ty_taurus Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 So I thought of a cool idea for a lengthy side quest for a 1-time-only useful item.. Basically there would be this guy that shows up in 7th street with a crazy idea and needs your help! He asks for crystals that can only be found several locations such as: Rodochrine Jungle - Green Crystal Beneath the grand stairway - Orange Crystal Pyrous Mountain - Red Crystal Byxbysion Wasteland - Violet Crystal Iolia Valley - Yellow Crystal Ametrine Mountain - Blue Crystal You can collect those items only after speaking to the guy, and when you come back and hand them over he grinds them up and makes the item "Shiny Dust" Using Shiny Dust on a Pokemon makes them shiny. Like I said, it would be the only time you can get that item so if you waste it, there's no getting another. I think it would be a nice thing to add for anyone that wants their signature Pokemon to be a shiny Anyone like this idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xiri Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Sounds neat, but the chances of shiny encounters in Reborn are already quite high enough anyway... so I don't think there is really much point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phlytosion Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 (edited) Considering shinies already have an increased chance, I don't see Ame implementing an item like this. The side quest however, may be able to be used for something else if she likes the idea.

Marissa Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 (edited) It would be interesting. I think there should be 7 crystals though, like a rainbow. Indigo might be too similar to either blue or purple, so you could make the 7th crystal pink if you'd prefer. I think you should also be able to use it on a shiny pokemon to de-shinfy them though (not that most people would actually do that, just that it'd be kind of funny).

TurboAura Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Hmm... I'm all for it, though you'd likely have to limit the number of crystals from 6 to 3 or less, just to make it 'more legitimate', and minimize opposers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 (edited) Very interesting, I don't really see the issue with this as it only changes the looks. Would there be a special crystal to revert it back to the original sprite if it was needed?

Phlytosion Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 If implemented there would be 4 crystals. Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, and Amethyst since those 4 "colors" are a big part of the story line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonikku Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 should be 7 crystals though, like a rainbow. CHAOS EMERALDS CONFIRMED FOR REBORN HYPE HYPE ALL ABOARD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ty_taurus Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 Sounds neat, but the chances of shiny encounters in Reborn are already quite high enough anyway... so I don't think there is really much point the point was more to give the player 1 free effortless (Kinda) shiny. Chances are still less than 1%, and some might want to have a shiny signature Pokemon or something, and this would also let you make sure their IV's were good It could probably change to the 4 reborn crystals, but should all be during different weather effects maybe, so its a little harder to get them all quickly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derekwst3 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 (edited) I think a (shop) could open up and shiny (dye the pokemon). Make it cost semi reasonable because shinnies don't affect the game much... this could give options to have more than one shiny for each pokemon, the choices would be normal pokemon color, normal shiny, or reborn shiny. they could call it Sparkle Salon, and have a shiny Maractus as its mascot. maybe each time you use the salon they could add a point on your salon card and after seven you can either get a free treatment, or a egg (not sure what to throw in here) Also want a place to change my rotom, he wants to be a washing machine Edited September 28, 2014 by derekwst3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's nothing more than a nice cosmetic difference, but I think and endless supply would really bring down the value or satisfaction of getting a shiny. That's why I didn't think it should be a repeatable quest. One time per save file I think is reasonable, it makes you really think about what Pokemon you want to use it on, cause if you want to breed a stronger one later, you may want to save the shiny dust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinny Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 The side quest however, may be able to be used for something else if she likes the idea. Get all the crystals, guy makes something with it. Use it on a shiny Carbink and you get a Diancie. BAM xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaunt Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Interesting idea, i like the fact that it's only single use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etesian Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Then I wouldn't have to swap the shiny and non-shiny sprites in the Game's Folder for my Drapion anymore! Um, I-I mean...good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheep Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 That would annoy me so much. Every Drapion is a shiny Drapion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nails Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 That would annoy me so much. Every Drapion is a shiny Drapion. I assume he only swapped the backsprites. But maybe not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etesian Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 I assume he only swapped the backsprites. But maybe not. Pretty much. And I made all the Arbok shiny because radioactive Arbok looks so good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solarance Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 (edited) Instead of that item here is an idea to replace that one.... it makes the level cap increase like 2 levels or something Edited September 28, 2014 by !

Cornerman Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 (edited) The shiny item Would be nice for event pokes who cant become shiny (i'm prob's talking bullshit) lvl cap +2 item Seems alright but only until you have received a new badge because others it will make the game easier which we dont want around here because its supposed to be hard w8 could you go over lvl100 in pokemon reborn if the +lvl5 per badge would keep applying because others we will be stuck on some lvl's for 2 badges because 11th badge lvl75-16th badge lvl100 Oh w8 only 2 badges so nvm Edited September 28, 2014 by Cornerman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
