How should TPK battle mechanics evolve moving forward?
Note: this is purely an opinion poll to gauge community preference. Voting for an option does not guarantee it will be implemented... it’s meant to help guide future design discussions!
Do you prefer fast-paced high-spam combat where AFK/automation strategies dominate... or a shift toward slower, more strategic battles that are lore accurate to canon Pokémon? [Option A] Fast & Automated: Keep battles spammy and let AFK/automation playstyles stay overpowered. [Option B] Strategic & Lore-Accurate: Slow down the pace and shift toward authentic, canon Pokémon mechanics. Simply reply A or B and feel free to explain why you chose ur option either in PMs, or with a reply below if you'd like the community to also hear your opinion. https://forms.gle/HPbwc28is43frCgs9  |

A Unless somehow the rule on Macros has been magically lifted, there is no AFK/Automation playstyles allowed on TPK with the possible exception of smelting. These options are written with a clear preference by the asker. This will not get you an accurate survey of the community I am very hesitant to make a major change to THE core mechanic of this game this many years in. XP and Currency acquisition would be affected, and even if you get the time per XP/Currency rate the same, the Effort per XP/Currency rate will be different with active battles. No matter what, you will make a lot of people upset as it either devalues the effort that has already been put into the game, OR new players will have to put in more effort for the same result. This seems like it would be a better discussion to have if TPK Red was still going to be a thing. As a clean slate gets rid of that last issue. Or a server Reset UwU?

A, feel like a slowing down of the game will be horrible. Game has always kind of thrived on big number = brain happy. [SBCH] Psyduck won on April 11, 2019, 12:28 pm for the 25th time.

A The community was built around that mechanic. There are plenty of games out there already that focus on B that benefit from having years of being fully fleshed out. If we had anything like B I'd prefer it being a separate game mode with a separate currency over replacing what we have (ie. Secret Dungeon vs BP grind) Training for $500 per bil or mons that I like.
