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!

... Excuse me? That was kind of really rude and uncalled for.

I'm speaking in general, because I don't want something for "rare" Pokemon to apply to ALL Pokemon, since it needs to and should be made clear - and yes, I have played the games, which is why I'm saying something. GSC, in particular, had some flat out shitty placing of Pokemon to make things "rare". Murkrow, for instance, was "rare" for no reason whatsoever except that the game designers made it that way, and if you want to come up with some excuse that it should be, that's your perogative. I'm saying, instead of doing that, we can fix what was quite obviously broken. Obviously a Cubone isn't going to be wandering around in the wild grass or the ocean or on the beach, but I wasn't even talking about that.

Furthermore, version exclusives? That's a marketing thing-slash-to get people to trade, and when you consider those Pokemon aren't even that rare? Or you could just trade or breed for it? Get the other game? We aren't playing the Pokemon game, we're playing something based off it, and, like I said before, there's no reason whatsoever to make things harder than they need to be. Not only that, there's not another route_29 to go to to catch the other version's worth of things. There's one, and we need to make allowances for that.

And yeah. With the things that are rare and make sense being rare? I... see no problems, and I said that from the start.
