MasterHikerPaul Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Hello, the mega stone shop doesn't have Mega Stones for any of my favorite Pokemon that Mega evolve. I have an Aggron (my favorite Pokemon), a Steelix, a Camerupt, and a Tyranitar I want to mega. Can you please at least help me get an Aggronite?

Guest Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Nobody wants to do the sidequests. They are far too long and grindy. Even I can't get through all of them and I am normally a completionist. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, in the long run it's still one of the best ways to get money. And that's not even considering the other rewards you can get. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have time to battle through 1,000 trainers with Rattata just for this. Why not create actual overworld sidequests like exploring an abandoned ship or retrieving a missing pair of glasses? 5 hours ago, Auke1993 said: This is an incorrect statement.

Arceus blast it, I tried doing like thirty of these stupid sidequest trainers and all I got was my Pokemon to Level 100 which I would have done anyway at the Pokemon League!

Sorry Auke, but I have to agree with Master Hiker Paul. I battled through like 45 trainers and got literally nothing. Not even a ThunderStone or something let alone a Blue Orb. I think the sidequests should really be improved like MasterHikerPaul said. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenova Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 (edited) You will have a chance at obtaining rewards once you have completed a region (for more information you can check out the PV wiki page- https://wiki.pokemon-vortex.com/wiki/Sidequests 30-45 battles is not even halfway to completing the first section yet- that's still in the Kanto region. If you're finding that battles are difficult to go through, then it would be best to have a team that covers all your bases to account for the the different types of Pokémon you'll encounter. Moreover, the Thunder Stone is something you would have to purchase at the PokéMart for 3000 PD, it's not a drop from sidequests. As for the blue orb, it is considered a rare drop; and you would have to complete the Hoenn region for a chance of it dropping (because of the rarity, it may now even drop the first time). Battles can take a lot of time, but it serves a purpose being that way. If it was so easy to get items like a blue orb then it would have pretty much no value and nearly every player would have variants of Kyogre (Primal). Like any other game you have to do a lot of battles to get good loot, and that's no different in Pokémon Vortex- whether it's for items from sidequests, points, training for exp or for obtaining Pokédollars, you just have to do a lot of battles (that being said, if you don't want to do that, then mystery boxes and auctions are another way to get rare items).

I just think it's far too monotonous and excessive. Like why is genuine overworld sidequests not a valid option? There is a reason we are not Redditors here; we should not be downvoting each others' opinions like this! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 I would also like to add in that I want to know what changes he has considered. I think the best idea is probably to make more of an adventure for the sidequests and decrease the monotonous battling through 1000 trainers with Rattatas and Onixes.

I don't recall the details, but it has been previously discussed on the Forums. Unfortuantely I don't remember which topic it was in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kogamaster1234 Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 At least all the side quest pokes are lvl100 if you are only a few level your doomed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really isn't that fun to have to grind through endless trainers for comparatively small rewards. Why not at least make them big targets like trainers with Level 150 Legendaries for the orbs and mega stones and stuff? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
