I've looked through the rejected threads a bit and have noticed that suggestions for custom sprites and similar things have been being rejected quite recently; however, please hear me out in my suggestion, as I believe that this could add some more fun and new challenges to the site, as well as make some features on PFQ more useful! I'm sure that many of you have heard of or even played the phone app "Magikarp Jump" recently created by Pokémon. For those who don't know much about the new spin-off game, basically you are a trainer who fishes up and raises generation after generation of Magikarp, competing in various leagues to become the Magikarp jumping champion. You beat other trainers by training and feeding your Magikarp to raise its jump power, therefore being able to jump higher than opposing Magikarp. It's quite a simple, repetitive and silly game, but for those who do play it, myself included, it's safe to say that you're definitely hooked! ...no pun intended. Perhaps the most notable feature of this game is the wide variety of Magikarp patterns that you can fish up. Some patterns are more rare than others and some can only be fished up with better rods. Aside from beating all the leagues, another goal of the game is to fill up your Pattern Dex. This is where my suggestion comes in: Introduce these Magikarp patterns and make them obtainable through the Fishing Hut. The Fishing Hut can be helpful if you're a player trying to fill up your PokéDex, hoard water-types, want fodder to upgrade your water-type Gemwish Badge, or just happen to enjoy the feature. However, for most players including myself, the Fishing Hut is just outright boring and useless. By adding these Magikarp patterns to the game and making them obtainable through fishing, the Fishing Hut would definitely become a more fun and excitable feature to use! Of course, implementing these patterns into the game could possibly affect the gameplay in multiple ways: Breeding, Magikarp's PokéDex entry, and Magikarp's appearance as it levels up. Patterns could simply be passed down from the parents, certain patterns could be bred similar to how Unown letters/symbols are bred, or they could be completely random like the color of Flabébé's flower and not affect dex completion. In regards to Magikarp's appearance as it levels up, this is a function in Magikarp Jump: Your Magikarp starts out small when it's first fished up, and when it reaches a certain level it grows to medium-size, and then finally, it grows to its largest size. Once it reaches this large size, its pattern finally becomes clear and is then added to the Pattern Dex. This could be a progressive thing as Magikarp levels up, just as Vulpix grows its tails as it levels up. Or, to make things much simpler for collection, coding and spriting purposes, their patterns could already be clear from being caught/hatched. I'd say it's up to the staff on that! :) However these Magikarp patterns affect overall gameplay, I'm positive that this would be a great addition to PFQ. The Fishing Hut would definitely be used by more players. And for those with their beautiful collections of every Vivillon pattern, every Unown from A-Z (plus ! and ? of course), and every Flabébé flower in rainbow order (plus Floette and Florges if you're hardcore), obtaining every Magikarp pattern will of course be a whole new fun and difficult challenge. Thank you for reading and I hope you support my idea! If not, please do comment your criticism!
