I had an idea to change breeding.

What if there was an item, yeah? Let's call it an incubator.

It goes in the key items slot and can be set to on or off.

And, if you have only a single egg in your party, it takes longer to hatch.

That's right, longer.

Like, a lot longer.

The benefit? The pokemon being born from the egg has perfect IVs.

The idea here is that you receive this item early in the game along with running into a few pokemon that are good candidates for breeding.

You get your egg and you go. You don't sit around riding your bike back and forth for hours, you continue on your damn adventure.

I don't know how many steps it would take, but it would be set so an incubated egg would hatch a good way through the game, maybe after the sixth badge or something.

You're rewarded for playing pokemon, not bike sim 2013.

Thoughts?
