[OOC] Pokémon: Nexus

<Snipped quote by 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.

<Snipped quote by 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.

@Zapdos

OMFG! I meant to put I feel like I CAN trust you all!

[Sho Minazuki]

@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.

@AbysmalDemon

Well, it kind of needs competition.

[Savo]

So who is the third rival then? I only know of Alex and Rylen?

I was planning on making another character who would of been the fourth, but he would fail exponentially and delve into some other trade xP

That and the the picture to use him was already taken xD

<Snipped quote by AbysmalDemon>

What do you mean? I said IC.

@AbysmalDemon

@Whimsicott lol I tricked you. I put the 'EDIT: You really need rest' in there so I could direct your attention away from the real edit, which was me changing OOC to IC. :P

@Savo

That would be my character, who is still under construction.

@AbysmalDemon

Dude, like, woah, spoiler alert mang.

My fragile sense of surprise has been ruined :P

Also, how is the champion thing gonna work? Tournament or something?

[Rune_Alchemist]

Lucy: Will probably challenge the league because it seems like fun.

Lynette: Just wants to cause as much trouble, and be as difficult as she possibly can for everyone~

Not the gm this rp deserves, but the ones it needs.

@Rune_Alchemist

Rune, go to bed xP

Also, by that description, you mean just for Alex don't you xP

Also, make that four rivals.

[MissFortune]

I think I am gonna change Fantasia's Budew to Normal, since it's kinda Ace's thing to preform illusion's with his Shiny Zorua to swindle money from people.

Doesn't seem fair for both of my character's to have shiny Pokemon now does it?

[Sho Minazuki]

Rylen's not going to understand any of the malice and just get into it... And probably wreck a few days.

@MissFortune

I think it's fine, I mean part of Fantasia and her peppy bitchness was because of shiny Budew, and honestly, she wouldn't be the same without her peppy bitchness, now would she. Plus how does she hope to tryout for Vanessa Bon Goshe's classes if she doesn't have a shiny. Back to the not being fair part, you're the one taking on the stress of two characters, anyone who says it's not fair can try taking on two characters themselves.

@Sho Minazuki

A'ight.

Also a warning for both of you, I don't know how it got like this last time, but besides Eklispe you two were like a few... Days in front of everyone. So just watch your timing this go around.

[Sho Minazuki]

Ah yes. Yeah we were leagues ahead of everyone... I'm more or less hoping everyone's able to occupy themselves, rather than rush ASAP to the place they want to go to.

[MissFortune]

@AbysmalDemon @Sho Minazuki

To our own defense, everyone else had slowly faded away and we couldn't wait for them or else the entire RP would have died! :(

[Sho Minazuki]

That is also true. We ended up needing to wait a few days between.

I think the problem is how detached everyone was from each other, only those who played together seemed to stick around for longer. So I guess, find your travel partner? Unless you're really self-driven.

@MissFortune

Alright, I'll give you that, but there were still a good 6-7 posters

_{out of the 20 we started with :,(}

[Sho Minazuki]

I feel like 20 is too many for an RP like this. Maybe for something with the military and team work touch to it, like RWBY or the RP is played where everyone is in the same group or faction, it works because everyone has to abide by a central system or allegiance. Around several players would be good for a Pokemon RP, so long as they're committed.

@Sho Minazuki

I agree here; in a sense have 4 groups of 5, 5 groups of 4, and so on.

For those who get left behind or drop, I would say keep moving forward with your group. If anything, they could split off or do their own thing. But if they come back, have a chance encounter with the group they were in or another where it fits. Regardless hopefully everyone doesn't jump around too much like last time, because that was sort of the straw that broke the camels back for me xP

This should be moderately challenging to pace.

[Sho Minazuki]

And the power of time skips. People don't seem to be aware that this technique exists.

Makes it easy for people to catch up, they can just say they were travelling through here or there etc. and nothing of note happened when they're coming back in.

[AbysmalDemon]

Hit the jackpot by scrolling through my PMs. Found the GM planning PM for the old one and I now have access to the gym leaders, the elite four, and Team Nexus. :)
