Good read. Even though this is off-topic, a little?

But I'd add breaks in the paragraphs. I ended up reading like four sentence over again.

But good stuff over all.

Welcome to the Pokemon Universe Community.

Have fun, and be smart.

Having guild bonuses my be neat. But what do you mean? Might need to elaborate that a bit. Lets talk about the first profession first.

The Researcher:
Guild Benefit
Trainer Benefit

Not sure on the guild thing, probably need to think about that a bit.

I was still thinking along the lines of a slight increase in the capture rate for the crafted Pokeball's done by a Researcher. Maybe they have the ability to create a Pokeball at a higher quality. And the higher you get in level, as a researcher, you get a higher percentage at making better quality Pokeballs. You'd have four levels of quality. Okay, Good, Great, and Perfect. At first, as a researcher, your Pokeball crafting skill wont be that effective, obviously. So any ball made on an Okay quality would actually get -1% to that balls already set capture rate. Good would obtain +1%. Great would obtain +2%or+1.5%. Perfect would obtain +3%or+2%. The better the ball, the higher these are to hit to gaining these bonuses on said balls.

Still an idea, but just focusing on one Profession at a time.

These items mine or made should be sold to npc's or in stores.
If they are sold to in auctions then they should receive levels that affect the item's efficiency like if you are a high level researcher that makes a normal Pokeball the Pokeball should have a catch rate potential that varies from level to level of the Pokemon.

Example-
Player 01
Job- Researcher
Researcher Level 20
Pokeball Type-
Normal-                                      Great-
Efficiency on-                              Efficiency on-
Level 1~10- 35%                        Level 1~10- 50%
Level 11~20- 20%                      Level 11~20- 45%


^Something along those lines.
I just think it would balance the game more if Players actually had a reason to sell a self made Normal Pokeball for $500 in an auction because it is efficient and not just cause they want money. No one will want to buy a auction ball that they can buy for less in Market.

That's very interesting. I can't believe an idea like that has crossed my mine. I wouldn't make it a 5% increase; Maybe 1% increase on efficiency per 10 Profession levels. This could also apply to the other professions as well.

Researcher - 1% Efficiency per 10 Profession Levels.
Scientist -  +1 on all stat adding effects, per 20 Profession Levels.
Doctor - +5 on all healing effects, per 10 Profession Levels.
Artisan - 1% more effecient on Held Iteam, per 10 Profession Levels.
Chef - +5 on all healing effects, per 10 Profession Levels.

In the gathering Professions, they'd get a boost in finding more rare items/objects while gathering per 10 Profession Levels.

Thanks Reafer, nice addition.

I really liked this, well done bringing the concept that's been flowing around here for a while and actually putting it together. About the collecting professions, I think there should be a special item the player needs to collect said things, like a pick axe, sickle, etc. and the item could break at one point, requiring either a new one or the raw materials to fix it. I bring this up as a suggestion to what normal raw materials could be used for as well.

Every Profession will have a item/tool they use to craft the ingredients for the recipe they have obtained. Not sure if they should be breakable, but it is an interesting point. It should definitively be spoken about. Maybe something more along the lines of crafting tool/harvesting tool upgrade.

Cooper Pick Axe, Iron Pick Axe, etc.

NOTE: THIS IS NOT AN OFFICAL PROFESSIONS THREAD, SO DON'T THINK THIS WILL EVER BE IN THE GAME.

There will be other types of Apricorns then the ones in the Pokemon Games. A Researcher would also obtain the other parts to craft Pokeball's through Excavators.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I am still putting this together, but thought I'd let everyone take a look an try to add their own thing; or question the things that are already up here. This is just a suggestion, and I wanted to see how the community felt about it. A lot of items will need to be made, which isn't a problem in the art department, in order for this to work properly. There will be quest for particular recipes for each Profession, as well as, Profession Levels to obtain particular said recipes. I have not written anything about the Collecting Professions, other than the side notes.

If you have any ideas on professions, preferably, the Collecting Professions. That'd be great. Thanks, and enjoy.

Welcome to the Pokemon Universe Community.

Giant Pokemon would be cool to add to the game for boss battles, with Pokemon of course.

I haven't really read much of the manga. I did watch like the first six episodes when it came out.
