[PROPOSAL] The New Adoption Center: An RP-Centric Shop
Quote:
A few notable changes to the system:★ Adoptions would be free, but you would have to have a short RP adventure for them. (Unless you chose to pay a high fee.)Things that would stay the same would include the one adoption per calendar month rule, and the first-come-first-served standard. Once someone has picked a Pokémon to work with during their volunteer adventure, that Pokémon is set aside, sort of on 'layaway', until the end of their adventure. It cannot be adopted or partnered with by anyone else. Last edited by Nerd Violence; 08-10-2017 at 01:30 PM. |

While I think this has the potential to be a fun story-building idea, I'm not sure a lot of people would want to spend the time to RP out an adventure as opposed to obtaining a pokemon in 1 post. My counter-proposal would be that if people do seek out an adventure in the AC, their pokemon they adopt would gain a number of levels and egg moves/move tutor moves. That way they're at least working towards a benefit while others are still able to get what they want in a speedy manner.

I'm fine with levels and egg moves if the mods are fine with that, but the AC shouldn't be giving out better Pokemon than a zone, don't you think? You're already getting a free Pokemon you picked out for a short adventure.

An idea I brought up on discord: Through a roleplay-based area of the AC, people who volunteer and help out with tasks around the AC are permitted to have the price on their next adoption reduced and/or the duration until their next allowed adoption reduced.
It would be optional so people aren't obligated to RP, but to those who do, it's a nice benefit.

Honestly I really like the idea. Keeps the AC fresh by filtering out some of the Pokemon that are just going to sit there forever while bringing in some fresh ones to keep the AC alive. As long as the people have an option to adopt if they don't want to RP then I think this would be fine and most people will enjoy the opportunity for a bit of extra RP, especially since it gives a bit of a reward in the form of an egg move and some bond points. That said I would advise having them be rather brief adventures since at the end of the day you probably dont want to be waiting months to get your adoption pokemon lol.

I really love this idea and I'd definitely go for it. However I agree that adopting via one post still needs to be accessible and affordable as we have members who can't always commit to role play and make that money and stuff. I don't really have much more to say, honestly but you have my support.
