Well, yes, if it was decided not to implement this breeding mechanic at all, then we naturally wouldn’t be having this discussion. But the mechanic was chosen for implementation on site, so there is room for further discussion over whether it is consistent with the rest of the site or should be made less limited. The fact that the mechanic was implemented as-is by TJ doesn’t inherently mean there’s no room to improve it or that nothing is off about it, we’ve seen that play out many times with site features. In any case, I will admit that I assume but I don’t exactly know if increasing the amount of species that extinguish the dragon would be as simple as setting flags or not, but this conversation doesn’t amount to “unreasonable personal disappointment over not getting even more content” so much as “recognizing that a mechanic is almost definitely inconsistent with the previously established rules/lore of the site itself” and thinking that’s maybe worthy of being addressed further. I’m certainly not asking for even more new variations of it to be made, I’m only talking about what already exists. It kind of stops just being down to “one person’s personal interpretation vs another” when it’s an ingame mechanic that interacts with and therefore has implications on other dragon species, intentionally or not. But I know these sorts of things take time, of course, and yeah there probably will be more room for that in the suggestions area. Edit: ugh, sorry about that font size. My bad.

I would argue the fact that this mechanic has had to be explained offsite after being widely questioned about kind of constitutes a failure to make it not confusing anyway. Based on discussion, I’m not sure how many people would come to the “Oh, it’s because they’re the only dragons with water in their sprite” conclusion on their own. Especially since the “water in the sprite” rule appears to be inconsistent at first based on water-walkers being exempt— is it actually because they’re not submerged in the water even though water is explicitly visible, or was that an oversight? In any case, amphibians like water-walkers and aranoas as you mentioned would tend to have moist/mucosal skin, so I don’t believe these species extinguishing them would be confusing. And, yeah, this does maybe unintentionally set a bit of a confusing precedent regarding how much liberty new dragon species have to actively ignore lore like this. Especially since you could kind of go down a rabbit hole arguing about what other core parts of dragons aren’t technically represented in the sprite. I would argue dragon descriptions (and names) are as much a part of the dragons as their sprites are, not sprites > descriptions unless something blatantly contradicts each other. If anything, you get more information about them from descs than sprites. I don’t know, I just find it... odd that species like deep sea dragons, who even if you don’t count their descriptions, are unambiguously a deep-ocean dwelling species based on their name and design now don’t count as.... “watery” enough because their spriter didn’t have the foresight to include visible water in their sprite a decade ago.

I would like my art added to the database! Forum name: Switch Image of event token you created: Event your art was included in: ToT 2019 Brief description of treat: it's a bat in a spider teacup. the teacup is chipped to make it look a little spookier. it's not as much reference but more like very loosely inspired by fgo.

hey i’ve seen a couple people with my treat! thanks : ) wasn’t sure it got in for a bit there

thanks but that doesn’t seem to work for me at all : ( i’ve fiddled with rotation and zooming in to no avail. hopefully that works for other people at least

yeah also chiming in to say i cannot for the life of me get the check mark or undo buttons to function on my iphone’s safari

rest in peace IRC

hey guys. you hear about popular media? well, they're dragons now.

well, i would imagine he'd get in a lot more trouble for incurring the wrath of his employers than he would for treating his largely free to play userbase unfairly, so that's probably why rules enforcing things that could potentially do the former are evidently much harsher judging by how many people have been banned for them. didn't someone already say this could easily be fixed by literally just adding a line saying don't do x, y, z, etc etc, debate about how good or fair the rules are and debate about the character limit being way too short aside, i was very surprised that the feature is lacking a clear cut list of rules.

i will never forgive this game for not letting me marry the wizard (i still love harvey tho)

bruhh this game better have some good stuff if they want me to pay 60 dollars for a pokemon game with major mechanics removed

As long as they don't want 60 dollars for this thing I suppose i'll get it. It'll probably be alright to play with my sister, and if nothing else a "get my PoGo pokemon into the main series so i never have to open PoGo again" machine.

looks bad, todd.

oh the melismors are good dogs. we always need more easterns in my book.

the encyclopedia is literally just like that lol it was busted when it was made

yeah upon seeing your calculation about how long it takes to get a gold that's certainly some kind of balanced, tho the prices overall are still confusing. thank you i love him so much

well uh, more eggs are getting added in just now? including more rares? i thought the lack of rarer dragons was an attempt to keep some balance but i can't wait to be able to buy neglecteds next

i like the sprite changes overall but in regards to the reds' noggins theyre about the same size proportionally as the old sprite and it keeps with the reds being stouter looking dragons, but i think the new sprites' thinner legs unfortunately does make the head (and neck) size stand out more.

... nevermind silvers are in there too and upon closer inspection these prices are all over the place and i do not understand them at all.

it's probably because they're unbreedables, or something

oh man and i see we have yet another species of dragon whose existence revolves around being a pop culture reference eh

we neopets now boys?

yeah the gap between eggs showing up really does feel longer this time around. i thought it was just bad luck but i'm seeing a lot more posts about it. i mean it still just could be bad luck i guess.

aw thanks! :') i'm glad people remember them

you've solved my egg puzzle this is Star Catcher from gen 3 my little pony! only got the one egg in this year. couldn't think of anything else.
