Togepi Shop Proposal - Castform's Forecast Shop

Castform's Forecast Shop

Rules
1. Here at Castform's Forecast Shop, we offer capsules that have a chance to contain various items or trinkets!
2. Post in the thread to purchase a capsule, or more than one! Make sure to link to the Pokebank to show how much money you're spending!
3. Wait until the attendant comes along to crack open your capsule for you! Afterwards, you can post to claim your reward.
4. That's all! It's that easy and fun!

Note: Castform's Forecast Shop is not responsible for excessive purchases or addiction. Please play responsibly.

Sunny Capsule - 200 Pokedollars ☼
20% chance to contain a trinket, 30% chance to contain a minor item, 50% or a major item! Less than 1% chance of a mystery prize!
☔︎ Rainy Capsule - 150 Pokedollars ☔︎
20% chance to contain a trinket, 50% chance to contain a minor item, and 30% chance to contain a major item!
Chilly Capsule - 100 Pokedollars ⛇
30% chance to contain a trinket, 20% chance to contain a simple item, 50% chance to contain a minor item!
♦︎ Dusty Capsule - 50 Pokedollars ♦︎
75% chance to contain a trinket, 25% chance to contain a simple item!
Cloudy Capsule - 50 Pokedollars ☁
Contains any set of seals! Any seal that you already have 1 of can be refunded for half of the original cost.

Due to Fizzytopian Regulations, Castform's Forecast Shop is required to show all participants all possibilities for their capsules. The tiers of items are as follows:

Spoiler: show
Trinkets:
Nothing of real value. Quirky items, i.e. "Bag of Marbles" or "Box of Crayons" or "Staryu Keychain".

Simple Items
- x3 of Cheri Berry, Chesto Berry, Pecha Berry, Rawst Berry, Aspear Berry, Leppa Berry, Oran Berry, or Persim Berry. (Status and Health Berries.)
- x2 of Liechi Berry, Ganlon Berry, Salac Berry, Petaya Berry, Apicot Berry, Kee Berry, or Maranga Berry. (Stat Altering Berries.)
- x5 Pokeball
- x1 set of Line, Smoke, or Party-Popper Seals

Minor Items
- x1 of Occa Berry, Passho Berry, Wacan Berry, Rindo Berry, Yache Berry, Chople Berry, Kebia Berry, Shuca Berry, Coba Berry, Payapa Berry, Tanga Berry, Charti Berry, Kasib Berry, Haban Berry, Colbur Berry, Babiri Berry, Chilan Berry, or Roseli Berry. (Type Effectiveness Berries.)
- x1 Type-Boosting Gem
- x2 Special Balls (Dive, Dusk, heal, Nest, Net, Quick, Repeat, Timer) or x1 Luxury Ball
- x1 Set of Electric, Flame, Foam, or Flower Seals


Major Items
- x1 Type Held Item ((Black Belt, Black
Glasses, Charcoal, Dragon Fang, Hard Stone,
Magnet, Miracle Seed, Mystic Water, Never-Melt
Ice, Poison Barb, Sharp Beak, Silk Scarf, Silver
Powder, Soft Sand, Spell Tag, Twisted Spoon, Stainless Gear)
- x1 Random TM
- x1 Incense
- x1 set of Star, Heart, Musical, or Alphabet Seals

Mystery Items
One item rolled randomly from your Memakyu in the Shrine of the Third Eye thread. If you do not have a Memakyu, it will contain 10 Rare Candies.


Welcome to a weird idea I had one day! Mods have already looked this over and balanced out economy and stuff, so no worries there. Who's a fan? This is mostly made to do two things: 1. Fill the emotional void left by the loss of our dearest gacha simulator, the Egg House, and 2. Let us sink our hard earned Pokedollars into something moderately useless.

Also, seals become a thing again because HECK YEAH SEALS

Personally not a fan of the 'Trinkets' option being a thing.

