[OOC] Pokémon: Start

[Rune_Alchemist]

@Pirouette

Ralia is currently attempting to ride on top of the Swinub.

[PlatinumSkink]

@Rune_Alchemist Teh-heh. Sure. Match up your battle tactics with your fabulousness~ XD I'll see to what happens from this. Nicely posted~

@Eklispe @Pikmin Eye @Lasrever Teh-heh. Your consistency despite the four-player-battle pleases me greatly, and the fact this is a true team-battle as well. Haha. Nicely posted, all of you~

@Pirouette I'm happy to see you finally got your post in! And yupp, it contains exactly what it needs to. A reply will be coming shortly. Well posted!

@Pink Madness Teh-heh. Yupp, your opponent might have a bit of a problem since Tackle is the only thing she really can do, but, eeh. Haha. … By the way, Tail Whip might have been a waste as your only attack is Special and Tail Whip decreases the enemy physical defense. Not much synergy there. Eh, oh, well. You're all beginners, it's totally okay to make mistakes. XD Nicely posted~

@Keyblade87 Yupp, and that's all you need to get a battle started! Well posted! Haha! *checks Riolu's movepool* Pssh, Riolu only knows Quick Attack as an attacking move, eh? Isn't it strange how he somehow knows Quick Attack but can't Tackle? … EH! XD Speedy attacks it is! XD

So, then, @Delta44, you're the only one that has yet to post that can, at this moment.

I'm a bit busy this week-end as well, but I'm writing your replies at any breaks I can find! I COULD post those I'm done with, buuut... Eh, it'll come when they're all done!

Oh, by the way, if it was missed somewhere. Your Pokédexes can tell you what moves your Pokémon currently knows. Like when Simon looked down at his and found out Hoppip only knows Splash and Synthesis. Haha. But, yeah, looks like you've all got things going~

[Rune_Alchemist]

@PlatinumSkink

Just a question as to how 'Teleport' might work in the future. Obviously, it can probably lead to other places than just the pokecenter I'd imagine. That said, being able to spam it during a fight to avoid/dodge everything would be just a bit much so what's your ruling on that?

[PlatinumSkink]

I made it? WOW, I JUST PRECISELY GOT DONE WITH THE POST! MADE IT IN ALL HASTE! NOW I HAVE TO GO!

I apologize for any mistakes I made in my haste!

@Rune_Alchemist Will answer when I get back! Woooooooo~! I made it! I'm so happy! *vanishes for many hours...*

[Eklispe]

For teleport a reasonable limit may be a post limit of some sort, or X amount of times per fight. Also I totally would've had Aron do the same thing even if a missed water gun wouldn't have hit him so I'm not meta-ing :<

[PlatinumSkink]

@Rune_Alchemist BACK! ... And now to answer your question. For the long-range teleports, I'm thinking that I'll allow the Pokémon to pick a single spot while present at this place, and then be able to teleport itself and/or any willing trainers to this specific location. The "marker" of this teleport can be moved, a new one can be created at any time at the expense of the former or if the Pokémon simply wish it to vanish. If something makes it impossible to manifest at the target location, like if something is blocking the way or so, then the teleport simply does not happen.

As for in-battle teleport, I am going to make it so that for Teleport, you have to focus for a considerable amount of time. You CAN have teleport prepared in advance, but then you can't have any other moves prepared. In addition, when taking shape, it'll take a considerable amount of time for the Pokémon to regain their bearings. But otherwise, Teleport will have a fairly long range that simply requires the user to be aware of the location it wishes to teleport to, which will make it very useful against some opponents. But... if the enemy is aware of your teleporting and have the right moves, they can easily invalidate the use of Teleport with any projectile attack. I believe for this reason, I'll have there be a limit on how far from the trainers the Pokémon will be allowed to Teleport in mid-battle. And, Confusion and such moves will require line-of-sight and notable proximity, if still ranged. Teleporting too far won't make you able to do much damage.

Hiding to stat-boost is possible, I realize, however. ... Heh. Yupp.

@Eklispe And nicely posted. And yupp, this is a team game. Though, don't worry about the metaing thing. That's why I specifically wrote that it was "Aron's position at the moment of attack" for Natu's attack, as such it doesn't matter where Aron is because the Natu will have calibrated~

[Rune_Alchemist]

@PlatinumSkink

Right, sounds good~

and just a heads up I dunno if I've told anyone here or not but I have jury duty starting today, and I have no idea how long that'll take, so my posting may be a bit...irregular over the next week or so, depending on how long that takes.

[Eklispe]

Good luck with doing jury things. Sounds like entirely too much work and involves leaving the house

[Pink Madness]

@PlatinumSkink I wull made my post either today or tomorrow.

And I've being thinking how rare is to found and catch a wild pikachu or eevee in this rp? I want her to catch either both or just another and I know that in games there is wild pikachu's, but Eevee is mostly gived By someone or a price. So how it's work in this rp then?

[Eklispe]

In every route, there's a total of six different actions that you can do.
1. Find Pokémon. Can be specified what kind of Pokémon is being searched for, and how you search.
etc...
The GM will then tell you the result of your actions, and roleplay as would logically follow.
etc...

