BREEDING CENTRE RULES

[Administrator]

NOTHING CAN RIVAL THE BEAUTY OF LIFE

Numerous people can be seen bustling about in the lobby of the breeding centre. The overall look of the room seems to have a certain cheerful and pleasant atmosphere to it. Pictures of baby Pokémon are spaced out on the walls and different guides on taking care of young Pokémon and identifying eggs are littered on the small tables that are scattered about the room; however, possibly the most interesting feature about the room are the many Pokémon couples that can be found here.

An occasional pair of Mightyena can be seen curled up around a new pup as they await their trainers to come and pick them up, and one or two Pichu are sometimes running about, peering up at passing trainers curiously.

Like the other buildings of Trainer Square, a list of rules is clearly visible for trainers to read while they await assistance.

BREEDING
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Breeding is, obviously, the main purpose of the breeding centre. After all, who wouldn't want to experience the joys of watching their own Pokémon raise a family and aide in building a bond with a Pokémon right from its very birth? Of course, like anywhere, there is a protocol to be followed with breeding.

[/b] Threads are to be posted with a filled out form in the first post, which can be found at the bottom of this thread. The forms are necessary to ensure organization. In the title, please put what two Pokémon are being bred.

II. After the first post with the forms included, you must then roleplay the two Pokémon interacting for at least four posts, though please keep all interactions PG-13 and likewise and under the last interaction post indicate that the interactions are finished so that a staff member knows they may then post the results of the breeding.

III. When the results are posted, the funds will be subtracted from your total.[/ul]

If you wish you can breed with Pokémon from two separate trainers, simply make sure they agree beforehand and use the form for two trainers when posting your thread, and then each member alternates between controlling their Pokémon in the same way as noted above. In addition, the adoption centre does have a Ditto present for breeding, though it can only be bred with twice a month.

A full description on traits and other things that can be gained through breeding is present in the in-depth breeding guide.

RAISING A BABY POKEMON
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the Lanorae region it has been discovered that baby Pokémon can be both live born or born in an egg. Upon further examination, reptile, bird, amphibian, dragon and fish Pokémon all lay eggs, while mammals live birth.

[/b] To hatch an egg there is typically a requirement that must be fulfilled, which will be listed when the egg is posted; once this requirement is fulfilled the egg with hatch. The egg will hatch into a baby Pokémon at level one, and can be battled to level up.

II. Live born Pokémon are a bit different. When they are posted for you to claim they will be at level zero, which means you can interact with them, however, you cannot battle them. Like with the eggs, requirements will be listed, and once these requirements are met the baby Pokémon will level up to level one and can then be battled.[/ul]
