Tymid:
This is an idea I've had since I was little, since the first pokemon games came out. It's pretty basic, but probably not what this game is looking for in terms of gameplay. Still, it could branch out into other ideas, and possibly be incorporated.

We all know that in the daycare, compatible pokemon produce eggs. For me, waiting for the egg to hatch is very thrilling; I think it's because you don't know what moves they'll have, or even if it'll be a shiny. What if, on random occurance, like wild pokemon encounters, you find a Pokenest, and there is a mystery egg inside. Now, this would have to be on a very random occurance sequence, and the egg, like any freshly caught pokemon, would be sent to the PC. A maximum of 5 eggs could be in the PC at any given time, to keep from egg harvesting. The chance for a rare pokemon is, just that, rare, but the fact that it could be any pokemon would be a great way to keep people walking through the grass, training their pokemon; a suspense tactic.

This idea is rough, I know. But I think it would be a great way to keep players intrigued, and also a new and exciting addition to already great pokemon game.

Critiques are welcome. I'm not afraid of bad ones, so please, post anything you like.

That sounds like a good idea because players can get cool Pokemon, but when theirs MMO's there is also scammers.
You can tell if there's a chance these eggs are really rare everyone's going to scam everyone else for the eggs and many other people with make multiple accounts to get many eggs then transfer it to their other accounts making a circle of a few people with 100's of eggs. That's just something you have to take into account, especially for a new MMO still in the making.

Although he said that you could only have 5 at a time in your pc, so there's no way that 1 account will have 100 eggs on it.

Anyways I really liked this idea! This'll keep more people in the grass, and make training against wild pokemon somewhat more exciting just because of this small chance.

You can still gather multiple accounts and wait for all five eggs to hatch, then transfer the unhatched eggs to the main.
 
But making eggs/nests Non-Tradeable would solve every scam problem anyone may have.
 
 
But as stated before, great idea. This reminds me of an idea from a quite a few other MMOs (some done better than others)
 
 
 

Tymid:
Thank you for all of the feedback! A solution to the scamming problem would be, as ghostman said, to make the eggs/hatched pokemon untradeable. HOWEVER, they can be bred. This would mean that the trainer would have to have a Ditto or another of that rare pokemon to succeed.

Also, to add on to this idea, I figured the drop rate for rare pokemon would be pretty slim. However, to keep intrigue alive, we calculate the value of shinies into this equation. Meaning, pokemon that hatch from the egg that aren't considered rare (i.e.: caterpie, rattata, etc.) have a HIGHER chance of being shiny than say a rare pokemon that hatched from the egg. There's still the chance you could get a normal caterpie from the nest, but the chances of you catching a shiny caterpie in the wild vs. finding one in the nest is leaning highly toward the nest.

The reason this is so intriguing to me is the whole mystery factor. You can get any pokemon, there's still hope that if it's not a rare one, it can be a shiny commoner. There's still a lot of kinks that need to be worked out, but I appreciate all the feedback!
