I thought so. So, whats everyone plan at the start if nothing controversial happens? I'm hitting up that grinding and tutoring, instantly.

Well, Lucy's gonna go hunt for her pokemon team and probably just...travel. Either on her own or with someone who can tolerate her shenanigans. She's not gonna really have a set typing. But by the end of things, I think her team is gonna consist of Liepard, Goodra, Aegislash, Gardevoir, Froslass, and Absol.

After she gets her desired team, she's probably gonna work on grinding and training them.

Now Lynette? Well. She's gonna start hunting for a Spiritomb. Of course, trolling others and being a general nuisance to everyone trumps everything else. So yeah.

Already built my team on Showdown. I am contemplating on making my Ghastly Shiny... then again not my biggest concern.

I support your decisions! <3

When Gastly evolves there is like little-no difference, just like - a lighter shade of purple on Haunter and Gengar! XD

@Rune_Alchemist@EWillden
Oi, oi, I see ya'll, building teams here. Anyone wanna travel with muwa? As was mentioned, Ray's going for a fighting type team, so if I can start with Riolu, my team will go from thier. Not set on what I want, but me next Pokemon will be one of the Hitmon's.

Should this be Fantasia's theme? I feel like it should #SignatureRefrence

Lucy will travel with anyone who doesn't mind putting up with her and who she deems 'fun to be around'. So yeah, she might be all for traveling with him for a bit.

Lynnette...eh. She'll travel with anyone. but I don't think anyone wants to have her plaguing them with her usual brand of trollery and attitude xD

Hotaru wouldn't mind traveling with anyone. It's dangerous to go out alone. Always bring a buddy with you.@LokiLeo789

Well I mean Ray would be weirded out if he's getting his face licked, but he is a fun loving guy. We shall see how things begin. Lots of training on his part though.

I just want to travel with people who are dependable for RP purposes. :-:

Sucks when you pair with someone who can go days without replying, especially in key moments it really takes you out of the story.

Well, that's her intentions so yeeah.

@AbysmalDemon
So, uhm, I have a few more questions regarding how exactly moves work and how battles might be conducted here. As this isn't a game, and in a somewhat more realistic setting, I'm unsure exactly how certain moves would work. For example, how exactly would someone use sand attack indoors? Also, teleport in a realistic setting is a seriously more effective. They don't exactly have to jump back to the pokemon center. They could basically use it to completely avoid an attack.

Apologies for the questions, but with everyone saying showdown is the best thing on the planet, I feel as though creative strategies such as using teleport to dodge an attack if possible, or using an offensive move defensively (as mentioned earlier) aren't exactly going to be welcome here. Everyone seems to be taking EVs and IVs and pokemon stats in general quite seriously, when really a lot of the pokemon metagame is pretty broken and doesn't allow for 'weaker' pokemon to really stand out all that much and means there's too many gimmicky strategies involving items or certain move sets.

All I know is that my last day for summer college is tomorrow, which means I can get back to freely posting more for two weeks... take what you will with that xP

Besides, I have a feeling over who Lynn is pairing with already.

Edit: Hopefully it works that way; I'm hoping to spam teleport with the first poke Alex catches obviously :P

I know how you feel. Other then work. Not much will ever take me forever from roleplaying with anyone here.
I can read and make posts while at work sometimes if it ain't too busy.

Other than from her Ghastly. Face licking wont happen too often with Hotaru lol

So I guess we are planning out groups already, eh? Well ok then xP

Just day dreaming I guess, waiting for this to get started. Passes the time a bit.

It would help a little bit, but a fair enough statement... Gengar, (Mega) Gardevoir, Rotom, Ferrothorn, Scizor, Azumarill, Milotic, and Golurk is his complete set up :P

Ok, so I was going to say this before we started the RP: Showdown is good, but it doesn't allow much for creative freedom, and if creative freedom is what you want the scrap showdown and do what you want.

I'm sand attack. Imagi e the Pokémon bringing in its arms to its chest to create a little blue swirling ball, and it shoots out its arms and the sand is released. As for teleport, I allowed last time to avoid attacks, so I have no problem with it in that sense. As for teleportation to places, I don't want want you teleporting from town to town, let's say the teleportation limit if 100 feet. That allows someone to get somewhere nearby if they need it. If the Pokémon teleports that far, it needs to recharge before it can make a jump that big again.

And about metagame, it's not like everyone is going to go for champion. Some might want to be a coordinator, or a breeder, who ch don't require EV or IV stats, so the 'weaker' Pokémon do t necessarily have to worry about it.

@LokiLeo789'I think it was you who asked, yes you can change to Riolu. Going for that mega?

<Snipped quote by LokiLeo789>

Same Gastly can't be Hotaru's only pokemon so a bit of grinding wouldn't hurt. Aiming for a ghost/dark/psychic team too so I am not to sure how that is going to work.

Also I do have a question... how are we going to handle poke evolutions that require trade? we just going to make up some level for them? Like Haunter - Gengar. Like level 40 or something like that?

To be honest I think that trading wouldn't be too hard. There's a machine in every Pokécenter, so just trade and trade back with the required items if any (e.g metal coat)

Would our starters be able to have an egg move?

Yes they would, I have no problem with that.

Ya, he's gonna be the linch pin for my team so lemme get started on training him. Just gotta think of a good name.

On a different note, if we can a egg moves, lemme add that.

Lets start!

I'm actually really tired. I stayed up till 5AM working on this RP, and I'm gonna take a 35 minute nap. If you have a problem with that then you can stay up till 5AM looking at a time when hone screen and typing and copy and pasting and setting bbcode and looking up Pokémon sprites. I'm setting my phone alarm, good bye.
