Plans for Manaphy - Need your opinions

Thanks for your input everyone!

It looks like most of you are willing to trust me with this plan and you've given me some good ideas to make it work too.

I might actually start writing her section next while all these suggestions are fresh in my head

i like the idea

I like this concept, my thoughts are that with mewtwo being so attached to the Mc, there's a psychic link, so if she tries to "read" the egg, the link may impact the manaphy inside, taking aspects of their personality or maybe just having them jump from maturity. Shit, they could just be talking to the MC from the egg at the start of the chapter, whi would then hatch once all the pokemon in the chapter are obtained, so there's a rapid progression in maturity.

With the link, she can use the mc's senses to perceive the world while in the egg, maybe occasionally take control of limbs for comedic effect, like making the intrusive thoughts win.

Regardless of what you choose to do, I'll support you all the way homie.

You could make it so the manaphy is just injured and in a special portable healing station type backpack. That way you could still do the protection bit, and get some bonding done. 

If you have Manaphy be affectionate, coy and playful in the beginning having essentially gone through childhood while in the egg it could work. 

For example she can learn to talk from hearing your voice from within the egg and then have the hatching be more like an evolution. You could have her go through her first heat and let her natural breeding instinct make her obviously mature. 

Instinct could be used to show maturity and dehumanise Manaphy enough to not have it be uncomfortable. 

The Idea of beeing able to sleep with your own (The MCs) children from Manaphy/younger Manaphies, is an interesting one that I could See you making into an interesting Mini-Game and a new interesting way to play the game and get some new images. 

In total I don't really care about the fact that the new Manaphies are related to MC and OG-Manaphy, but this will make a good amount of people pissed of, but this can easily be prevented by making these scenes optional/adding a setting to disable them.

Well it really depens which context you give it I guess.

The idea itself is okay in my eyes and if explained well enough no problem on my side.

That might add to the problem, but I would still argue to not make her super intelligent and while not baby, maybe at least a little child like in mind.

That should not create that you and the child kinda content, just....I guess if she just hatched, everything should be new to her or most things. Sorry if that somehow came out weird.

Maybe every scene gives her a jump in her intelligent, quickly absorbing information or something like that.

Long story short, depending on what you are planning, for me it's mostly about how it's written or explained, I remember some really .....weird incest based scenes in fanfictions that suprised me when they appeared. 

So far I would trust you with it. 

I guess with what was that wish pokemon named again? If they are a bit to human looking it doesn't look like a pokemon to me anymore, I guess that was my problem last time if my memory is right.

I wrote my predictions before seeing this lol. 

I'm not sure I'm on board mainly because it makes Manaphy FEEL like a kid (I know the fully grown thing but the feeling of her being a kid would be hard to ignore) and I'm not sure about that being the best move.  I guess there is also the other issue of the fact a Manaphy egg is supposed to be theoretically impossible in the mechanics of Pokémon. You mentioned before the Phione detail and how you ran on the idea that maybe the MC can make Manaphy lay eggs other then Phione.  

For alternatives, I do think the idea of forming a mental bond with it during the process as other commenters are saying would go along way to get rid of the kid feeling that is my more pressing concern. 

I also am onboard with the idea of replacing Manaphy with the Sea Guardians and to bring in Phione to do a mom-daughter scene the potential is right there. (this alt would work better if my prediction was right also) 

I will admit an issue with bringing in Phione is that they will potentially look too similar to Manaphy and possibly mess with the generator.  But it will also prevent the potential comments of people going "Where is Phione?" after the chaptor is released.

Perhaps a later Pokémon could be used to attempt the single stage egg hatch idea though I will admit there doesn't seem to be many candidates as good as Manaphy for this. 

Overall, I get your idea but I feel there are wrinkles to iron out with this being a breeding porn game. There is a line and while this doesn't necessarily cross it, it does get a tad close for comfort.  

Mental bonding sounds like a good middle ground, perhaps fascilitated by one of the psychics in the harem, maybe Mew?

i can see a mother daughter scene

Perhaps you can show them bonding mentally while still in the egg so when it hatches it shows mental maturity

I think there should be a little more bonding where Manaphy expresses their love before they join the Harem.
