[OOC] Pokemon: New World

[Silver Fox]

@dark light @luckyblackcat waiting in your posts :) (also needed to post spmething so this thread doesn't seem so sad...)

So, contests seem to be a big part of everyone's interest. How do you all wanna see it played out? Any ideas for systems; anything you want to see?

@Dusksong

I'd like to know the system with Pokemon Eggs.

Contests would be fun too. Dunno how'd that work. Maybe let other rpers be the judges of how well described it is or something.

Is it wrong that a Battle Frontier or Gym set up is more my thing?

@Zarkun

Nah. Just everyone has different preferences xD

[Typical]

@zarkun not at all! Especially since gyms are such a big part of the core game series. I've seen a couple RP's go with Pokemon showdown, but I dunno if we're gonna go that route. Perhaps just let writers themselves write the battles like npc battles? With the requirement of realism and whatnot... But that's a given.

@silver fox oh my the list just grows longer and longer xD but yes! Pokemon eggs will be a part of this--perhaps you could judt multiply your pokemon by buying 1-5 Pokeballs in advance? I don't see anything wrong with having your Pokemon breed as long as you have the Pokeballs to back the litter up... Unless you wanna turn them free.

@balthazar007 what do you think about Poke eggs?

As for contests player judgement will probably be best, but I dunno. Is thhere a better system? I've also seen RP's where members are elected as "co-GMs" specifically for judging contests... Perhaps that could be implemented?

[LuckyBlackCat]

@Dusksong Yeah, for contests, other people could judge posts (that's how it works in some RPs).

And yes, I'd love to see gyms! In fact, I have an idea for the Feyhollow gym.

How would double battles work? Because I'm thinking Ella's sisters could be the Fairy-type gym leaders. Or one could be in charge of the gym while the other does her part-time job as a contest judge, and they could alternate.

[Typical]

@luckyblackcat well there is an option of doubles on pokemon showdown, so there's that, but if we're going to let writers control their own story then it can go however they want. All we have to do is figure out the gym leader's line up.

The sisters sound more like characters that way xD if you're going to make them and characterize them as judges, I don't think it'd be too weird to let you run the gym/contest in that area. After all, you made the area and control the mission board. But, I think we should limit it to either a gym or a contest hall for towns, as towns are probably not that busy? Maybe both for cities as they're larger? Scale to be worked out.

@balthazar007 thoughts?

My Stages Of Acceptance

Receiving the news: Wow I haven't posted here in a while.
Denial: Nah its not that bad
Depression: Wow I haven't posted in so long everybody probably already moved on. Look no one's talking about me
Bargaining: Well maybe if I just make an OOC post or something and ask if anybody wants to interact. But maybe I shouldn't.
Acceptance: Wow I'm such a wuss

So yah. Haven't posted in a while despite checking the thread quasi-frequently. Anybody open for interactions with resident dashing poketrainer Raven?

[Typical]

@eklispe Please, so little time has passed in-character that it doesn't make a difference. If you must know, all the characters are (or should be, I think) asleep by now, so just put up a post about Raven crashing someplace.

As for interactions, Cillian's currently out and about in the middle of the night (been procrastinating on his posts...) so if Raven wants to meet up with him, that'd be cool. He's somewhere in the forest, looking into an Onix cave -- not that he knows it yet.

Other than that, I'll leave it open for everyone else to offer up interactions :)

// edit: and, welcome back :D Was thinking about tagging you one of these days just to ask how it was going since I often see you popping by but not posting, but decided not to call you out on it ;)

[ToadRopes]

[LuckyBlackCat]

@Dusksong @Dark Light Oh dear, Ella's name choices... There are going to be more names like that. Which Vivian will probably expect.

[Dark Light]

Hey, could anybody help me out with a list of low tier Pokemon that could act as mounts? (Be ridden)

[Typical]

@dark light As this RP is mostly writer-led, I think you're free to have your character ride any Pokemon they want. Common sense is the unofficial boundary... I don't think it's really necessary to come up with a definite list, or it would only make sense to do so for all Pokemon that can use all the HM moves and whatnot (sizewise, i mean. Because zubat can technically learn fly...)

I say we just let sleeping dogs lie and call people out for the unreasonable stuff, like riding Caterpies and whatnot. How about it?

[Dark Light]

@Dusksong
Yea but I don't know of all the suitably sized/shaped Pokemon for riding so I was hoping to get some ideas from everyone else. Saving me from reading the entire pokedex one by one and examining the picture and checking the heights.

(I'm pretty sure no one was gonna say zubat)

Edit: Pokemon that can be caught and used by beginner trainers.

[Silver Fox]

@Dark Light

Ponyta, Onix, Rhyhorn, Skiddo, Mantyke, most of the water types could probably pull you like they do in the show (minus maybe things like Horsea)

And there are a few others. Like those that don't evolve

[ToadRopes]

Mudsdale, Tauros, Stoutland, and Machamp serve as mounts in Sun/Moon (like holy cow Stoutland is a huge doge).

@ToadRopes

Haha, piggy-backin around on a machamp!
Reminds me of a meme about how when sleeping it's cute to cuddle your pikachu but not so much your machoke.

The picture made me lol.

I have found the pkmn I am after tho XD
(I forgot onyx was available because of his steelix evolution. But it's not him)

@ToadRopes

Cept most of those aren't available for beginner level. Gotta be at least skilled for Tauros. Probably will catch Onix, Skiddo or Ponyta for Tora since she'll need one. Eventually will just ride Archie when she evolves into Arcanine

Edit: As for Machamp, in Sun or Moon, there was one who just carried around its trainer xD

@Dark Light

Machamp literally cradles you like a wee babe as it pushes rocks around

[Typical]

@dark light haha I guess... I mean I'd say that anything that's physically heavier than your character should be able yo be considered (rrference weights on bulbapedia). Then, use common sense.

Are you just looking for Pokemon that can carry your trainer? Just look for the really big ones like onix. Here's the link to the list of Pokemon by weight: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_Pok%C3%A9mon_by_weight

I'd say anything over around ~200lb ought to be good.

Also reference the height list if you want: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_Pok%C3%A9mon_by_height

@silver fox whoa the radiant bell and legendary crystal necklace... 0_0 can the effects stack? (Ie one of each and/or three bells --> +6TP each post??)

Balth cleared this, right? So... Mechanics...

@Dusksong

Yes. These effects can stack. 6 TP per post is possible if you have these two items. I will however like everyone to be reasonable with the number of Pokemon that you use in one post. I'll set a three Pokemon per post limit if this becomes an issue.

@Balthazar007

Probably be awhile for that problem to arise unless someone comes up with another TP item. Since the bells are for experts and are 100 TP each. XD
