So, I was thinking, since most events (legendary Pokémon distributions such as Kyurem/event distributions) encourage the use of berries, doesn't this mean that interacting with eggs is technically discouraged, leading to slower hatching? So uhm anyway I feel since there already is kind of 'berries' for eggs on the index- page (the ribbon thing), it could be introduced to clicklists similar to berries. It would have the same effect as berries (more ehp and pd), and would also encourage warming eggs during event distributions.

Another thing is when I am clicking, I usually opt for the online list so that I can actually get clicks in return. And when I do this, I like to use berries for the extra pd :) But after a while it switches to eggs, and my clicking is disrupted. The ribbon thing should be in roughly the same spot as the berries.

That's about it. I think there has been another suggestion to put berries higher up so that my second issue is resolved. But anyway I feel this feature would be nice. What do y'all think?

Great idea, but how would it make sense lore-wise? If the scarves are used, where would they come from? Would it be similar to the Miltank/Combee, but for cotton/wool/silk? I’m thinking for cotton, we could use Cottonee/Whimmsicott/Eldegoss, wool could be Wooloo/Mareep/Flaaffy, and silk from Tarountula/Spinarak, + a Leavanny to stitch it together. Maybe you leave an Eldegoss, Wooloo, Spinarak, and Leavanny at a farm of sorts, and the scarves are produced.

Though, they should be less than or equal to the price of berries, to incentivise people to use them, so they need to be ~2PD each. Or, they could be worth more, but they give more PD when used.

Dex descriptions:
Show hidden content
“Eldegoss's cotton fluff acts like a cushion to protect its head from attacks. The cotton can also be spun into a glossy, gorgeous yarn that is a specialty in Galar.”

“It is said that the seeds inside Eldegoss's cotton fluff is highly nutritious and beneficial for people and Pokémon. Eldegoss spreads the seeds by wind, enriching the soil with nutrients wherever these seeds land.”

“Cottonee's cotton is used to manufacture top-quality pillows and beds that are soft, puffy, light, and airy.”

“When Cottonee's cotton is weaved together with Eldegoss's cotton, it makes a cloth that is popular with many luxury brands.”

“Whimsicott likes to spend time in the sunlight in order to grow its cotton, though it will tear off and scatter the cotton should it start to build up too much.”

“Wooloo's fleece is extremely fluffy and can serve as a cushion, allowing it to survive even a fall from a cliff without any injuries. Its fur grows continuously, being able to fully grow back in just three months after it is completely shaved. The fur is a specialty product in Galar, being used for clothing and carpets; the clothing made from Wooloo's wool has a remarkable strength.“

“Mareep's wool grows continuously and stores electricity, rubbing together and building a static charge. Its volume increases when it builds up with electricity. Touching the wool when it is charged will result in a static shock. During the summer, the fleece is shed, but it grows back in a week. Air is also stored in its fur, which allows it to stay cool during summer and warm during winter.
it can also be found in farms where its wool is used to make high-quality clothing. Clothing made from Mareep's wool builds up static electricity easily, and as such, a special process has to be used on it.”

“Storing too much electricity caused Flaaffy to lose the wool over most of its body, but the bare, rubbery skin protects it from the electricity stored in its fleece. The quality of Flaaffy's fleece can change to generate more electricity with less wool. Flaaffy typically inhabits grassy meadows and fields, though it can also be found in farms, where its wool is used to create high-quality clothing.”

“Sewaddle makes itself leafy clothes using chewed-up leaves and a thread-like substance it produces from its mouth”

“Leavanny is very parental and uses its cutters and the sticky silk it produces to create clothing made of leaves for small Pokémon. Leavanny is known to make warm wrappings for young Sewaddle. It also warms its eggs with fermenting fallen leaves”

“Tarountula’s thread is elastic and strong as wire, being able to deflect even the attacks of its natural enemy, Scyther. Research into the secret behind the thread's strength is currently ongoing.”

“As seen in the Pokémon the Series episode Hassle in the Castle, silk produced by a Spinarak can be used for facial treatments, as well as patching up skin wounds.”

I agree with how you need to obtain the items for warming the egg even more. But heres a quick question for Binks. Does that mean that we use a new item that is obtained from the route 53 farm thingy? Or do you mean that we combine those item to make one scarf?

@KARUbin
No, they’d be directly obtained from the Route 53 place. Similar to how with Honey and Moomoo milk, you don’t have to make the jars/bottles, or pasteurise it.

Another option would be that you have to collect the items from each pokemon, and give them to the Leavanny. But that’d be a bit confusing knowing what amounts of items you have.



Also, some balancing factors:
To be effective, we’d need a lot of scarves to be produced. pokemon labour
This means they shouldn’t be tradable, since they are ‘free’ to produce. (The other option would be you have to pay X PD/Berries per day, similar to the Daycare/Ranch)
If they aren’t tradable, there should be a limit of 25k that can be held in your bag.
They get produced at a rate of 1k per hour, so a maximum of 24k per day.
The max storage capacity at the farm is 1k, so you have to keep claiming+using the scarves.
The PD earned from using scarves would have to be less than berries, since these are free to obtain. (Unless you have to deposit PD/berries to get them) (The overall profit should be similar to berries)

Additional features:
When interacting, the scarves would be of a random colour, similar to the index page.
Having all 4 Pokémon shiny could either:
- produce scarves faster, at a rate of 1250/1500 per hour
- be of better quality (‘___ Scarf’, maybe ‘Super Scarf’), and give more EHP to eggs (1.25/1.5x more)



Also, note that this is just one possibility, if anyone has other ideas, comment on the thread.

Then I think it's a very good idea since that means that you need to farm something from the farm to get wools, silk, etc. But how much will they produce tho? Combee produces 3 honey each after a few hour, miltanks produces 5, if the let's say wooloo, only produces 5 wools for a couple hour, it will be a bit hard to obtain. Any idea on how many wools it should give?

I think the most balanced way* to implement this is to add a new npc, probably on route 53, who will trade berries for scarves (plus itd be WAY easier to do that than to add a whole new feature) though if it is going to be a new farm area on route 53, I would recommend using Tarountula to show some new Paldean mons some love and because they already make silk canonically.
*Berries are very easy to obtain, so if the point is to make it equally profitable to click eggs, it should stand to reason trading them over (I would say at a 1:1 ratio, but as someone who frequently grinds the berry garden I'd say it doesn't even matter if it's 2:1 since berries are VERY easy to obtain at a rate much faster than you will use) for scarves would accomplish this
Also canonically eggs just need warmth and attention, and scarves symbolize both these things, so I think it fits, quite well even
Definitely support the idea of a berry equivalent for eggs, since hatching eggs is more stressed and more useful than training mons on this site anywho
I'm still not entirely sure what the full list of effects/benefits from berry-clicking even is. I find it quite odd that there is a whole blurb on interacting on the union room, but it only says that it also gives exp points (somewhat implying that it does the same thing as normally interaction, though it is quite easy to extrapolate that this is not the case) (if there's a list/forum post out there on this, could someone direct me there? Much appreciated)
Wait actually reading some of the replies why didn't I do that first having it stocked with berries but needing mons to increase the rate scarves are produced and having it be 1 berry to 1 scarf is probably the most balanced logical way I really should read all the input before making my input
