regarding Starters and Baby-Making

[these_balls]

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!

Or, to add to your little edit there, have the rarity or chance of more Houndour eggs diminished. Like maybe out of those eight eggs, have three Houndour and five Rattata. I'm sure people already employ an idea like that when they make eggs posts, but the fact that rarities are just as common as the Rattata defeats the purpose.

So something like, just as a template:
Common x Common = Common
Common x Uncommon = 50% Common, 50% Uncommon
Common x Rare = 70% Common, 30% Rare
Common x HARD MODE Rare = 90% Common, 10% HARD MODE Rare

I should clarify: when I said 'a clutch is up to eight eggs,' I just meant that no one Pokémon can produce more than eight eggs in a go. Hence, only eight of those thirty could be Houndour.

But I like the idea of employing rarities as a method of cutting back on the eggs/species that should ostensibly be less common. It's a bit more complex, but more efficient, I think.
