[OOC] Pokémon: Start

[PlatinumSkink]

@Joshua Tamashii Pffff, haha. I didn't think of that. Sure, addressing the Rotom is fine. The GM will allow it, and have the Rotom react as appropriate. That was amusing to read. And alright, letter acknowledged. Nicely posted!

Though, maybe it's just my screen, but I have difficulty reading that dark purple. Could you brighten it up a little, to make it easier to read on the dark background?

@PlatinumSkink

Will do. Lighter purple. Kinda like this? Or this?

[PlatinumSkink]

@Joshua Tamashii The one on the right is the easiest on the eyes. Though, I can read the one on the left as well, without problem. Then it's mainly a question of what you find fits your character.

@PlatinumSkink

Right I guess. Might use the darker colors for pokemon, since, well, they aint speaking human language.

[PlatinumSkink]

@Joshua Tamashii Yupp, that's much better. Thank you.

[Joshua Tamashii]

@PlatinumSkinkI look forward to getting a response. But for now, bed. It's late and I need sleep.

[Pink Madness]

@PlatinumSkink Donna is on her own now, so can I make background trainers to challenge Donna or what ever...

[PlatinumSkink]

@Pikmin Eye Gotcha. Nicely posted. Hm-hm. Yeah, now I'm going to show a bit of what might happen when one trains. Teh-heh. Thank you for the chance.

@Pink Madness Ah. Um. Er.

I'm sorry, that's not how I've envisioned that this is going to work. You pick your actions, I control everything that happens in the world around you. Just as in the Pokémon games, you do not get to pick what trainers you face, what Pokémon you encounter, or how they move. You have control of your own trainer, and your Pokémon. You'll have to play matches, as well, I control the opposing Pokémon and know what level it is on until captured, then you can change it's personality and such as you please. The same with trainers, or Pokédex entries. So, unfortunately, you can't decide that you faced a Skitty, and then capture it in the same turn, I'm afraid. I'm sorry about that.

That said, you're not powerless to get what you want. If there is a Pokémon you want, specifically, you can ask around. Information exists for you to pick up, as long as you're willing to look. If you know what kind of Pokémon you're looking for, specify it to me, and I will keep it in mind when I give the results. If you want to face a trainer, you can specify what kind of trainer you're looking for, and I'll see it to its logical conclusion. If you're just wandering looking for Pokémon, though, I control what Pokémon you might encounter, and then control it in battle. If you don't want to roleplay a minor fight, then I can press "quickplay" and simply reason how the battle's going to go for you, with what tactics you've decided to use in mind.

I'm sorry about this, but please revise your post to instead be about what you're intending on doing. Everything up to when the Skitty appears is fine, taking a picture with Flame is adorable. Memories for later, such a good idea. If you're looking for Pokémon in Route 2, or just want to imply that there should be a Pokémon encounter, then feel free. As a proper adventure where you don't know what will happen, you decide things you do and I then show the consequences, and you can then act accordingly. Alright?

[Pink Madness]

@PlatinumSkink Alright fine I taked the skitty stuff away....

[PlatinumSkink]

@Pink Madness Haha. Still left that whatever it was was pink, which you'd really not be able to affect. But alright. I could work with that, this once.

@Delta44 Ah. Oh, dear. Alright. Let's see where this leads. Hahaha. Nicely posted.

[Delta44]

@PlatinumSkink Hehehe! :D I said before, I think, that Ren wouldn't fight fair unless it were in, say, a competitive match. It's not necessarily hurting her opponents with injury to blind them, however it wasn't her fault if they tried to hit Shyn, only for him to avoid the attack and their own Pokemon took out their trainers ;)

[PlatinumSkink]

Now, do notice that @Rune_Alchemist did both training and searching. Doing so, she gained a level and found an Uncommon Pokémon for the area. At the same time, @Pikmin Eye did only training, which granted him an additional level and a... "bonus". Bonus will vary depending on what you're training against. Haha. Meanwhile, @Pink Madness did only searching, kinda, that's what I'm counting it as, which gave her an opportunity to find an area Rare Pokémon. Because that one is rare here. Of course, luck be in your favor, you can still find Rare when splitting actions and such, it depends on your methods, but I'm reasoning with simple logic on that. Haha.

