Welcome to Gaia! ::

@Kunx: It is true that using gold for anything other than Gaia online's interest goes against their TOS, but as far as I've seen within the pokemon community (and the entire gaming community), it really isn't that enforced. I think the only time it will really be enforced is when real money is distributed amongst its users based on the passing of "their property".


@Lord Shadow: Since the battle scene here is mostly based on the DS games and a majority here still prefer as such, we are trying to maintain ia consistent battle scene that doesn't require you do download anything. That is not to say that we are not considering either or.

Blast foiled again.

Maybe have a safety thing. Leveler must give one of their best pokemon until leveling is done.

Really it's all down to the player's decision. This idea of a leveling up system will probably be discussed further with the crew on whether or not it would be a good idea to support.

With that whole leveling thing.. what would stop someone like with (With an action replay) from feeding the pokemon a bunch of rare candies to get it it's level? Unless that's the point, if so, then I'd be able to help since I have an endless supply of rare candies..

PERSONALLY, that's would be the way I'd want it done if I was paying someone to level my pokemon (I'd make sure I EV trained it first though) I don't know if I'd be alright with someone holding my pokemon for days trying to level it up the normal way.

Personally, I like EXP SHARE and E4 runs for leveling up pokemon.

Now, if I were performing a service, I would want to get it done as quickly as possible. If I was being paid to level someone's pokemon I would explain that I will level it for x amount (Whatever seems fair) per level (Or possibly a pokemon for trade). I would also explain how I intend to level said pokemon (Which would be with the AR'd rare candies) I wouldn't make the poor guy wait days for his pokemon back when I could accomplish the exact same thing using rare candies.

I could understand it being a bad thing if someone was charging an outlandish amount and then saying they were doing it by leveling it up normally but were secretly just feeding it rare candies.

Personally, I can't do anything because my DS is acting up and I'm afraid of corrupting my save data... Kinda bummed about that..

EDIT:: Also, I have to disagree with this kind of service I think what is paid for is the end result and the speed at which it is achieved. Especially if the people who are offering their services are upfront about how they perform said services.

Who do you think will get more business? (Let's pretend we both have the same reputation and are both as well known as each other. Both of us are really trustworthy and have done good things in the past. Not only that, there's talk to vote out Kyren and install you and I as leaders of this guild... okay that's a little farfetch'd.. You get what I mean.)

I offer my services to rare candy your pokemon to any level you want within an hour of you handing it over. ANY LEVEL One hour guarantee. I charge 100 per level and 100 for the service.

You offer your services to raise the pokemon through the normal method of gaining XP without the use of rare candies. Your prices are the same as mine, only it COULD possibly take day to complete.

Not only is my service faster, but I could also level people's main pokemon if they wanted me to because it wouldn't leave them stuck for very long.

I wouldn't call using rare candies unfair though, as long as I'm not hiding what I'm doing. I also think that BOTH options should be available because some people might not want to wait a long time to have someone level their Pokemon but at the same time some people might not want their Pokemon leveled with rare candies. I do believe that the rare candy way is better because it achieves the same end result only faster (Unless EV training was also agreed upon in which case the rare candy method is not good.)

Your method is no more "Fair" than mine, yours just requires more work for the same pay. The customer get's the same end result at the end of the deal.

NOW, If I had also agreed to EV train said pokemon, then I just fed it some *Drugs* to boost EV's a little bit and then fed it rare candies to level it, it would be unfair (And just plain wrong in my opinion.)

Oh you weren't getting voted out because you did anything wrong, you were amazing but we were just THAT MUCH cooler. We were so cool that you voted for us.

As for Organic VS. Processed I'm impartial, whatever tastes better in MY opinion is what I like, one thing might be organic one might not be.
