    Pre-Context
    So a lot of people make suggestions every day and that is great , but whats not so great is a lot of them are unrealistic , not well thought out or straight out come from the pixelmon mod ( Pokefind is plugin based and not a mod). However I've come to combat that.

    1) Is it already in game ?
    >If you are a low level player , wait before suggesting something especially if you are unsure of certain features

    > Double check to see if its in game by asking other members

    2) Is it realistic?
    > Remember Pokefind is plugin based , certain things can only be done through mods.
    > Not everything can be measured , certain things cannot be measured in minecraft so if you have an idea that requires a certain measurement like "have 20 dragon types in your pc" chances are its not gonna be implemented.

    3) Suggesting ideas from Original games and Pokemon go
    > Remember Pokefind isn't a perfect mix of all Pokemon games , it tries to unique and has certain restrictions being in minecraft.
    >Suggesting ideas straight from the games isn't the best idea, try to twist it to suit the current game so that it fits in nicely


    4) Does it fit in with Pokefinds business model?
    > At the end of the day if its going to loose pokefind money its never going to be implemented and rightfully so , although pokefind is open to many suggestions saying things like "make all legends spawn in the wild" is simply a poor suggestion.
    >Pokefind either sells you an item or you have to work really hard to get it , so suggesting things to be easier to acquire defeats the whole purpose of working hard.

    5) Suggesting things from Pixelmon
    > Dont get confused these two games are very different.
    >Pixelmon is a mod and although it has some amazing features a lot cant be added to pokefind due to the fact that mods are more versatile compared to plugins.
    >Remeber a lot of things pixelmon does a lot of things differently to pokefind due to pokefinds business model.
    > survival world , firstly the way the pokemon are implemented in game means that a lot of features like diamond tools cannot be used. A pokefind survival world wouldn't work for a lot of reasons but you can learn how that works in your own time.

    This guide was created to ensure that the community can provide better , realistic and smart ideas. Not enough community ideas become a thing due to people not thinking about pokefind itself but rather on ideas they know will benefit themselves.

    Or you could just make a forum post, and suggest a suggestion rather than doing blah blah blah and wasting your time reading this. You're actually telling people how to suggest things, what even...

    I truly enjoy reading people's amazing ideas but some of them are so bad you hope that they are too young to truly understand the capabilities of minecraft and business models

    Your missing the key point, this is just a helpful guide, not the rules. And I think it was a good idea, the amount of people suggesting something that already exists or is not possible nor beneficial to the pokefind serve.

    He's giving tips on how to make a detailed suggestion making it more likely to be implemented. No need to be rude towards someone who actually made a good post and just wants to help out :confused:
