Forum Thread

I've lately been trying to get the Harvest Sprites and there is one in particular that says something that has really started making me think about the Daycare owner. He takes care of our Pokemon, raises them and provides us with eggs. Whether it is to complete a dex entry or hunt for a shiny he is always there. But he's always alone. It makes me sad that the Daycare owner is single unlike in the games. It's kind of a half baked idea but I was really thinking that there should be a Daycare woman for him. It could possibly be introduced as him thinking of a long lost lover who went to maybe explore where Pokemon eggs come from and in her research she got side tracked and distracted and has been gone for many years. Which would open up a completely new chance for an event Pokemon that she had discovered on her travels. Might be a nice Valentine's Day sorta thing. I think it would also be nice to have it that if she was introduced it would increase the Pokemon that the daycare could contain. So say you could have 2 breeding pairs in there at once. I'm not completely sure how this would be balanced with shiny hunts and chains but again it is half baked so far. I just got to thinking it'd be really nice to have that and you can still only have 6 party members at a time so it would be semi-limited by that.

Edit: I removed the suggestion about the radio from the original post.

No support because, the radio thing is there but in form of flutes which u could buy with nuggets
and daycare lady isn't needed much around

I don't exactly support the radio thing, but I agree that the DayCare Man is very alone. I think it would be nice to give him someone to help him, and help him not be alone. But I have a question, why do we need this feature?

Why do we need the love test feature?

If anything, this suggestion is more useful than that game, lol.
I hit that I support, because I support there being a daycare lady, and doing a cute valentines event from her would be rather cute.
I don't support the radio, though, because we have the flutes and premium bonuses.

As for the extra daycare slots, while it would be a neat idea, there would need to be a way to organize it somehow. I'm thinking having a page 1 and page 2 for the pokemon section. Page 1 stays as it is now, but page 2 will need it's own funds to work. And if you buy a flute that works on the daycare, you need to buy one for each daycare (so it doesn't work on both slots)

The same is true for the premium daycare bonus. (It only affects the first daycare slot)

And I think it should cost more per hour, because I'm sure the daycare lady still goes out to look for pokemon and where eggs come from, so for her time to take care of the second breeding pair, it should cost more.

I agree now that I looked at the flutes more that the radio thing probably is kind of a wash. It would be unfair to premium members if there was something like that and with the flutes it'd be a bit unfair to regular users since I imagine it'd stack, maybe? Although, I still think that the daycare lady would be a solid addition, though. I'm not sure if I can really answer why it would be needed. It just seemed like a nice thing to implement. Also, it is still a half-baked idea. I think Navuso made some good suggestions though for balancing it. I mean if you aren't using the page 2 as he suggested then it'd cost the same. I haven't really thought of any additional things to add or to polish this idea up at all.

I support. While the radio thing would be good to some kind of "regular user flute", it would kind of spam the Daycare of premium users. Also, yep, Chef Sprite says that Daycare man is very lonely and shares the food that he bakes with Prof. Rowan ship sailed , and thats kinda sad.

Also, cute valentine's date. Also, like @Navuso said, the love test feature is featured by the Daycare Owner and its kinda useless, maybe Daycare Lady could be the one that made/commands this useless feature? since you know, removing her "more eggz" bonus would make her kind of useless.

---

I'd like to remind everyone that the daycare owner's perfect match is Toothie, as calculated by the daycare owner

I kinda support, kinda don't

More like what Navuso said maybe?

---

Though it could also do something else, perhaps the daycare lady refuses to watch the same pokemon as her husband because it's less interesting?

This would encourage people to breed eggs to go into the grass, or even encourage buying more egg storage (you breed ditto and arceus in her daycare and store the eggs as you hunt something else maybe?)

I'm only suggesting this because if they can have the same pokemon, the ditto market will be even more inflated and corrupt with scammers, because it would make hunting the breedable legends easier if there could be two daycares at once.

---

If not, he can still have a daycare that he runs with her (she goes out, sometimes brings in new events, or quests, or retros), and if we really want two, we could have those kids from the Battle Resort (i forgot them) running their own daycare.

@teius I agree in hindsight the radio thing does seem a bit unfair to premium users but on the other hand, it seems like it'd be nice for regular users.

@Nessy I think that he had some good points as well. I also like your idea that you wouldn't be able to breed the same Pokemon in both daycares. It would also be nice to have the tall grass be more varied. So far from what I've seen is that there are a ton of one Pokemon and then a couple for another. I do think that it would make sense though to have the daycare lady interested in different Pokemon than the ones her husband currently has. I didn't think about having her go out but it could sort of be a chance thing maybe? Like "You'll never guess what I found (insert name here) it's an egg I've never seen before! I'd like you to have it. I'm curious to see what hatches from this." I admit that sounds a bit bland but I didn't think of her as an option to bring in new events, quests, or retros. I do like that though and think it would make her being implemented a lot more valuable.