@Rune_Alchemist@Pink Madness If you're not happy with what you've found, Pokémon wise, feel free to just go back to the "menu" and do over. XD

@Pink Madness And, yeah, for you, you have to understand that I can't give you what you wanted after that one, but at the same time I don't want to feel like I'm punishing you, sooooooo... Yeah. Have something pink. Haha.

Besides, there were only two pink Pokémon you could possibly encounter there. One of them was Mew. You're not encountering Mew. XD

@Eklispe Sorry about delaying you, but I did decide that I would have this happen first time anyone's entering a... shall I say... dangerous area. Haha.

@Joshua Tamashii My apologies for unloading a lot on you. But, I did want to get you up to speed. Haha.

@Pyromaniacwolf@Delta44 Youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu're... going to have a situation to deal with when this is done, and I'm saying that mainly to Delta. XD

Oh, and, throughout the game, you're going to find random stuff on the ground. That's just in the spirit of Pokémon. What you guys find depends on your location, my whims and my dice rolls. Like @Pikmin Eye here, for example. He found something a little extra. Not sure if he has any use of this extra, but he found it. So that's nice, right? XD

I might feel like setting up a system so that you guys can see what TMs/evolution stones/useful items the others have so you can be like "AH! I WANT THAT! CAN I BORROW/TRADE/BUY/BATTLE YOU FOR THAT!?" to one another over the phone/Pokédex. Haha.

@Pirouette How's it going?

[Delta44]

@PlatinumSkink Eh, it's Ren, she doesn't give a damn ^-^

And I like the idea of having an Xtransceiver-type thing, considering how big the region is :D

[Rune_Alchemist]

‘Um.’ Kalmia looked at the conflict with a bit of a hesitant expression. ‘Only if they actually start punching each other…’ Looking at Rodger, who had been about to advance on Ren had Oaken not stopped him, it didn’t look like that possibility was too far off.

@PlatinumSkink

Still want Claire and Ren to have a battle devolve into a fistfight.

Also, Ledyba? I am pleasantly surprised. Claire's gonna take that bug type and give it all the hugs.

[Delta44]

@Rune_Alchemist YES! :D Just as heads-up, Ren will generally fight alongside her Pokemon (literally) when it comes to unofficial battles to come, because she feels it's unfair for her pokemon to shoulder all the fighting alone, not because she's a cheater. Of course, that won't stop her from getting into some rather physical altercations with some trainers :P But so long as there are rules at play, then you needn't worry about her doing too much.

[PlatinumSkink]

@Rune_Alchemist Awww. Lucky Ledyba. XD

@Delta44 Well, as I've already told in the long description of the Pokédex's functions, the Pokédex has the capability of contacting the other trainers that currently have Pokédexes. I just rolled it into that functionality. Haha.

I will note that unless you're fighting criminals most common Pokémon battling folk will assume they're not to be involved in combat.

Anyways. For clarification... you're aiming the Leer at the Pokémon, not the trainers, right? Because currently, "both their enemies" could mean either. XD

[Delta44]

@PlatinumSkink She's not planning to beat up the trainers XD but I understand the confusion. Shyn is using leer on the enemy Pokemon :D

Whoops! Should've read that in there :3 Sweet! Looking forward to any awkward phone calls between Ren and the others XD

And yeah I'm aware; generally Ren probably maybe won't fight trainers, not unless they make the first move c: she will, however, fight dirty. In some cases literally! (Ren used sand attack!)

[Pyromaniacwolf]

Bit of a rushed post but I wanted to get it up before I went off for the night.

[Eklispe]

Nah that's all good fam, I don't mind a brake-check, don't want Dawkin plunging directly into peril too unprepared after all.

[Rune_Alchemist]

@PlatinumSkink

Fun fact: With the Fairy typing, Ralts isn't weak to bug attacks.

It is however, weak to Poison, Steel, and Ghost attacks.

Wasn't sure if you were aware since I think that's the second time you've mentioned that.

Anyways, posted~