@PlatinumSkink

@Pink MadnessPretty sure that sums up how catching Pokemon works, not sure how Pikachu would be more rare than anything else. Eevee is said to be rare though and considering Team Virtue/Amethyst's exploits you might have a hard time with that one even if you do find it. ^.^

Also from the first page

There will be means to collect the Pokémon you want. All of them. For instance, if you see a trainer with a Pokémon you want, you can ask where s/he got it. If you also have specific Pokémon in mind then the chances of locals being able to tell you where they are and how to find them will become much higher. You can always use the excuse that "a trainer I once saw as young had one" for how you know about the Pokémon, or similar. With access to information like that, the collection of your perfect Pokémon Team becomes far from impossible, an achievable goal.

@PlatinumSkink

[PlatinumSkink]

Alright. I was distracted by some things that needed to be done in real life, but now that they're done... I'm a little disappointed there's only three posts here.

@Eklispe@Pikmin Eye@Lasrever Well posted, all of you. Your tactics have paid off. Haha. Oh, and.

@Lasrever I realized later I had kind of put you in a "meta or not meta" situation. Where it'd look like you were cheating if you did anything but what you now did, and everything was kind of troublesome. Since I realized that, I'm just going to solve that situation myself, using an action you did, and with that I will make a mental note to attempt avoiding placing my players in such situations in the future. My apologies about that. Haha.

Now, then. @Pyromaniacwolf, since @Delta44 has yet to post, and is holding you up, I am not particularly adverse to continuing with this battle regardless. You've not been able to do something for quite a while due to another player, which is unacceptable. I would offer that maybe we'd make this a 1-on-1... but then you'd be fighting a Horsea, which might not be the most effective thing ever. So, I could control Ren until @Delta44 feels like actually using her character.

@Pink Madness Happy to hear you'll post! And yes, the Pokémon you are seeking exists in the wild. It may not be extremely easy to find the rarer, but seek specific Pokémon and you may find them. I can't guarantee you'll find them, but... I can guarantee they're there. They're all out there, somewhere. I know where they all live, and how rare they are in these places. Do not worry about that. Eevee is rare, that's going to be shown in the game too, but... yes. As Eklispe helped out with saying. They're out there. You just need to find them, and asking for information is a good way to start. Haha.

@Rune_Alchemist Alright. Do come back to posting when you can. Someone has a bit of catching up to do, anyway. Haha.

As for the other two yet to post...

@Pirouette How's it
@Keyblade87 going?

[Rune_Alchemist]

@PlatinumSkink

sorry, sorry!

I should be posting, I know. After I got out of Jury duty a few days ago though, I was 100% almost a zombie.

I'll probably be getting something up later tonight. Apologies for the hold up~

[PlatinumSkink]

@Rune_Alchemist I actually missed your explanation, but upon noticing I can see you saw my post before I edited it. My apologies, I read it once and then forgot it during the week. It's completely understandable. But, yes. Good to hear! And don't worry, given the pattern here, you didn't hold anyone up~

[Pirouette]

@PlatinumSkink

Ahh! Sorry! To be honest, things recently haven't been going to well for me so I've been down and definitely absent. I'll post soon, I promise!

[Delta44]

Sorry for not being able to get online ;-; My only excuse is that Fire Emblem and school starting has been taking up way too much of my time :P If you guys wanna turn the fight into a 1v1 that's cool with me; knowing me I won't be completely active yet, though I do plan on being productive tomorrow :D Again, really sorry for the unexplained absence.

[PlatinumSkink]

@Rune_Alchemist@Eklispe Well posted. Always glad to see quick responses.

@Pirouette@Delta44 Acknowledged. It would be very nice to see posts of some kind. It doesn't need to be that complex, you really only need to read the parts concerning yourselves at this moment, but, yes.

[Keyblade87]

Sorry been crazy busy with life and such but I'll try and get something up here soon

[Pyromaniacwolf]

@PlatinumSkink I wouldn't mind turning the battle into a 1v1 , should I let you get a post up for Oakens response before doing anything else? Lucian's made his first move anyway assuming delta doesn't manage to get a post up

[Delta44]

@PlatinumSkink Writing something now, boss! :D

[PlatinumSkink]

@Keyblade87 Alright. As you're in a 1-v-1 battle it doesn't matter THAT much if you're a bit delayed, but I'd still be happy to see you come somewhere~

@Pyromaniacwolf Well. Looks like Delta posted, so maybe we can get this on the road~

@Delta44 Well posted, though a bit late. A lot late. I would greatly appreciate if you could get to it a little faster the next time. That said, let's get this battle going~! ... And my apologies about what happened in the post, it's just that it's a combination of Fake-Out being a priority move and that I need to make Flinching matter in one way or another. Haha. Sorry about that. But, yes. You two... have considerable opponents.

@Rune_Alchemist Well posted! ... Teh-heh. I'll have you know, when it comes to random effects like these, I make use of dices to ensure the effect is actually random. And this time... yeah. XD

@Eklispe@Pikmin Eye Well posted. I'll continue that as soon as we have @Lasrever's post as well.

Oh, and for learning moves... We're APPARENTLY using ORAS Move Level learning things. Because Ralia knew Confusion at level 5. This meant that suddenly Horsea didn't know Water Gun, which I thought it did. Instead it knew Bubble. Huh. Alright, then. We'll take this into account for now.

... We're not going to incorporate Sun/Moon things into this when that game comes out. XD
