The idea of having debate every single that was already established annoys me. As you can tell Jacob and I disagreed and this is why he felt it should go here. I for one do not think this is appropriate because I said to him shortly before getting directed here. When I joined on to the wfl I may have helped out but I didn't change rules clearly established on my valuation (not sure that spelled right).

This issue is as clear as what gcea stands for. In 2012 or 2011 when gcea was created the goal was to catch them all. Directly after the game was created a system was made to challenge the players. One of the basic rules that all gcea have followed was that pokemom that are part of the rp pokedex are not to be gifted or given out freely.

The pokemon in the dex are off limits to things such as events(writing or drawing), they are not in the lotto nore are im any other random event. This includes bday unlocks. Exception being your actual bday because we felt like this was a once a year event.

The pokemon are directly connected to unlocks so there is a direct consequence to randomly giving pokemon. Any pokom randomly given could create an unfair advantage for one player or another. To maintain the integrity of the game this minor as it seems rule keep gcea honest.

Now if you are in the new version of the gcea, jacob slightly changed the way pokemon appear without even discussing it. The rng was not meant to have a nothing happens option. Everyone is suppose to find a pokemon or very very rarely find an item. That system needs to be adjust or it will throw off the balance of pokemon on teams. I only bring that up because i feel it has directly lead to this.
