Hey all! As you likely know by now (unless you're super new, in which case, yo) Kattu's leaving the game meant the Breeding Centre (still @ [community profile] breedingcentre!) changed hands. Before she left, she commissioned codes to make the Centre's pages look super spiffy; I've been in the process of updating them since she left, actually. And now they're done! Clicking the username above will net you the comm, which has a nav post now, stickied to the top. Hopefully you guys find this format easy to navigate (it does seem rather easier to read!!) because we are never changing codes ever again unless someone else codes it, probably. I've also updated pretty much every page so everything should be linking and working properly and have up-to-date information.

For those of you who are new enough not to know what the BC is, there's an FAQ as well, but basically it's a player-run business (located in Goldenrod and Celadon both, currently, though they deliver everywhere) wherein one can buy eggs (or donate them, if breeders don't sell all of theirs, or sell them to the centre) and/or adopt pokemon from the foster home (or leave their pokemon there if they decide they no longer want them, but don't want to set them free).

In addition to redoing the codes, I also restocked the centre, which is part of why it took extra long (...well, plus it's like 2 months' worth of updates uh. Outside of adding stock to getting-low egg groups, the main changes are as follows:
PHASED OUT: Castform, Happiny, Lunatone

RESTOCKED FROM ZERO: Axew, Cubone, Eevee, Girafarig, Igglybuff, Litwick, Onix, Oshawott, Skitty, Squirtle

ADDED: Aerodactyl, Anorith, Archen, Beldam, Chimchar, Ditto, Elekid, Growlithe, Hippopotas, Kangaskhan, Karrablast, Lapras, Magby, Manky, Miltank, Misdreavus, Munchlax, Nidoran (M), Omanyte, Pidgey, Relicanth, Shelmet, Shieldon, Tirtouga, Trapinch, Turtwig, Tyrogue, Yamask
I'd also like to briefly say that the BC does have shinies in the egg stock (batches are added like usual batches, so if rng is in favor of it, they're duly added in). So you might get a surprise at some point! We actually have quite a few in circulation right now.

And then more to a useful point: the BC will be doing a month-long thing for the rest of December (which I think we did something similar last year, but I can't recall)! Or, well, three things. First of all, up until Christmas all purchases with net double points (the points system, for those who don't know, lets you trade in for certain things). Secondly, there's a buy one get one free promotion all month (the lesser priced egg is the free one, no *'d eggs can be the free egg, but otherwise whatever), and everything bought will be giftwrapped free of charge. And they do deliver pretty much wherever, so. :|b

And that's really it! Although Aradia will be doing a post pretty much right after this re: the centre and stuff, because icly they lost a lot of employees. OOCly I think that the two people here are okay for now, though if anyone was interested in their characters working at the centre, we'd be happy to have more ic call answering people; if you're interested, hit up her post or this post and I will be more than happy to accommodate you.

Speaking of, I did go through and clean up the available eggs comment pages; I did not and never will delete any of the ic request threads, but I got rid of the older ooc ones just for neatness' sake. And that's it for real now! Thanks!!

EDIT: It occurs to be the employee page might be of some use here. There's even a form to apply at the bottom.

Iiii have no idea if it got officially recorded anywhere since it's not technically but Geddoe's been working at the Foster Home for several months now.

....although he might decide to go wander off soon anyway because he's been in one place a long time. :|a WE'LL SEE. XD

Oh, and I just noticed, but Cradily is an evolved pokemon, it should be Lileep.

Uh, I'm sorry for pointing this out, but I don't think Ditto can have eggs.

I recall that Ditto eggs in Gen II, actually, was a glitch. Because the programming was just like Ditto make all the eggs with every egg group but un-breedable, and they forgot to get rid of the Ditto Egg Group in there. So Ditto could breed with each other back then.
Which was actually a good method of getting the right stats for a Shiny in Gen II, but I'll stop blabbing now.

/whoops i nerded out on pokemon
