There's been talk of an adoption center for people to get rid of Pokemon they don't want, and for players to be able to gain Pokemon that they want but can't get necessarily, from other players but not directly from them. The proposal was for an adoption center, and I think that might be interesting, but I'd like to see another section that might serve the same use to appear in 'other areas'. What, you ask? Cheyenne's Pal Park.
My proposal is for players to have the option to drop their Pokemon off at the Palpark, and for other players to be enter it and try to catch the captured Pokemon. It serves as a place to 'release' Pokemon and for Released Pokemon to go, but also could have the occasional special Pokemon show up [and perhaps exist in the Journey area instead], and/or events. :3 Bug catching contests anyone?
Stupid, I know. I know, waste of thread. But eh.

I'd actually like this if the members were modding their old Pokemon being captured. I guess just another way to roleplay.
It would have to count as "Capturing Pokemon", as in the achievement. There wouldn't be a separate achievement for it, like the adoption center would have. And I would have rules about how often you can find Pokemon, based on rarity, and the use of HMs would work to, seeing that like in the original, you need Surf for those pesky waters.
It can be organized. If it happened, I'd ask the Mods to watch over it while the members go through it.

I'd actually like this if the members were modding their old Pokémon being captured. I guess just another way to roleplay. I originally had that idea/thought it'd be interesting, too. It'd definitely make the Pokemon truly be 'passed on' from trainer to trainer, and it'd make the Pokemon as a character stay alive. Plus, it'd be an interesting way to have Pokemon passed on from one trainer to another, and provide a base bond between the Pokemon and its new trainer. :] Which would be viable, perhaps with the only accessible with some moves bit as subforums? :3 But your first statement confused me, a seperate achievement from capturing pokemon that were always wild? Yeah, that'd make sense. I think maybe "Inheritor" or "Scraphunter" x3 Perhaps, as most of the Pokemon in the Palpark are Pokemon trainers have thrown away. That'd make sense, perhaps with some NPC's former Pokemon out there and about too.

Why doesn't trading work? I mean it's not a bad idea, but it's just so much... simpler to trade.

Trading does work, but some Pokemon people just don't want to trade, or there'd just not be a possible way to explain IC why two people [say enemies] would trade Pokemon. It's simplier to just trade or OOCly say 'lol you can have it', but it kills some of the imersion. Not saying do away with people's ability to OOCly say 'lol you can have it', but the palpark is still an interesting idea in regards to keeping characters people liked but which didn't fit into their party alive, etc. Also allows players to pick up the torch of a Pokemon they liked from the trainer which owned it before.

I think you wouldn't need a special area for that. Instead, if you want this kind of immersion, just do it anyways in like, the beach, or the campground, or route one if you feel like it.

I disagree. The first two areas you stated specifically ban people from catching Pokemon. =/ Just catching people's Pokemon like that wouldn't be as fun, and it'd mean a person who wasn't even trying to inherit another person's Pokemon/catch it might still end up running into it and having to catch it.

Well, the banning of catching pokemon really only applies to wild pokemon. If two members agreed to it, you could do the palpark-y activities there. I'd rather combine instead of making a new board for these, since I don't see this happening TOO much.

This is a very interesting idea but the one problem I might have is... A good amount of times a person would probably abandon a pokemon because they are leaving the site.
In that case, it'd be hard to mod it through Palpark as they would no longer be in the board anymore... What do you do in situations like that?

Pretty much, I mean, we're really against give-aways from members that are leaving the site. At least if they are rare or are super special and there was no effort involved.
But...maybe we can make a note of the 'abandoning Pokemon' rules there? I mean, IC roleplays, we're pretty lax about how they do things. It would deserve some credit, I think.

Yeah, Spirit, we could. And the rare pokemon at least [not the super special ones] could just go by the same rules that they would in a normal thread, and players would have to spend pages looking for them, if not more.
Super special Pokemon/ones that wouldn't normally be seen in the wild or in people's possessions, I dunno about. And a person abadoning the Pokemon because they're leaving their site would have to say specifically they're abandoning it there, I think.

So, from what I've gathered and understood
» MEMBER (A) has a caterpie he doesn't want, so he drops it in the pal park » MEMBER (B) roams the pal park, and has a chance of getting the caterpie
I would enjoy having the member mod the pokemon, unless they left the site. Otherwise, it's just kind of a way for members to give each other pokemon without actually meeting each other. Right?
I do have a problem with the rarer ones. Say you dropped off a dratini, the other member you want to give to will have to spend 10 pages doing something for a chance to meet the dratini. I don't want to add more workload to the mods, as in this other section no one would pay attention to anyways, so then what would the member be doing? Unless they're interacting with someone else? I'm a bit confused as to what happens there.
Otherwise, I would still recommend doing it in any other place you want, instead of a pal park. It guarantees a successful transfer, and all that <3

Ari: [I would enjoy having the member mod the pokemon, unless they left the site. Otherwise, it's just kind of a way for members to give each other Pokémon without actually meeting each other. Right?
Yeah, and for people who want to dump a pokemon but not see it poof, but don't have anyone OOCly decided to give it, can do so.

Simple as- make them make every single post for the page as they try to get to the 10th page. No mod posts, and members can reply with their own Pokemon [of proper time] even if the person isn't looking into it.

FINAL VERDICT
NAY. Sorry XD
If you want to do it/trade/whatever with a member, you can do it in the other area or a route or anywhere you want. We don't need a specific place for it.
