[OOC] Pokemon: New World

@DusksongI'm going to post soon I guess xD

[LuckyBlackCat]

@Zarkun Timelines are getting a bit messed up here, do we just time skip a bit and say it's sunset when Cici and Tommy get to Feyhollow?

@LuckyBlackCat

I might be able to clear this up. Yes, your timelines must skip to sunset if you are posting today (IRL). Once tomorrow (IRL) gets here, the sun will be completely gone. You can start a post with the sun still up, and then notice the sun start to set by the end of your post. That's fine. As long as you acknowledge that time is moving forward.

@Balthazar007 @Zarkun Ok. Zarkun, feel free to have the two of them arrive in Feyhollow in your next post.

[Zarkun]

@Balthazar007 I forgot the mention, but Tommy bought two pokeballs and a potion before leaving Central.

@balthazar007 so um Shanae has more than three Pokemon.... How does the bonus work for her? Do I pick, or is it just which Pokemon she has out at the moment (only two D:) or is it just her first three? Because I'd hate to have to bend plot and whatnot to get the full extent of the bonus xD

[Balthazar007]

@Dusksong

The first thing I will do is give a level to each Pokémon that you mention in your IC post, in the order that you mention them. If someone doesn't mention any Pokemon or doesn't mention three, I will then go to your Pokedex (within your official stats) and level up the first Pokemon listed that you haven't mentioned in your post.

[Typical]

@balthazar007 Sounds good :) Just checking to figure out how it works--maybe add it to the intro post?

Two Small Updates

Please reexamine the "Ranks" section of the manual and the "Day and Night Cycle" part of the "Pace" section. First, expert and Master ranks have been made easier to obtain. Second, I have elaborated further on which three Pokemon receive a level boost for posting on sunrise of sunset.

Alright Everyone! Now is the time to put the word out there! Lets see if we can't get three to five more users to join us within the next couple of weeks! I'm going to start by making an 'Interest Checks' in the "Casual" Forums. If you can think of any other way to help, go for it!!!

Link to Interest Check: roleplayerguild.com/topics/153848-poke..

saw the interest check and decided to wander over, poke around the thread a bit. i'm always game for a good pokemon rp. might have a cs up in the near future.

i'm considering playing in an actively malicious character… my characters typically have good intentions (even if they sometimes have dubious moral standards…) so someone a little meaner might be a nice challenge.

i'm still deciding, though. i'm also playing with the idea of a hyped-up goofball or a quiet, more serious and driven character. who knows.

@c3p-0h

I like your direction! Whatever way you'd like to go with it sounds good to me!

[Balthazar007]

Pokemon GO, Halloween Event is AWESOME!!! Gotta get that Gengar!

[c3p-0h]

my character's all done!

Lui

Name: Luigi "Lui" Lama
Age: 25
Starting Location: Feyhollow Town
Rank: Beginner
Organization:
Occupation: Violinist

Appearance:


Biography: Luigi Lama comes from a bustling metropolis, filled with so many faces that it's easy to miss his. He grew up an only child in a relatively average family – dad was a business man, mom stayed at home to give her son all the care and attention (she thought) he needed. Luigi was an average student at best and a stringy, uncoordinated beanpole of a boy, so academic and athletic excellence weren't options. And so, Mama Lama pushed him towards the arts. He wasn't particularly fond of violin, but with enough hours of practice ("encouraged" by his mother) Luigi found he was actually pretty good at it. Great, even.

Before long he was doing concerts, accompanying bands, and making a decent name for himself in the musical world. At least, as much of a name as a violinist could have. He started going by the stage name "Lui" (he is distinctly aware of what an unfortunate name "Luigi Lama" is… as were most of his classmates growing up) and gained a small, but devoted fanbase comprised mostly of teenaged girls to his bewilderment.

Recently he's seen an opportunity to escape his mother's care: Lui is going on tour. Well, that's what he told her anyway. In reality it's more like he's wandering from town to town, exploring and playing for money where he can. However much money he makes though, he always seems to be broke. If Lui has passion for anything, it's food. Delicious, expensive food. He'll spend more money than wise on a single meal and have barely enough left for a bottle of water after. Oh well. Such is the life of a traveling artist.

Personality: Lui's teenaged fanbase seems to have crafted a persona for him – quiet, solemn, thoughtful, mysterious… in reality he's just awkward. He was always a nervous boy, unsure of how to interact with others and too self-conscious to try. He's usually content to just do as he's told, relying on others' judgement rather than taking on the responsibility of making decisions himself. Lui's a people pleaser and rule follower. Deciding to take his show on the road was startlingly out of character, shocking anyone who knew him. He's still getting used to not having anyone to dictate his every move and call him out on every decision.

Pokemon Party: N/A

[Typical]

@c3p-0h I take it that you decided against the antagonist-type character? Or is his malevolence just excluded from the CS haha?

[c3p-0h]

My friend suggested the nervous loser type of character and I was just so endeared haha. But maybe as he gets a stronger personality we'll discover he's not so nice =P I'm kinda leaning towards that, but we'll see

@balthazar007 double post 'cuz forgot to ask, but if we equip an item (ie the battle amulet) to a Pokemon, would we be able to switch items out mid-battle? Or no?

[c3p-0h]

@Balthazar007 also do Pokémon level up for battling wild Pokémon? Or just trainers?

[Typical]

@c3p-0h Pokemon only level up by:
a) Participating in a battle with a trainer controlled by another person
b) Consuming a level-up product from the Poke Mart
c) From a sunrise/sunset post bonus

So, no, to answer your question :)

[Balthazar007]

@balthazar007 double post 'cuz forgot to ask, but if we equip an item (ie the battle amulet) to a Pokemon, would we be able to switch items out mid-battle? Or no?

@Dusksong

Like in the games, hold items will not be able to switch out mid battle.

And thank you for answering @c3p-0h's question regarding Pokemon leveling up. That was a comprehensive answer.

[Balthazar007]

@c3p-0h
Also, I like your character! There is one thing missing from his biography though. How has he come across his first Pokeball and Pokedex? Who gave them to him? You don't necessarily have to include this in your CS; alternatively, you can discus this in your first IC post. But it MUST be mentioned in or before that first IC post.

With that in mind, you can post this to the 'Characters' tab whenever you like. I will approve of it ASAP and you can begin to post IC.
