We had a fusions thread and it made me wonder what does /vp/ think about getting new pokemon from breeding in the official games (like pic related, by keeping the original pokemon, let's say the female, and adding features of the male on it). They added the alola forms, but even if some of them are shit, why not going further with breeding?
Well they could start by putting in normal pokemon into places they should be (ie blossom in alola) and then redo the regional variants thing right (ie not just gen 1)
>>31777145
yeah that's a good idea, the appearance would depend on stuff like climate, which is pretty easy for some pokemon.
And what about crossbreding? Against or not?
That's impossible to implement unless only like 10 Pokemon were able to crossbreed
>>31777189
If we consider crossbred pokemon only able to reproduce with the same kind of pokemon, limiting the appearance modification process through only one generation, it's true that it would still be a lot of work designing all the possibilities. And I'm sure using an algorithm to achieve it would just make it look really bad. So the best they could do is, in fact, adding subspecies
>>31777244
Alola forms are GF's version of subspecies. And they said they're interested in making more regional forms in future game in an interview.
>>31777244
Elektross, Reuniclus & Dusknoir are cute.
Spiritomb is pretty cool too

Because they dont like holes in their series, the only way it'll happen is with new Pokemon or new egg group combinations. Same reasoning why Eevee doesn't evolve into Leafeon via Leaf Stone or why Electivire and friends need specific items. Bellossum isn't going to have a new bred form with Tangela if they can already breed now into a normal Oddish/Tangela. BUT if Bellossum and Exeggutor couldnt breed before they would come up with some bullshit reason as to why they can now, and then get a fusion baby either counting as a form or a new species. But I think that if they did it then it would just be with new Pokemon because they havent existed yet so breeding could be different with them.

nice I'll check this, I hope this time they'll really give a meaning to the subspecies, so we could avoid things like alolan persian coming from nowhere
>>31777262
Yep I find too, would be great to have them in the official game or a good fanmade one. I'll post some more because crossbreeding can be really neat
>>31777308
That would of course break the coherence and force them to restart from the beginning by changing the fundamentals. And GF never makes this kind of changes, they add new things and that's all. With >>31777189
that's another good reason for adding subspecies only based on the region where they live and not on crossbreeding
I'll post some of my favorites if anyone is lurking
>>31777165
the posture and design even for the normal one in pic related is better than the regular meganium
>>31777387
true
>>31777357
that picture triggers me since nidorina can't breed.
>>31777403
yes there are also some crossbreedings which are impossible in the game, like pidgeot and celebi here >>31777318

Thanks for the contribution

Would you rather crossbreeding be a purely aesthetic feature or would you want it to introduce a fuck ton of typing changes and such? Sounds like it would extensive as fuck if implemented.
