Ye old Farm!
Well, just a place where people can grow/buy all kinds of stuff like berries, herbs (energy root, energy powder, revival herb, heal powder,...), several hold items like big root, leftovers, stick,... And Misc. items like zinc , iron,...
So basically a place where you can buy stuff that the farmers can grow themselves. And I was thinking, on special occasions, even several pokémon like shroomish (mushroom) , Seedot, Sunkern, ...
Hey, it's good for the environment!

It could also be combined with the daycare for your pokemon to roam...
And there can be a subforum there for you to RP as your pokemon (without a need for a mod).
We have that right now in the Articuno's Vision... But that is a special event that can close soon. This can be a permanent place for you to leave pokemon to chill instead of just placing them in the PC

About the RP as pokémon, I'm not sure. Let the admins discuss about that Toma. But I'm glad you like the general idea ;d

XD They Sol Ranch, which breeds them.

Agreed! So do you like the general idea of a 'farm' Warr? ;d

Reminds me of Ruin Factory. I'd not be opposed to farming, but it's counter intuitive to the act of training. However- we could do something like Berry Pots. A farmer's market could possibly exist to sell berries/those other items, but so too trainers could [in my eyes] hunt for them in the wild, with a few posts. If of course they knew what they were doing. That root they made into healing powder might function more like poison powder, if they don't know what they're doing.

It would be more of a shop than anything else. But I called it a farm because anything that would be sold, would have been made by the merchants themselves. Like environmental stores? (Yvon, help me with this. I don't know the English word, in dutch it's 'Wereldwinkel')

One thing I would love to add to this is if we can "incubate" berries for the farm instead of just buying them.
Basically the farm allows you to plant a berry and then water it. You pay a small fee to use their space and then you have to get a certain amount of post in order to go and pick up that berry.
That would be a cool thing to add as this is RPing... And it makes it a little more fair as you have to have the berry prior, so you can't just buy berry collections.
[Edited: Okay nevermind. Sol Ranch does that for you. Makes sense]
I like the idea, but I do think we can extend it further so it has a more RP feel to it, instead of a "game" feel where you buy stuff

Well, we did not want a berry farm, which is why we got a shop for them, to make them available. Most of the time, though, everything is available in the shops, and really farming seems to be just an activity that would majorly distract from your main goal of the journey.
A farm requires a lot of attention. I can't really see it working in a pokemon roleplay. XDD

FARMERS RULE ARI! xDD
It's just to over more variety for bored RP'ers + people who want to grow their own berries (very important for breeders)
You don't gain levels, at all. No special stuff. Just a place to grow all kinds of stuff. And then you'd also have a market that'd sell seeds for all the stuff. So you'd still pay, but like you'd buy a 'four seed package' and every berry seed has like a 60-75% chance to grow into a berry. And rare seeds could be handed out on special occasions.
Then there would also be the farmer's market, where local farmers sell their product.

I see where you are going with this, and yes, the Rune Factory thing struck me too.
If its Pokemon you want, I'd be against having another area for mods to just rp in, because some areas...are just forgotten. I always thought that being a trainer would be a full time occupation, especially considering the distance between the route and...wherever this farm might be.
Seeds for those hand grown items would be interesting. Something to have on the route.
Maybe like how we have those "egg post 1/10" thing at the end of a post, it could be "Seed post 1/10" where the trainer has to tend to that area until something pops up.
Basically it could be like, 2 random seeds for 500 PD and you have no idea what you get.
But that is assuming that the will to grow stuff is really strong with the members. I don't see an actual system presented that I could use.

We could always do a test run, sort of like we did with missions, and see how many users actually ~USE~ this. I wouldn't, just because I get swamped with the two threads I have active at any given time, but not everybody is as short-attention-spanned as I am.
I'm not really for or against this, I mean, if people want to use it, let them grow stuff. The only thing I'd be concerned about is adding extra work for the mods to keep an eye on people growing stuff. I would like a system like Spirit suggested, the SEED POST 1/10 thing.

I would enjoy a test run as well.
But does that mean the berry shop was for nothing? I was certain we solved the berry growing thing with the shop.

I don't think so, because the seeds would be random (at least for the test run). Some people are impatient and don't want to waste time growing them. Berry shop is for insta-access.
At least, give it a try. I'm willing to watch over it. I know Ari and I at least look over the threads to make sure nothing crazy happens. Editin' posts like a mo' fo'.

Final Verdict
No thank you. The Berry farm didn't work, and we're worried this won't either. <3
