Sure there's Breeders who have it easy and go about it in a way that makes things go easily for them?
My one breeder character is a MUCH bigger headache in terms of his poke-class than my trainers. HE doesn't like working normal jobs, and he's specializing in something rare (dragons) which means it's taken almost a year for him to just get a roster, much less Breed... so he's usually mooching off his travel partner and has done basically nothing as a Breeder besides fuss over his very small team and be (questionable) moral support for a few people. He's been too broke to buy things for himself half the time until he finally broke down and got a job for a few weeks, and the only reason he's okay on HM's is ...that he's mooching off a Trainer travel partner.
Yep. Really too easy on Breeders if they get to breed for eggs of more of their roster than just the females. ~_~;;
I also couldn't see him with a Ditto, and I don't WANT to give him a Ditto just because "oh lol he's a breeder and I'd like to be able to maybe let people bargain for eggs of 'mon he only has a male for"; I LIKE having the 'mons be treated as living things with personalities, and the non-"dragons" he has are all there for specific plot reasons. As it stands now, Dittos aren't pokemon you get for plots or because your character wants a Ditto; I'm willing to bet most of the people out there with Dittos have them as something that never actually sees any usage in posts or plots or anything except as basically egg-makers and something on their roster to justify them having eggs for species they only have males of.
Also seriously, it seems like it's a pointless rule given that the main focus of Route in actual play is CR, plots, and all, which... the "female's species only" rule isn't actually adding anything to.
