We know that retro pokemon cant breed because that would be very gamebreaking. But i suggest allowing them to breed but them giving the regular version of the pokemon similar to event breeding, but retros will only give the non retro pokemon

For example: Lets say we have a male bulbasaur (retro) and a female bulbasaur (retro) you will get normal bulbasaurs

Obviously there would be some retros that wont breed
these are: Retro Articuno, Retro Zapdos, Retro Moltres, Retro Mew, Retro Togepi, Retro Ho-oh, Retro Lugia and Retro Celebi

I think this would make sence since these pokemon, are still their specie and they are not robots, also on their games they were able to breed.
Also according to the daycare owner, retro pokemon are eggs who took long to hatch so that would explain why they breed the normal form of the pokemon.
I think retros should have a higher breeding ratio since they are supposed to be rare.

Why add this?

Well, they would be more usefull for shiny hunting than their regular form since as i said earlier, they have a higher breeding chance and maybe add pokemon gold/silver/crystal shiny breeding easter egg

I actually support this idea, it would give another use for having retros instead of them just being pokedex entries, a bit like you're you can be Shadow pokemon and only receive regular pokemon eggs

That would make the shiny retros less valuable and cheaper then..?

@AlienSnowflake no, you wont hatch retros from the eggs that you get from the daycare, youll hatch the normal version of the pokemon, for example if you try to breed a retro sentret, you will get regular sentret eggs

As retros serve no other purpose than a dex entry and sitting in storage, this isn't such a bad idea. You can breed with shadows so why not the reteos

I like this, especially since you mentioned that giving the retros the ability to breed with higher chances would give them a purpose beyond just being a dex entry. Support!

No support from me.

While it seems like a good idea, the limited amount of retros would increase the prices of these retros, while making the shinies they produce less valuable. Pokemon like gengar, charmander, zubat, all these pokemon with mega forms already, and thus has a really cheap shiny, would have their SM easier to hunt, making these SMs and normal shinies decrease in value

No support. Sure it would give some use to the Retro Pokemon, but I also don't think it's needed.

On the other hand, I personally don't agree with your argument, RichKid.
Yes, some Retro Pokemon have Shiny Mega variants. Simply making them able to breed for their non-Retro counterparts I can't say would make their shinies or megas "easier" to hatch. They're just breeding and have the same luck-based chance of producing a shiny or mega than their non-Retro's breeding pairs. It should also be noted that to create a "perfect" breeding pair, they would need to have the same Pokedex number, so you would need two Retro Pokemon of the same species for the highest odds of breeding.
