[OOC] Pokémon: Start

[Pirouette]

@PlatinumSkink

Yes. Sorry, I’ve been annoyingly distracted lately. But now that you mention it, Erika’s plan would be to just use Chic who is already out. So I’d probavly go with listing the general strategy.... err hopefully later today I’ll post that?

[Eklispe]

Yeah I wasn't sure if I should write 'hurrying along' to avoid events or 'moving carefully' to avoid events so I went with the more by the book one.

[PlatinumSkink]

I'll post in a day, since 3/5ths of my active players are waiting for me, now.

@Joshua Tamashii@Eklispe Whelp, both Amelia and Dawkin can apparently tell what the other is trying to hide from them. XD

Does Dawkin adjust his actions with Amelia's words? There will be a relatively eventless period of walking here to do that, on. Heh.

[Eklispe]

In my defense Dawkin doesn't know exactly what's shes hiding, he just think she's wierd, mostly on account of the area. Anywho, I'll throw up a post but his actions won't change.

@Eklispe

To be fair, she has more then one secret.

[Pirouette]

@PlatinumSkink

Whew. Ok. Not a lot, been super tired lately but hopefully that's enough for a general strategy?

[PlatinumSkink]

... Phew. I think... that'll do.

@Pikmin Eye Had them talk about stuff. Maybe obvious things, but it occurred to me that Martin wouldn't have read the introductory crawl, sooooo... XD

after you read the post

And, hah. Trubbish was at a state where he was kind of okay with you, but since you phrased it like that. Had you asked him to stay, he probably would have without any specific feelings of apprehension. But, you put it so neutrally. Since you did, the attraction of the waste of the Industrial District of Worldedge City, as well as a certain desire for freedom, won out. ... Yeah.

@Eklispe@Joshua Tamashii Here you go. Have fun dealing with that.

@Rune_Alchemist Nicely posted. Alright, moving on. You've now entered Mt. Strength. I'm giving you the option of doing whatever you want here, though Anise has a particular destination in mind. If you'd like to be guided by Anise, feel free to just tell me, and I can go ahead and post that part, too, so you can react to it all in one swoop. Yepp.

@Pirouette Nicely posted, I am happy to see you found the time and want. I hope you'll find your energy again soon. :)

So, going by that, I simply went along as far as it would without any Pokémon necessarily fainting the other. Would you like to throw a Pokéball here? If so, I can type what happens. Or, if you do anything else, like continuing the battle, you can post about it in your next post.

[Pirouette]

@PlatinumSkink

Yep yep. Erika would throw a poke ball

[PlatinumSkink]

@Pirouette Alright. A Pokéball is thrown!

spoiler to result

So, uh. Throw another one or other tactic? Inkay's around at 1/3 of health and has set up Reflect.

[Rune_Alchemist]

@PlatinumSkink

Yep, Claire is probably gonna follow Anise, so go ahead and add that if you want.

[PlatinumSkink]

@Rune_Alchemist Alright. More added to the bottom of your segment. Still inside the entering Mt. Strength hider, that is.

after you've read that

So, funny thing. I already knew how the teams of these two would look like at this stage from, like, WAAAAAY back. I also knew they'd be going this direction, and that the first person to enter Mt. Strength would encounter them. So, uh. Any incompatibility with your team should you happen to engage is not entirely on me. XD

[Rune_Alchemist]

@PlatinumSkink

Oh boy this is gonna be fun

[PlatinumSkink]

@Pikmin Eye Alright. Nicely posted. Let's see what you can find, then.

@Eklispe And yupp, nicely posted. Onto planning and such, heh.

[Rune_Alchemist]

Whew, sorry for the slight delay on that one. I've been fighting some writers block recently.

I get the feeling Clarie may have interrupted something, but well, we'll see~

[Pirouette]

Whew, sorry for the slight delay on that one. I've been fighting some writers block recently.

@Rune_Alchemist

I know the feeling x.-

[PlatinumSkink]

Let me just take this moment to say I love you guys.

@Joshua Tamashii *snicker* I see your strategy here. I am amused. Let me see what I figure would happen. Nicely posted.

@Rune_Alchemist You're certainly interrupting something. Heh. Nicely posted.

@Pirouette Alright, another ball thrown, nicely posted. Now, let's see.

...

And there, I have posted.

@Pikmin Eye You did write that you were checking for Poison-types in the flavor, so I put a bit of a preference towards that. Then I checked the available Pokémon and decided this would be fun. I'm curious to your reaction.

@Eklispe@Joshua Tamashii I figure the Dodrio has some kind of system in place to avoid this exact thing happening, but that's not to say the system is unbeatable. So, how about now? Teh-heh.

@Rune_Alchemist You're free to act at any point in there, commanding another attack or so. But, yeah, if you do, add the hider below for the events that happen. I intentionally kept Anise from acting further in case you want to make a strategy with her.

@Pirouette

telling result

And there you go. Went a little better this time. You're free to act again, heh.

Also, gosh, Inkay. Why do you learn a 95 power move (Foul Play) at level 8? That's Ice Beam/Flamethrower/Thunderbolt level power! Geesh! XD

[Pirouette]

@PlatinumSkink

Aww skinky, u da best.

Anyway, it is good to know that Inkay packs a punch. Now Time to continue mining. Erika and Chic could probably mine the big stone and I had thought once or twice more because of the exact same reason.

Edit: Also just realized that Chic has Blaze. Which if she would have used ember again (something I was thinking), she would have likely KO'd Inkay. x.x Thank goodness I went straight for the Pokeball.

..Aaaaandd... I decided to have a bit of fun with Inkay. Make her an initial challenge to train and battle with since I don't want it too easy with Foul Play. Kay's personality will be fun to develop. Also got around to Chic's personality which I kind of stumbled upon.

[Joshua Tamashii]

@PlatinumSkink small post is small, sorry about that.

[Lord Frostecs]

Umm, am I able to join? I am a multiparagraph roleplayer who is fairly active, and has a love for both pokemon and writing! I will be active most of my waking hours, and am a very... Interesting person outside of roleplay. If I am not allowed to join, that is fine, I can go elsewhere. Hope to see you lads around!

[PlatinumSkink]

@Joshua Tamashii Since you didn't complete that thought, I prioritized getting something out quickly so you can continue that. @Eklispe Give a shout if you want Dawkin to do something else during this and I can wait with my next post for you two until you've written too, heh.

@Pirouette So, I consulted my charts for this place, checked in with lady luck, and you found... this one. Not a rock, not sure if it's anything you're even remotely interested in, but hey, it's something? XD

@SupernovaBlitz Aaaaah... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

Well, we have lost a few players. The waiting list is empty. I did feel five players to be a bit little, but I kind of didn't want more than six. I probably shouldn't actually, because it encourages ignoring the "full" status, but I'm going to go ahead and go with the easy way out and say sure. I'll still want you to start out getting a Pokémon from Professor Kalmia in Pureplain City. Ask if you want any other details. Don't post in the char section until I have approved. I'll note I'm currently exhausted as heck about to go to sleep and I'll be going on a trip tomorrow and over the week-end. I'll still have internet, but I'll be distracted, heh.

So, yeah. Sure. If it's just one more, sure. I can entertain that. Most areas around there are already written (and not just planned), so it'll take relatively little effort, hah. Could you get yourself a profile picture? It'd help give you a likable identity and encourage me that you're willing to invest, heh.

Edit: Oh, but old players returning are obviously still fine. Just wanted to add that in just in case any of them end up reading this.
