Tell us what species egg is in the daycare before we receive it

[WolfgangDamien]

Another simple but extremely helpful suggestion.

 

At the moment, when you get an egg from the breeder, there is no mention of what species the pokemon is. Very often I find myself forgetting to grab an egg before I log off for the night, and when I log on the next day, or a week later when I go back to the breeders,  I have a "mystery" egg Ive forgotten all about. 

 

Sometimes this happens when Im in the middle of a very important breed, like a 5x31, because Ive ran out of money and must make more. When Ive got money and return, Ive completely forgotten about a multiple 31 IV egg, what species it was or what gender it should be to avoid losing a large chunk of money if I select the wrong thing.

 

My suggestion is simply to put the species name in the dialog.

 

The current diaglog reads:

"Ah! It's you! Your pokemon just had an EGG, would you like it?"

 

 

Change it to something like:

 

"Ah! It's you! Your pokemon just had a MACHOP EGG, would you like it?"

"Ah! It's you! Your MACHOP just had an EGG, would you like it?"

[Darkshade]

"Ah! It's you! Your MACHOP just had an EGG, would you like it?"

 

This is much nicer than the former option, I'll put up a ticket.

"Ah! Its you! Your machop just had an egg. Here is a Charmander egg"
Now wouldn't that be something interesting

XD Well, coding-wise, the species name needs to come from the female parent so things like this dont happen. lol

I've requested

"Your SPECIES_NAME had a SPECIES_EGG!"

For the sake of baby species.

Wut,

"Your PIKACHU had a PIKACHU EGG!" ? why say the species name twice though.

The SPECIES_NAME can't just be the female, there's breedings where there is no female so that logic doesn't fit.

I was going to make that joke. :(

You mean a Pichu egg? That's why.

Doesn't he mean the egg group when he says species egg?

no

Pikachu was just a bad example, I guess. 

 

"Your SQUIRTLE had a SQUIRTLE EGG!" 

[GeneralVenican]

"Your DITTO had a DITTO EGG!" 

Ditto cant have an egg tho, so worse example

Oyeah I forgot about that... is there a way to write an IF, THEN statement, where "IF theres a ditto, THEN use the other pokemon's SPECIES_NAME" ?

Just wow, I don't think there's one stupid thing left to say

 

Great suggestion, we fuck up genders all the time because we don't know what's in there

[Darkshade]

It wouldn't be the female, it would be the 'Mother'

 

"Your DITTO had a PIKACHU EGG!"

 

 

Would make perfect sense as it is implied that it transforms to the species of the other parent.

whats the point in it? put it in a pokeball and see on the summary of the egg

Genderchoice, sometimes I forget what I've bred, or had to log off while breeding.

[DoubleJ]

Thanks Darkshade, this will be really helpful for us broke folks that can't keep up a breeding chain in one log in. 

[Darkshade]

Genderchoice, sometimes I forget what I've bred, or had to log off while breeding.

 

It also doubles up as a way of teaching new players how 'Mothers' work, which is pretty handy I think.

[EliteFourSandy]

I love this idea. It would suck to forget an egg you spent 2m on and accidentally box it xD
