[OOC] Pokemon: New World

[Typical]

@balthazar007 Ooo what's the rule on ancient Pokemon (ie Kabuto)? Is finding them in the wild feasible, or should trainers abide by game lore, find fossils, and get them restored? Doing so would use up a Pokeball all the same, but just wanna clarify 'cuz typing works for most fossil Pokemon.

[Dark Light]

Alright everyone! This has been another long weekend at work, but I have caught up with all the IC posts and responded to everyone's PMs. Keep in mind that the midnight hour in this RP is quickly approaching. On the first of November (IRL) our RP will push forward to the next IC day. But it will still be night time until the 9th of November.

Thanks everyone. I'll do some more work on the manual in the morning before work tomorrow!

@Balthazar007

.... Ummm :S does that mean I'm approved yet? I never got a PM :(

[Typical]

@dark light I do believe that your first listed character, "Viv," has been approved. If you check the first OOC post, you will find that she is listed under the "active trainers" tab, so I'd say to go ahead and start posting if you'd like :)

Also, just to check in, I replied to your PM about the new location--did you by chance see it?

[Dark Light]

YAY!!!!!

[Typical]

Mk here's the pretty-much-finalized version of my location:

My Hider

New Location!!!

Name: Atana Village

Location Type:Village

Pokemon Types: Rock, Ground, Metal, Ice, Water, Dark, Psychic, Fairy, Dragon, Flying

---

Lore:
The Atana Mountain Range stretches across several hundred miles to the far north of Central City where the air is colder and crisper to the touch. The magnificence of the mountains draws many a hiker and nature lover, but trainers and researchers will also find themselves travelling far and wide to journey up the mountain and into its secret caverns where a multitude of rare Pokemon are said to dwell.

The Atana Caverns are divided into two types: Icy and Deep. The Icy Atana Caverns are the shallower caverns found upwards the mountain where Ice, Dark, Water, Ground, and Rock type Pokemon have been documented to dwell. Journey far enough into a cavern and you will find yourself within the Deep Atana Caverns—caverns full of rare and mysterious Pokemon. Here trainers have been said to find Dark, Psychic, Fairy, Water, Rock, Ground, Metal, Ice, and Dragon Pokemon. Venturing into the caverns can be hazardous as the caverns are a sort of labyrinth in their own right, almost completely untouched by civilization. If lucky, a trainer may even come across a cavern full of natural crystals and gems, although respect for the mountain often persuades trainers not to pilfer its beauties.

Outside, the mountain is still a treacherous place often billowing with blizzards and pitfalls of snow or even the rare avalaunch. If trainers are not careful, they will easily find themselves injured or worse, so Poke Corp guidelines recommend that only experienced trainers attempt the hike into the labyrinth of caverns or to the mountain’s peak. As one of the tallest mountains in the region, the view from the top of Mt. Atana is awe-inspiring as one will be able to see for miles and miles around, with the ocean on one side and the rest of the region on the other. Towards the top of the mountain trainers can find Ice, Rock, Ground, Metal, and Flying type Pokemon. However, some have reported sightings of dragon types that have wandered outside the mountain or simply journeyed out to stretch their wings. Such sightings have only been documented a few times as most dragon types stay well within the safety of the caverns.

The legends of Kyurem, the dual ice-dragon type legendary stem from the peaks of Mt. Atana where it is said that lucky trainers may catch a sight of the fantastical Pokemon when it is not deep in slumber somewhere in the heart of the mountain’s labyrinth of caverns. Rayquaza, the lord of the skies, is also said to grace the peak of Mt. Atana with his presence at times, clearing the stormy clouds that so often bring blizzards in their wake to reveal the brilliantly blue skies.

The tales these two legendary dragons have spread far and wide since locals enjoy telling stories of such sightings to tourists and travelers, but there is no substantial evidence to prove any of the stories true. Rather, visitors are encouraged to visit the icy shrine located in a cave towards the top of the mountain and see the extremely lifelike rendering of Regice that locals take such pride in. The shrine has been there for as long as memory goes, as has the statue, so there is no reason to believe that it is anything but. However, locals still advise travellers not to touch lest they incur the wrath of the legendary Pokemon that was said to have occupied the hidden cave so many years ago.

Atana Range Pit Stops:

Scattered throughout the lower parts of the range as well as at the foot of the mountains, these small-sized shops offer what trainers absolutely cannot go without. These shops cater towards skilled trainers rather than beginners due to their location.

Items in Stock

*Great Ball: 20 points: Skilled Item - Use this item to catch middle tier Pokemon in your area.

