I'm brainstorming ideas for the FireRed hack I want to make for my arcade machines, which is pretty much just Red/Green/Blue with updated visuals and gameplay designed for a completely single-player experience.
One of the hurdles to figure out has been breeding. Breeding is available in the stock game in the Sevii Islands, but I don't want to include the Sevii islands. I actually don't want to include breeding at all because a major part of the Gen II storyline is the discovery of Pokemon eggs and baby forms. At the same time, I'd still like to get the benefits from breeding.
The thought I had is a cloning machine at the Cinnabar Lab. For a price a scientist at the lab will clone your Pokemon, getting you a level Lvl 1 with three random IVs inherited from the original. At certain intervals the machine is upgraded, giving you more control over the resulting Pokemon's IVs and nature and maybe even incorporating egg moves. Maybe a rare clone would be born holding a Berserk Gene, and if a Pokemon holding the Berserk Gene is cloned the clone will have perfect IVs and stuff.
What do you guys think?
