I forgot again. What's wrong with breeding to get more pokemon?
Would ruin the point of hunting and kill the economy. Why buy good pokemon if you can just breed for the IVs you need? Breeding is perfectly fine in the official games but it really doesn't mesh well with an MMO environment especially one with an in game economy like PWO.I forgot again. What's wrong with breeding to get more pokemon?
What if you had to give 4 or 5 of the same pokemons to a Mad Scientist npc in order to get 1 pokemon with random IVs?
Eg. give 5 bad Dratinis, get 1 random Dratini. Could be in the form of an egg, which would give an additional shiny chance
Edit: eggs are great for PWO because they force people to play in order to hatch them
That would be a good idea too. I suggested high numbers because it helps reduce the oversupply situation we have though. Trading 1 for 1 would never be fair, since you could trade it until you get one with perfect IVs. Maybe 2 t1s, 3 t2s, 4 t3s, 5 t4+ or UC. For this to work the tier system would have to be more transparent...interesting idea... perhaps somehow scale it based on rarity tier? i.e., you only need to trade in, say, 1 t1, but you'd need 2 t2s, 3 t3s, etc. (or scale it to 2 * tier, or tier^2, etc.)... hmm.
Stuff like this won't happen if it's worthwhile to do so, but unless it's worthwhile people won't be interested.
