My Pokemon Ranch: What do we know?

If that's true that I can add more pokemon on a daily basis, then I'm more than satisfied. Here's the order I intend to transfer:

1. retired pokemon such as my in-game party pokemon I didn't want to part with, first pokemon caught in-game, first EV trained garchomp, palkia, dialga, etc...

2. shiny pokemon which I rendered as trophy pokemon anyways

This ought to be interesting for the next several days for starters.

But I think you can fill up the maximum ranch level every day. By depositing 20, you unlock the level that can hold 50; by depositing those 50, you unlock 100 and so on.

I don't see anything that says 20 per day, though.

This is how I think it works. The ranch works on a day cycle, so it grows once you hit certain levels on the following day. Assuming that is true, it looks like we'll be able to hit the maximum level of 1000 pokemon in 20 days and get that Mew. Assuming this is true, the first legit Ranch Mews should be obtainable on the 28th of this month.

EDIT: Actually, this is assuming the ranch can only go up one level per day. Assuming that the level can increase directly with the number of pokemon transferred over, the ranch could hit the maximum level much more quickly. If that is correct then we could see this progression:

Day 1: Add 20 pokemon
Day 2: Ranch goes up to Level 5
........ Add to 50 total pokemon
Day 3: Ranch goes up to Level 8
........ Add to 100 total pokemon
Day 4: Ranch goes up to Level 11
........ Add to 250 total pokemon
Day 5: Ranch goes up to Level 15
........ Add to 500 total pokemon
Day 6: Ranch goes up to Level 20
........ Add to 1000 total pokemon
Day 7: Ranch goes up to Level 25
........ Trade for Mew

This is, of course, assuming that you get to pick Mew from his trades. If that is true, then the first legit Mews should be popping up as early as the 15th or 16th. Wash, rinse and repeat and we could have a wide variety of Ranch Mews available for trade by the end of the month.
 
I'm just hoping that this:

As such, there are different levels of the Ranch and as you input more Pokémon in, it will automatically grow to be the bigger size.

Means that it will be instant.

Oh well, we'll find out in a few minutes I guess :/
 
I won't be able to download for about another 6 hours when I get home so any feedback posted here should be gratefully appreciated. I'm just happy that it came out today at least as I was starting to predict it would be next Monday as I was telling others on Instant Messenger. I'm sure Gin & jimbo422 are jumping with glee now along with a silent majority of us.

Actually, the Ranch appears to be able to level faster than once per day. From this GameFAQs topic which was started around EPR's Japanese release, you can note the following post he made on his second day of playing:

She also brought in her 3 new pokemon and mentioned that my ranch expanded and was now a level 5 ranch that could hold up to 50 pokemon. Therefore, I uploaded to the max again so that it will expand again tomorrow.

(Considering that the level up requirements can be met early for most ranch levels, this suggests the ranch can update quite fast.)

My initial calculations with this understanding suggested that it'd take about a week for the ranch to fully level up. (Specifically, that if those calculations are accurate, somebody will have a completely filled the Ranch and be trading for Mew on Sunday or Monday... can't quite remember.)

Edit: Not sure if you edited your post before or after mine, but I see you caught on to the same suggested level up mechanism.
 
Does any/everyone think that the Mew will be a Wondercard?

I sure hope so, so we can SR for it. Otherwise, I don't think it would be possible <.<

the bad thing about Ranch is that you cant restart your game and get the pokemon from the previous save back. so if you restart your game te pokemon you had in Ranch from that game will be locked in Ranch FOREVER!!!

Unless you hack your ID and secret ID back to that of the old save.(that's what I think it checks)
 
doesnt seem like the ranch grows more then once a day :O 20 is the max for me w/o any obvious way around it *sob
