Shuffle Pokemon Locations

[wheat loom]

Shuffle the locations of Pokemon weekly or monthly so that players travel to different routes instead of just camping on the same route for a Pokemon

E.g - A route which has both arceus and rayquaza will gather more players. Good combos like this will get you more players on that particular route

Shuffling the Pokemon will give you different combos of legendary every week /month which could be interesting

Well most people won't like this you know also there is nothing really wrong with camping on a route to get a pokemon, yeah you could say seeing the same old pokemon again and again gets boring but if you really want to find the pokemon you want you gotta get through that.

Going to the same route for the same Pokemon does get boring after a point

we do already have something like that
It is called Roaming pokemons

I meant Arceus can be found at mudbray ranch for 1 week and next week it will be at route 1 for the whole 7 days
I know what roaming Pokemon are

This is pretty much Roaming Pokemon, just different time-scales on when they'd move.
I don't have a problem with the similarity to that, but there are other problems with this idea:

• Wiki location data becomes obsolete or needs updating for every single Pokemon which no one is going to do.
• Locations provided by VortexBot in the !poke command will just tell you where it now is (unless that portion was removed or it got the same treatment as Roaming Pokemon)
• Locations provided by the in-game Pokedex... ^^
• It may not be very obvious at a glance but if you look through the current spawns, Pokemon were given their location based on logic of their anatomy and likely habitat, it took a long time to organise. For example, Ponyta spawning at Mudbray Ranch or Wingull spawning along the entire southern coastline locations. While it would be possible to create entire secondary, maybe even tertiary lists of spawn locations, eventually they'd run out of logical locations as intended and what happens then? Either they're still only ever within the same places, making the movements predictable and then very soon, useless as people compile the new possible locations or they're just completely randomised, losing the "logical spawn" system we wanted and set.

In the end, what you're really asking for is for more Pokemon to be added into the "Roaming" spawn status. Which more will be added at some point, it's still a new system that was added with just the most likely/necessary candidates in the spawn pool and restricted to the Rare & Legendary spawn rarity pools but it should expand outside of this to Common spawns.
