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 agree with this completely and one thing I'd like to contribute is the idea of more jobs for the characters to do. Given that the common thing we are all told, ICly and OOCly is that than pretty much only become Trainers or Breeders. Which is probably why it got blurred so easily! But why not introduce a few things that the later games have? Gen III introduced Coordinators and the spin-off game Pokemon Ranger introduced the Rangers, which turns out to be more than the trainer class.

It'll give the characters more options, really. Not to mention, how about the option to completely settled down in Johto? Open a shop? Pick a city to live and get a day job? I'm not saying these weren't options before but it seems to be like the characters don't know any better since Professor Oak basically tells then GO FORTH INTO THE WORLD AND BECOME MASTERS! Y'know? Not that the characters wouldn't be smart enough to get a 9-5 job and settle down somewhere, but I've hardly seen anyone actually do this either.

Johto is an entirely different world and the anime, the spin-off games, and the normal games show that it's a functional world with people who aren't trainers and breeders. If they all were, it'd be utter chaos!

So, just my two cents here as well <3
