TAT Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 (edited) Disclaimer : This is just a debate, which includes some of my suggestions and thoughts and also other's. This will in no way change the way Pokemon vortex works. unless pat somehow decides to add it Iv'e always asked for pat to add a premium currency to vortex, he was always hesitant about it for some reason. Do you think a premium currency should be added to vortex? What are the premium advantages that should be added Here is what i think from my perspective : The game developers don't generate any revenue on the game, Which makes in a certain way less caring about it, but in case they add premium currency, they'll be a hole lot more interested in it and will further more invest their time in it, making the gaming experience better for us For the advantages, I think they should be simple, and wouldn't ruin the gaming experience for non-Premium users, Like: Removing Advertisements . Higher chance of getting unique pokemons, (2.5% - 10% ) . A special icon next to their name, something like a gold badge or something. 250,000 Pokedollars evry week. And more stuff Please share your thoughts about this idea. Edited February 4, 2016 by TAT Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
iZeus Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 First of all , I don't want it to be added in game. Everyone can't donate and so they will miss the features ,the richer ones enjoy. And for Removing Advertisement, people still do that using Adblocker. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbertiger Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 i think a premium would be a good idea but you have to do certain things for the premium tokens like so many battles won in a day a check point thing for one person only. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanroximusJr Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 (edited) Bad idea. This would make Vortex a "pay to win" sort of game. This game is basically just for us to have fun, it seems they could care less about earning money from the game.

Guest Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 With "Pokemon Go!" coming out sometime this year (Or so Nintendo has lead us to believe, even though we STILL have no release date.) I would think putting a price on an unofficial, online game (No matter how good the site is) would be a huge shot in the foot. If given the choice between perks on an unofficial online fan-run game, or goodies on an official Pokemon AR app, most people are going to choose the latter. And a lot of people don't make a living out of gaming (I'm not slandering it), and some people don't even see gaming as a hobby, but a pass-time to escape the crappy real world (me), and those vast majority of people will NOT spend much on games.

Briar Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Companies tend to be fine with little fan projects that do make money as long as they're not raking in enough cash to retire. That's how merch vendors and fan artists can get away with it. I can't imagine Vortex makes enough in donations that Patrick can buy a beachfront house in Hawaii which is why Nintendo hasn't cared. If Vortex makes enough serious money to get Nintendo's attention, they will put down a legal foot. They've done it before to fan creators. Premium currency opens up a door to legal hot water if it makes too much money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would make Vortex more of 'paying game' like Clash of Clans. A lot of the top players just bought their way there (*cough cough* Donation pokemon *Cough Cough* Blood_Crypt *cough cough*) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sportsandmusic69 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 I believe that this could be done, but it would have to be done very carefully as to not give any advantage to to certain people. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
