Have you ever hatched a super rare pokemon - say a shiny - but it didn't have the specific nature or gender you wanted? Pokemon Modifiers would be able to fix that.

In short, Pokemon Modifiers would edit different aspects of a pokemon. Some of these would include Nature, Gender, Mega Evolution (ex. Mega-Able Charizard X to Mega-Able Charizard Y and vice versa, but not Charizard to Mega-Able Charizard), Form without item (ex. Shaymin to Sky Shaymin, but you could also switch between Rotom or Castform forms), and possibly more.

These items would cost high amounts of Nuggets (as in more than Flutes), especially Mega Evolution and Gender. They would be one-use items and cannot be held by Pokemon to trade. Each Modifier would be a single item, but could possibly be bought in packs.

EDIT: Pokemon who have been Modified should have a special icon to signify that they have been edited. They should not be aloud to be placed into Auction to be bid on and should not be able to be put into Wonder Trade.

Note: I will not be surprised if this receives mostly negative feedback, but this is my first suggestion and a pretty bold one at that. I'd love to hear your feedback and suggestions! Thank you!

I don't think this is a good idea. Yes it would be easier with stuff like shiny megas but It doesn't sound like it would work well. No support.

Edit: I think it's been suggested a long time ago as well.

While this would be cool to have, I feel like all it would do is make the game way easier, even if it costs a lot. It would give players who have the ability to buy nuggets a huge advantage and lower the value of certain Pokémon or items.

A_Wild_Charizard makes a good point.

For example combee. The male shiny is worth more than the female. So users could take advantage of this.

Thank you for bringing that to my attention. I seriously have no idea how I didn't think of the "economy" on here..

well maybe make it so that if you change their gender it costs (low amout of PD or nuggets) and with mega ableness make it like (1,000,000 PD or 1000 nuggets) but still no support

@EeveeLove:

There is no actual shiny/Mega Able converter, only a Mega Able version swap.

No support

- This would make this game far too easy

- This would negate the whole purpose of gender chances.

- This would negate having forme changing items.

- I would like to use the saying "you get what you get and you don't throw a fit" for the nature, gender and mega forme part of this suggestion. Just like in the Pokemon games you are stuck with a certain gender and nature, we shouldn't change that here. You could just shiny hunt the Pokemon again if you are not satisfied.

- This is something not available in normal Pokemon games, except through hacking, and having this would seem like we are cheating the system.

I support it! I don't think it will damage the economy because only in the case of shiny megas will be worth it to use it unless the pokemon has a high sentimental value/level if the item is expensive and costs nuggets. If it was expensive, and if the Pokémon was relatively common like a shiny or a mega-able, it would probably be cheaper to hunt it again.

@Twin The nature thing can be manipulated with the use on everstones on the parents of the egg in the real games, which cannot be used on PH. And why does it make the game easy? And what's the purpose of gender? to not have the gender you want? And what happens if it's not on the GF games? There isn't anything like puzzles, royal tunnel and honeycombs on the Game Freak games.

@Gaspoo

- Then why not just implement the everstone feature? Why have a separate item used to change the nature?
- As to why it would make the game easier, this is explained in previous posts.
Quote from PrincessFor example combee. The male shiny is worth more than the female. So users could take advantage of this.

Expanding on this by stating the fact that only male Combees can be used on the honeycombs.
Some genders are worth more, some natures are better equipped for battling w/ certain Pokemon etc.
- Gender chances are a thing, I don't know the purpose for it, but it still is. Female eevees are worth more than males because of the chances.
- Puzzles are a mere collectible to make this site more fun. There is nothing more to puzzles than just finding them on random pages.
- Royal Tunnel is a game used to collect gems and have a way to get the regi trio. It's merely a game, no details or specifics other than playing the game and getting regi eggs.
- Honeycombs provide another way to get honey with use of combee.
All three are very simple, and just an added feature to make the game more enjoyable.

I would not find modifiers enjoyable, and that's why I don't support this.


EDIT:
And trust me, if you ever hatch a shiny mega, the last thing on your mind will be "oh I didn't want this nature ))))):"

@Twin

I suggested the everstone feature a long time ago and the suggestion died :c (mostly because the 'argument' that PH is an adoptable site, not a battling site)

Well, I don't agree that the shiny combee is a valid example of making the game easier, the females combees are much rarer, and again, it would be cheaper to hunt the Combee again than buying the modifier.

The thing is that I think that the modifier will mostly be useful for Pokémon with a sentimental value, not for usefullness (because it should be expensive).

And I know what those examples are used for, my point was that those aren't features from the Game Freak games, so the argument that 'it isn't on the original games' wouldn't be valid.

And trust me, if I could hatch the Shiny Mega-Able I've been hunting since forever with a Modest nature, I will do whatever is in my hands, even paying 2k nuggets. I'm being serious. And I hatched a Modest regular mega-able around chain #2000, so I think something should be done about that.

I see why you aren't supporting this, just because you don't like it (and that's completely fine), but that doesn't mean it's bad or game-breaking.

Although it would be cool if it is implanted, I would stay on the negative side.

We all know something in PH needs money in real life, yes. Is it unfair? Yes, without calculating about the amount of money.

If this is implanted, it would make users feel more unfair towards these who pay. Since people who pays for the game, can laterally gets every pokemon they want, besides, this would make the price of shinies and megas (and shiny-megas) change. So well......
