Title: Daycare/Breeding
Post by: Flashy on December 30, 2009, 07:33:21 AM
I think a daycare system would be pretty awesome. Give your pokemon to a guy to level and pay a fee when you get the pokemon back.

Breeding two pokemon would also be great to be able to get a certain form, move, etc.

hasn't this been done before? yeah, im pretty sure i've seen a daycare system as early as in....oh what was it called now?.....oh yeah, red and blue version!

due to the fact that this is text, please be aware, that while this was meant to be sarcastic, it is in no way meant to be insulting; i am merely making a joke.

for reference sake, i too would like a dare care system, and i think what your trying to get at is that the day care would be the only way to obtain specific species and such.... this i think is an excellent idea

I think that is a really good idea.

I think this is a bad idea in a Pokemon online game.
One fact is that you have to be better than other people, so you should train your pokemon yourself and not let the pokemon get better automatically.

Well, maybe we can set some rules for daycare like:
- Only 1 Pokemon at the time (for a maximum amount of time)
- The Pokemon only gain levels (it will not learn any new attack)
- It's IV/EV stats and happiness will go down.

Yeah, these rules would make it better. But high-leveled pokemon should get less ep than weak pokemon

Or you can only bring Pokémon with a low level to the daycare?

You can make it so if you keep a pokemon in the daycare too long, it will not listen to attack. Similar to how they do it in the real pokemon games. You must keep training the pokemon and feed it berries to like you again :D

I had two other ideas.

Theres a limit, for example pokemon with level 25+ cannot be given to it.
Or every pokemon can just be trained 10 levels. Or maybe with another amount.
But the second idea wouldn't be good for weak pokemon...

However, if they're higher than 25, then you couldn't breed. So, that's not a good option to have.

Maybe, the pokemon could still stay if they were level 25+ for breeding purposes, but they just wouldn't level up past level 25.

That could work. xD

Sure but what's the point in having them there, it'll only cost you money..

Daycare for an MMORPG = Fail  :) That really doesn't have any sense.
A Breeding Centre only, would be better.
You give your Pokemon and an amount of money (different for each Pokemon? [Like rare Pokemon will cost more]) and you will have to come back after X day's.
It need to be an expensive service, otherwise it would be easy to make lot's of Pokébaby's from a rare/hard-to-get Pokemon and sell/trade it with other trainers.  :-X

i agree with the daycare to gain levels being a bad idea in general, but the breeding does sound very nice. you could make it so only a few select pokemon could be left a the breeding center. that way you do not have a large accumulation of rare pokemon in the game.

Rather than expensive, eggs should just take a long time. Perhaps several days or even a week. I mean... in the games, you can get an egg every ~2 mins, which is just a little unrealistic.

Now I know every breeder will hate me for making it hard to get a large number of eggs and choose the best, so perhaps the breeding system can be altered along the lines of inheritence of 4 IVs coming from random parents and the final 2 being independent. Another possibility is that every time eggs are laid, there is more than one, perhaps 3-6. This way you will have to wait between generations but still have variety to choose from. Yet another possible idea is to require a pokemon to be a certain age or level before it can breed.

Note that modifying the breeding system is low priority, and definitely won't be in any of the betas.

or maybe the higher level the pokemon, the higher chance of getting an egg

thats right....experience ;)

I second this. The 2 parent's level could be averaged and the chance of getting an egg will be once ever 30 minutes. Cuz you still need epic eggs moves.

there could be a limit on the number of times a pokemon can breed ~ akin to child-bearing age. one the limit is reached you have to catch another pokemon of the type you wish to breed (or raise the egg to the minimum breeding lvl).

I think you should be able to breed your pokemon yourself.But only if you've gotten a certain gym badge.Because think about the TV show for a second Brock wanted to be a breeder ,and he had to train before he could be one ,so I think at some point in the game you should be able to breed your pokemon yourself.You could have a system like the fire water leaf etc. stones.
Example.  pokemon        level      able/not able
             charmeleon        26               able
 
              Flygon               53            not able

               
              charmeleon        27              able


              piplup                 14           not able

See it could work just as long as you,

A. Have two of the some pokemon n the same evolution (no charmeleon,with a charzard)
B. Have room in your party for the new pokemon.
C.Have the right gym badge.

according to the pokemon anime and video games, we do not need to worry about some cross species relationships, some are okay, they do not need to be the exact same pokemon. gold and silver are probably the best example for this; when you looked at your team they have a little sprite beside them for the type of pokemon group they fit into (not the element type), any other pokemon that shares that sprite can breed with them

man i never did the whole breeding thing in the games before cuz i never battled anyone but the NPC's, now I kind of wish i had checked it out, cuz it'll be useful against other MMO breeders that know what they're doing :S

Don't worry about it. Breeding will not be implemented somewhere soon.

yeah i would rather the team just work on the game and get it done and then extra features to the game could be added later on
