[SOLVED] Pokemon Hubs

Also, to solve the multiple game problem, how about having the option to add more than one code to a game in case we have multiple cards? There would be some abuses, but it's a suggestion. When joining, you choose which FC to display. However, to know which FC is which game, Users can add a note to the side of it, which only the user can see.

Hmm, that sounds like a pretty good idea.

We used to have one, but people asked for a hub for each game so they could input their friendcode if they owned more than one of the games. I have a giant message above the Pokemon Forums which says the following:

Pokémon Hubs

When creating a hub, choose the "Pokémon Diamond/Pearl/Platinum" hub to get more players. If you have separate friendcodes for Pearl and/or Platinum, you can add these friendcodes separately in your User CP, which will then display in your profile and your "My Friendcodes" button below your posts.

You can actually create a separate hub for Pokémon Pearl and Platinum, but they won't display above the forums, so you may get less players.

The separate hubs are necessary if you want to have separate friendcodes. That's how the hubs function.

Not to argue with you, but when was the last time you saw a Pokemon Pearl hub actively displayed on the home page?

On the other hand, I only have Diamond, but I have Pearl and Platinum registered with the Diamond code. Just in case I want to join a Pearl/Platinum hub. But I only see-if anything-one or two Platinum hubs a day. I have never, since Pearl was added, ever seen a Pearl hub open on the main page. At least consider Pearl. No one bothers to actually use it.

I would say friendcodes, should do so.

Bartman, the point of adding them was to allow people to add friendcodes for Pearl and Platinum. They weren't added for the purpose of having a hub available for those two in addition to Diamond, which is why I made that large notice above the Pokemon forums telling members to use the Diamond hub, not the Pearl and Platinum hub.

It's also why the Diamond hub is called Diamond/Pearl/Platinum - so members are more inclined to use that hub for Pokemon WiFi.

Edit - to make it even more clear, hubs have to be added in order for a friendcode to be added for that game. You can't allow people to have a friendcode for a game that doesn't have a hub. It's not currently possible with the hub/friendcode system.