Trinkets are just another word for "Nothing", just with fun flavor text so that it doesn't feel like a loss.

The trinkets do seem useless, but then, who's to say what's really useless in FB? My character once managed to save himself from a flock of hungry Golbat with a handful of expired event Pokéblocks.

But yeah, I like this idea.

Proposal: Get rid of the Cloudy Ball and replace all trinkets with seals.

Or keep the Cloudy Ball, make it all "uncommon/rare" seals, and replace all Trinkets with all seals.

Trinkets btw, can be sold for $10 at The Department Store. There's your use for it if you're looking for one.

That doesn't really make them useful though, as it only gives back a miniscule reimbursement for your initial investment. The cool thing about the old egg house in comparison is that even if you rolled a dud, you never made a loss at all (since it was always a free roll).

Now, I'm not saying there's no place for a bit of risk to be involved. That might even be what makes it exciting. But trinkets should always be advertised for what it is: Trash. Cute and flavorful trash.

Hi I am in definite support of this, trinkets and all. (Heck, the whole reason I joined the S.S. Tidal Cruise was just so I could get my hands on all the Corsola memorabilia. *hugs her Shiny Corsola keychain* <3)

But yeah, this looks like a great way to still have some Gatchapon fun, as well as a more reliable method to earn items than through RP. (Although I may just be forced to make a Memakyu now... Man.)

Oh that's exactly what the trinkets are supposed to be I thought; an element of risk when purchasing a capsule. The 'junk' you technically obtain can at least be sold then for a small reimbursement. But that is definitely all it is I think.

I love this, and honestly like the trinkets as much as anything else. This sort of thing shouldn't really be guaranteeing an item anyway imo, and the trinkets are a cute way to make that suck less.

Ok, trinkets can stay but at least knock the 'Absolute fail' chance down a bit please. One in five is pretty damn high for what is essentially the 'haha fuck you' result imo.

Can I make a proposal and add 3x Rare Candies to the Major Item list? 10 Rare Candies is a huge benefit for anyonr without an Emakiss if they get super lucky on that 1% role. Maybe even 1 Rare Candy. Other than that I honestly think everything is fine. Some people would like the trinkets and I do think of a way to sell them back for a small amount of cash would also be good.

Hum, oddly familiar that! :P
Neat little idea, trinkets included. A bag of marbles is so much more fun that an Oran Berry.

Yup. Trinkets are mostly important because sometimes, gachapon machines give you garbage and Castform's Forecast Shop isn't meant to be a 100% chance of cool things. There's risk!

Totes fair. I'll add x3 Rare Candies to the Major Item List.

Just a thought for the crowd: because the Emakiss thing was just sort of something I came up with on a whim, who would be okay with me changing that to be any FB Custom Item? (So anything from this list or any version of it that gets updated)

I approve of this. Also prevents abuse by limiting one's Emakiss to a single item.

Oh man, great idea Tyoyo! I simply adore gachapon. Here's a thought: why not make some of the trinkets seasonal/part of a series to increase desirability among prospective collectors? Intrinsic value of collectibles might drive people to exchange real items for others' so-called "garbage".

Okay, since this is a good idea and would hate for it to die. IS everyone fine on this? Toy, are you fine with what has been discussed? Mods, are you fine with Toy SOing (or someone of his choosing)?

I'll say once more- I like this shop. I like the idea behind it, and I even like the idea of failure being represented in the form of getting seemingly useless trinkets, because I just know I'll be able to find unconventional uses for some of them in zones somehow.

Alright so, changelog for the shop. If everyone is cool with this, then mods just gotta say it's good to go. I'll gladly SO for it, but I won't be taking FC for it. Feels weird to me to take rewards for something of my own design.

- x3 Rare Candies added to the major item list
- Mystery Prize is a random item rolled from the FB custom item list
- Trinkets can be traded in at the Pokebank for 10 Pokedollars
- Seasonal trinkets will be a thing
