The FOB (Kevin Estate) (Ready for Review)

[Marchbaby]

Estate name: The FOB (Forward Operating Base)
Location: Abandoned Suburb of Goldenrod City
Entrance Requirement: Fog Badge

Estate Image:



Estate Description: A small surveillance base built in an abandoned neighborhood in Goldenrod City. 4 large buildings one with a radio tower and 3 with satellite dishes along with a small park in the center of the buildings allow it to remain less suspicious despite being built so close to a populated area. The buildings are in a state of disrepair after years of neglect as the base has not been used in a number of years. There is also a small pond behind the communications building that is home to a number of water type Pokemon.


Estate Locations:

Decrepit Park: This run down park has seen better days, with the base becoming activated once more Kevin has started to turn the park into a garden to try and help restore it into less of an eyesore.

Berry Growing, Apricorn Trees, and Honey tree

Arsenal: (Private Room to be worked on at a later date.)

Okie dokes! This has been waiting for far too long so let me just get right into here...


First thing, a Welcome/Intro thread is required detailing the owner/residents, features, restrictions, etc. You can see the Pkmn Mansion for simple example. Now onto the bigger stuff.


Comm Building

1. Purrloin is an SOS in Ilex so it should be either behind more barriers or in at minimum a Rare encounter. Being the current entry level is just having reached GRod that means its the same level of progress as Ilex so it shouldn't be so drastically easier to use your estate versus the SOS. Even at Rare it's still more likely to appear, but it's only T1 so that should be fine.
   

Target Range & Barracks

Look perfect!



Mess Hall

1. I'm on the fence about Venipede as it's nearly the same level of difficulty as Purrloin. It is a 1/5 in the BCC, but that's only available twice a year and you're rather unlikely to get it even if you roll a 1/5 encounter. Otherwise it's an SOS in Ilex.
   
   Would you have any requirements for getting to the Mess Hall? Some little extra barrier/work to get there would probably be enough. I dunno, up for discussion on that one as it's really on the fence for competing ease-of-availability.
   

Freshwater Lake

1. Lookin' great! Just clamperl might need a bit extra since it's still a rare even on route 41. Maybe a 1/8 rarity and slightly higher fishing level required? That'd prolly do it.

I totally forgot I never got around to finishing this. I replaced Purrloin with Hoothoot as I believe it is not super rare in the early areas and by Goldenrod I think common should be ok. I also raised Venipede and Nincada to (1/5) rarity to match it's BCC rarity as unlike the BCC it does require reaching Grod though it still does make the SOS encounter a bit less special I do hope it is ok though I am fine with changing it if need be. Finally I increased the finishing level to 25 with (1/8) rarity for Clamperl to try and make it a bit harder to get and not make the wild encounter totally pointless. If everything else looks good I will get to work on the welcome/info thread as that will be no trouble at all to do.

[Marchbaby]

Bumping this as I now how the money to pay for it. I increased the entry requirement to the Fog badge to help balance out a few of the encounters and to not totally devalue wild encounters while also being a bit more lenient than March's estate.
