[OOC] Pokémon: Start

[PlatinumSkink]

Oh, my. Lots of posts. This makes me a happy GM. Haha.

@Delta44 Alright. Well posted. Haha.

@Pyromaniacwolf It's all good. The fight's proceeding well. Nicely posted!

@Pikmin Eye Oh, my. Alright. Nicely posted. Now let me consider. Haha.

@Eklispe Teh-heh. Good. Nicely posted.

@Rune_Alchemist Aaaaah, that little detail. To think, I remember checking that EXACT DETAIL before starting to write that post, to ensure I wasn't getting the Fairy-type wrong. ... ... ... Awful lot of good that did me.

Hey, the Fairy-type isn't physically indented into my memory the same way all the other types are! XD

Anyways. Nicely posted. Going with the speaking route, eh? Alright. Let's see where that leads.

Edit: ... Oh. Bubble targets all adjacent enemies. It's more of a mass-attack. I didn't know this. I might have described and used the move differently from how it should function. ... Eh!

[Rune_Alchemist]

@PlatinumSkink

Also, which move set lists are we using?

Ralts learns Double Team at level 6 in ORAS (which is the one I was assuming we were working with since it was the most recent game when this thread was made), and generally learns moves earlier in the more recent games but I noticed that Ralts didn't learn it upon level up.

[PlatinumSkink]

We are indeed using ORAS. The TM-system is also ORAS. There are no Sun/Moon anything in this roleplay.

I'm unsure if you're saying your Ralts in Sun/Moon didn't learn Double Team at level 6 or if you're saying that Ralia didn't learn Double Team at level 6, which she did.

[Pirouette]

Finals... ;-;

[Rune_Alchemist]

@PlatinumSkink

Welp, I'm being a derp.

I completely forgot to update the CS where she was both level six and learned double team.

I blame me not eating yet this morning.

I should go do that xD

[Pink Madness]

@PlatinumSkink Founding a mew could be jackbot, but little cherubi is fine too...

[PlatinumSkink]

@Pirouette Finals is a completely acceptable reason to not post in a bit. Good luck with them~!

@Joshua Tamashii Alright! Nice to know Joshua has made a good impression on someone, haha. Well, that might be partly because he didn't have to split his attention, and could focus on just the one this time. XD

Anyways. Quite cute. Nicely posted. A reply has already been written. Feel free to go at it however you wish.

@Pink Madness And this is how you're SUPPOSED to catch a Pokémon. Hahaha. Nicely posted. Responded. Do note, I have it in this universe that fainted Pokémon cannot be caught, like in the games. For some reason. Haha.

@Rune_Alchemist Pffth, haha. Poke Souls. Hahahaha.

@Eklispe So, in the case of any fight of minor importance I will give the option of just pressing "quickplay", and I'll just reason to how I believe the match would conclude. If you ever feel you want to do so, just inform me. Otherwise, keep playing as you wish. Haha.

@Pikmin Eye So, um, er. I promise, not EVERY time you trigger a random event will result in ending up on the receiving end on a mind-numbingly dangerous event that could reasonably end up in severe injuries! So, er, you don't NECESSARILY need to fear that button in the future, okay? ... But, yes. Say "hi" to the 'queen' of the Outer Infested Woods, because she certainly said "hi" to you. Hahahahahaha... ... ... Do ask me questions if you feel you need the answers to come to a decision. Haha.

@Pyromaniacwolf@Delta44 And your match continues. Well, for one of you, anyway. Now, I wonder if there's any way to take advantage of the fact that Oaken's relying on his mental image of the battle-field? Haha. No idea. But don't worry, assuming you win ultimately Houndour's still going to get the spoils of the battle. Because that's how I made my system. Haha.

[Eklispe]

Cool beans, I do believe that I'll autoplay this one before heading in the direction the swarm of Volbeats is headed. Moth to the flame and all that. Want me to make a post for it still?

[Pikmin Eye]

@PlatinumSkink Surprisingly, this isn't the first time I had the equivalent of a raid boss spawn from rolling the dice. This is probably a bad choice, but I am going to stand there and try my best to fight back the swarm. I spent time considering my options and how long Martin would reasonably have to do think and react. The best answer would be to stay put, a commotion this large would have a chance of help coming if he held out. Coming up next, how many Volbeats does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop? The world may never know. Worst case scenario is a white out from a darn good reason. Followed by running like a coward back to the inn and forking over the money to heal Nincada while money somehow flies out of my pockets, like the game.

