I agreed mining should be just like laboratory you have chance on getting items to exchange it on coins or any non released equip items

If we were to do this, it would have to take a very long time to find anything when you're mining, otherwise people could just sell multiple "rare" items for high amounts of coins just because they have more time to play the game.

i think,there should be mining items to be sold before you can mine,for example,a pick is equal to 10 m cash and 100 coins,then a drill is equal to 15 m cash and 500 coins and a big drilling machine equal to 25 m cash and 2500 coins,that's just an idea for the feature,hehehe

Excellent idea

umm you know if you mine you can accumulate mining points, 2 or 3 points per mine. these mining points when u accumulate till 1000, you can get a normal pokemon of your choice, 10k and u can get a shiny poke from the list and 100k for a 1k rated colored poke. wotsay :)

I'm gonna LOVE this idea!1000/10
Maybe we could have it like Rojuro said...
Mine for jewel shards and when you've got enough, you can piece them together to create a jewel/orb/pendant(or some kind of jewelry) and sell for a small amt of coins. However, players should not be able to mine coins OR points OR pokemon,yes, not even normal pokemon( if we can find them there,what's the use of maps?)

hmm Da Man i have played Over 235 Rpgs According to all my Experince i will say that there should not be the way to get coins like this players will earn upto 10k coins a day mine.i will say that we should not get leftover.as people do 300 bill training for them!i will only give this suggestion
we should get Normal Items Like:yellow rock,red rock.
then after getting that there should be the way exchange center in which you should go and give you rocks you found.then they will give you a good item or pokemon (not Coloured)but some rares.or powerfull a random one.I will SAY At Last.
Best Of Luck For Your Exams
