Why should we consider removing bases like pulsar/temporal/witch/mistletoe from their locked months?

The essence of this post is that I believe month locked bases are harmful to the popularity of a base. Not only that, but month locked combo bases means that the quality of lions with the base tends to be lower outside of the breeding month. Avaliablity of markings and traits on month locked combos tends to be scarce when it comes to breeding only attributes.
Tl:Dr
I want to be able to do my harder projects year round. Having a combo base as the project base is hard enough, a month locked base is even harder! I'm sure other combo breeders can share this sentiment.


Another point I'd also like to make is that Lioden is a breeding game, and I find it a little weird that some bases are locked to 1 month. While some may believe this increases the bases value, I find the value of the base both peaks and falls within the breeding month. Outside of it, the base becomes somewhat undesirable due to how it cannot be passed unless bred to another lion with the exact base. This means that getting the wanted traits onto your lion is super hard unless you put all your effort into one month of breeding! The solution is simple; remove the month lock.

What if the prices go way down? What If the bases lose value or desirability? Won't the market be affected?

Yes.
The short and simple answer is that when any feature is changed the lioden market will be affected. However let me list some facts!

At the time of posting there is:
5 temporals
7 witches
6 pulsars


On the market. Of these lions genetics/bo traits variances are lacking. The reason? The inability to attempt breeding more bo traits onto them reliably! If they were normal combos there would be more variety.

The prices of "common" or "less desirable" lions with the bases will decrease indeed, but that's a good thing! More people will be able to obtain the bases, increase the chance for more beautiful and unique lions feature the bases!

What are some ways we can still keep them unique? I think the feature makes them rare!

That's true! So here are some ideas.

Make the bases weather/time based.
Specifically witch and temporal could easily be combo bases that can only pass to their factors at night.

If we change the bases to this, they would still fell distinct without being locked in 1 month for breeding.

I may be a little bias, but come on. Combo bases are already hard to get. Why make it even HARDER?
