None of my characters are breeders (and even if they breed pokemon it would be like one or two to give to friends to assist them with good Pokemon, such as if Raz got people from his canon he would try and get them a Ralts egg because they're good psychics, and Machi will eventually have a weird Pokemon family which might sometimes breed an egg and he'll give it out to a fitting family), but a cap sounds more then reasonable for me, per-Pokemon and rarity-based.
Speaking from experience, it's hard to think of reasons for my characters to not just buy eggs instead of hunting out the rare Pokemon, so this would be a very welcome change. (Of course, I found a way around that for Raz (too many pokemans) and Machi (same he only catches now if his pokemon really want it), but not Scott.)
Now, this next bit is just my opinion and it's only semi-related, but I have to let it out here because it's about breeders and their egg-making, as well as other job-related stuff. Yes, the line between breeder and trainer HAS blurred and it needs to be changed. But from Word of Mods and the like (unless I've read wrong then you can hit me and ignore this), if trainers start getting less eggs and get nerfed as breeders... breeders may either still challenge the gym challenge (http://these-balls.livejournal.com/2449.html?thread=4088465#t4088465) and/or they don't need the badges to use HM moves (http://these-balls.livejournal.com/2449.html?thread=3251089#t3251089), thus making them better trainers (even if trainers still need to get the HMs, breeders may still challenge the gyms too and well yeah). This may be an unpopular idea and I might get flamed into banning, but I think that trainers should get a boost to training Pokemon, if breeders get a boost to breeding Pokemon. Perhaps they can gain one more level then breeders, thus letting them at the max train their Pokemon up six levels a week instead of five? Yeah just my opinion.
But I must just say, it's wonderful that you're discussing this with the community, and getting their opinions. I really like seeing that.
...Also I'd prefer a tag myself, one less comm to watch.
OKAY THAT'S MY OPINION BYE FOREVER /hides from flames
