Extended FAQ: Items

FINDING AND USING ITEMS


SPECIFIC ITEMS



Eggs:
Shinies look no different.
Fire Eggs: Pokémon with the ability Flame Body or Magma Armor cut the time it takes to hatch an egg in half! But fire-types without this ability don't have much of an effect on the eggs - they can take a day or two off the hatching time at most.
On boiling them: The pokemon would be fine once hatched, but your hands might not be when you touch it.


Food:
Pokémon and their eggs cannot be eaten by humans. The skin is as tough as rocks and cannot be broken by teeth or weaponry (which you shouldn't be in possession of anyway).


For Pokémon:
Pokémon can eat other pokémon, and pokemon eggs as part of a balanced diet. However, pokémon that have been caught or hatched by humans will lose the impetus to hunt in the wild, and they are very averse to eating other trained pokémon. Letting one's pokemon eat another trainer's is passable with a hefty fine and one month's jail time.

They can eat anything that humans can eat, as long as it's biologically appropriate (a Growlithe probably wouldn't snack on an ear of corn for pleasure); they can also eat wild grass and berries with no problems. Steel-types can eat metal and ores from stones found on Routes or low-grade metals bought in scrapyards. Poffins and pokeblocks also make effective treats.

Wild pokémon can attack humans for food, but this is very rare, as humans are considered to be the world's apex predator.

Pokemon larger than an average human adult are not permitted inside public eateries. Like children, they are expected to behave and not bother other patrons.


The Effects of Pokemon-Produced Food on the standard human:
Miltank milk, water from Squirtle - both of these may make you ill the first few times you drink them, loaded with whatever bacteria your pokémon may have picked up naturally, unless you boil them first to purify them.
Paras' mushrooms - can be cultivated and eaten. Ingesting a mushroom held by a wild Paras will result in many intoxication-like symptoms, such as increased heart rate and energy, temporary vision changes (i.e. things will become brighter, softer, bolder in color, etc.), hallucinations, and muscle relaxation. It lasts anywhere between three hours and three days. The more taken, the stronger and longer the effects.



Games:
    Via PokéGear:
Angry Spearow, Asteroid, Five Nights at Fatina's, Oregon Kanto Discovery Trail, Robot Rapidash Attack, Solitaire, Sushi Skitty.


Incense: They're merely exotic-smelling sticks sold by the bundle with no purpose except to bring in fun scents. In-game they were used to help breed smaller forms, however breeding pokémon in Route will get you the baby form automatically.

Radios: Radios exist, in all shapes and sizes. There is even an app on the Gear containing [*]stations. When the music isn't playing, the other music is playing.

Trainer Gear and PokéDex: Please see the PokéGear page for more information.


Weapons: There are practice weapons you can find in the department stores, but you can't take them from home or receive any during an item drop.
You're still not allowed to possess any guns, pocket knives, switchblades, magical demon hunting sorcerer equipment, etc.
Regarding Crafting Knives (cooking, wood-carving, and the like): One can possess a knife sharp enough to be used for a tool of the trade; however, it'll dull much faster than it ought to, so your character will have a more tedious process of accomplishing the same carving because they'll have to keep stopping to resharpen the blade, and the knife will probably break sooner than they're used to.
Creating tools is alright in terms of hammers and whittling devices (though they'll most likely be less sharp than normal), and practice sparring tools (those made of plastic and wood, like wooden swords) are also alright.
