Sounds like a rich get richer situation and makes it more prohibitive to new/underfunded players.

This would only be good if it replaced the cost for Braces, ever stones, and gender locks in addition to there being a shop menu that stores your unretrieved eggs in a menu window listing them by price and species name "Chinchou Egg 30,000" "Charmander Egg 45,000" "Charmander Egg 20,000". We do NOT need more money loss as it is, we need less. This thing would make us spend more for successful pokemon but less on unsuccessful pokemon so it balances itself out, assuming it replaces the cost for braces.

Dragon Rage. Badass name. Badass anime depiction. Badass theme. One of relative few dragon moves. -40 damage. I'd really prefer it deal a flat 2 damage per level, which would make it reliably deal roughly half enemy HP at roughly equal levels. Include a warm up / charge first turn, fire on the second, make it cause confusion in the user, make it 5 uses. Just... something... But for peets sake, make Dragon Rage dragon rage. Dragon Rage -IS- amazing at low levels. I wiped the floor with Brock and Misty with Charmander/Charmeleon because of it, when I should have had difficulties by nature of fire starter. But it doesn't change the fact that it's a bad move in the long run. (Not even that long of a long run either).

The breeding system has been terrible for me to get into. I despise having to throw away pokemon I may have spent hours with already just to -try- to get a better version. It's prohibitively expensive to breed properly. The Braces, the Everstones, the option to guarantee a certain gender, the timed egg hatching, the separate breeding vs daycare leveling and the EXP training instead of steps are all great additions. But I'd much rather keep the parents and knock out multiple babies than fuse two into one. This is entirely counter to the theme of the game in trying to be a caring pokemon trainer, but promotes a heartless capitalistic outlook viewing the pokemon as pawns or tools to be thrown away if slightly inferior to something else in the spirit of profit... However I do have something of a love/hate relationship to what it does to the pokemon saturation. It keeps pokemon levels down. To that I would suggest something. A new option when handing your pokemon over to the Creepy Old Breeding Guy Who Likes To Make Your Pokemon Mate And Keep Them Locked In His Basement Guy. Yes that's all his name. COBGWLTMYPMAKTLIHBG. Cobblehog for short. The option is that you can pay to retrieve your pokemon along with the egg in exchange for having them become Bonded. Bonded pokemon are displayed with a ribbon like Gift. They cannot be traded and cannot breed with any other pokemon other than the one they bonded with. Pokemon bred under a Bond are themselves Bonded to the parents and cannot be traded either. The Brace merchant can sell a Bond Breaker to remove the Bonded condition on a pokemon of level 1 for a highish price of 50k or something. If you do not pay for that option, the breeding mechanic continues as normal.
