linear route changes

OPTION ONE * TWERKS IN AGREEMENT *

EDIT - HA FIRST

No, I disagree. Removing linear routes just makes the whole concept of pokemon 'appearing' in the wild useless-
If any and everyone can get their hands on any pokemon that appears anywhere in the routes, it will just make it less beneficial for the people who have managed to get very far within the routes. Non-linear routes would be chaotic, and anyway the use of HMS would be lessened.

Perhaps what we could do is Option 2, except cheaper or something? 10 PD sounds a bit too much for a single one-way travel ticket. Oorrr another alternative is to make a new, random location ("Hoenn Pub" XDD) within the Hoenn section of the board that acts as a...meeting point? Which anyone can access anytime regardless of their IC location. Or maybe multiple such locations? It works with either option 3 or option 2, allows for free plotting and casual interactions.

Idk, just my two cents. ;u;

option 1

Don't mind the linear route system. I won't mind whatever choice is made though.

I like the linear route system as well. It adds progress to the rp instead of it just being a free for all. plus the requirements aren't that bad, it being one thread of any length. you could request a spawn, kill it, and be done.

In the interest of having plots between members, I totally agree with adding a liquid time area like "The Hoenn Pub" or something, (perhaps a town instead since tavern rp is old and dead) and even the train idea is appealing.

i feel like removing linear routes would create a lot of chaos, and things might be confusing as to wild pokemon and things with such a large mix of strong & weak trainers in the same area, if that makes sense. i do like the train idea though, even as expensive as 10 PD each way is. _{sorry, i totally misunderstood haha, but maybe making it an expense each way, or raising the price of an all-access pass significantly (to the point where maybe extremely new characters couldn't afford it right off the bat) because the cost would give players an incentive to travel by foot in a linear fashion anyway to save money, while also providing another option if you really needed to get somewhere for plot or interaction reasons.}

i also like the idea Julius Kingston put forward about a location anyone can access without regards to where they are in the region
