whats the point of trading if i can catch every pokemon some one else has except for their starters

You can trade for Pokémon you can't catch yet because it's only available further into the game, for example.

i guess

You're playing a game that's still in development. Of course it's not finished. That shouldn't really need to be explained, but there you go.

I know he acted in a rude way there, but we can't blame him for being upset. Many games in public alpha/beta stages don't ever need to do any wipes whatsoever, so it's not all that common to start from scratch like this if you wanna have access to all the online features without cheaters (I've never used any cheats, BTW. All my Pokémon are legit). Well, at least now we all know that stuff like this can happen at any time, so don't get attached to anything AT ALL in this game, there's always a chance you'll lose everything if you want the full game experience.

Most games that go through public alpha/beta will have you reset your save when going into full version
We are doing it early but b/c the saves are online if something gamebreaking comes along later we can likely have a program go through and adjust the files or something(don't ask me if that actually works cause IDK) but the general idea is to have you reset as little as possible while still giving off a fair playing experience online
remember that while most don't some games make you restart your save EVERY version(not very often and when they do usually aren't very popular so no big names come to mind...)

trading can also be used by people who know what they are doing either with breeding or training to provide those services to others

Kerbal Space Program comes to mind for me. I'm not very good at it though so I've only ever lost a couple of satellites around the mun.

Dwarf Fortress is a good example and it's fairly popular, at least for neckbeards like me

i meann i like the trainer cards and level

I wouldn't like it if it was by itself but with these new features it is very necessary
this was planned to happen eventually as we have to rid the game of the pest called hacked pokemon
this way is the best b/c you get to keep your old save and use it....just in a different way.

Sure, it's annoying. But I really think the future benefits outweigh the negatives. I'll be losing a fairly strong Raticate solo run, but at least it will give me something else to do between updates . It is a shame that I won't be able to transfer it to my main game when I'm done, but oh well.

No, you're not. I really hate it, it's like a kick in the nuts for me, after all the hours invested into the game. But they do what they gotta do, game development is full of tough calls like this.

why are you guys complaining that you have to start all over on the online version, its better than going up against a guy with a hacked lvl 500 charzard or something

like my level 100 999 in all stats charizard named 'TestZard'

Sure, it may be better, but it doesn't negate the fact that I've already put a fair amount of time into the game. It's very frustrating to have to abandon it all like this if I wanna get rid of the cheaters, especially for someone like me, who hates losing progress and saves every game obsessively. Luckily, not many people are like me, at least I hope.

I get it, I am upset too.
Anyways, I spent almost 150 hours on this game, playing, leveling, evolving, breeding, whatever. To lose aaaaall that is painful. But I am not going to feel bad. I just look at it like a fresh start and this time, without cheaters and what other problems they managed to fix. For a more enjoyable gameplay and everything, I'd be almost be happy with abandoning my save in which I spent a lot of time.

There're no reasons to be rude about it. (Not talking to you in specific, just people in general. )

I guess the main reason I'm feeling frustrated about this is that I had some difficulties against the Cianwood Gym Leader. My Noctowl kept getting knocked out after two turns against his Primeape, until I finally got lucky and hit him with Hypnosis and even then the leader kept using Hyper Potions over and over again and Peck just wasn't powerful enough. I didn't wanna train up another bird Pokémon, so I ended up grinding my Noctowl to lvl 30-something, decided to count the Primeape's HP so I could try to crit him and defeat him fast enough so that he wouldn't be healed by Hyper Potions... Yeah, having to do that again is gonna be a pain. Also, that damn Farfetch'd puzzle... Oh lord, the pain. 'Twas so easy back in the day, the fancy 3D gfx made it so much more complicated xD
Besides, who knows how many times I'll have to do these things again. You convinced me this is possibly one of the last wipes, so I'm trying to be more positive about it. At least now I know what to expect, haha
