Well, since we're on the subject of breeding. Will we be able to breed any pokemon? Because one time it Ruby, I tried to breed my Sceptile or something. (I forget what it was.) And I put a ditto in there and it said that they didn't get along. And I was like "RAWR!!!!!"

but ditto is the ladies man

but ditto is the ladies man 

Unless the pokemon in the daycare is another boy, then Ditto is the man's ^@_&%.

The thing about they do not get along only means that they'll take more time to get an egg. That may be due to their natures.

That really has something to do with it? Seriously? I never knew that... I thought their Natures was only for Contests and those Pofin things.

[Jerry]

I personally never got the daycare man tell me that a pokemon was not getting along with my Ditto... my Ditto might have been a docile partner, lol

Acually narures are pretty important (they raise and lower one stat) read here:

But I think breeding has less to do with natures, but more with types, I allways check on my poketch if they are comatible (app 23 I think).

[Jerry]

Yes, that's with Platinum only.

With breeding, what I'm sure is about the egg group match up, but since Ditto matches with any group (except those that cannot have eggs), I can only think about the nature of the pokemon.

Oh, sorry, haven't played Diamond in a while...

[Pika]

Well, back to the original subject...
I thought this idea was great! If PU could include this and many other ideas, I think it could possibly be one of the best Pokemon games!

Heres my idea:
What if you had different types of nests, I.e. burrows, bird's nests, hollows, tunnels, etc.
Certain pokemon are in the different types, like you might find a Tailow in a bird nest and a diglet in a burrow. This way it wouldn't be completely random, but still keeps you on your toes.

[tater160]

Wouldn't it make sense not only to have eggs in the grass but on trees too? Say you have a chance of getting a nest by using cut or maybe headbutt on a tree like in gold, silver, and crystal? That would be a good spot for flying and bug type eggs

[storm357]

What if the mother was there. you could battle it and if you win you can get the egg?
I dont really like the idea myself but its an idea!

[Mr Pokemon]

But then, as was brought up before, you would be stealing the egg. Maybe it could say, "You found an egg in a Pokemon's nest, will you take it?"
If you say yes, you can either take the egg no problem (because it is abandoned), or fight the mother, and not get the egg. You won't be able to run from the mother, and it would be hard to catch.
If you say no, then nothing happens

[storm357]

Good point, To make it not be really be like stealing then what if the egg fell down from the sky? Like the mother drops it.

[Jerry]

Uh... the egg would break? Unless the mother targets and sends the unwanted egg on grass which will cushion the fall.
