"[Discussion] Looking forward to Gen 4: the Mime Jr. problem"


#PokemonGO: I know Gen 3 just came out (and isn't fully out) but at the rate of Generation releases we should be seeing Gen 4 sometime late next year. Gen 4 should bring out some meta shifts and make use of a lot of saved up candy on currently useless Pokemon (looking at you Murkrow). But thinking ahead, I realized Mime Jr. is going to be a huge problem in terms of regional pokemon.For those who don't know, Mime Jr. is a psychic/fairy baby pokemon which evolves into Mr. Mime. obviously Mr. Mime is the European region exclusive pokemon, which creates some problems. If Mime Jr. also became a region exclusive, it would mist likely be in an egg (as it's a baby pokemon) which means it would be extremely difficult to obtain outside of Europe, as travelers would rely on freeing up egg slots, spinning for eggs and then hatching them, which would be very frustrating if you traveled around the world and couldn't catch it. The only way to combat this would be to make it very common, which would annoy the hell out of European players who probably have far too much spare Mr. Mime candies. No other current regionals have any evolution/pre evolution, except a couple mega evolution in Gen 6, but who knows how these will be incorporated into the game.The other baby Pokemon in Gen are Bonsly (Sudowoodo), Happiny (Chansey) and Budew (Roselia - although technically it's not a baby Pokemon just an unreleased preevolution). Niantic could make these regional, but that would cause the same issues as with Mime Jr., except worse as Happiny is likley to be in a 10k egg and whatever region gets that has a good advantage as it actually evolves into a useful pokemon.This leads me to think perhaps eventually the Gen 1 regionals may no longer be regional soon, or at least events like the safari and recent Farfetch'd will become more common. This would satisfy the player base, help solve the problem with Mr. Mime and Mime Jr. and generally be good for the game. It's likely we'll get more region exclusives in Gen 3 and 4 anyway, so making some global would be nice.I know this was just a random chain of thoughts, but I'm interested to hear what you think will change in future generations, and specifically what will happen with Mime Jr. via /r/pokemongo http://ift.tt/2Cbjrht
