Hiya! Apologies if this has been asked and/or answered before, not aware of a search function if one even exists and I'm kinda too lazy to go looking lmao. Just been on my mind as of late. Will PFNext have any kind of premium feature, or anything that would give an advantage to users for real cash? I say this as someone who *strongly* dislikes "membership" type things; a major turn off from games and such. It may be small things like higher shiny chance, but to some it's big (I'm big on collecting, so hunting for 1000+ melanistic Pokémon is.... yikes. It's a unique feature of the game, of course I'm going for it). I absolutely understand money is needed to keep the game up, but an ad or two at the top and/or bottom of the page is really no big deal and I'm sure many would agree and prefer ads over content behind a paywall. While nothing is actually locked behind a paywall here, it almost certainly feels like it. Not to mention, there are ***massive*** legal issues with it. I know GPX+ has been somewhat of a rival to you; they have no premium stuff on their site so it's friendly and open to everyone. Do what they do, but *better* ;) In short, no premium features would make a very nice game that's fair and balanced for all :)
Just want to state as someone who doesn't have much income, nowhere near enough to really put any money towards this site (Sad about it, I'd support this place more if I had money for it), I've never felt like Hypermode is a paywall. I can pretty easily keep up the monthly 600 ZC collecting when I put in a little effort, and that's also the case for the other upgrades like Ubercharm (even if I don't have one right now, ran out this morning and can't afford a new one yet). I've even been able to keep up melan hunting, something I once looked at and thought "Never happening, I could never manage the things needed for that", without spending money. If anything I'm glad the site goes for the option of spending money for getting stuff more easily (but not requiring it to get that stuff) instead of ads, because not even the most strict moderation settings on an ad provider will prevent some... let's just say, less than good ads, from showing up if they feel like it, because the companies that made those ads want money and don't care how they get it.