*Super Potion: 10 points: Skilled Battle Item - Use this item to heal 20 HP of one Pokemon.

*Ice Heal: 5 points: Skilled Battle Item - Use this item to cure a Pokemon from ‘Freeze'.

Atana Mountain Range Mission Board

At the foot of Mt. Atana is a large bulletin board encased in glass where the locals post up their requests for trainers brave enough to scale the mountain or venture into the caverns. Skilled trainers also post requests here to test other trainers, and trainers who wish to take a request can simply request the pit stop owner to open the case for them so they can retrieve the correct paper.

Available Missions

The bulletin is as white as the snow below it, empty and without a single request in sight..

Fixed it so it fulfills the "village" requirement--10 types, 3 items, 3 legendaries. @zarkun if you're going dragon, I hope you have a nice theme going because I think I've pretty much taken up the dragon-mountain one 0_0

//edit: legendaries are now Kyurem, Rayquaza, and Regice.

@Dusksong

Oh, mine was just a mountain Village, not a full range.

EDIT: REALLY tall mountain with a village on it. Volcano would work.

[Typical]

@zarkun mine is technically a village too, although the village is so meager that it's basically just a collection of stops by the mountain that sell necessities. Say, what legendaries are you thinking then? You need three, and if you're going with fire... entei/moltres/groudon? :D

[Zarkun]

Still haven't nailed any down for sure, though Latios WAS at the top of the list for considerations. Probably won't have psychic types now XD

[LuckyBlackCat]

@Zarkun You could possibly have Fighting types. If you're going for the opposite of Dusksong's location, which has Psychic types, then Fighting would create even more contrast as it's the physical counterpart to Psychic.

That and a few Fire types are also Fighting.

@LuckyBlackCat

I've been throwing the idea around. I should have some types nailed down in the next couple of days. Figuring out so many was harder than I thought it would be XD

[Balthazar007]

@Dusksong @LuckyBlackCat @Zarkun @Lugubrious @Eklispe @KiritoAsuna @Iatos @Dark Light @Brose @c3p-0h

Alright!

We are moving along nicely! We have some new locations and new characters abound! There is no need to advertise any more for a couple weeks now. Our user base is large enough as it is, even if some of our users are slow to post at the moment (including myself).

Today I rolled out a new feature. Previously, Organizations came with a character, hence Dusksong's creation of Shanae in order to lead the Helping Hand Guild. From now on though, creating an organization does not automatically give you a new character. Instead, I have added the option of saving up CPs in order create new Characters that start off at higher ranks. See the "How do I create content for this RP?" section of the manual.

Remember, tomorrow IRL (the 1st of November), will start the next IC day. It will still be night time, but the midnight hour will have passed. Sunrise is still on the November the 9th.

Thanks Everyone!!

[LuckyBlackCat]

@Zarkun @Eklispe @Dark Light I'll be able to post within the next few hours.

@Iatos Getting your Sneasel is perfectly doable now. :)

[Dark Light]

@LuckyBlackCat Ahh the suspense is killing me!

Anyway, is there any rules attached to catching a second Pokemon, I mean beside the tier and type.
Once I have a pokeball can I just go for it?

[LuckyBlackCat]

@Dark Light Yeah, as long as it's lower-tier and it's in an appropriate location, you can get your second Pokemon once you have a Pokeball.

[Dark Light]

Second question... Are Pokemart's open 24 hours?
Coz it seems that's the next place I need to go!

(Hmm, who else do I want in my team..)

[Iatos]

@LuckyBlackCatGuess I get started around daybreak or something.

[LuckyBlackCat]

@Dark Light Well, you get plenty of trainers looking for Pokemon at night, so it'd make sense.

[Typical]

@dark light I'd assume that all Pokemon Trainer services are open 24/7 since there are a /lot/ of trainers and therefore a lot of different schedules. Also, they're open 24/7 in the games :)

Just a little heads up about the Atana range--it's really far away from Central, so catch the train from the city. Or walk there? I'm assuming that Feyhollow is a town relatively untouched by civilization and therefore does not have a train, but I could be wrong... @luckyblackcat

[Eklispe]

Oof let myself get behind, that should put be back up to speed.

[Balthazar007]

Oof let myself get behind, that should put be back up to speed.

@Eklispe

Please separate your character's IC post from your Location post. You can cut and paste your character's IC post into a separate post. In this situation, I'm okay with you "double posting". I just want less clutter when people go back to look at your location.

Also. Let's put a price tag on your special items. "Skilled" Special Items will cost 50 TPs. "Expert" will cost 100 TPs
