[OOC] Pokemon: New World

[Typical]

@silver fox@toadropes Are either of your characters interested in picking up the Onix? If not, mind if I snag it for Cillian? I'm fine either way right now though -- Cillian's got two new and unnamed Pokemon as-is.

//edit: messed up your tag yet again, toad. Keep thinking you should be "toadsteps" ._. how'd you come up with your user anyway? It's unique but doesn't ring any bells here (i haven't asked this question already, have I?)

@Dusksong

I actually was going to have Tora catch it :D just didn't do it this post to make the biggin be a bit difficult xD but if you really want it you can.

Many other pokes to catch :D

[Typical]

@silver fox ah that's what I thought haha. Nope, it's all yours since you brought it into the story. Feel free to snag it -- lemme get a post up first tho xD

[ToadRopes]

Rule number 1: Don't mess with Mama Leavanny

[LuckyBlackCat]

@Zarkun You can move Cici and Tommy along if you want, Cici would agree to go to Tefan. She'd want some peace and quiet in the mountains. Of course, given her luck so far, she'd be unlikely to get that...

@LuckyBlackCat

I can do that. Sorry for not posting sooner, the staples were making it hard to think.

[LuckyBlackCat]

@Zarkun Ah, are you feeling better now?

[LuckyBlackCat]

@Balthazar007 @Dusksong Two things:

1) I got round to editing Ella's backstory and my earlier posts with her. She grew up around smaller beauty shows, but still has an interest in contests (she's aiming pretty high). Is that ok?

2) I'm planning an organisation and a skilled character. (This isn't the research organisation... well, it is technically about research, but a specific kind.) What are the guidelines for both?

[ToadRopes]

@Dusksong Did you by any chance accidentally call Juana "Tora?" I mean i get it, they're both bisyllabaic names with an -a ending, and it's an error I sometimes make.

[Zarkun]

@Zarkun Ah, are you feeling better now?

@LuckyBlackCat

I got the staples taken out yesterday, so yeah, considerably XD Though I still have a giant incision in my gut.

[Typical]

@toadropes gah brainfart, dun goofed. Yep, I definitely did mean Juana there. Sorry and thanks for pointing it out! (Or it'll have been documented for posterity and I don't need this sort of documentation)

@luckyblackcat Mk so here are the guidelines:

Creating a Skilled Trainer

Skilled: To obtain this rank, your character must catch six Pokemon, battle with one other user controlled trainer, and travel to one other location other than that character's starting location. At this rank, your character can use more items, control tier 3 Pokemon, and access more features within the world.

So this would mean that your Skilled trainer has six Pokemon and has been in one battle. (tier 3 = first evolution for basics with three. pulled this quote from the website, that place is a gold mine although some things are tweaked a little) When I created Shanae, @balthazar007 allowed me to freely disperse 6 extra levels onto Shanae's existing six Pokemon for a maximum of twelve levels for those six Pokemon (Pokemon have to at least be level 1), so that's that.

Creating an Organization

For this one I kinda-sorta just edited Balth's original version to suit my needs. Here's Balth's organization post, and just sub in information.

Organization Template

[center][h1]Organization[/h1]
[img]i809.photobucket.com/albums/zz16/dogho..

[b]Name:[/b] League Prime
[b]Organization HQ:[/b] Central City

[b]Mission Statement:[/b] We embrace the art of battling. Our Pokemon grow strong by our side, and we become closer for it! We vow to always treat Pokemon and each other with respect.

[b]Organization History:[/b]
[indent]Thomas Rikon was said to be a Pokemon master long ago. Rumor is that he caught over 300 different Pokemon including two of the three [url=bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Legend.. Titans[/url]. Some say that he never felt the sting of defeat. Others tell tale of rare occasions that he was defeated. One thing is known for sure, he was the best Pokemon trainer of his day.

[hider=Thomas][img]i809.photobucket.com/albums/zz16/dogho..
Thomas became tired in his old age. Eventually, he no longer had the energy to go out battling every day like he did in his youth. Thomas began to feel bad for his vast collection of Pokemon as too many of them simply waited, never being brought out to play. Feeling this guilt, Thomas retired from battling all together. He released his entire collection of Pokemon, all except for his beloved Pidgeot, the first Pokemon that he ever caught. Pidgeot spends most of its time outside of it's Poke Ball, right by Thomas's side.

Shortly after Thomas retired, he started League Prime. He hoped that this league would help future generations of trainers discover the beauty of battle. Nothing warms his heart more than watching young trainers and their Pokemon grow as a team.
[/indent]
[u][b]Bonus Points[/b]
[/u][indent]
[b]1 Point:[/b] Whenever you battle, all posts within that battle will earn you one extra trainer point. This also includes wild Pokemon battles.

[b]5 Points:[/b] Whenever you finish a battle with another player, you will gain these 5 extra trainer points.

[b]10 Points:[/b] Once a "Day" you will earn 10 extra trainer points when you defeat another trainer in a battle.
[/indent]

[b]Membership Requirements:[/b] You must have caught a Pokemon and have been in a battle with either another trainer or a wild Pokemon. Simply tag @Balthazar007 in an IC post if you meet these requirements and would like to enter this organization.

[h3]Central City Mission Board[/h3]
[i]Against the left wall upon entering the League Prime head quarters, you will find a wall full of postings. People from far and wide submit mission requests to the beloved Thomas Rikon in hopes that his feisty band of battling trainers can help them solve their unique problems.[/i]

[hider=Available Missions][b][i]There are no missions at the moment.[/i][/b]

The "[ hr ]"'s don't copy-paste over for some reason, instead showing up as full-on lines even when I have it in "code" so watch out for that. If you want you can just mosey over to the CS section and copy-paste it yourself so it's easier xD

If you have any questions pertaining to anything, feel free to ask! Especially if something up there^^ confused you xD

[LuckyBlackCat]

@Zarkun Take your time, though.

@Dusksong Thanks, I'll PM you if I have any questions.

[Silver Fox]

@Dusksong

Hey Dusk, isn't our Pokemon only suppose to use moves that are their type? XD

[ToadRopes]

@Silver FoxI thought that was for, like, official PNW-logged battles so I was having Corphish doing Vicegrips and Bounsweet Rapid Spinning and all that...

[Typical]

@silver fox@toadropes Yeah technically you're correct, Fox, but these battles don't count for anything so I'm just pulling moves from the Pokemons' movepools and whatnot. In official battles no one should be doing this, but I don't think it matters for informal ones. So, be free and use those moves :D

[LuckyBlackCat]

@Dusksong What should we do? Have our characters retreat to the Pokecentre for now, or wait for @Lugubrious Olivie to step in?

[Typical]

@luckyblackcat How about they run away and smack into Olivie (+bernard??) with the Malamar in pursuit? Drama + interesting + fun :D

[LuckyBlackCat]

@Dusksong Yep! That should happen. Olivie now has to drag yet more people out of trouble xD

[Lugubrious]

That works. I can post for Olivie and Bernard later this evening.

[Typical]

@toadropes @silver fox can they finally find the granbull or do you want them to go through more trials and more character development first? I'm fine either way, but just wondering what I should write xD
