[OOC] Pokémon: Start

[Mage]

@Project I will mention that everyone has quick-catching privileges, it's just that nobody has used them. I explained that at some point in the past. But, okay, you're just going to go for WHATEVER you might find on Route 1, eh? Alright, then. Let's see how that goes. Teh-heh. Nicely posted.

@PlatinumSkink

YES! Basically, surprise me! I'm counting on you ♥ XD

[Joshua Tamashii]

I was bored, so have a post.

Oh, hey, it pretty much constantly rains on Route 3. I may have read quite a few Pokédex entries, but if you know of any other Pokémon that are specifically described as liking rainy or damp places, tell me, because they'll probably exist somewhere on Route 3. Haha.

@Joshua Tamashii Huh. Nowhere? ... Okay. Huh. Oh, well. Anyways. There's at least one ghost here. It's not the main attraction, but it's here. And after reading that Pokédex entry I felt it reasonable to put a sign there. Haha.

@Pirouette There you go. No need to worry. I think. Haha. Anyways.

@Rune_Alchemist As written, you can completely ignore this guy and just head into the Gym if you feel like it. Or listen to him + ask questions, if you'd like. But this time, I have a guide-guy. Haha.

@PlatinumSkink

Posts are good. Also, pokemon that love damp places: Goomy.

[PlatinumSkink]

@Project Surprise you this early, eh. Well. I'll see what I can do. Heh.

@Joshua Tamashii Posts are indeed good. As is yours. Nicely posted. Simply raising your voice works well.

And yupp. Goomy's accounted for. Thank you. Haha.

[Pikmin Eye]

So this is going to sound like I am clueless, but how exactly did quick catching work? I either forgot or can't recall it being explained.

[PlatinumSkink]

@Pyromaniacwolf Alright, nicely posted. Yupp, calling up Mia. Heh, I'm amused you mention having questions, that's totally not going to scare her. Haha. Anyways. Let's see what she has to say, if she picks up the phone.

@Pikmin Eye Ah, right. I did explain it a while back, but, eh. So, now I've written a part about Quick-Catching / Quick-Fighting in the opening OOC post! All for anytime someone wants to remember!

Essentially, you just declare your intention to catch a Pokémon / defeat a trainer, you tell me what strategies you use, and then I tell you the result and how much damage you took without needing to drag it out into 2-4 post-exchanges. To be used if you'd like to skip a minor battle OOC but still want to do it IC or want a Pokémon but don't want to take the time to properly fight it, heh. Won't always be allowed, of course.

[Mage]

I found this quite amusing heh

[PlatinumSkink]

@TheIrishJJ Ah. Um. Erza actually stayed in Pureplain City to catch the different wild Pokémon that could be found. But, perhaps Rory missed that and went out to Route 1, anyways? Is this a "looking for trainer" command? Because, in any other situation, I decide if he sees someone with a Pokémon jumping off their shoulder or so. Unless you meant that to actually be Erza, in which case... well, he's not in Route 1. I'm just checking for your intention, here.

[Rune_Alchemist]

@PlatinumSkink

Hrm, I'll try and get a post up later this evening.

Been feeling a bit drained lately, sorry for the hold up.

[Pirouette]

@PlatinumSkink

Yea, I'm also planning on a post this evening.

[Rune_Alchemist]

Alright, a post.

Claire mostly ignores the guy and heads straight into the gym~

[PlatinumSkink]

@Rune_Alchemist *snicker* Okay, miss the entire Pokémon League explanation. Claire needs no explanations, she gets it well enough on her own. Haha. Nicely posted.

@Eklispe Pfffth, heh. Entertain her. That's also something to call battling with her for. But sure. This works well enough. Nicely posted.

@Pirouette Alright, you put it like that, eh? Haha. Alright. I know how she'll respond. Nicely posted.

I'll hopefully be posting within 36 hours.

[Mage]

I'll hopefully be posting within 36 hours.

@PlatinumSkink

On a side, unrelated note.. I'm getting a new tattoo this monday. I've never been so excited for a monday before.

[PlatinumSkink]

Gasp.

@Project There we go. You have a few less Pokéballs now. Haha.

@Joshua Tamashii I got your name down now. Anyways. Heh. What ya gonna do?

@Pyromaniacwolf She's got things on her own schedule, but she checks what she can do. Haha.

@TheIrishJJ I will note that I usually control everything, so you shouldn't need to give me a basis of what to go from. Like, seeing the silhouette and then describing the silhouette only gives me so much to play with. But, I ran with it this time and gave you an extremely low-level trainer. But, yeah, feel free to quick-beat if you want on with the adventure. Haha.

@Rune_Alchemist ... I'll note some of those Pokédex entries are hopefully exaggerated. Some of Machamp's stated it could throw enemies "over the horizon". What does that even mean? Do we want that? Gosh. Also, feel free to cut in at any moment you wish and twist things however you like, and those in there will react accordingly. Anyways. There ya go. Haha.

@Pirouette And yepp, your conviction is now being tested by the Dragon Watcher herself. How will you reply?

@Pikmin Eye And how's it going?

[Pirouette]

@PlatinumSkink

Test of conviction, huh? Well we will see how Erika responds.

Also do I have a choice in which dragon?

[Mage]

@PlatinumSkink

Oh boy, I might as well sign out to become a trainer at the 'master of normal' gym XD

I loved them, though! That was great. Now, for another titanic post. Behold.

[PlatinumSkink]

@Pirouette Oh, yes, sure. Pick the kind you want. Though, yeah, you probably can't have any of the evolved ones or Druddigons due to how that'd mess up the balance~ The idea was for one closer to your level, haha.

@Project You're catching them in Pureplain City, of course they're Normal-type! XD ... That aside, heh. Dorian might actually appreciate an apprentice. Haha.

Alright, nicely posted. I like the details. Haha. And, heh, you're actually heading to the trainer's school, eh? I was slightly expecting everyone to completely ignore it. Well, let's see what happens. XD

@Joshua Tamashii Tihi. Feeling safe, huh. Yeah, cute enough. Nicely posted.

@PlatinumSkink

Oh boy, I hope I didn't cause any problem with that, lol. I kinda noticed no one gave it attention, so I was like... "Why not? Back in Platinum, it was always fun battling the nerd kids with their TM Hidden Power Abra."

[Rune_Alchemist]

I'll be trying to post tomorrow~

[Joshua Tamashii]

@TheIrishJJ Heading in Amelia's direction eh? Maybe she and Rory will travel together for a bit.

[Pirouette]

@Joshua Tamashii

Reminds me, I was hoping to get Snorunt evolved before Erika and Amelia see each other again. So they can rock Ghost Pokémon together.
