Any plans to make some of the random encounters into partner Pokemon? I know some of them are pretty popular in the furry community, and I know a lot of people would like to see them as partners. Floatzel could make for some fun inflation-themed content, maybe with her getting lighter and lighter as things progress?
Sounds good! I do think the "only Gen1 Pokemon" thing is a bit too much of a limitation, there's plenty of Pokemon that could lead to some fun growth ideas beyond Gen1. In terms of the current random encounters, Lucario's Aura is always a good excuse for growth, Goodra feels like a natural target for belly growth, and Floatzel is the perfect Pokemon for inflation stuff. (What I mentioned about getting lighter as things progress miiiight just be me enjoying inflation involving helium, but still.)
