[OOC] Pokemon - Hoenn: Make a Wish

[FernStone]

That's Adelaide added!

[Loony]

I'm really not ready to be fully back yet but I did want to drop by and say hi and just...Let you all know I'm alive and all. ^ ^"

[Phoenix]

@Loony Glad to hear it. I hope things are leveling out for you. ^^

I'm also checking in to see if anyone is working on an IC post. @Aphelion and I are collaborating on a post in the meantime. :)

[FernStone]

I'm slowly working on a post @Phoenix - but got an exam on Tuesday so it's unlikely to be done before then

[Aphelion]

@Phoenix Even though I'm taking forever on it, sorry :P <3?

@Loony Thank you for keeping us updated on your situation! :]

@FernStone I love both of them. I can't wait to see your post for them. I bet it'll be a good read. :3

@Jonnyh447 I stopped really playing the Pokemanz games after Crystal, and I stopped watching the show even before that for the most part. (Pokemon XY is actually a decent show so far, though. I started watching it to get familiar with Kalos). I didn't even know that much about Noivern until I wrote up Eloise.

I'm excited to see your first post as well. How're things going on your end?

@Prints Avoid Hey Prints! Did you need any help with your character or anything?

[Jonnyh447]

I was completely overestimating the notifications feature of this site, logging on daily to see no activity so I'd just log back off... Never again.

@aphelion I had a tooth extraction (go me) and have been in a lot of pain last few days starting to feel aight again now though (God bless salt water) so want to think about getting my IC done today ready to post tomorrow. Uncanny how similar our Pokemon experiences are! I've been trying to find the best Pokemon movie to watch lately, I want my nostalgia fix!

[FernStone]

@Aphelionim glad you do :) hopefully it'll be a good post, we'll see xD

See I know a bunch about new regions myself cause I play X/Y/alpha sapphire too much. I actually only started pokemon at 3rd gen (first time I got a game boy was then). And I've tried my hand at competitive battling so tend to learn about pokemon through that

@Prints Avoid Hey Prints! Did you need any help with your character or anything?

@Aphelion

More hours in a day would be nice lol
Sorry, between work and wedding/graduation season May is just a busy month for me. I haven't been able to make RP a priority. This week should (hopefully) be calmer, but I'm hesitant to make any promises so I'll leave it at that. I'm liking our new characters though!

@Loony and I'm glad to see you're doing okay

[Phoenix]

@Prints AvoidThanks for the update! :D

Yeah, may is usually pretty busy. ^^
I'm just glad to hear that you're not leaving. ;)
I at least want to see your finished character (whenever that may be). And I know I'm not the only one. ;P

[Prints Avoid]

Again, thanks for being patient with me

[Phoenix]

So, I guess another question to pass the time and keep people here. ^^

@Prints Avoid@FernStone@Jonnyh447@Aphelion

If you were to be a Gym Leader, where would your Gym be, in what type would you specialize, and what Pokemon would you have?
If you want to go by the canon game's mechanics, feel free. Create a puzzle, choose a position (1-8). Determine levels, etc.

I'm going to go by this RP's canon.

Hider

-Place-
Cherrygrove City (Johto)

-Type-
Fire

-Pokemon-
Cyndaquil (0-4)
Quilava (5-13)
Typhlosion (14-18)
Houndour (3-9)
Houndoom (16-18)
Slugma (0-4)
Magcargo (12-18)
Numel (1-9)
Camerupt (10-15)
Lampent (10-15)
Chandelure (16-18)
Litleo (5-13)
Pyroar (14-16)

-Stipulations-
I would look for adaptability and creativity.
Adaptability: Using offensive maneuvers defensively to prevent damage. Using defensive maneuvers offensively to counter/damage me.
Creativity: Using maneuvers to accomplish something other than it's intended purpose.
From 0-4 Badges, I wouldn't have any limitations or stipulations. Just a normal "defeat my Pokemon with all of your Pokemon."
From 5 Badges and on, a challenger would only be able to use as many Pokemon as I would use.
From 10 Badges and on, a challenger would only be able to use as many Pokemon as I would use. The challenger would be able to choose the Pokemon, specifically, but the order in which they are used will be randomly determined.
From 16 Badges and on, a challenger would only be able to use as many Pokemon as I would use. The challenger would be able to choose the Pokemon, specifically, but the order in which they are used will be randomly determined. Switching Pokemon, from both sides, will not be allowed unless the Pokemon is determined to be defeated.

[Prints Avoid]

Oooh this looks like a fun question.

[FernStone]

I'll answer later today - which is when I'll also start writing my post. I have an exam in 3 hours so prioritising that xP

How did your character react when the Pokestations were destroyed/disabled? When and where did they discover this news?

How would they have viewed Pokestations? Do they have them in their native region? If not, what do they have?

@Phoenix

I haven't yet figured out where my character was when the Pokestations were destroyed. He's used to their presence. I feel Unova has a nice capitalistic thing going on. There are Pokestations in Unova but they don't have as big a presence. People like them, but there is something to be said for the human and Pokemon interaction the centers provide. The Pokemon Centers/Marts are increasing the services and comforts they offer to compete with the stations, and by this point they each have their bit of the market. Some Unovans prefer stations, some prefer. While he likes the convenience of Pokestations, he would choose to visit a center if given a choice between the two.

I don't know if anyone said anything about Johto, but he's been living there for a while and has had to make much less use of Pokestations (because there either are none, or because they're not as widespread I guess). Their destruction upon/shortlyafter his arrival in Hoenn is unfortunate, but he doesn't plan on doing much battling. He's just here for something like a training retreat, and he knows enough to treat any possible training injuries. He'll be fine. He and his Pokemon can handle themselves. Why would he need a Pokestation?

If you were to be a Gym Leader, where would your Gym be, in what type would you specialize, and what Pokemon would you have?
If you want to go by the canon game's mechanics, feel free. Create a puzzle, choose a position (1-8). Determine levels, etc.

@Phoenix

I'll go with the game mechanics for now (because time), but I want to give a thought-out answer for the RP canon.

Location:Undecided
Type: Water <3 <3 <3 - Tsunami Badge
6th gym
Ludicolo
Slowking
Jellicent

[Phoenix]

Not that it really affects anyone right now, but I added two more Pokemon to Forrest's roster. Cacturne and Milotic have joined the struggle! :D

I should probably go edit my first post >.>

[FernStone]

I'm still here / slowly working on a post, I just want it to be decent and I've been busy recently Dx Hopefully I'll have it up in the next few days

[Phoenix]

@FernStone
Both characters are created. Just waiting on an IC post.
Life is currently busy.

@Prints Avoid
Has to finish CS. History is mostly complete (unless more progress has been made.
Life is currently busy.

@Jonnyh447
Character is complete. Just waiting on an IC post.
I'm unaware of the current goings-on for you.

@Aphelion
SLOWLY working on a post. xP
Caught a cold. Possibly getting over it.

I just wanted to do a little update of everyone so we're all aware of what's going on. ^^
Please correct me if I'm wrong...

[Prints Avoid]

@Phoenix

Can confirm. Life is busy. I pass out pretty much when I get home lol. It wouldn't be such a problem if I wasn't having to travel every weekend this month. Hopefully everything (Except work of course) slows down after memorial day

[Phoenix]

Oh yeah, I also added a gym leader to the OP. Just so everyone is aware. And it's really only for @Aphelion to take note of.

[Jonnyh447]

@phoenix
Now I've posted IC I can think about your question ><
