I felt similar but the only problem is the name really. I am sure there will be designer animals in the future. I don't know about battling them but at least as pets there will be genetically engineered animals. In fact we already have some such as glow in the dark fish, rats, rabbits, cats and pigs.

Do we have anywhere on the tech tree where growth and shrinking techs are discovered? Anyone know about the early Avenger from the Marvel Comics called Ant Man? Or Wasp? Or Goliath? (the first and third were the same individual, Henry Pym (sp?) who invented gasses that could shrink or grow a person. I just thought of this as the 'pocket monster' thing was brought up, a subject on which I think it may well be possible we'll see take place in the future (and perhaps mostly due to the fact that the idea WAS so popular to children as Pokemon. Could the Japanese be setting up our youth to love a projected genetic marvel they're seeking to market to the world someday?)

As far as I know that is impossible since you would have to shrink atoms too.

I just felt that Artificial Life was the appropriate point for "dial-a-lifeform" technology. I am just using them for science/entertainment/mercantile purposes, with an XP bonus from the capstone League. I am not going to suggest that there be any actual military usage from them.

Yeah, I've considered that logic but it seems like it could still be suddenly possible on some unforeseeable discovery from today's scientific outlook. I presume anything is possible via tech at some point.
But does it really fit with the vision of C2C?
I personally would be fine with just having it called Designer Pets, and removing the combat part of it.

I dont like Poketmon also in this game, but why would you remove the battle part? There are people designing Robots just to fight each other, I think there will be other people who design animals for the same reason.

Fighting robots and fighting animals are a bit different. Animal rights groups are not going to care if you fight robots. If anything it would be much easier to have say holographic animals fight each other. Real animals would probably stay as pets or as food.
I'm going to move the whole Pocket Monsters line to a modmod. That way, if you don't like it, you don't have to worry about it, but if you do want it, you can download it and add it yourself. It isn't so involved that there should be anything that can't make it fully modular; at worst, there may be a TGA file for the resource buried in the graphics, but no code will ever call for it.
Here is a TGA icon that I created for Pocket Monsters. Could someone check this and make sure I did it right? I don't think it will hurt too much if this is included in the core files and everything else Pocket-Monster-related is relegated to a modmod. This could also be used for Designer Pets if we go that route.

I'll have a look and add it to the gamefont_74 file and give you the number for the art defines file.

Actually, I was thinking of give those designed fighter animals some malus if you have green civic or something. But I think people have a bigger problem with "creating animals" than with the fighting at all.
And I also think that once robots are omnipresent and have their own "personality" there will be robot right groups as well

It looks a bit like the Guinea Pig button
FontButtonIndex is 138. I'll add the font file to the SVN shortly.

If you supress all "non-realistic" stuff, you better disable all futurist era and all alt-timeline and make a modmod from them, not only the Pocket Monster stuff...

Thanks -- it's actually a rabbit that I turned purple. I found it on a free clip art page.

When I start getting complaints from more than one person, then that means there's a real problem. I have no issue with moving stuff to modmods; it will make people happy but I won't be getting rid of anything.

For me, Pocket Monster was like Megafauna : an alt-timeline about animals. And since I m here, I already some more than one complaints about alt-timeline. I am not sure if a manga-based (Pocket Monster) idea is stupider than a "awesome" internet meme (bear riding)
