[OOC] Pokemon Chrome

[I-Am-X]

And here I was talking about bonds of friendship.
Ya guys and your filthy minds.

[alexfangtalon]

Quadruple face palm! I just figured out what Itano meant in his last pic post.

[Kafka Komedy]

Hey, I got myself into too many RPs at once here. Esspecially with me GMing my own, I just wouldn't be able to keep up with so many posts. Sorry folks.

[Sho Minazuki]

@Sho Minazuki So, when and where is the first Pokémon Contest probably going to be?

@alexfangtalon

Well... Here's a low-down on the ranks available in each city. This is probably the only bit I have yet to add to the mechanics sheet, so it'll be there shortly after this post.

Stellite - Super, Hyper
Shakudo - Beginner, Normal, Super
Brittanium - Hyper, Master
Ormolu - Beginner, Normal, Super
Cobalt - Beginner, Normal, Super
Beryllium - Normal, Super, Hyper

There's no Beginner rank available in Beryllium and Brittanium, since they're both considered prestigious cities.

Now, basically when you start, you can only do Beginner. By winning 3rd, 2nd, or 1st place in Beginner, you qualify for the next rank, and so on.

However, to qualify for Hyper, you need to be in 2nd or 1st place.

And to qualify for Master, you need to have won in 2 Hyper Contests in 3rd or 2nd place, or win 1 Hyper Contest in 1st place.

So make your plans. It can be quick, or long, depending on your skill.

hey I finally decided to show up here's my shitty cs

Novis

[ Novis Shannon ]

Age: 18
Gender: Male
Nationality: Unovan/Chromian, born in Opelucid City
Personality:
He's the guy who always picks dare, and always plays rock. Notoriously high-energy and easily excitable, Novis doesn't take too much seriously and is generally just there for the ride. Not to say he doesn't have passion (he has it in spades), but his talent is rolling with the punches. He's more of a in-the-present type of guy, y'know? Generally doesn't worry about the future, and especially doesn't worry about the past.

The most eager to ride a flying-type.

Biography:
First things first: no, Novis hates dragon-types. One might expect a tragic "a mega-Haxorus killed my parents and now I must avenge them" backstory, but no, he thinks it's because an Axew bit his hand when he was young and now he's just kinda afraid of them. Awkward, when you live in a city with a dragon-type gym leader.

Except he didn't really live there too long, considering one of his earliest memories was moving to his Uncle's place in Damascus town. It was pretty standard living for a while-- minus the gripping phobia of dragon-types-- and the only real irregularity was that his single uncle worked in the mines way too long and Nov was pretty alone everyday 'till late in the evening. Thus, he took to taking care of his uncle's Growlithes. They were fairly popular and sold quickly, so they just let their Arcanines have a puppy every once in a while. To occupy the boredom between friends and school or whatever, he just took care of them. It was a pretty good time, and once he was older, Nov started taking it more seriously and basically bred fire-types part-time with his Uncle, who still worked in the mine, albeit less than when Nov was a tween.

Did you know Espeon and Growlithe can breed? Well, they can, and now he's just kinda here to beat the league one day and maybe catch an ice-type or two. Standard stuff.

Inventory:
5/5 Potions
5/5 Pokeballs
1/1 Revive

PKMN Team

Nier - Growlithe ♂
Ability: Justified
Moves: Bite, Roar, Ember, Morning Sun
Battle Experience: 0
Extra Info: Nature is Naughty.

[Sho Minazuki]

@Sen Looks fine to me. Go ahead and add it.

[Sen]

thanks man.

I guess it's time to catch up on IC posts. We just signing up for shit rn?

[Sho Minazuki]

Yeah it's just making sure you're signed up to take the League challenge or participate in Contests.

Shortly after the RP starts, signing up can be done just about anywhere as long as it's a City, but everyone's at the lab because convenience.

[Sho Minazuki]

I've put in quite a bit of details pertaining to Pokemon Contests.

There will be different entry requirements for each rank, usually just meaning it requires more and more Pokemon to enter each succeeding rank.

All contests except Master will feature two stages, Appeal Stage and Battle Stage, which is similar to how they are in the anime. A prelims to appeal to the audience, and then a finale where coordinators try and outshine one another to a table of judges in front of a crowd.

However, the Master Rank will feature the Performance Stage.

With up to 6 Pokemon, perform at the Brittania Stadium in front of a massive crowd. You can perform anything, from a magic show, to a concert, it's really up to you.

[Shadeflare123]

Just realized that three of the Pokemon I planned on giving to Roxy are other people's starters RIP

[Amaterasu]

Lmao RIP what were they? Pretty sure if contest people are going for cute theme, we'd likely overlap one another's Pokemon choices. Kind of like how I also wanted Skitty and Vulpix but whatev, there are other cute Pokemons to pick too~

[Shadeflare123]

I was planning on Growlithe/Arcanine, Eevee/Umbreon or Absol, and Rockruff/Lycanroc

[Sen]

I was planning on Growlithe/Arcanine

@Shadeflare123

I mean there's no rule against dupes (coughcoughtwoSylveons), but you'll have to pry one out of my cold, dead hands if you want one. I am the God of Growlithes, a veritable Entei of fire-dogs.

[alexfangtalon]

Alright, then I official will catch every Growlithe I see now.

[Shadeflare123]

Given that Arcanine is literally my favorite pokemon...good luck stOPPING ME

[alexfangtalon]

@Shadeflare123 I'll catch it just to be the dog thief. Even if we are on opposite sides of the region I will teleport when you find one just to get it so you can't.

[Lichthart]

Ohhh, God. It's been all of 2 days, and it already seems like we're bound to be getting Growlithegate going down in this RP! Hahaha.

Edit: Oh, and while I'm here. Just to clarify, my oncoming trainer and co-ordinator; Euphie, will be using a Salandit. Although, I don't really mind if anyone else wants to double-up on that.

She's technically a character I wrote for a Pokemon RP @MechonRaptor worked on, well over a year gone now. And like so many of Raptor's RP projects, the IC ran to an incredible, earth-shattering zero posts. Yeah my friend, I'm still salty she got packed so ignominiously into the vault! ;) Luckily, this is a fantastic time to resurrect and reinvent her. Not that she was a thing in the first place, but now she will be!

By pure coincidence she has some common ground with Talonite's heritage, although unfortunately she's less-so rough-around-the-edges, as Talonite is, more like... outright malignant. Well, we'll see how things go!

[Shadeflare123]

@alexfangtalon

I'll just have my to-be Lucario knock you unconscious. And then rob you for fire stone money.

[Amaterasu]

[Brose]
