This would be an addition that would ease the frustration of trying to get genderless Pokemon. I like the idea and don't see anything really wrong with adding those to the current line up of custom incenses FB already has.

I feel like the simplest solution would be to allow trainers with Ditto to lend their Pokemon to a breed on the intended recipient's behalf, costing the recipient a breeding slot rather than the owner.
The ruling would be introduced with the idea that if people start to abuse it the privilege will be revoked.

This opens up a question, though: Are there enough Ditto to ‘go around’? Wouldn’t want things to get too competitive if each one only has two breeds a year. Same goes for not wanting anybody to feel pressured to share their Ditto if they have other ideas for it.

I'd rather avoid bringing Ditto into this if we don't have to. Just let genderless breeds be a thing without having it rely on the Ditto population.
Though this just popped into my head: If we want a 'rent a Ditto' solution, then perhaps let someone pay 2 Breed Slots to rent an NPC Ditto or something in place of putting forth one of their own Pokemon. That still avoids having genderless breeds being tied to the Ditto population of the FB players. (Which cannot grow itself as far as I know, you can't breed a Ditto with a Ditto and get another Ditto.)

Yeah, Ditto aren't necessarily a dime a dozen in FB, and they can't make more of their own kind- you can't breed two Ditto together, nor can you breed Ditto with something and use an Old Spice Incense to ensure a Ditto offspring. To add to that, not everybody in FB who even has Ditto might necessarily be willing to contribute their Ditto to such-
: I AM NOT A WHORE. ...Case in point. So I for one am in favor of either of the other ideas- the NPC Ditto rental, or the Materna/Paterna Incenses. |

I’d say I prefer the rental Ditto option at the cost of another slot, but also don’t feel it’s the biggest problem genderless Pokemon are slightly harder to obtain.

Yeah I'm still on the side of having a rental ditto. I wouldn't mind if it cost an extra slot like Emp suggests, but I wouldn't mind if there was a monetary fee of like, $500, as well to rent it from the Hatchery. While the incense are a cool idea, I do agree with Emp that Genderless Pokemon are unable to breed for a reason. The only reason they really have internal egg groups is so that they are able to breed with Ditto.

*jingle bells aringing*
With Halloween (sadly) behind us, I thought i’d pop an idea i’ve been thinking about in here to see what people think. I know it’s a bit early and i’m sure the mods have other bits in mind by way of seasonal events but here goes anyhow -
Delibird’s Delightful Distribution Delibird is coming to town and wants the citizens of Fizzytopia to help spread the spirit of the season People who sign up will be designated another member and will need to respond to the PM from Delibird (me, one of the mods or whoever - someone not taking part and impartial) with what gift they will be giving to this member (an item or items, Pokémon, whatever is deemed as ‘legal’) - once Christmas rolls around, these gifts will be revealed and can be collected by their recipients, giving everyone who entered a surprise and the chance to try and work out who got them Let me know your thoughts, i’m a total sucker for Secret Santa and thought it’d be a good way for some more community fun times, even if it ends up as a TO activity ^^

Aw and I was thinking I'd make someone's Christmas by filling their stockings with lots of Candies~ ;P *shot* (Although that'd probably make it really obvious who their Secret Santa was lol.)

I think it's a great idea and as something community driven, I don't see how it couldn't run alongside anything else planned for Christmas.
If someone feels they don't have something worth giving, it might be worth giving the option to make a Department Store purchase in private, so not to spoil the surprise. Adding a limited range of stocking filler items might also spice things up.

