Does anyone think they can explain to me how the medals work in this game? O_O
I mean... it
seems like what's happening is that the image represents what rank medal you
currently have for a certain category (if any), and then the fraction at the bottom represents how many things you currently have out of how many things you need to obtain the next rank up. For example, tapping the Kanto medal says "Registered 51 Pokemon in the pokedex", which makes sense, as that's currently how many different species I have. And I'm assuming that, once I get 100, I'll get the gold version of that medal.
And for
most things on this list, the explanation above still holds up. Granted, it's hard to actually
check many of these since there seems to be no other way of looking up these numbers, meaning I kind of have to go off of what sounds approximately right based off of memory to figure out what's going on, but, most of them sound about right.
The big thing that's throwing me off, though, is the Youngster medal, which, if my theory is correct, means that I've captured 4 Rattatas... and I've caught
way more than that. >_> Hell, I wouldn't be at all surprised if I've already caught more than 50 of them.
Soo... either that counter in particular is broken for some reason, or there's something I'm not understanding about how all this works. O_o
I admit I haven't always been paying close attention to those "you've just earned a medal" messages that come up when you do actually earn them, but, even when I
do at least read them, I certainly can't be expected to memorize them all... O_o The medal collection screen alone
should give me enough information to, at the very least, see which medals I've already earned and what I did in order to earn them, which is information I'm not getting... it only tells me what I have to do to get the next rank up,
I think. >_>
Ordinarily I like collecting achievements and things in games, and watching an achievement list fill up, but... the way these medals are done makes it kind of hard to do that. >_>
ALSO, I would love it if the game was not forever stuck thinking that I have only ever been able to catch a measly four Rattatas. O_O
Edit: And it's kind of sad that
that's the medal in particular that's broken, as it seems to be a reference to Youngster Joey, which is amusing. XD
*gasp* Maybe it's only counting all the
top percentile Rattatas that I've caught... O_O
Edit2: Just did a bit of searching online -- looks like the Youngster medal is buggy for everyone.
