>>53786562and my starter was shit
fucking modest aron with sub-50% IVs
actually I don't remember the specifics besides trying to rush getting anything in the monster egg group to breed a replacement, with no success
last year's server was also the second time I ever played pixelmon since gen 6
honestly I think we should have a public poll to nominate starters, with the following conditions:
1. must be able to evolve
2. it may not be a legendary (this is redundant with condition 1, but it'll stop people from getting free solgaleos/lunalas as their starter)
additionally, to satisfy monotype autists, there should be at least one starter line of each type
>>53786571yeah now that I think about it, maybe restrict minimum IVs to the following:
primary stats (the ones you'd dump EVs in for general purpose 252/252/4 EV spreads, for defensive pokemon, this would be HP and the second highest base stat. for offensive pokemon, this would be the attacking stat and the speed stat. for mixed attackers, it'd prioritize whatever stat is boosted by the nature, or it'll pick a random attacking stat): 31
secondary stats (ones that are useful, but not critically important to the pokemon's performance): 15+
dump stats (unused attacking stat on non-mixed attackers, or speed stat on pokemon way too slow for it to matter anyways): no IV floor
TL;DR:
>make the most important 2 stats have perfect IVs>make the least important or unused stats have completely random IVs>give everything else a 15 IV floorit'd probably just be simpler to give starters fixed IV spreads and nature based on species, however. maybe use this simpler idea instead of my parenthesis gore suggestion.
