My dream was quickly shattered by the discovery that players cannot interact with other people's ranch Pokémon, nor do the sheep Pokémon regain their wool if you shear them.
This sucks.
So, if a configuration within the ranch block itself could be added that would allow people to gather recourses from your Pokémon freely even if they are not the owner, and if an option to allow sheep Pokémon to regain their wool or graze when in the ranch could be implemented, it would be appreciated for all us farmers out their in the Pokémon world.
