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!

But, oh man I keep reiterating this, I really feel like the limit should go down depending on the rarity of a pokemon.

And, really, it won't cut down on flist spam, since one way or another you're going to watch it. It's like putting intros on a new comm--one way or another, people are going to see it. It'll just be under a different comm. And if people just don't friend it, it kind of takes away the point of breeding, because no one's going to see it. Maybe moving egg posts to the spam comm might be a better idea than OOC, but adding another comm might just kind of. Make TOO MANY COMMSSSSSS. We're not really a comm-based game, or I could see setting up another one. It really is all journal based.

Like I said in my first comment, it just makes sense. There has to be a reason they're so rare in the wild. And aside from climate issues, I think breeding issues would be a logical reason. Like... pandas are rare because they don't have a lot of babies! Chickens do.
