Hey everyone,

Sorry that "Plot Moving Post" took so long. Also, I apologize for it's incredibly long structure, but I really wanted to address some possible issues AND introduce a new feature to this RP (the new Pokemon League). I doubt I'll ever make a post that lengthy again. LOL

If you have any questions, let me know.

Would it be possible, as we've now moved forward several days, for a dice roll to decide the outcome of my attempt with Pinsir. He was going to offer to help the Pinsir beat the other one if he joined his team.

I rolled the dice twice on Pinsir (at her softened 7 resistance). On your first Pokeball it failed (result), but she didn't run. On your second Pokeball it was a catch (result). I'll go ahead and add her to your team. You can include the capture in your next post. And remember, you catch her on the second try.

@Balthazar007 Well, definitely messed up with the levels there with Dana's Mr. Mime (thought her Duskull was level 30, so anything over 15 would be fine). But moving on haha

Would Dana be able to exchange her caught Pokemon for Pokeballs, or just request extra Pokeballs when she runs out? I don't think she'll ever actually use the Pokemon I just had her catch.

Also, would NPC battles be available for the battle league? Working like wild battles with dice rolls and whatnot, I mean. And how many days will the league likely go on for?

I'm not going to go back and change any past results, but going forward... I've thought of a better way to level up Pokemon when they battle. It involves math on my part, but it's more simple than it looks.

Also, from here on out, the level limit on wild Pokemon encounters is level 50, unless you find a Pokemon nest. Pokemon found in nests can be all the way up to level 80. Still though, it's not smart to encounter a Pokemon that is too strong if you're trying to catch them, not until we launch better quality balls.

With the two announcements above, would you like to adjust your wild Jigglypuff's level, Dusksong? Or continue as it is?

And no, exchanging Pokemon for more Pokeballs isn't a thing. But you can always ask for more Pokeballs. They will give you what they can. You just have to be happy with what you get. lol

And yes, minor NPC battles are very much like wild Pokemon battles. This is covered in the section of the 1st OOC Post labeled "Minor NPC Battles". One thing though, if you are the challenger, you have to reveal your Pokemon first, thus making it a little harder to pre-plan your type matchups. BUT once you choose your Pokemon, the opponent will reveal theirs. THEN you start the battle off with an attack, and I will treat it just like a wild Pokemon battle from there... as far as dice rolling.

And the league is a permanent addition to this RP. When and IF this RP ever ends (due to finding a way back to the Pokemon Universe) that is when the league will end. But there will be tournaments, like the one mentioned to crown a champion, and other limited time challenges as well. Doing well in the league, is simply how you keep yourself in a good position to qualify for these competitions.

@Balthazar007 If 17 nabs the half level growth, then keep as-is. But the level-bump for wilds is definitely something I'll utilize in the future!

I've adjusted how levels are calculated. As it stands, you will gain half a level (0.5) for winning or 0.125 for loosing.

But if you want to make the Pokemon a little weaker, say lv 15 for example, your Pokemon will gain 0.441 of a level for winning and 0.11 for loosing.

So what do you think. Keep it the same or lower?

I will do my next "Reply All" Post tomorrow morning, just in case LuckyBlackCat wants (and is able) to get something up before then.

Also, whenever one of you would like to battle one of the NPCs, you can. Simply check out the "Pokemon League" character sheet. I've updated it with the location of characters. There are two trainers (one Earth trainer and one Pokemon universe trainer) that are currently in France. Be sure to check that post out often, as I will update it frequently.

@Balthazar007 so many decimals haha. I'll just keep as-is, seeing as my main focus is trying to work in the Ivysaur's evolution somehow.

// edit: also, are you deciding the NPC's teams? I want to have Camden challenge one, but it's a bit odd if I have nothing to go on, unless I just write a post about Camden's first move and leave you the dice roll before I write out the battle?

I have the Pokemon for each NPC already picked out on the back end. If you wish to be the challenger, all you need to do is call up the person you want to challenge and meet. You will then reveal your Pokemon. Do all this in one post.

In my reply, I will reveal their Pokemon and launch an attack.

You will then respond with your counter attack.

Then I will role dice and respond once more to summarize the events of the battle in vague terms.

So while wild Pokemon battles generally take 2 posts to get the results for. NPC battles take 4 posts. It's worth it though, as all of your Pokemon will gain levels from battling.

Early tomorrow morning or perhaps late tonight I will put up one more "Reply All" Post followed consecutively by a "Plot Moving" Post. This "Plot Moving" Post won't be nearly as long as the last one and won't contain nearly as much information. Basically, it will serve to introduce the next location "Pokemon HQ-4 (Egypt)" and the Pokemon found there. This doesn't mean you all HAVE to IMMEDIATELY move your posts to Egypt or anything. You can take your time and wrap things up in France first.

Update: My morning is turning out busier than expected, so I'm going to have to delay my "Plot Moving" Post till tomorrow morning.

Also @LuckyBlackCat, I replenished Ryan's Pokeball inventory, but they don't have Potions.... yet.

By the updated standards, he should have gained a little, but that battle happened before I changed the standards. At that time the rule was: "If you loose to a Pokemon with a lower level, you don't gain any levels."
