@TheForgottenArc

By the way, I read your latest IC post and would like to point something out. Dan says that they have a day and a half walk to get from Shamba to Wanzo, but if you check the description for Quiet Road (the route that connects the two towns), it says....

(It takes about 12 hours to walk this route.)

That's only half a day. Did you already know this; was Dan including a day's worth of rest or train time?

@Balthazar007 I'm taking account time to rest and the chance of wild Pokemon/trainers on the road. Cause ya know, nobody walks for 12 hours straight.

@Balthazar007

So does that 5 pokedollars come out of Margo's money? (Sorry if you've mentioned this before!)

@iKatamalicious you don't lose any money!

@prettydrops@iKatamalicious Do you two mind if I close the day out/time skip to when everyone is in Kanto?

Correct!

@TheForgottenArc I think I'm okay with that but I had a few questions first! @Balthazar007 are we allowed to find known/common items while timeskipping? For example you mentioned Cheri berries were common on some parts of quiet road. Would it be a stretch to say indigo found some?

Also, not gonna lie, I'm kind of curious to see the new pokemon we can access on the old routes. I know you're eager to time skip forgotten arc, but I wanted to also see if there were any new Pokemon... I apologize I hope I'm not being difficult xD

Balth is there any chance you could tell us which new Pokemon we have access to on the old routes?

Okay, I have spent my morning updating the 1st IC post. We now have all available Pokemon and Items in an area displayed. There is also a hider at the bottom that shows Pokemon that can be found all across the region.

You will notice that all items and Pokemon have one of four "Rarity" values with them: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Super Rare. Basically, you can find any Pokemon or item you want, but you need to keep in mind their rarity. This is not an IC thing for your characters to know about; it is for your use, as the player.

Pokemon or item, the encounter rate is as follows....



And in case you're wondering, if you haven't had your character encounter a Rare Pokemon (for example) in a whole month, that doesn't mean you can encounter two in a row, one day after the other. You wasted that time. There is no roll over. The "per three days" means you should wait "at least" three days between each encounter.

There are still some Pokemon that are hidden (e.g. Legendaries). I'll control these encounters.

I will not monitor how strictly you all abide by this new "rarity system", but I kindly ask that you do so, for the sake of realism.

Cool thanks balth! Really appreciate it and the effort you have put in

Awesome, I'll get a post out late tonight, my schedule has just been so damned busy. Once i have the post out, I can't post for the weekend as I have a short trip planned to visit my brother. I hope it's not an inconvenience!

Really short post, not much to add, you two can time skip/control dan (Not too much please tho) And I'll post on Monday or late Sunday.

Arc: Signing off...for now.

@Balthazar007 I a few more questions...
I know we can do one trainer battle a day to get money and we can do that ourselves but it also has to be a showdown battle right? Like how is that gonna work? Can I pitch a trainer and their Pokemon and levels to you?

I am concerned about grinding and having to write numerous posts for single jobs as well. So could give you also give us examples of more high paying "jobs" trainers can do to get more pokedollars?

I'm not trying to farm or anything but I'm just trying to understand.

Fist off, you can technically have more than one competitive (i.e. showdown) battle per IC day and earn PokeDollars off of them. You just can't battle the SAME trainer twice in one day.

Secondly, if you're itching to battle a new trainer, just let me know. I would love a showdown battle. I have like 5 trainers waiting to debut. Just let me know where you plan on bumping into them, and I'll chose the most appropriate trainer for the location.

As for jobs, there are A, B, C, and D rank jobs. (As well as S-Rank jobs, but I soley control those, and they will come later.) As for the 4 regular ranks, consider this...
D = Chores and Helping Hand Work (No Real Danger Risks)
C = Special Deliveries and High Profile Errands (Slight Danger Risks)
B = Low-Risk Detective Work and Urgent Requests from Rich People (Mild Danger Risks)
A = Police Backup Assignments and Emergency Response Calls (Expected Danger Risks)

S-Rank missions will be like epic journeys (often resulting in a Legendary Encounter). Again, I'll control these. (Action Packed and Dangerous)

I forgot to mention this, but if anyone ends up controlling Dan and y'all somehow get to the time skip please wait until I get back to handle the interaction between Dan and his mom as I have an idea for it. Thanks again!

@Balthazar007 okay great! I'd like to do a showdown battle on quiet road! I'll post and have Indy come across a trainer.

@TheForgottenArc I can time skip fo kanto after!

Your opponent's name is Pablo. He is an Agronomist (aka a scientist who studies agriculture). He specializes in how Bugs effect crops. Therefore his team is comprised of Bug type Pokemon. I'll add him to the character section within a couple hours.

Awesome. When are you available for a showdown battle?

Awesome. When are you available for a showdown battle?

I can do tomorrow between 9am and 1pm. After that, I'll be too busy. I'll have Pablo posted before then.

@Balthazar007 ok I'll try to be on around 9 am or 1pm!!!

@Balthazar007 currently online And getting my showdown team ready!
