I created this topic in order to find a system that I think is essential for this game. This is not really about a Breeding System but just a system to get that perfect 6x31 pokemon. Everyone wants to have it and the most hardworking players should be able to make it, the most unlucky hardworking players should be able to make it.
Current
With the current system, well, its random, and you have an approximate chance of 0.0000000037% of getting a 6x31 pokemon with a specific nature. Its nearly impossible. There are players spending hours and hours hunting for a specific pokemon getting at best an 1x31 and then comes this guy that catches an 3x31 just passing by. In my opinion, the luck factor should be minimal in games.
System 1
There is the vanilla breeding system where you get a child and keep both parents for yourself, that obviosly doesn't work on a MMO as it would ruin the economy.
System 2
There is a system from another pokemon MMO that I consider almost perfect, where you lose both parents. But your child pokemon will be a better version compared to his parents, you can buy an item that "locks" a specific IV and passes it to the child. The other IVs are the average of both parents or it copies it from one of its parents.
A parent holding an Everstone will pass its nature to the child.
It also allows to breed pokemon of the same egg group, the child becoming the same pokemon of the female.
Example (Green is the locked IV):
31x0x0x0x0x0 + 0x31x0x0x0x0 = 31x31x0x0x0x0
31x0x0x0x0x0 + 0x0x31x0x0x0 = 31x0x31x0x0x0
31x31x0x0x0x0 + 31x0x31x0x0x0 = 31x31x31x0x0x0
...
System 2 analysis
Pros:
Able to make 6x31
Keeps economy intact
Cons:
For a 6x31 rare pokemon you just need a female and a lot of common pokemon of the same egg type (disencouraging hunting for rares)
Impossible to make 6x31 genderless pokemon (they only breed with Dittos and Dittos don't breed with Dittos)
System 3
In my opinion the perfect system would be an improved version of system 2. Where a pokemon would only be able to reproduce with the same species with a different gender (genderless pokemon being able to reproduce with themselves).
This system is:
Able to make 6x31 (with a lot of effort)
Good for economy (you either spend time hunting or you buy the rare pokemon)
Encourages hunting (you need a lot of your species of pokemon to make a 6x31)
Possible for genderlesses to become perfect (Yay!)
As I mentioned at the beggining I believe that hard work should be rewarded and luck should be kept at minimum, the last system doesn't discard those extremely lucky moments where you get a 3x31, it saves a lot of work.
If you come up with a better idea of a system like this please comment explaining it.
Good hunts!
