regarding Starters and Baby-Making

Three things:

1) SO WE HERD U WANTED SOME OLD STARTERS.

There are now 140.

In addition, because Larvitar are pseudo-Legendary pokémon, they've been given a cap of 10. We've never actually had ten as starters so this should be alright.


2) We've also added the bugs from the swarm-plot to the Availability List, as well as the two found at the Ruins of Alph. You no longer need to contact us about what to find there! We've linked what's there and probably someday maybe we'll find a better way to add it there but until then have that link.

3) PEOPLE WHO BREED, GET OVER HERE!

Two things:
1) Would you all prefer a breeders-specific community in order to keep free eggs and whatnot in order instead of using the OOC community? If so, any ideas for a name or would you like one of us to think of something?

and 2) We've heard from numerous people that there's an excess of eggs. Because of this, it will be capped. Although, we don't want to cap it too high or too low, so I had a question for you guys: How much do you think is too much? This can be in terms of too many eggs per pokémon, per week, from pokémon each week? etc. Anything you can think of, go ahead and list, and feel free to discuss amongst each other as well!

RE: Breeding/Eggs

1) I believe an egg/breeder community will, as stated above, end up being treated on the same level as slowpoke_gif and end up being neglected. Having things separate does end up being more efficient than everything thrown into one Miscellaneous category, but in this case Route_006, as a game-related OOC announcement community, seems good enough. To be completely honest, I'd rather be able to find all of the "Hey game this is what I'm up to and it's relevant to everyone" things on one community than have it broken down into so many different places, and it seems unnecessary and in some ways redundant.

As an alternative, I'd like to suggest having an breeding/egg tag available for usage on Route_006.

I think the main argument for advocating an egg community is that it's hard to swim through the intros/hiatus/drop posts to find each egg post, but if there was a specific tag available to categorize such posts on the OOC comm, I believe that problem could be solved easily.
