The Poké Mart!

[Duck]

Entered September. Discounted a bunch of Mega Stones. Aims to capitalize.

Wishes to purchase: Aggronite, Ampharosite, Audinite, Beedrillite, Blastoisinite, Diancite, Galladite, Heracronite, and Houndoomite

(650 + 550 + 500 + 500 + 700 + 800 + 600 + 500 + 600) * 0.5 = 2700

12045 - 2700 = 9345

Sounds about right, although I think you miscounted your total points.
We have you with 12055 points on our records (9355 after this purchase).

Either way, enjoy your rocks!

I'm short a Regional Stone for finishing my Regional challenges due to repurposing one of the VPP's I had originally assigned to one.
And while I'm in here buying I'll stock up on some Candy too, as I still need to continue that challenge too =P

So I'll be buying:
1 x Regional Stone = 600
7 x Gigantamax Candy = 500 x 7 = 3.500

16.970 - 600 - 3.500 = 12.870 points left

We have you having 17.590 in our records, but other than that, here you go!

You should have 13,490 points left.

Does that total include points for in-progress mons by any chance?
16.970 + 20 + 100 for the in progress VPP's at the time would've been 17.090
I don't add points to my total until a VPP is finished.

Which would still leave a 500 points discrepancy. I reran the numbers with a calculator and came up with the same total.
Unless ribbons are still 500 points for each one you obtain, I got no idea where that discrepancy is from. 🤔

We do add points to our records before completion.
As for the ribbon thing, you probably got one with 500 points before we changed the system so those points are grandfathered in, I suppose.

Just making a note for complete transparency. This may be useful for future VPP team members.

Ribbons were never actually 500 points each, some were mistakenly awarded as such for a time due to an error on our behalf. If people have different amounts then that is the reason. We will not be removing any originally awarded points, nor bumping up any that were handled correctly. For this particular concern we decided to let everyone keep what they'd been given, even if it was too much.

End users and staff alike should refer to the original obtain post if in any doubt 😊

Thought about it. Wants the rest of the discounted Mega Stones:
- 300 for Abomasite
- 325 for Aerodactylite
- 300 for Alakazite
- 300 for Altarianite
- 275 for Banettite
- 350 for Blazikenite
- 300 for Cameruptite
- 350 for Charizardite X
- 350 for Charizardite Y
- 375 for Garchompite
- 300 for Gardevoirite
- 325 for Gengarite
- 300 for Glalitite
- 325 for Gyaradosite

300 + 325 + 300 + 300 + 275 + 350 + 300 + 350 + 350 + 375 + 300 + 325 + 300 + 325 = 4475

Alternatively: (600 + 650 + 600 + 600 + 550 + 700 + 600 + 700 + 700 + 750 + 600 + 650 + 600 + 650) / 2 = 4475

10395 - 4475 = 5920

Might as well exploit the sale for some mega stones now that I got one from the event. There were some more Megas I wanted to raise that didn't fit in the 10 for the challenge the first time round.

1 x Ampharosite = 550 x 0.5 = 275
1 x Blazikenite = 700 x 0.5 = 350
1 x Cameruptite = 600 x 0.5 = 300
1 x Galladite = 600 x 0.5 = 300

275 + 350 + 300 + 300 = 1.225

15.205* - 1.225 = 13.980 points
* (or 15.380 with current WIP VPP's)

Thanks! :D

I'll pick up some more Mega stones while they're on sale:

Pidgeotite x1 = 500 points
Salamencite x1 = 750 points
Sceptilite x1 = 700 points
Swampertite x1 = 700 points
Tyranitarite x1 = 750 points

500 + 750 + 700 + 700 + 750 = 3.400
3.400 x 0.5 = 1.700

17.235* - 1.700 = 15.535 points
* or 17.335 with the active Tag Team.

Checks out. Enjoy raising some more Megas.

Edit: Actually, add 10 to your points. May have forgotten to add Arcanine's 10 points. Does not see it in your point history. Link to the Obtain thread.

 

[ReKoil]

Gonna need 2 Regional Stones as well actually.

Regional Stone x2 = 600 x 2 = 1.200 points.

15.545 - 1.200 = 14.345 points

Apparently I forgot to add Arcanine's 10 Master points to the total and points history yeah =\
Fixed now.

Two Regional Stones for you! :D

 

[ReKoil]

Guess I should've used my regional stones sooner, all I can do is ask for a refund now.

2 regional stones purchased at 600 a piece = 1.200

1.200 x 0.5 = 600 points refunded.

Also gonna pick up an Ultranecrozium Z while I'm here as Ultra Necrozma will be my next Legendary.

16.915* + 600 - 200 = 17.315
(*17.015 with in progress Tag Team)
