[System] Breeding and Egg Hatching

[Avaritia]

Breeding

Breeding is a pretty simple and straight-forward process. All it takes is two Pokemon in the same egg group that are of opposite genders. Genderless Pokemon cannot breed, unless they breed with a Ditto. Also, though baby Legendaries have occurred within the anime, Legendaries cannot be bred by even the most skilled Breeder, the exception being Manaphy, though Manaphy will have a lot more trouble and time when it comes to producing a Phione egg. Now, if you have two opposite gender Pokemon capable of breeding with one another, you can proceed~

In order to breed, you must allow your pair of Pokemon into a secluded, private area for them to go about their business. This can either be set up by creating a hidden nest for them in the outside environment or getting them comfortable and private within a indoor room, you're free to be creative. They won't do anything with the prying eyes of their trainer, or any trainer for that matter, so it's best to find a place for them and let them be. Once they're in a comfortable, private area, all you need to do is wait. Generally, one egg is produced by them per in-character days if conditions are right. Your character should be able to leave their Pokemon be and go venturing off to do other things for a while, get a good night's rest, and check in on their pair the next day and see them with an egg.

Of course, it's partially up to the Mod if an egg is produced. If your trainer sets them to breed in the morning and immediately goes to sleep just to get an egg after 1 or 2 posts, the Mod has the right to say that the breeding was not successful. Your trainer MUST go and do other things while their Pokemon are breeding. The longer they leave their Pokemon to breed, the more eggs are produced. Roleplay and personality is also taken into account: if the breeding pair has been seen to dislike one another, they most likely won't breed. If they're unfamiliar with one another because one is a new addition to the team, the breeding may also be unsuccessful.

So, in a TL;DR version:

1. Leave a compatible pair in privacy to do their business
2. They will usually produce 1 egg per in-character day if conditions are right
3. Pokemon are more likely to breed when familiar and friendly with one another

Hatching Eggs

Hatching eggs is very similar to the Breeding process. Once your character obtains an egg, it will hatch after four in-character days if it is present in the character's active team. Just like in breeding, though, it can be left to the Mod to decide if it should hatch once those days are up. If your character just stares at the egg, and in four posts four days have passed, they can prolong the hatching because of the few posts you've made with the egg. It's best to go travel or do other things and leave the egg be. After four days with your character, it'll hatch. There's no need to be impatient!

An egg bred by a character's Pokemon has a 50 - 50 possibility of being either species of their parents and this is not determined by the mother as it is in the games. They also have a 50% chance of inheriting one or more Egg Move(s) from their parents if possible, meaning that their offspring will each be unique and diverse, left to chances.
