New Token System Updated

Hey guys, sorry I haven’t been keeping up with new things on the stream here. I’ve been busy closing up Ask-TwitchPKMN8+ to prepare for Season 2 on May 10th, updating my deviantart to where I can finally update my Twitch Plays Pokemon picture/sprites/comics, and I’ve mostly been having a good time on Pokemon Battle Revolution betting. Speaking of PBR, let’s get to the topic of this post about the newly updated Token System.

Changes To The System

For those who haven’t been keeping up with PBR since Anniversary Red’s end, donation matches have been closed down in place for a new Token System. The previous post I’ve made will tell you how all token matches worked. The NEW token system works just like that, but only with a certain big change.

You can NO LONGER place Token matches any time you wanted in a fashion like donation matches in the chat. Now there’s a special time just for the occasion. Before we get on to that though, I feel like I should cover a few new things to PBR before we really could get into it. That way we’re all on the same page and we won’t be asking around the chat 80 times before finally getting an answer. Trust me, I hate that too.

So if you’re looking into the Token match segment only, feel free to scroll down. If you want to know a few more new changes to PBR, keep reading~

Pokemon Battle Revolution Overall Changes

I don’t know when this new system was applied. I’m going to take my biggest guess and say this was updated no more than 2 weeks ago (It could be more). As you can see here, the Leaderboards that usually come up every hour has now been completely removed. Instead, it is now combined with the V.Crystal segments on the left side of the screen. From what it looks like, it will only update the rankings of only those who bet and are top of the numbers list. You’ll see what I mean when you see it.

From now on, the following will happen when the hourly match is finished:

- V.Crystal inputting

- Who’s that pokemon/ad commercial segment

- V.Crystal inputting (again)

- Token Match Time!

Other recent changes includes moveset/nature changes and Arceus forms! This brings a whole new set of strategy, skill, and luck on the table as there’s A LOT more chances the underdog teams can win now. Arceus matches happen on some occasions when it feels like it. From what I seen, you can’t place a token match for the Arceus forms yet.

I’ve also been hearing rumors also that more pokemon forms & shinies will make an appearance after Touhoumon X Moemon? This is coming from the chat though, so we don’t really know until Revo announces it.

Introducing “Token Match Time!”

Alright, lets finally get on to the heart of this post: The new Token System

With the old token system having matches pile up rapidly like a waiting room, streamer put up a new one in it’s place to fix that. After the 2nd V.Crystal input session after “Who’s that Pokemon”, inputters can now bid against each other on what will the next match be using their tokens. You’ll have only about 2 minutes to out bid your opponent, and if unchanged, your match will be played after the segment is over! It goes without saying too that this new system was made to prevent often “cancer matches” where it stalls for over 20 minutes.

How Do I Bid Tokens & Create Matches?

I did a little experiment to make sure myself so nothing goes wrong when it comes to match order. So here’s what I came out with.

!match (1st mon),(2nd mon),(3rd mon)/(1st mon),(2nd mon),(3rd mon) (Tok.)

The place of the pokemon is what order they will be in a match on both sides of the team. Tok. equal the number of tokens you want to bid.

Token Match Example

I want to have this particular match happen: Minun, Marill, Azumaril vs Flareon, Bidoof, Bibarel (A.K.A C3′ family vs Solareon’s Family). I place their dex numbers by the set up I’ve just explained and add the number of tokens I want to bid next to that said match.

The Result:

!match 312,183,184/136,399,400 7

7 representing how many tokens I have bid for that match to happen. That would mean you need to have 8 tokens to out bid me.

Finally, Do Be Careful

Just because you’ve set up the order don’t mean you should bet big right away start of the betting process. Looks can be deceiving. By that I mean…..

Both team switch sides…. So make sure you always double check before you end up falling for your own traps.

Simple Stuff Before Ending This Post

How do I check my Tokens?

!tokens

How do I earn more Tokens?

You can earn more tokens in 3 ways:

OPTION 1 (Donations):



I believe gaining tokens by donations are still unchanged. For every dollar you donate, you gain 1 free token respectively. $300.00 = 300 Tokens!

I think…. I’m still basing this from streamer’s statement:

“Twitchplayspokemon: $1 donation = 1 token, also applied retroactively”

OPTIONS 2 (V.Crystal Inputs):

If you don’t want to donate for tokens or unable to, you can win one by inputting in the V.Crystal segments. A random raffle will happen each time the timer hits zero and will select a winner. The winner of the raffle will receive a token! On rare occasions, the raffle goes berserk and give tokens to multiple people at once. So don’t miss out on that chance when it happens.

OPTION 3 (Subscribe To The Stream):



Special thanks to Leonys2 for the info. When you subscribe to Twitchplayspokemon, you will receive 5 tokens as a thank you gift. You will also receive a bonus token for every month you re-subscribe to the channel.

What if someone outbids me? Do I lose my tokens?

No. The only time you will lose your tokens is when your match wins.
