[OOC] Pokemon: Worlds Collide

[Typical]

@Balthazar007 Been a long time, but I hope it's not too late to take up that invitation to join? I'll probably be able to whip up a character sometime before the weekend, and I'll work on familiarizing myself with the rules and guidelines then.

@Dusksong

I would be honored if my old Co-GM would join. The spot is still unclaimed. As soon as you submit your character sheets, I will count our final spot as filled. I look forward to hearing more from you.

@balthazar007 Question 1: has everyone from the Pokemon world been transported over? Or just some? Could, say, only part of my character's family have been transported over?

Question 2: What are prospects of returning the trainers who've been transported over? Are they stuck on Earth, or are they just helping to establish Earth's trainer system as their return is engineered?

@Dusksong

Answer 1: All TRAINERS and PROFESSORS have been transported over. People that just kept Pokemon as pets or companions are not transported over. In other words, unless everyone in your character's family was also an active Pokemon trainer, they won't all be around.

Answer 2: More of the latter. They are helping to establish Earth's trainer system while their return is being engineered. At least, that is the goal. They still don't know if it is possible... and I haven't decided whether it will be possible or not. So for now, we can let that uncertainty build internal conflict within the Pokemon world characters.

@Balthazar007Okay, sounds good. Have some more questions though:

1: are all trainers accounted for then? Can, say, a trainer be adventuring somewhere on earth and be "missing" or not accounted for, or not known whether or not he's there?

2: Can my trainer character own more than 6 Pokemon? Like is there a box system, or should the limit be 6 (say, because, the Pokemon not on their persons weren't transported over? But then can't someone simply withdraw the Pokemon on the other side? Or should all box Pokemon be transported over?)

3: What are the limits on the Pokemon Teams? It's just that the character I'm trying to make tends to treat Pokemon like tools and yada yada, so she usually has a few reserve Pokemon that she can swap out if she needs to (not to many, just for type coverage and whatnot). Would that be okay? But otherwise, are there standards for the Pokemon teams, or can they all be evolved and whatnot?

@Dusksong

Answer 1: ALMOST all trainers are accounted for, because they stick out like a sore thumb. They speak a foreign language and they can't recall their Pokemon into Pokeballs from their world (All Pokemon world items are rendered useless here on earth.). But theoreticly, if they landed in an isolated area and were carefull, they could avoid detection.

Answer 2: Trainers were only transported with the Pokemon they were carrying at the time. So yes, six max. No PC Pokemon. Also their Pokemon will be pushed down (or raised up if they were below) to level 30 and devolved/evolved accordingly.

Answer 3: I think my second answer covers this, but let me know if not.

@Balthazar007

@Zarkun,

I just noticed something. Your Garchomp should have been devolved into Gabite.

[Typical]

@Balthazar007 Okay, so Blazekin, for example, evolves at level 36 and would therefore be pushed down to a level 30 Combusken?

Correct!

@Balthazar007

You're the one who said Garchomp. I rolled with it XD

@Zarkun

Of course you rolled with it! XP
I would have too.

But now that I've noticed, let's pretend we noticed this from the beginning. I don't think we referred to him as anything other than "Crunch", so it shouldn't take much if any editing of past posts.

I will do so.

[LuckyBlackCat]

Finally posted! Things really aren't starting out well for Lani...

I'll have a post for Ryan soon.

@LuckyBlackCat

I like your post, but I do have one thing to point out...

Her Pokeballs don't work here on Earth (No technology from the Pokemon world will work). She can't recall her Pokemon. She can try... but to no avail.

This is my fault for not having this obviously posted in the first OOC post, but it has already been established in other posts.

[LuckyBlackCat]

@Balthazar007 Ah, ok, I just made a few edits.

[Balthazar007]

Quick Note for @Dusksong: Your Dusclops should actually be a Duskull since he evolves at level 37

Okay Everyone,

I have enough to respond to now. So I'm going to post again tonight before bed. It would be nice if @LuckyBlackCat could have her first Earth character post ready before then, but it's not a prerequisite.

I'm glad we have a full team now! Super Excited!

[Balthazar007]

I started on my next post last night, but I'll have to finish it tonight. I'm stitching everyone's stories together in a way that will bring us all up to speed and on the same level.

To make it work better, nobody post until I've posted my next post, please.

Thanks!

[Cerces22]

I'ma do it, I'ma post, just to fuck you up muahahahahaha

[Balthazar007]

@LuckyBlackCat@Cerces22@Zarkun@Dusksong

Alright, my latest post is now up. I've pushed forward our timeline to get everyone together in the same place, but feel free to go back and give us information leading up to this point (i.e. How did Ryan and Camden react to their surprise interview Pokemon, and what have all our Pokemon world trainers been up to before arriving at the Russion Pokemon HQ?)

Speaking of the Pokemon HQ. Check out the MAP. You'll find this location labeled as "Pokemon HQ-3 (Tundra)"
