 [Cecil is looking very weary and business-like today. He also looks about to be smothered by an avalanche of eggs.

Both of these facts might be related.]

My dearest team has blessed me with wonderful eggs, and for merely P1500 part of that blessing can be yours. Do you not wish to meet new companions at this time of the year?

[His voice is as flat as it can get, and his sentence ends in a sigh.]

...I would be most grateful if you took them off my hands, truly.


((ooc: There are still many eggs left! Come and get your awesome Pokébabies!))

That they do, very often and without their trainers' approval. The first Rock-type that hatches in front of you is always the most surprising.

[paladinlost]

It depends on the size of your team, and I do believe that breeders somehow obtain more eggs than trainers. But in this case, I could have had many more; a great part of my team refrained from adding more children to the pile.

Perhaps It Is a Biological Side Effect Of Your Presence As A Breeder
Though Figuring Out How That Would Work Is Hard To Say

Do You Prefer When They Dont

[paladinlost]

I'm a trainer, actually; I doubt I could withstand a breeder's batch. My main problem with it is that they always decide to have their children at the same time. Finding homes for them all is far from easy.

[wontturntostone]

Oh
I Assume From The Volume
Never Mind

You Sell Them Though
That Seems Like A Valid Reason To Want Many
Especially Given How Little Money We Appear To Start With Here

[paladinlost]

If I was a more recent arrival, perhaps. But I've been here for more than two years, and spent many of those days working. I could live comfortably for quite some time.

[wontturntostone]

Most Of The People I Speak To Seem To Have Been Here For Ages

I Already Spent Most Of The Money I Arrived With On A Coat
Its Freezing Here

[paladinlost]

Buying that coat is the best possible decision you could have made, believe me. Have you thought about working a few days at the Pokémon Center? It pays more than the stores.

[wontturntostone]

I Hadnt Given It Any Thought
I Never Had To Work At Home

I Hadnt Even Realized How Important Money Would Be Until I Bought The Coat And Saw Your Egg Thing

[paladinlost]

Never at all? You had no part-time work, no inherited position, no need to kill monsters for money...?

[wontturntostone]

I Killed The Monsters That Lurked On The Island When The Sun Was Up But Mostly Because They Were Pests
Otherwise No
By Troll Standards I Was Still A Child

[paladinlost]

I see. In that case, the Center would indeed be ideal. It's mostly greeting patients and directing them to the right nurse.

Once My Friends Get Here And I Know What Is Going on

Is People Selling Them The Main Way To Acquire Additional Beasts

[paladinlost]

It's the easiest way to get a few of the rarer species, but plenty can be found in the wild, as long as you have the pokéballs to catch them.

[wontturntostone]

I Have Five Of Those
I Found Them In My Bag
I Will Have To Look Into This

I Cant Actually Breed Them If I Only Have One

[paladinlost]

They're kind enough to give us that many, at least. You'd need a second Pokémon, and it'd also have to be from the same egg group as the first. And of the opposite gender, of course.

[wontturntostone]

Hmm
An Oddly Restrictive Breeding Requirement
Similar To Humans Though So I Suppose It Makes Sense Since This Is Their World

[paladinlost]

...The egg groups, or the genders?

[wontturntostone]

Genders
The Species Aspect Makes Sense
You Would Not Breed A Fishbeast And A Treebeast

[paladinlost]

...And yet you can breed a snake with a lion. How would it work without genders?

[wontturntostone]

Gender Is Simply Not A Specific Restriction On Alternia
Trolls Can Breed With Members Of The Opposite Gender Or Their Own

[paladinlost]

Not needing children of opposite genders would be very useful when arranging marriages, I have to admit. They'd love that in Troia.

[wontturntostone]

We Didnt Really Do That
Marriage
We Had Matesprites But They Werent Arranged

[paladinlost]

They were love matches, then? That's quite lucky.