So there's been some talk as of late about Bond. About wanting to either rework it in some fashion or do away with it altogether. Me, personally, I never had an issue with the way Bond currently works, but at the same time, I can see why it doesn't appeal to everybody. I'm not completely sure which would be the correct way forward here, but either way, I do have ideas.
1: If we decide to rework Bond: My idea here is to simplify Bond a bit, and hopefully eliminate the linking aspect of it- a lot of people don't seem to like that about it. My idea would take it back to something that vaguely resembles the Happiness Point system of the pre-Fizzbylution days in terms of relative simplicity, while retaining the RP-centric ideas we had in mind when concocting Bond in the first place.
2: If we decide to axe Bond: In my previous idea, I already went on about how we could kinda move the current Bond bonuses away from actually relying on Bond, but one aspect of that would be obviously pretty tricky to work out otherwise; Happiness evolutions. It would also create a bit of an issue with moves like Return and Frustration, and I'm not sure what we'd do about those moves if we axe Bond altogether. What I do know, however, is that even if we get rid of Bond, there's still a good way to make happiness evolutions possible.
Also, if we're thinking of reworking Shadow Pokémon mechanics, I may try and think of something for that as well, but right now I just have one thing- rename Fever to Hyper Mode. It's called Hyper Mode in Colosseum and Reverse Mode in XD, and what we have in FB is closer to Hyper Mode, in that it actually has some sort of upside. The games describe these modes as the Pokémon's emotions "rising to a fever pitch", which is where the "fever" bit came from, but come on. We have a perfectly good name for it in canon already, don't we? |

I really like the suggestion of making the Advanced Move perks related to level rather than bond, it makes more sense that a Pokemon might learn a move like Blast Burn through intense training rather than through happiness and it also gives people an incentive to level up their Pokemon. I'd suggest having a first Advanced Move available at Lv.50 and the second Advanced Move OR a Shadow Move available at Lv.100.
I also think it's fine to increase the daycare rewards, the games have made levelling much easier and I don't think it would hurt to follow suit. I do think happiness evolutions pose one of the biggest issues to scrapping bond altogether, although perhaps a shop could be kept in place for raising the bond for these Pokemon, with a smaller scoring system like MM suggested. There's also Return and Frustration to consider - although I think their power should be dictated by the owner of the Pokemon and/or their updator. In raids they could default to their maximum power. Finally, it might be worth allowing some bond for levels/moves exchange so that the bond earned by people over the years isn't completely wasted. Either that, or allowing them to keep the perks they have unlocked. I realise these suggestions are more focused on the scrap bond outcome but I'm also in favour of preserving it at a smaller and more simplified scale.

Little idea I wanted to throw out here- I'm always trying to think up ways we could maybe get Watts... not necessarily easier, that's not exactly the word I'm looking for here... Faster, I suppose? Like, I'm all for working for them, and I understand respecting the fact that they're an incentive to do raids, so what I'm thinking is, allow people to claim Watts for RP'd raid posts, in addition to the Watts given out at the end to everyone. I feel like this keeps Watts to the raids, while allowing people the option to put in the effort to get themselves some additional Watts. I feel like it should be a flat amount of Watts- I was initially entertaining the idea of having it be more Watts in tougher raids, proportionate to the Watt reward at the end, but since tougher raids would last longer, I feel like that'd balance out anyway. I feel like it's more a question of what that flat amount would actually be, and that's where I'm not sure what to suggest for this.

The problem with this idea is that only a small proportion of us roleplay our raid replies.
I find writing raid posts can be a real chore at the best of times, I usually end up padding due to the formulaic, turn-based nature. I like that writing raid posts is optional as-is and if Watts, the scarcest currency in FB, were given out as incentive for roleplaying I’d feel pressured to put something together every time I order. I’m all for finding different avenues to earn Watts I’m just not sure this is the right way to go.

Since it's pride month, was a thing in the game, and came up in Discord I want to see if people would be interested in implementing Azurills able to be FtM on evolution. In Gens 3 and 4, a female Azurill had the chance to evolve into a Male Marill due to differing gender ratios, and I feel we should be able to honor that well.
Thoughts?

Putting this here so as not to derail the Dept Store thread.

I'll voice support for Dragon Scale acting as a type-boost item. It was in the games for a bit at least and it's not like it's the only evo item to have held effects
