Wouldn't people love getting all their dust back once, like all the dust they spent as of yet, I'm not sure if it's even possible but all the pokemon that got invested in and got nerfed, all that dust alone would be great to get back, and the candy too ofc, so the mons would be sent to their original level and you allready know which ones you want to power up right? So even mistakes you made as a noob player are not set in stone as they are now!
I don't know if level 40+ players will enjoy spending so much time powering up all their mons though lol
This wouldn't be fair to people who played conservatively and saved their dust/candies instead of dumping it on anything just to sit in a gym.
I wouldn't want this to happen even though I have 2 maxed Lapras which has been mostly on the sidelines.
I assume if they made it 1 Pokemon max per year or something, maybe that would be ok so dust wasters won't get everything back, but my guess is any data you spent on dust is long gone and they won't be able to retrieve it.
The introduction of re-rolling will eliminate the need to "hold off" all together because players will no longer be overly concerned about uncertainty.
I personally find this "holding off" aspect of the game unhealthy because it makes risk-adverse players hesitate to power up Pokemon despite having adequate resources. This makes the game stagnant in a sense and doesn't even make financial sense for Niantic. This is a Pokemon game not a stock market simulator game. Players shouldn't be given too much of an incentive for "holding off" but should instead be encouraged to power up Pokemon as soon as they have enough resources.
However, I do feel that TMs or re-rolling must only be rewarded in exchange for effort. For example, a re-roll should perhaps cost as much dust / candies as fully evolving a new Pokemon.
I agree that using even 125 candies to reroll moves is probably worth it in many cases since at times, it's hard to find a high IV candidate to evolve. I never got a decent Machop since playing till maybe a month ago from a hatch (still not evolved yet due to "Save your candies!") so if you ended up with the steel moves, it's not useful at all against Blissey.
For Pokemon that don't evolve, maybe it can cost 50 candies or something. 50 Snorlax candies is still quite a bit.
I'd definitely do mons like Eevees and their evolutions since candy is plentiful, but maybe they can make everything min 100 even...25 is better for everyone of course. :)
I'm hoping it won't use stardust though.
I agree it shouldn't be that easy, maybe they can incorporate walking too or you need to battle 50 times or whatever...but some mons, like Dragonite/Snorlax/Tyranitar, it probably isn't an issue to walk since those are top candidates to walk anyways.
So even mistakes you made as a noob player are not set in stone as they are now!
No. Strictly no.
To spend dust (and candy) on a pokemon is a decision, and this decision has consequences: Dust is spend (away) and pokemon is bigger.
You know that moves can change, you know that you might find a better pokemon tomorrow. You make a risk-based decision and take full consequences. This feels right for me. Something, many kids and even many adults did not learn, but maybe a game helps them to.
With your idea, you would punish those who keep some dust.
