POKEMON HYBRIDS/FUSIONS

All of us have probably seen various pokemon fusions or mash-ups on the internet. I saw the event pokemon on PH, so I randomly thought "Hey, why not include the fusions?"
*I'm really bad at explaining, especially since English isn't one of my main languages. But you'll probably get the point. I hope.

The idea is:

I'll start with daycare breeding, since it's the most important part of this whole thing. Pokemon can only breed with each other if they are in the same egg group. Normally, that will be the case with the addition of hybrids. There will be a rare case that happens at random in which two Pokemon from different egg groups get along with each other and are thus allowed to breed. So that this is not abused, this will only happen once with the two pokemon.
Unless the owner is really, really lucky and it happens to the same pokemon again.
(ex. Eevee and Bagon are said to be getting along very well by the daycare owner and are able to breed. After you obtain one egg from breeding, the effect will disappear and revert to normal)

Being different from other pokemon, the resulting hybrids grow to be outcasts and are unable to socialize with others. They will be unbreedable, even with Ditto as partner.

Also, being a premium member shouldn't improve your chances of getting hybrids. This is to keep it natural and emphasise how trainers can't manipulate their pokemon's feelings. Not directly, of course.

This is just an idea. It's up to you whether you like it or dislike it, so please feel free to post your opinions.

*edit: I forgot to mention: There doesn't have to be hybrids for all pokemon, maybe just for several selected ones and we would have to find out for ourselves which hybrids were added into the game.

Well, a very similar suggestion about hybrids was suggested and rejected before.
Also, I honestly would love to see something like this, but making the sprites for all the possible hybrids would just take too much time and effort.
So sorry, but no support.

Sounds pretty cool, but maybe to take work off of the spriters only certain pokemon can do this, like animals can in real life, or pokemon with similar body structures. For example, in real life, Tigers and Lions can make Hybrid Liger cubs, who often have spots and stripes, and smaller manes. See Here. There are also blond grisly bears, which occurs when a polar bear and a grisly mate. So maybe only pokemon based off of such animals would have hybrids.

In another direction, we could have pokemon of similar body structures mate into hybrids, like Vulpix and Litleo (smaller feline-like bodies, similar in body structure through evolution), or Tyranitar and Typhlosion (Semi-bipedal forms). I say this because some of nature's "Odd" couples are because of another species looking like a stronger version of the male species. There's an example of a male Zebra whom is physically attracted to a female Giraffe, and vice versa.

I forgot to mention something regarding what Dakar and Midnight said.
Edited the main post ^^

This would make the game soo much more interesting. And i like that premium wouldnt increase chances , that makes it more fair.

What do you think about something like this? It's not in sprite form and is a terrible MSPaint job, but I think it's kinda cute ^_^

i like this idea and it should only be a few selected pokemon that can fuse and they can add more over time, but i am going to be that one premium user that says that you should have a bigger chance of geting a fusion because the meaning of premium is that you should have some extra perks.

Already suggested and rejected. You can read the reasoning here
