It's just a personal preference really, I think wishlists should have no connection to the Hatchery at all and should be used exclusively for guiding Zone rewards. I would prefer a regular Enigma Egg, but if everybody else is ok with the current proposition, I won't be the one to argue! Bring on the changes

Personally I would prefer an Enigma Egg or a choice of Egg Type like the old Egg House, as I don't really care for the idea of Memakyu in the first place. But that's just me and if others are cool with it then I say go ahead.

Okie dokes! That said though, it could be easily done that you could have a choice between the Birthday egg and the Enigma egg. Should I add the option?

I'd say having a regular Enigma Egg as an option over the Birthday Egg can't hurt, especially since, as lilblue pointed out, not everyone uses the Memakyu.

Well as per the "existing" rules, if you don't have a Memakyu (or have a Memakyu with less than 5 Pokémon), you get an Enigma Egg automatically anyways. My point is if some feel uncomfortable to have their Memakyu used to raise hatching odds of those Pokémon, they can request a plain ol' Enigma Egg. (Or perhaps a type-based egg? That could be done also!)
Edit: I've edited in those options in my post. Last edited by OkikuMew; 12-24-2017 at 10:52 PM. |

The choice between the option is nice IMO. Personally I'll stick with the birthday Egg as my Memakyu mostly consists of "Pokémon I have RP whims for" so having a high chance of getting one (and Shiny at that!) is something I'd like, but I get it's not for everyone.

I was personally in favor of the new suggested Pokémon birthday gifts, actually- I thought I mentioned that before, but looking back, it looks like I didn't. Though I'm not gonna raise a big fuss about sticking with the ones we got- they're nothing to sneeze at by any means.
As for the Trainer birthday presents, just want a little clarification- not on the Birthday Egg, but rather on the Poké Ball/TM of choice. 1: Are there any restrictions on the available Poké Balls? Like, can someone just up and get a Master Ball for their birthday? And what of the PokéCon Ball that the Cosplay Pikachu came in- are those fair game as well? 2: I would imagine that we could choose from any of the TMs that have appeared in the game, but what of the FB-exclusive TMs from that one Halloween event, for Dark Void, Seed Flare, and Shadow Force? And are Custom Move-teaching items available in this way as well, such as the Cranberry Vodka to teach Firestream? |

1. I would say that all Pokéballs from the Department Store, Apricorn balls, and "common"/"generic" event Pokéballs like the ones based on types and cyber balls should be available. Master Ball is obviously too OP, and any other Pokéball should be "exclusive" and kept only for their specific events (Halloween, Christmas, New Year's, Valentines, PokéCon, etc). All that said, I would prefer to have a mod have a say on this point. 2. I'm pretty sure by "TM" it would mean actual TMs from the game, and none of the FB-exclusive TMs or otherwise move-learning items. |

Your birthday is once a year. You get to have a Pokemon you want, once a year. I don’t understand why this is such an issue.

Yeah, that's a bit my thoughts exactly, but I definitely see the others' concerns too. That's why I went and make the compromise of making it a "higher chance" of getting Memakyu Pokémon, and that people can choose something more random if they still don't feel comfortable with it.
As for the Pokémon presents, I think most chose that it's "fine as it is" because 1. The only difference is 1 added level X3 and 2. People can celebrate Pokémon birthdays often (at least, more often than Trainer birthdays!) so it feels ok to be a little bit downplayed. |

The mods and I have talked it over the last few days, and here is some feedback that we would like to add to the discussion. These thoughts we have all agreed on, but the other mods are welcome to chime in if they wish.
Pokemon Birthday Presents: - Birthday Candy Cake: levels given increased from 2 to 3Trainer Birthday Presents: - $1000: Fine |

As for the semi-controversial Birthday Egg, I personally don't mind if it's either a guarantee or a higher chance of hatching a Memakyu Pokémon! And raising the amount of Pokémon needed in the Memakyu to 8 is fine by me. I don't really mind removing the shiny part either as I don't care that much of those (although I know some might be a little saddened.) |

Approve of the Birthday egg stuff, looks like a good way to do it.
On the Pokeball, I kinda feel like we should open it up a bit as the department store balls are kinda bland. There are tonnes of balls that aren't really accessible unless you've been around for ages. |

I second a wider selection of Poké Balls. I mean, obviously, free birthday Master Ball is obviously broken and a worse idea than having a staring contest with a Primeape, and it's also ideal to keep certain exclusive Poké Balls... well, exclusive. But yeah, the Department Store's selection remains just the tip of the Bergmite. Apricorn Poké Balls, not to mention the countless custom FB balls we got out there. Getting to pick just one out of all those once a year, hardly sounds unreasonable to me.

I'd also like to see an expansion on the Pokéballs. (And I'd myself would like to see Cherish Balls as an option, since they do literally nothing special and are just a fancy looking Poké Ball, basically.)

As someone who really really likes Cyber Balls, I also agree that I think we should have an expansion. Anything that has a simple aesthetic value (Cherish, Cyber Balls, Etc.) and maybe even the Apricorn balls.

I second, third, forth... erm well I kinda agree with you guys that it would be fun to have access to more Pokéballs in both the store and, in consequence, as choice in the trainer birthday. (I may be a little biased here though, being the Pokéball collectionner ^^;) That said, I think this conversation would belong in a different (new?) thread! In the meantime, I say just leave in the "Pokéballs available at the store" thing so whenever or not the store will have more Pokéballs, the presents will adapt to it by default.
So to finalize, here's what the new presents will look like, starting in 7 hours! Pokemon Birthday Presents:

I wasn't really asking for an expansion to the Department Store, but rather an expansion to the rule to allow for non-Department Store balls...
But it is what it is.

Oh derp, I misread what has been said ^^; Or did I? I am now confused ^^;
If it's in terms of the birthday present only then sure, we can talk about it! I'll quote my thoughs here again: Quote:
If it's about the dept store itself, then new thread! |

For now let's roll with department store only pokeballs. We'll leave the discussion open and revisit it when we come to another decision.

I don't see why it needs to be waited on. These Balls are a pain in the arse to retrieve and super rare. Obviously people want this expansion. I don't see why it has to be a big deal that we can get /one/ of those balls for free one day of the year.

It's because the mods and I have been working on stuff Non. Stop. for the the past 2 months and we've all sacrificed much of our holiday times and we're very tired. All I ask is that the community please be patient and give us time to catch our breaths and sort ourselves out so we can revisit topics that frankly aren't super important to the fabric of the game at a time when we're ready. Thanks.
