Game Pacing & Career Paths:

Thank you for keeping the game 1:1. I'm not a fan of 2:1 and agree that making events bi-monthly will likely fix a lot of the pacing issues for a game like VR.

I also think your ideas for switching up career paths sound very exciting and I'm looking forward to seeing the finalised version.

Characters Being Too Far Apart:

As far as characters being too far apart, could making warps accessible to everyone from the get go help? The big issue I see with this is that it would mean characters would have immediate access to higher level Pokémon, but honestly it might be worth the trade off to make it easier to justify being able to jump in on in-person logs regardless of where your character is on their journey or normally spends their time.

If levels are a concern then wild Pokémon strength could be altered so it's based on the length of time a character has been in game instead of being location based. Since this would create additional work for the mods I'd totally get why you might not want to take this route, but it's a possibility. It may also work to make warps accessible after a certain period of time in game instead.

Another thought I had was that while it makes sense not to be able to warp to, say, the Indigo Plateau, that's not the case with all locations that aren't currently warpable. Maybe warps could be added to places like the starter towns and Sevii Islands.

Preferred Rewards:

I definitely understand why special Pokémon grabbed the top tier and why mechanical were least popular, but as a player with a character who's been here for over two years now I'm starting to become picky with which Pokémon I want to add to Min's team. This isn't necessarily the case for everyone, but there are Pokémon of his I don't showcase as much as I'd like to so I try to be more selective now. At the very least for events like Christmas where we usually get a choice of rewards I hope mechanical rewards will still be an option in addition to eggs.

Please don't take this as me asking for Pokémon not to be a common top-tier reward though! It's clearly in demand and I can happily sit back and watch other people have their fun. I do think the egg rolls for the current event are very cute even if I'm probably not going to take you guys up on it myself.
