For Star Wars fans, which most of us are in some form, I think the Watto character you've been using is pretty good.  I don't know if I have better recommendations, but for added ideas, maybe you could make it one of the Professors, and be more Pokémon-related?  ...Juniper's Shiny Jewels?  ...Oak's Pokemart?

 

Straight up though, when I hear the name "Princess Aurora," I think of someone benevolent in our community.  Maybe you just want to be yourself, and let others join "your Royal Court" for assistance or contributions?  Your motives seem solid, your help is consistent, and there's not much else that anyone can ask for.

 

Question II:
How do you think that we should operate?

 

Maybe I'm seeing it different (a bit cynical?), but it seems you've been providing cards too easily, without a fair return, for players who may not deserve the extra effort, or even a couple that have been flat-out greedy.  It's just too easy for someone to say, "I'm new, and building decks," and yet they always seem to want only the very best Meta cards.  As we all know, there's a big difference between Cynthia vs. Tierno, or Beast Ring vs. Switch.

 

Personally, I would not go with Pikachu boxes.  I've got a couple hundred that I can give you right now, if you want them for some reason.  But they don't add much value to Public trades, and I don't think you're going to want an endless supply.

 

It seems that a trade-in system would probably be fairest for everyone.  It would keep you stocked up, and avoid some of the "gimme free stuff" mentality.  It might be a bit harder to set up, but trading "like value" cards seems like the best way to go.
 

Question III:
If we were to bring in a section entirely dedicated to Pokémon, which kind of classification should we use?

 

Rarity (C, UC, R, UR, etc.) would make the most sense.  If you wanted further classification with "Areas," I'd probably stick with the major set types (HGSS, BW, XY, & SM) to help keep trades closer to "like value."
 

Question IV:
Do you have any suggestions or comments on our way of operating?

 

1) Suggestion:  Keep up the good work, but be kind to yourself in the process.

 

2) Comment:  Many of us are only a PM away if you need help and/or donations.

Question I:
If we were to use a fictional character to serve you, which of the following would you prefer?

 

As a Star Wars fan who hates the prequels with an undying passion I think the obvious choice is Ackmena, played by the lovely Bea Arthur. (If you don't know this charackter we can no longer be friends )

 

Another choice would be Jules Winnfield from Pulp Fiction, simply due an endless amount of quotes for people who couldn't be bothered to read the rules, or who simply have greedy requests beyond believe.

 

Question II:
How do you think that we should operate?

 

A mix between your old system and card trade in / trade outs.

For a complete beginner it will probably be difficult to even get a couple of trade-able cards and since all of us advise them not not open their spare packs this seems counter intuitive.

 

However, for players who either request only the top meta game staples a trade in of roughly equal value is only fair.

 

Question III:
If we were to bring in a section entirely dedicated to Pokémon, which kind of classification should we use?

 

Based that you are aiming for beginners I think a listing for types + rarity is the best.

A lot of times we see new players gravitate toward a certain type “look at my new dragon deck!” and thus a type listing is probably better than sticking to expansions (even though that could create some confusion in regards to playability in certain decks.

A pure listing based on rarity doesn't sound too appealing for beginners.

 

I guess the best (yet also the most time consuming) would be two separate sections for Standard and Expanded, divided in types and then into rarity (I hope there is a decent sorting algorithm for something like that^^).

 

Question IV:
Do you have any suggestions or comments on our way of operating? We would be glad to hear

 

I agree with a lot that Rob said. You should really consider turning down some of those outlandish requests and teach players a bit of modesty. When I pictured your idea I thought of a place where someone could get their final piece of the puzzle, rather than 50% of their entire deck.

 

I'd also suggest to add a section with all the important cards you can currently get in the theme decks. Sometimes new players might simply not be aware that they can easily buy their desired card for 500 coins.

 

Last but not least: Keep being awesome. Being too kind hearted can sometimes be a burden, but it's a welcoming sign to have someone with your passion in this community.

Question 1: I would choose Ash Ketchum from the TV Series or Red from the video games these would seem like good somewhat obvious choices to take into consideration eventually.

 

Question 2: I would say to operate as before, but only let people with accounts that are new to some sort of deadline receive items.

 

Question 3: Rarity would be best, especially since the whole point of this is to boost up the collections of newer players. It would be nice for them to know what is more rarer than what.

 

Question 4: I know this might be almost impossible, but maybe you should try to get a partner to help you.
