Who remembers this bitch? @Me

@MissFortune

Aaaaayyyyyyeeeee! I do. I also remember your signature @Me. Some things just never die.

[MissFortune]

@AbysmalDemon

My Marina and the Diamonds? I should change it back! You doing another reboot - I'm game! :)

I'ma be honest, if we use a spreadsheet for anything, I'm out.

Aside from being incredibly restrictive, I don't think think it adds anything other than needless complication to the process. As long as a pokemon is reasonably in an environment it can be encountered in (say, a rock type in a mountain or a wooper in a swampy/watery area). I don't think we'd have that problem. realistically speaking, pokemon aren't exactly easy to capture. Not to mention, the fact that no one is going to be carrying around 99 pokeballs in their backpack to just spam at a pokemon.

[AbysmalDemon]

@MissFortune Are Fantasia and Budew coming back for another round? Or do you have a different card up your sleeve.

[MissFortune]

@AbysmalDemon

Depends, did you like them? I have another PokeMAN up my sleeve - I have no problem sprucing up Fantasia a bit, my other guy is a con-artist who scams people with a Shiny Zorua that transforms into Pokemon.

Whichever sounds more interesting!

@Rune_Alchemist

I can see what you mean here. Honestly, if the spreadhseet was to come back, it wouldn't be by dice rolling and rarity, you would be free to pick Pokémon form the area, and they would make sense. But I feel I can trust you all, and I believe that you wouldn't be trying to capture a magikarp I the middle of a god damn volcano.

[EWillden]

Sorry for the late submission, if you want me to add more or edit it. Let me know.

@MissFortune

Jesus they both sound fantastic. I think have Fantasia be your main, but con-guy can be your side hoe, and if you want to save yourself from two CSs he can become an NPC character that causes trouble for the trainers along the way.

@EWillden

She looks good, but for future reference put Characters in the OOC tab for approval first.

@Rune_Alchemist

Of course, but there may be some specific encounters, and I like the idea of randomly encountering something really powerful or just at random too.

Basically... Is there a way for us to have a sort of random and exploration element? I want to see if we can reach a compromise.

@AbysmalDemon

Derp, apologies. I forget about that sometimes...

Anyhow first time doing a pokemon role play so here is to hoping it goes well.

[MissFortune]

@AbysmalDemon

I have both CS's ready to go! Just give me a bit to spruce up Fantasia since Ace is fairly new, it will be interesting having 2 Characters out on the field - one wants to be a Pokemon Coordinator while the other wants to be a Pokemon Ranger. Hmm!

[Sho Minazuki]

Mine wants to be Champion.

[AbysmalDemon]

Mine wants to meet his moms expectations.

[Whimsicott]

Mine is the next up-and-coming pokemon professor.

[Sho Minazuki]

Mine wants to meet his moms expectations.

@AbysmalDemon

It would be father, but no one has a dad in Pokemon.

@Rune_Alchemist

There goes my idea for a Pokeball hoarder character :-P

But really, I do have a character idea in my head. I'm not sure if I'm going to join or not (I know I won't if my Pokemon are determined by a spreadsheet), but I'm posting to give my two cents on this.

@AbysmalDemon

I think common sense is a good baseline to use in a roleplay like this. You're not going to catch a Mewtwo on the first route of the game, but if you find a Pidgey there, nobody is going to be surprised. I think there has to be a certain level of trust in the roleplayers or no roleplay will work out.

[AbysmalDemon]

@Whimsicott Maybe near the end of the RP (dear god if we make it that far..) you can become the professors assistant.

@Sho Minazuki In all seriousness you might have a competition for that champion.

[EWillden]

Mine wants to be a pokemon watcher. Like Tracy. Only she doesn't just want to sketch them but take pictures as well. She will count herself as a regular trainer too but she wont aim to be a champion or anything.

[Savo]

Mine wants to be Champion.

@Sho Minazuki

Well congrats! I have something to Sho you!

A rival who might go for the same thing since he searching for his true purpose!

Have fun xP
