I cannot tell the difference between the site feedback forum and suggestions and ideas forum, so sorry if this is in the wrong place.

I would like to see the training page improved. I'm training all of my pets so they can move up in jobs, but choosing a stat to train and clicking train, then waiting for the page to refresh to go to the next pet is a bit tedious, as is clicking "TidalWave" is done, in order to train again.

I would like to see a way to choose a stat to train for each pet without page refreshes and then have one universal "train my pets" button. Then when training is done, a notice at the top of the page reveals the stat changes for all the pets at once (like when you see an achievement pop up at the top) and all of the training options (for pets that are done) are automatically reset and ready to go again.

I hope this makes sense and if there is an easier way that I just didn't know about, I'm sure someone will tell me. lol Thank you! :)

This, 100%. I only train 5 pets. My other pets are never going to be trained for battling or job purposes.

I'd like to be able to designate which pets are going to be trained, so that only they appear at the training center. Thus, reducing the amount of content that has to load otherwise.

This seems more like a suggestion than feedback, but whatever. My issue is that this is one more thing where players are wanting the site to be played for them instead of doing it themselves.

I don't agree with it and think it's fine as is, especially since it's one of the few remaining aspects of the site where you have to push more than one button for something to happen.

This probably should have been in Suggestions :) Feedback is more for giving your opinion on features Subeta already has. Suggestions is for things you'd like to see changed or added.

I do agree with everything you've suggested but that last bit though. I only have three pets I'm training but I would get so annoyed having a pop-up like that at the top of each page. Hell I'd rather nothing change if that was going to be the case. I would hate to imagine what it would look like for people with 10+ pets in training.

I select the type of stat for each pet to train, then press the buttons in quick succession, and set the alert on the final pet in that time bracket. I order my pets by training time.

I don't think there is anything wrong with the suggestion. There are a lot of changes that have been made to make aspects of the site more efficient. I would still have make the effort to train the pets. That doesn't change. I'm training 11 pets, so each time I choose a stat to train, it takes me to a status page and I have to go back to the training page to train the next pet- that's 22 refreshes, and I believe another 22 times to click done for all the pets and also return back to the page. I cannot remember if clicking done takes me back to the training page or a status page. Either way, that's about 33-44 times a page refreshes each round of training. It's not laziness that I am suggesting it, just a suggestion (not a complaint) for efficiency that might make training a bit more "enjoyable".

Plus, imagine the sP sink if we all started training all our 40+ pets each day...

I don't know anything about coding. I agree an achievement-type pop-up could be annoying with tons of pets. Maybe it could show up at the bottom of the training page if people want assurance the training was successful/the pet did increase in stat(s). I don't think? there is an advantage to the change that would negatively affect how the site runs, as it does not change the amount of time it takes to train the pet(s) and an effort does still need to be made to go and train and spend SP and/or CSC. , I never thought about the SP sink if it made more people want to train. Good point. :)

Honestly, most people don't train a ton of pets at once. If they do start, they don't usually stick with it. From your own pet stats, it's apparent that you've only just very recently started training your pets. I'd be curious to know how many people are actually long term trainers of large quantities of pets.

If you stick with training it gets very expensive. It's an sP sink regardless of whether or not anything changes. The average player can't afford to train more than one or two pets to be an actual contender against worthwhile opponents.

I expected at least one person to comment on my pets' stats, as if it somehow made my suggestion good or bad based on my own use. If my pets had high stats, then one could say that obviously the training process couldn't have bothered me too much, but since they are lower then obviously I don't care about training much. One could discount my opinion whether my pets had high stats or low stats.

I didn't read the replies so forgive me if this has been mentioned, but I think staff has said that a single "train all" button wouldn't work because of the difference in training times if you don't start training all your pets together (and even then, some will get luckier with stats than others and might move up a tier earlier than the rest).

But being able to choose which pets show up would be lovely, even if I don't actually train anymore.

I really wish you could select a pet to show up or order which pets show up first, by weak/strong or something. I know that a 'train all' button would not work because of the differences in training times (I'm not even sure what the mechanic there is or even why it's a different time rather than a flat time. Can someone explain? Does it have to be this way? I feel it discourages higher level training), but if it were possible I'd 110% use it, even if it was expensive.

The train all button does not refer to literally just training all pets. My idea was to be able to use the dropdown for each pet that is ready to train (default setting would be blank, not strength) and choose the stat you want to train for each, and then click the "train all" so all pets with a stat chosen will start training instead of having to click on train for each pet, go to a confirmation page, then go back and do the next page. Though that would eliminate the "alert" link given for each pet on the confirmation page, I guess there could be a checkbox on the training page in the same area as the dropdown for an alert to be given like it is now for each pet when they are done.

Right, but the way I understand staff's comments, that sort of thing wouldn't work as smoothly in practice as it does in theory. I could be wrong, and if so then sure, they can put in some sort of "train all" button, but if it can't be done then it can't be done /shrugs

It doesn't affect me either way so I really don't care. But I will always get behind choosing which pets show up on the training page, even though I stopped training.

I have not seen the explanation for not being able to do it. Not sure how to find it. I just feel like maybe my original explanation was misunderstood. Like all I had to do was go to training page, click "train all" and that's all that had to be done. I'm basically just suggesting a way to get rid of the confirmation page for each action, and finish button and train button for each pet and mainstream it a bit more. But maybe that exact suggestion has been made and rejected by staff already. Thanks though. :)

Your name looks very familiar... lol

Here is a thread that even mentions your suggestion in the OP, one of the first posts is someone mentioning that similar ideas have been shot down by staff. Though staff didn't weigh in aside from one post by [edit] I'm a legendary pokemon (and also on the forums 24/7 so really either one of those could be why you recogize me lmao)

I don't know Pokemon so that isn't it. lol I started shortly after you did. I started the same time as group from Neo but not sure if you were one of them, or just a coincidence on the timing. Thank you, I'll take a look at that link. :)

[edit]

I can see by the comments a lot of people got the same wrong idea about the suggestion of making training easier. Like implying pets will somehow train faster or there would be some advantage when I'm saying the same as DreamsInPink, basically about decreasing buttons and links. There's no advantage, just makes it less tedious. It's not mass training like paying csc + sp where pets get many stat increases. The time it would take to train the pet would be the same. Oh well. At least it's been suggested before and I'm not the only one that thinks it would be nice to make the process smoother.

A friend suggested subeta to me, I definitely wasn't in a specific group from neo or anything. The thread is hella old, fyi just so you don't post on it in case you're not looking at the date :P

haha thanks, I didn't post, though nor did I look at the date so thanks for the warning. lol Ok well I guess there is no connection then, sorry. lol I don't keep in touch with the group I came over with last time. Originally (like 6 yrs ago) I was recommended to this site by a girl I thought had your UN but her account with have been much older and her name was different. I have no clue what it was.

From a programmer's perspective, I think this would be entirely possible with flash. It doesn't need to change much from how it is really, just instead of taking you to a new page, the buttons could switch over to what they need to be while remaining on the same page.

Also, 'train all pets' could be an option made similar to how the one at the resort works for checking in all of your pets!

You already have the code for this, really. :O
