@Zarkun So, do we do more asking around, or go straight on to exploring the area to find out what's going on? It'd give you a chance to get more Pokemon.

That's what I've been debating on. Because while looking around would finish out Tommy's team, they have a fairly large area to search if they don't get some kind of information from someone first.

@Zarkun Ok, they should have more luck asking around than they did the previous day. Then, on to exploring and catching Pokemon?

Likely do it that way. Sorry for not posting yet, been caught up in some stuff the last few days.

@Zarkun It's ok, we just might need to timeskip a few hours.

@Dusksong Thanks for introducing the Pumpkaboo, I brought in the Purrloin like we were discussing.

As you may have noticed, a new organization has been added in the "CS" tab. This organization was the brainchild of @luckyblackcat and myself, and it's our first "antagonist" organization! Hopefully the creation of this guild will stir up some creative juices, spur some action, and draw some new people into our RP. I will be posting a new interest thread up specifically to recruit people into this organization, but will also be pitching the RP as a whole for added benefits.

Our group, as you can probably see, has been growing smaller and smaller, and I'm eager to recruit new people. Sadly, many seem to feel that our RP is too "established" (which it is, but it also isn't). If any of you have friends or acquaintances you feel would find a place in this RP, (please) feel free to extend an invitation to them from me! I'm ready to take on any and all questions/concerns/thoughts and whatever else anyone has with the power I have as residing GM :)

Cheers,
Dusk

Sorry for my slower replying state. Been marathoning games as of late. Glad to see you all still working hard tho and hope I get some time and energy to continue playing ^^

@Silver Fox Haha pretty much the same for me here though (gaming, i mean). I too apologize for my posting speed as of late -- I've been getting into a variety of things (reading, watching shows, gaming, etc) and half-neglecting my duties as GM & my title as the most active poster (which is currently @luckyblackcat, since the guilt of making her wait always chases me these days). I hope the best to you and me, especially since I wish to get back into writing more.

@Silver Fox @Dusksong Oh geez, completely understandable. Me too. You plan to spend half an hour on a video game, then before you know it, your afternoon's gone.

Anyway, hopefully this RP will have more conflict now, if that's what people are looking for.

@DusksongAre you... a real villain?

Well, uh, technically, nah--

Have you ever caught a good guy, like a real superhero?

Nah.

Well, have you ever tried a disguise?

Nah, nah.

ALRIGHT! I can see, that I'm going to have to teach you, how to be VILLAINS!

@ToadRopes Bring it >:)

Haha looking forward to whatever you have in mind (unless I'm totally misunderstanding what you just said... which is pretty possible)

@Zarkun Well, there's your Gible.

@Dusksong Before posting up Florence's mission, I'll wait to make sure you give it the ok.

@LuckyBlackCat Approval given! Looking forward to it :)

@Dusksong Thanks, I'll put it up in my next post.

Hello Everyone!

Boy it has been a while since I've been active on here. But fear not, I have not been completely absent. I've been working on the website version of this RP. And I have been reading most of your posts on here as well. I'm so happy to see that we still have such a strong community.

Now for the big announcement, the site is finished!!! This is to say that it is as close to done as it's going to get without the help of all you wonderful people. The manual is complete. All the features are in place. And the site is set up to automatically keep up with your CP.

All I need are extra pairs of eyes. I need members of this RP to create characters over there, or bring one of their existing characters over there (you'll see how soon). Then we can iron out any inconsistencies that I have overlooked due to the shear magnitude of this project. Anyone that understands all the site's features can become a moderator; I would love the help honestly, and it would be nice if no one person was overloaded.

Thank you all for sticking around!

Here is the website's address: Pokemon: New World

@Balthazar007 Yay, a reason to create yet more characters! :D

@Dusksong Ok, so Cici now has seven Pokemon. Please could you remind me what the rules for having more than six Pokemon are? I remember there was a discussion about this.

@LuckyBlackCat There are currently no rules about having more than seven Pokemon. You could theoretically have your character carry around an infinite number of Pokeballs, but I'd prefer if everyone used common sense and steered away from unrealistic situations.

"Then Joe Schmoe, balancing 100 Master Balls on his head, confidently strode into the Pokémon League, his beloved Tentaquil, true god of Pokémon and the swolest creature on this earth, by his side. Tentaquil suplexed the Champion and Joe Schmoe became the king of the region."

@ToadRopes Thank you for that example of what not to do :)

@Dusksong Just wondering, with the site pretty much ready, how many of the rules for this have changed? I know we're using the new system for creating content, but is anything else different?

Becoming an Expert rank trainer, for example. Do we still have to have every type of Pokemon, or is it enough to have 30 Pokemon, 10 tier 3 Pokemon, and be part of an organisation? As you'll have noticed, my characters tend to be somewhat specialised, and yeah they could get one of each type, but going with themes means repeat types are kind of inevitable.

Also, is the battle system the same (is Showdown now an option)? And can contests now be a thing?

These are all good questions for this RP. But to clarify, just in case, the showdown battle is only an option if the battle is going to be a friendly match where both side can agree OOC and privately who would win. There should be no other rewards earned from non Showdown battles, other than all parties gaining CP for posting and a level up for Pokemon. I hope that was clear. As far as how that relates to this RP, I'll leave that up to Dusksong.

Thanks!