[PlatinumSkink]

@Delta44 That's a way. Haha. Alright. Nicely posted. Now let me figure how this will go.

@Pikmin Eye Teh-heh. Gotcha. Nicely posted.

@Eklispe I do want to know what your tactics are, if you have any particular ones. But, otherwise, feel free to contain in the same post what you do after the battle, as yeah, that's the part that'll actually impact things. _{Spoiler alert, you're not going to have much trouble with a Steel/Rock type. XD}

[PlatinumSkink]

@Rune_Alchemist I'll assume that Ralia's issuing a challenge? Am I getting that correctly, or am I misinterpreting this? Haha.

In any case. Nicely posted!

[Rune_Alchemist]

@PlatinumSkink

Yep, definitely issuing a challenge.

[Pink Madness]

@PlatinumSkink Will I need to choise a another action after catching the Cherubi? And how long will get to enter to that river town (Don't remember it name lol)

And she will evolve the vulpix to ninetail someday, so will the Stones be founded into the shops or is there some another way to get them?

[PlatinumSkink]

@Joshua Tamashii *gasp* Someone actually used the Pokédex for check the Pokémon's moves, like I made it able to tell. I'm so happy. ... Actually, did everyone do that? Did anyone do that? I remember thinking a lot about it in the past, and I don't remember reading someone else doing that, but that was like months ago now, someone might have done it and I forgot. Oh, well. Nicely posted!

@Pink Madness Nicely posted! And, yes, after you're done with the battle I'll provide the basic options menu that I've made for each area and you can pick what to do with it. I've considered that perhaps I should write down connected areas on the "hurry along" option. I might want to rename that just "move along". Haha. As for how long it is to Lakewatch Town, you need just move through Route 2 to Wet Caverns, and then through Wet Caverns to finally arrive at Lakewatch.

Assuming nothing gets in your way, that's only like two posts away. _{Do not make that assumption.}

As for the stones, yes, they might be available in stores down the line. But, you can also find them naturally just lying around in the wild by searching at the right place. Some people around might also give them to you, might. Just like in the games, so to say.

[Joshua Tamashii]

@PlatinumSkink part of me is wondering what the professor and the elite four member (drawing a blank on his name) were whispering about.

[Eklispe]

That good? I'm aware the time might be a little wonky with how long that battle may or may not have taken but I'll just leave that there and fix it if need be.

[Pikmin Eye]

Not sure if at this point I am supposed to wait for @PlatinumSkink to do something or if I'm free to keep posting. As I am currently unsure, I shall wait until I get a reply.

[PlatinumSkink]

@Joshua Tamashii Kalmia saw no need to instill the "us VS them" mentality of the "my trainers could beat your trainers" thing that Kalmia and Jacques had going into Amelia. Especially when Joshua was being so friendly about it. Their little rivalry honestly seemed so childish to her right then, no need to disturb an actual child with it. Sorry about being treated as a child. Haha.

@Eklispe I'm going to go out on a limb and say you're not going to arrive before the swarm does. That said, that line still works. He still needs a hand. XD

[PlatinumSkink]

@Pyromaniacwolf So, tell me if you want to post something and do anything, but I keep on posting for now because, well, you're currently not in a place where you can do a lot. But yeah, tell me if you have something you wish to post about, and I can wait you in next time.

@Pink Madness No, that Cooltrainer didn't spawn out of nowhere because I wanted someone to praise Donna. What are you talking about? *cough*

But yes. Captured Pokémon are now entirely under the player's control, though with the details as I formed them before you captured them, like level, ability and gender. So there ya go.

@Eklispe@Pikmin Eye So, yeah. Dawkin will be arriving after the swarm, so likely the approach is going to look a little different. Buuuuuuuuut... yeah. Dawkin can still have said the line. Or he could have taken a different action. Hahaha.

Gosh, you guys have been fast. I'll note, I do not necessarily intend on posting every two days, but right now I don't mind, I slightly prioritize getting somewhere somewhat fast right now to not leave @Pyromaniacwolf standing there for an excessively long time waiting for the battle to end. Haha.

*reads through own post half a dozen times* Ya know, I get the feeling I could keep proofreading this forever. It's probably fine. I can hit the post button. Hahahaha.

[Pyromaniacwolf]

@PlatinumSkink You can just keep posting without me until this battle's over, not much I can imagine Lucian doing other than throwing a few snide comments at Oaken.
