I'm at no support for reasons already stated by people who said they were neutral, and my main reasons for saying no support are not because I hate helping people or anything. I don't want to seem like a bad guy for saying "no" but here is why I don't support:

-New users would rely on others to tell them everything instead of finding things out on their own, teach a man to fish if you will as apposed to giving a man a fish. I'd rather have new users look to the wiki, explore the site, earn PD, and grow as apposed to being babied. When I saw people start don't get me wrong, I too donated to them and gave them Pokemon, and sometimes I still get messages from those people asking me for money they could earn themselves or rare Pokemon for free.

-New users might use this sub forum just like they do the intro section: for spam and two worded posts. Either to say "Come click my eggs" or "I need money for this and that give it to me" or "double post double post double post until I get what I want or reported" or "how do I hatch my eggs?" or "how do I get honey?" things like that. Not saying all new people are like this but a majority of them tend to be because they simply don't know or maybe this is the first site they've used a forum in and don't have a common sense for things. So now there would be two forums for newbie spam and already answered questions: the intro section and this new sub forum.

-We do have a "newbie" section of the forums of course where they introduce themselves. If you like you can always go there and write a message saying "Hey, welcome to the site! My name is so-and-so and here's some starter money here are some links for you such as the wiki, the help section, the minor updates thread, ect. good luck!" So really you can do that already.

-

QuoteAll they would have to do is post under a user's thread saying they want to be adopted or something like that, and it would work like that.

This can be done without another sub forum, just write in the introduction section for example "Hi, I'm a user who has been here awhile and I'd like to help you."

-

QuoteBy having an Adopt-A-Newbie section, it would also help the "Help" forum for when Newbies have questions that were answered before, they would just have to ask their "Adopter" instead.

This is what I mean by babying new users. By saying "Hey instead of looking in the Help section just rely on asking other users because they'll tell you." How about instead just write "Search the forums for your answers" this teaches users to self provide as apposed to running to their favorite user with all their questions and problems.

-Making friends doesn't mean having someone hold your hand when you first come to a site. Granted people might get friends from this, but it might cripple users as well. They may look to their adopter and have that person be their best friend forever, instead of actually branching out and exploring the forums and making friends that way. Coming from me I got friends because I asked questions, had people answer them, I searched the forums for "How do I get honey? (Haha)" and found users that way. But if just one user is a fountain of information then people may not branch out and try and make friends. They may just cling to their adopter.

-How long is new anyway? What will happen if a user hits level 10? Do they get disowned? Do they still count as a newbie if they're a slow learner? How long will they be able to ask for PD and Plushies and Pokemon until you say "Alright, you should be used to the site now, go do things yourself." And what if that friendship between new user and adopter was built on the fact the adopter gave that new person stuff? And once the adopter stops, the new user is angry or confused. That might leave them with a bad impression. How long will the user be babied until it's okay to tell them to do things themselves? Will they know how?

Now I'm not saying helping new users is bad, or crippling, or horrible. It's just if you're going to do it, do it because you want to take the time and check the intro forum and want to help a new person. Go out of your way to check the help forum and answer questions. If you see a new post in the introduction thread then introduce yourself to the new person maybe? Maybe give some PD? You don't need to make a sub forum for them to come out and say "Help me" because if they're new chances are they need help. And if they don't want your help then that's okay too. Instead of making a sub forum for users to spam and beg and plead for stuff, just go to them and hopefully they won't spam these requests else where. And of course if you're going to help new users try and put emphasis on them helping themselves, as apposed to begging other users.

No support. We already have the mall that sells various items and goods listed in that list you linked to, from the battle shop to sell protein to the item shop to sell Evo stones and berries. But some stuff doesn't even apply to Pokeheroes, like PP restores, Full Restores, Apricorns, ect. at least not yet.

As for games we already have the lottery, the slot machine, the treasure hunt, all of which have a chance for providing various items and money to buy items. So, you can either win these items or buy them.

	rolls in Righty oh! Let's see, people who have the correct rule, and a Pokeradar, are accepted. Carry on! I'll update the list as soon as I can, so probably pretty soon. Also this is a shiny hunters thread, not a gem exchange. So keep on topic. [Read more]

	So you mean how your avatar looks currently? Then just go to Paint, or GIMP, or Photoshop, or any picture editing program and do it yourself. [Read more]

	This seems like something that should be in the contest section or something. Also there isn't a Mewtwo Plushie in the dream store yet, or shinies, so.... Not sure what this is about? Also you say "pay 100" 100 what? PD? Dream Points? Hugs? Also paying 100 of anything for a free Bulbasaur isn't free haha, that's the exact opposite of free I think. [Read more]

	Support. I've seen Safari Zones on other sites and they seem to work pretty well, just my only concern would be getting Pokemon too easily due to this? But overall I find it nice. [Read more]

No support.

Depending on what your shiny hunting getting eggs from tall grass, gem collector, and daycare is enough. Doubling the eggs you get on x2 day along with double the points received to hatch those eggs makes this just too easy.

Something you may want to do with your party while waiting for eggs is to put in your battle team. Level up Pokemon, show off your favorite Pokemon, things like that to level up your Pokemon on x2 days. At least that's what I do if I don't have eggs that need hatching.

	Now lucky me I have an iPhone and Android Unlucky me I can't spend money on that app currently. So I'll have to wait until I get paid. I hope this app is super duper mega awesome, I've never ever ever spent money on an app for any mobile device before that was above 99 cents so this will be my first. [Read more]

	I think I understand what you're saying??? You want multiple pictures to be your avatar? Either at once, as in spliced together, or like a gif where they cycle through is what I don't understand. [Read more]

I'm confused by this.

What pop-up system? And to keep Pokemon from evolving you buy an Everstone from the item shop and have it hold it.

As for trading items, I think you mentioned it there, that has already been suggested again and again for an item trading station.

As for battle team and daycare, whatever that has to do with this, any bugs or issues should be reported in the bugs section.

If you make suggestions make them well organized and thought out and explained, because this was quite the jumble to read through. Also check and see if anything you've suggested has been suggested before by searching the forums.

	Ah I see, sure you can PM the totals, and if people won't PM I guess they don't want to and that's fine haha [Read more]

	You need a Pokeradar to join and the rule is wrong. I need to update the list of shinies everyone has. I know I had a math person to figure that out for me but if people want to post their totals for me that'd be great. [Read more]

	I don't like that restriction actually, I think it should just be any egg that you grab when your party is full, as long as it asks first. [Read more]

	I don't support, considering it think this would be something you'd use once. Because once you use it, chances are you won't be adding random bunches of people again just to use this feature. It'd be quicker to right now go through your list, even using the method Riako mentioned, and start deleting now as apposed to waiting for this feature to be implemented. [Read more]

	Hello all, just an update on my hunt. Gastly In hopes of having a Shiny Mega but will easily settle for just a mega haha Eggs are coming in pretty consistently as well. Lucky me! [Read more]

	Neutral on this one, mainly because I don't care if I win or lose or if others lose a lot or win a lot so this wouldn't affect me majorly anyway. But I can see why people may not like that to be shown to everyone and anyone. [Read more]
