[OOC] Pokemon: Prime

Also, just so you know, you can set Hephaestus' gender to be Male in the section right next to where to set his Level, because if not it'll just keep randomizing each fight.
That and you can also nickname him properly on Showdown as well by clicking on where it says Chimchar

@Metamore@Cerces22
Cool! As soon as one of you two (or both of you) post a reenactment of the battle within the IC section, I will add the gained level to your Pokemon. It looks like @Cerces22 has volunteered for this.

Also, I suspect that @Metamore is a little more experience with Showdown and thus knew how to set their IVs. While @Cerces22 probably didn't adjust her stats at all. Just a hunch. I could be wrong. If I'm right though, be sure to go back and customize your IVs @Cerces22.

Either way, this was a friendly battle. The reward is the same for both of you, win or loose. Battle experience!

[Metamore]

Oh yeah! Sorry about that, I totally forgot to mention IVs! If you want, we can have a do-over, since I kinda had an unfair advantage.

@Metamore@Cerces22
Personal Note: Not only do I have the background mechanics behind this RP completely figured out, but I've got a huge amount of plot devices already mapped out for the future. This is going to be great. I'm so glad you are both a part of this RP.

Alright, goodnight. I'll be back on in the morning.

@metamore @balthazar007

Thanks I will change the Chimchar stuff in a moment, and no I did not know about the ivs, never really was an IV person in the actual games, I was a bit if a purest, playing for fun, so IDK the actual stats and what not. But it is ok, I shall take this loss, it will push Liz more lol

@Cerces22

And before I go to bed, I am defaulting on my follow up post to your latest IC post. There really isn't much need at this point, considering you're character has already done so much in the span of such a short time. (Gotten started and had first battle)

I did however already change the stat sheets for the both of you already.

Woo-hoo! Now you've got me really excited! I'm glad I'm here too~

Goodnight. See you tomorrow.

@Cerces22
Ah okay, well in Showdown they make all the difference. Especially in the Little Cup tier, which you could say we're in now since we only have baby pokémon. Let me know in PM if you have any questions about Showdown, I'm not a pro by any means, but I know my way around enough. _{At least I think I do}

[Cerces22]

@Metamore

Yes please do that would be greatly appreciated

[Metamore]

Awwwwww~♡ I just read Liz's post! She's so sweet! xD Ice Queen, who?? Lol, well I'm glad to see Rin's already got her coming out of her shell. Definitely looking forward to when they meet up again! ^-^

[Cerces22]

@Metamore

We are bonded in our being different, you will see her be cold with others soon enough lmao

[Metamore]

Look forward to it! xD

[Cerces22]

@metamore

Just a heads up, I will be somewhat busy until 6 if you post i may be able to read it, but won't be able to respond right away

[Metamore]

Oh okay, that's perfectly fine. :)

[Metamore]

Level 15??? xD Have the RNG Deities betrayed me??

@Balthazar007
Let's say Rin does decide to fight this Chikorita, how exactly would that go? I know it says you'll roll two dice, but I don't understand what you mean by the die will represent their level, or how typing would come into play.
Could you give an example?

@Metamore

sure, one second....

[Cerces22]

I like the sassy spinarak, so I should make a post?? Or do you want to handle the battle aspect?? That's what has me tied up, I can maybe throw together one paragraph of me and Chimchar dodging and what not, but with you doing the rolling, I am don't want to make a post capturing the pokemon but you haven't even rolled yet

So!

Totodile is Level 6.
Chikorita is level 15.
Chikorita has one type advantage (Grass over Water). So she will get a 50% boost (50% of her current level 15). That equals a 7.5 boost. I always round in the player's favor, so that means she gets a 7 point boost. Totaling 22 points.
I now roll a level 6 dice (your Totodile) and subtract a level 22 dice roll (Chikorita).
Here is a sample result:
roleplayerguild.com/rolls/4679

As you can see, that is a -12 result. Meaning that Chikorita rolled a number 12 points higher than your Totodile rolled (in this example). Your Totodile thus takes 12 damage (more than what she can handle) and faints.

If you would have lost by less than 6 points, health would have went down, but you could have kept battling. Even with less "health" you would still roll a die 6 in battle.

If you would have won the dice roll, the Chikorita would have lost health instead, but you probably wouldn't feint him. Best case scenario, Totododile rolls a 6, Chikorita rolls a 1, and Chikorita takes 5 damage. You can then keep battling or try to catch the Chikorita with one of your Pokeballs.

A Pokeball dice roll is similar to a wild Pokemon battle. Pokeballs have a level 7 catch rate.
This means I will roll a die seven and subtract a die 15.
If the result is positive (meaning that your roll was higher), you will catch the Pokemon. If it is negative, the Pokemon may run away. If you battled the Pokemon first and weakened it, the level seven dice will be rolled against the Pokemon's lowered health stat.

The run away function is determined by a background dice roll. i.e. a more complicated spread sheet random number generator.

I hope I didn't overload you two with all that information. Let me know if you have anymore questions though.
