"[idea] Idea for Mythicals that doesn't require ganging up on Mew and Celebi for a chance of catching them"


#PokemonGO: I met someone at a raid the other day who had quite an interesting idea for catching the mythicals that doesn't need the current raid mechanics of getting a group of people together to gang up on and beat up Mew or Celebi for a chance of catching them. Instead, how about every time you catch a pokemon you get a very small percentage chance of a mythical spawn just for you, but with an extremely low catch rate and maybe something like an Abra where you only have one chance before it runs away?This gives the player the experience of having to wander around the world catching pokemon where the mythicals are also floating around and every now and then you get the chance to catch one, and if it gets away then you have to keep looking hoping to run into it again. Potential benefits of this idea:Encourages people to actually play the game againAll pokemon become valuable catches again for those who have a complete (or almost complete) pokedex, and renewed motivation for people to go hunt for what they're missingLures and Incense become useful again (and a potential source of income for Niantic instead of raid passes along with bag space for item management and possibly pokeball sales) since even an increase in pidgeys and hoothoots would still be another chance for a mythical spawnThe increased catches for players will increase their dust, xp, and candies for evolution sprees so would result in leveling up.Maybe extra motivation for Gold Gym badges since item management will be more importantFor Niantic - using this as an opportunity to get the wave of new/returning players who came for legendaries to actually play the game again while they have the motivation to do so for the mythicals could possibly increase the number of players who'll remain once the novelty of raids wear off/raid fatigue sets in/niantic run out of legendaries to put in raids. This could also tie in to the Gen 3 release in some way. Possible downsides however includes that it's still unfair on rural players, however they have a better shot with this system than having more 5 star raids instead, and an especially better shot than Ex Raids. Thoughts? via /r/pokemongo http://ift.tt/2xUVBo2
