Mehh I was trying for the shiny. Maybe next time. I’m happy the odds are changing to make it more fair.

I was hoping for a shiiny too, but I guess I will have to just get stupidly lucky. I don't know if I can bring myself to buy 18 or 19k tickets, especially since there is no guarantee I would win one anyway

Not only that, some people want it changed to a 5 number win to get a shiny. That would make it pretty impossible

I wish there would be an option to buy the amount of tickets you want. I would like to buy 10k tickets at once instead of clicking like crazy >.<

I agree. I actually crashed a couple times, trying to buy 1000 tickets earlier today

I was hoping to get a normal one, but luck wasn't on my side this time. Maybe next time I just need to buy more tickets^^`

Having to refresh repeatedly is the only thing keeping ridiculously high numbers of tickets from being generated (Well, ridiculously higher than what is already being generated).

I think it's fine the way it is. But I would like to know how many tickets I have.
Looking to trade pokemon or net yourself some easy CE credits? Then check out my Trade thread!

There are a lot of shinies which look very similar to their normal counterparts. Arm yourself with knowledge!

For me the refreshing methode doesn't work very well. The loading takes ways longer than clicking 20 times at the "random-link".

Honestly tho I don't see that much speed improvement with pages loading. As always it takes forever to play the Click Exchange, a system already slow by its concept (never wondered why here the most users online is 301 and on another similar website I won't mention the number of users active only during the last 24 hours is 4,829?)

Idea for the lottery:

Work with an extra number, like the real lottery does. Mosty it's a zodiac sign.
If you match 4, you do get the regular one. Have the zodiac sign too? Shiny!

I wonder why you don't clip the images from the pokedex. It would be much faster, because it needs just one tcp connection for all images. I don't know why the server is slow anyway. There shouldn't be that much workload on the cpu, is there maybe old code which is slowing it down? Is there a way I can see if I can help?

it seems the more complains the more things got removed...

--Guess the Number
Guess the number Jirachi is thinking of and it will join you.

--Virturaffle
Buy tickets for a raffle to increase your chances of winning the prize.

--Lottery
Buy tickets to win the lottery.

I hope it will be fixed soon..

They get cached once loaded the first time, so it isn't terrible. But yeah, the site was started 10 years ago and the code is showing its age.

I made a change a few hours ago to hopefully make the Click Exchange load questions faster. It seems to me like it is faster. Let me know what you think.

Oh hai, I have been coming to this site off and for many years, recently had my 8th anniversary with the site- hurray me, I just wanted to pop in to say that i'm really happy how fast the site is overall.
I will admit the slowness of the site was making it hard to do my daily farming for exchange points and for poke'dollars to enjoy the other site stuff but since it's pretty fast now, even with my sad excuse for internet, I think I might be putting more time into the site again.
I can't wait to spend hours clicking and hatching, I missed doing it very much~

Good work on all the little and big things you and your staff do over the years. u wub
(Now back to being a old ghost on the site and forum)
