As catching it at the beach is currently the only way to get Retro Tentacool, it means that it is currently impossible to get the eggdex for the retro. This might not be a big deal for a lot of trainers, but for players like me it's rather annoying. So this suggestion is to find a way around that.

There are two ways I have thought of that this could be possible.

1/ This idea was inspired by the way the Safari Zone legends work. In the Safari Zone you use the safari ball to catch the legends, but they arrive to you as an egg. I think this could also work for Retro Tentacool, the egg would appear in your box instead of the hatched pokemon. As with the Safari Zone, the other pokemon would still be hatched pokemon, not eggs, in your box.

2/ This suggestion could also apply to other pokemon such as from the Honey Tree and Safari Zone. When you are the original trainer of a pokemon, even if you didn't hatch it, it would enter it into your eggdex.

I'm no coder, so I don't know if either of these things are feasible, or if perhaps there is another easier solution. So please share your thoughts about it and let me know if there is anything else I need to change or add to in the suggestion.

As an eggdex-hunter I totally support this.

No support from me.

Honestly, I think that the eggdex flag should just be removed from Retro Tentacool, like Riako had to do for Giratina's Origin form.

The reason for this is because otherwise you can wind up with an egg in a normal storage box (Which is not a good thing) or you're taking the term egg-dex and making it completely moot for a name. (Since you're expanding it to the honey tree as well...)

So, pretty much, I think that it should just be removed from the one pokemon and stay classified as a bug that Riako needs to fix instead of altering features for.

@Navuso, perhaps you misunderstood my suggestion slightly? When I mentioned box I was referring to the fish box, not storage boxes. Sorry, I'm not always very good at explaining.

Thanks for pointing out the bug report though, I hadn't thought to check there before making this thread.

I'm neutral on this. I agree with Navuso that Riako could just remove the egg flag, but if he decides to keep it, i agree with this suggestion.

love the idea ^^

The EggDex Entry of Tentacool (Retro) has been removed :)
The beach does currently not support egg fishing/adoptions, so for now Tentacool (Retro) will not have an EggDex Entry.
