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!

/Rangiku-Mun

To be honest, maybe we should cap how many eggs someone can receive each month? Instead of attacking the supply, maybe it'd be more reasonable to attack the demand

Or we can have IC delays of hatching eggs. I mean, Rangiku here has had her eggs for over a month and they still haven't hatched. I mean, most eggs take like 5,000 steps to hatch (rough estimation), that's little under a mile which doesn't take very long to travel.

If we lengthen egg hatching based on catching rate or something, (i,e catch rate = number of days x 2) it'd surely limit the number of eggs a person can get at one time. Just a suggestion.

Breeders work hard to get their money so attacking them seems a bit odd, and it'd hinder the purpose of breeders.Maybe we should attack it from other areas.

oh and also hhhhhh i hate lj for never making my periods work when it's at the end of a text comment.

Finally! I need to ask ... how does um, breeding work here??? do you need to go to a day care or ... do they randomly, ahem, produce the eggs on their own and you magically find them because you're arceus' blessed angel?

oh and also - if catch rate x 2 doesn't work then maybe we can try something else? Like egg cycles = number of days.

Of course, some pokemon like magikarp can either be kept at their current rate (6 days to hatch) or exponentially increase to make it 36 days.

oh god I am going to be lit on fire for these suggestions /)____(\ /crouches.

Just going to answer your breeding question since one of my dudes is pretty experienced with it.

So, you don't need to go to a daycare. All you need is two Pokemon that are the same egg group or one Pokemon with a Ditto. It can breed anywhere from inside your character's closet to outside. I don't believe anyone has actually watched their Pokemon actually go through the process of breeding the eggs because of it being major awkward, so normally, characters just find the eggs lying around their Pokemon or somewhere close. They normally then think that it's from their Pokemon.

I believe the day care in Route is only for dropping off the Pokemon you want to be raised in your time, along with releasing a few there, though you can release Pokemon anywhere. Though, one of my characters does have a breeding centre in Goldenrod for people to either purchase eggs or breed themselves if they don't have Dittos or places to sell their eggs, but it's not mandatory. He just has Ditto problems for that.

BUT YEAH I HOPE THIS ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION
