[OOC] Pokemon: Worlds Collide

[Cerces22]

@Zarkun

More like casually reminding, I don't want to sound like I stepping on Balthys toes trying to take over his GMing, in fact he's one of the best I ever RPed with. You can tell he really enjoys playing narrator lol

And I know that feeling, I got a bit of a devil may care Outlook and I am just so good at insulting that my mouth moves before my brain can even comprehend it talked lol

[Balthazar007]

So as a natural Idahoan, I feel I should inform you that roughly the southern half is desert. Up north is mountains and lakes. Don't know if that'll affect things much map wise, but I feel it's important to inform you. The area I live in is high desert. Just google Fruitland, Idaho.

@Zarkun

I understand that. The list I showed you was for a location slightly north and included all areas within 10 Degrees latitude and longitude. When we start actually playing the game, I won't be including EVERY Pokemon within the range. I will only pick Pokemon that would make sense given the envirnment.

For example, this would be a more accurate description of what you could find (give or take about 50 mile radius)...

• Oddish [Common: In fields and anywhere with light vegitation.]
• Natu [Common: In elevated areas and in trees]
• Maril [Common: Floating up and down nearby rivers]
• Solrock [Common: During the daytime and away from people]
• Maractus [Common: In areas of very little vegitation]
• Cutiefly [Common: In crop feilds and around trees]
• Togedemaru [Common: In urban and suburban areas]

Just a thought, but Buizel is a possibility for some water types. If memory serves, he likes rivers too XD Lord knows we got plenty of them.

Both characters are in there, Balth. Let me know what needs fixed.

@Zarkun

Man seems we kinda have a thing out for father figures just like the anime and video games huh??

@Balthazar007

If you need help understanding what Liz was saying lmk, I tried to keep the broken English readable lol

[Balthazar007]

...Here's my Pokemon character. Thoughts?

@Zarkun

Jason is a very well written character, and I love the descriptions on his party Pokemon. However, I would like for you to remove their abilities, their levels, and their moves.

I will be keeping track of level growth. They will grow one level anytime you use them in battle (win or loose). There will be other ways to gain levels, but that's the main way.

As for moves, you can switch them up freely from battle to battle, so there is no need to lock them down in your character sheet. Also your Pokemon can use any/only moves they could learn through leveling up (Using the Gen 7 list). Cross reference their Bulbapedia page before entering a battle to make sure you only use moves they could actualy know given their level. For instance, Absol can't use Razor Wind (He's forgotten the move due to being leveled down.), Hone Claws (He can't learn Hone Claws at all given Gen 7 requirement), and Shadow Claw (a move he can only learn through TM). We will bring TMs into this RP, but not right away (Though, I already know how to do this).

As for abilities, surprisingly, you already did right by not giving any of your Pokemon hidden abilities. But again, you don't need to tie them down to one ability, especially for Pokemon like Absol who have two abilities to choose from. You can change their ability before any battle, so long as it's not a hidden ability. We will be unlocking hidden abilities, but not right away (just like TMs).

I know I'm being picky, but it makes things easier for me and makes perfect sense in my head. I hope you don't take any offense or feel upset. Hopefully you just see this as a challange to level up your Pokemon and learn more moves.

But yeah, I love your character and can't wait to see your human character too!

:)

@Zarkun
Forest (AKA: Jedi) is another very well written character. Please make the adjustments mentioned in my previous post, and then you can post these characters into the Characters section.

@Cerces22

It was easy enough to understand. And your post as a whole was great. I'm just sleepy now, so I'll respond tomorrow.

[Cerces22]

@Balthazar007

Ugh could this test be any harder??

[Balthazar007]

@Zarkun
Awesome! I've added your character to the 0th IC post. You may now post IC whenever you like. You can start at any point in the timeline. Meaning, you could start us as far back as the day all the stuff went down on New Years, or you can start off already taking the exams (or anywhere in between). Your character would be going to an exam site in San Fransisco that is much the same as the one in Washington D.C.

And Jason can start anywhere in the world.

[Balthazar007]

@LuckyBlackCat
Are you still on board?

[LuckyBlackCat]

@Balthazar007 Yep! Should be able to get a character sheet ready tomorrow or over the weekend.

@Balthazar007

My only question is would I be allowed to have him have his team and would he be out in the world yet?

[Cerces22]

@Zarkun

Sort like Liz, I think he wants to wait for us to give character development before we just about ignore it catching pokemon lol, and I think he wants you to write for the testing part like I an doing for Circe

[Zarkun]

@Cerces22

I think Zarkun is reffering ONLY to his Pokemon universe character. He knows that his Earth world character has to go through the test first.

To answer your question directly, yes. Jason can venture the world with his Pokemon already, but his Pokeballs won't work anymore. So his Pokemon will have to be walking with him. I didn't make Cerces give up Liz's Pokemon; that was all her own doing.

But if he is found wandering the streets of some city, he's likely to be noticed, and they would surely try to recruit him. Also remember, he has no Earth money to start off with and speaks another language.

Finally, you didn't mention catching Pokemon, but he obviously can't do that without Pokeballs anyways.

So in short, if he wants to try and travel the world on his own, it won't be easy. But it's up to you.

@Balthazar007@Zarkun

Did not mean to overstep, I do apologize, I was only trying to give an example 😄😄

@Cerces22

Don't worry about it. It's not an issue.

BTW, there are a LOT of Pokemon. lol
I've been placing them all day long, and so far I've only placed 43% of them.

@Balthazar007

Well, I primarily meant could he start in, like Tokyo and such is all.
