On the issue of Duplicat, let me make this clear: the user would not get the 6IV Duplicat! It would solely be Nep's, and only used as a substitute parent if two are not used. Furthermore, it could only ever be mentioned that he has it. You wouldn't ever have to see it.
Those were just examples. Nuclear pokemon as a whole aren't very practical given their weakness to just about everything, but dang it, it'd be nice to have some more breedable nuclear pokemon in a game called Pokemon Uranium. Plus: collectors.
Anyway, the pool of breedable Nuclear pokemon is pretty pitiful at the moment. Nucleon is the instant win button, yes, but it will likely be barred from competitive battles down the line. Hazma and Geigeroach have their base stats outclassed by other pokemon. This leaves Xenomite as the only other Nuclear pokemon worth investing in for fights.
Honestly, having a strong nuclear pokemon is a gamble, but it'd be super interesting to have something like a jolly Baariette decimating foes. Its weaknesses wouldn't matter for long if it could get a nuclear move in there fast enough. (And have you seen Theo's Nucleon?? Extra protection against that thing is always welcome if your pokemon is slower than it. Or if an online opponent has a Nucleon with focus sash.)
As EeveeBailey said, having a way to give up leftover eggs would make things easier. I'm currently trying for a 6IV female Flager, and I'm not looking forward to dealing with the leftover eggs once one is hatched. I don't completely agree with WT, though, as I've sent eggs back before that I didn't want to hatch.
Corrupted offspring and parents is a legitimate concern though. Seeing as Nep has the stuff for helping out with minor radiation exposure, it'd probably be alright in the short term. As for stability amongst offspring, I can imagine how bothersome it would be to go back to Bealbeach City to cure them. So perhaps the hatched pokemon aren't feral.
Hmm... Actually, if the parent was already a stable nuclear type, there wouldn't be any worry whatsoever. DNA mutations would be passed down and although the babies would glow like nightlights, they won't tear your face off. The devs would likely have a slightly easier time coding restrictions as they would just have to include only pokemon with Nuclear typing (minus Hazma, because Nep says so
).
Down the line, if more nuclear variations are added, it can be said that the eggs are mutated from the radiation (as that's why Nep chose the area in the first place - just enough radiation for a chance at a mutated egg without getting a Xenomite).
That nuclear discussion stopped about a month ago. Unsure if I want to revive it.
That being said, what Nep's doing could probably be considered illegal, yeah. I suppose you could have a choice in ratting him out though. *shrug*
