What about an adoption center?

(1/3) > >>

Janus:
How about a place where a trainer can adopt a pokemon? the inventory of pokemon up for adoption changes every now and then so you never know what pokemon is there before you go into their playroom.  have anything that could improve this idea, please post it!

Shashi:
While the idea itself sounds kinda decent it doesn't really add anything extra to the game, except that lazy people can adopt Pokemon.

Also, it wasn't a really well thought out suggestion even though you got your point through, kinda.

Orius:
The game-play mechanics of a Pokemon game pretty much say it'd be for lazy trainers, but in terms of making Pokemon make sense it is actually a very good idea.
 
But... I'm not in the crew of making it so I don't have any say other than that it could work out, just needs more depth than "letting you get a random Pokemon".
 
Maybe if you had to pay some money to the adoption center when you adopt it - kind of like the game corner prizes? Only you'd just pay money.

spirit:
actually, i like this idea, it has some potential. it could be like an auction that anyone can participate in.

say for example i train a pokemon up to lvl 55 and don't really want it anymore for whatever reason
i go to the adoption center and drop off my pokemon, and say that i want $10 000 for it
someone then comes in looking at the center and finds my pokemon, turns out it was one they have been looking for, for some time now.
this trainer pays $10 000 and receives the pokemon i dropped off
i receive $10 000 (or some slightly lower amount) for the service.

this benefits all players in several ways.
1. the two trainers may never meet, and this way they are able to still connect with one another
2. the trainer who dropped off his pokemon gets a small amount of money, and no longer has to keep a pokemon locked up in one of his boxes and never use it again
3. the trainer who purchased it could end up with a pokemon he/she has been having trouble locating, and maybe even receives a higher level pokemon that will allow him/her to progress past a particularly difficult area

however, there should also be some restriction on the service. something like:
you have to have had the pokemon for 2 weeks, and level'd it at least 10 levels before being allowed to drop it off at the center
this would prevent people from developing a pokemon form of farming because no one is likely to purchase a low level pokemon from the center (especially if you place it a little ways into the game), so you are likely not to be able to sell a lvl 15 pidgey you just caught (since it's easy to level 10 levels later in the game), and people are actually going to have to work with what they got, and develop the pokemon rather than just catching and releasing
