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!

I also saw your reply to the comment above mine, so I'll touch on that as well.

We can't have the perfect team. We just can't.
Says who? And by what definition and standards? If you travel or buy the right eggs, you should be able to. ANYONE should be able to. At the very least, a team to make them happy should be perfectly within reason. If you make it impossible to catch a certain Pokemon (which was what the Safari Zone and the like was for in the games) then... yeah, people WILL probably want to go back to breeding down the road. Why make it harder than it has to be?


Should be able to does not always lead to a certain scenario definitely happening. Everyone SHOULD be able to get the team they want, but reality strikes here. Things don't always work out the way we want them to, and that sounds realistic and reasonable to me.

I'll hit up this one first since it's a heck of a lot shorter, if that's cool.

Thing is, you're having things be exactly be like the games on one hand... but then pulling the reality card on this one. You really can't have it both ways. In the games, and even in Route as it is now, you could arguably get what a character considers a perfect team. I say "what a character considers" simply because Joe might have one ideal while Mary might have another altogether. In the games though? You could definitely get a perfect team, so if you want to strictly go by the games, which it sounds like you do, on a lot of levels at least, then a perfect team should be more than possible.

Seriously, what's going to stop them? Is someone going to shoot them if they try to catch, buy, or trade for that one Pokemon? That sounds pretty ridiculous if you ask me.
