[OOC] Departure: From Kanto to Kalos

[mickilennial]

I will wait for Denny to respond, I think.

[Dio]

I'll get something out then, good sir.

@Denny

If Lochlan accepts, how should we decide the victor of the race? I think Eevee has a higher speed stat in-game, but at the same time ICly Netali has been training her Skiddo to be fast as possible.

I'm not sure if @Inkarnate wants to bring too many game mechanics into here, so maybe he could add some input.

[mickilennial]

I haven't really thought too much on any game mechanics or incorporating them into the RP, but if that's what you guys want to do let me know.

[Dio]

Realistically, I think Skiddo would and should win. But of course! Eevee ain't goin' down without a fight! :B

@Inkarnate

I think the only mechanics we really need are typing, abilities and hax (i.e. parahax, freezehax, etc. Competitive mumbo jumbo for statuses). We can probably ignore the statistics of Pokemon, since we can fluff it as "how XX had trained" or just by how they look. An Aggron is probably going to be bulky against anything other than like Fighting and Ground.

i think also it might be a good idea to have pokemon learn and retain all their moves but maybe league sanctioned rules allow trainers, coordinators, anyone in an official battle to use four moves each or something like that. with gym battles, it might be four moves, one move more or less depending on the gym leader, contests the same, trainer vs trainer battles might depend more on the trainers themselves. So essentially they're basically making movesets. I think it keeps things from getting too op and also challenges the trainers as they see which moves will be best for their particular battle! Just a suggestion tho!

@prettydrops

Eh, I'm not too sure about that. Kind of defeats the purpose of typing.

[jujube]

@Solahow does it defeat the purpose of typing?? but oh well. I'm fine with whatever!

@prettydrops

You're supposed to use a pokemon move set wisely. You can't force a switch out (or force your opponent to change their strategy) when someone can just declare that their pokemon is using a super effective move that wouldn't be normally carried due to them always having access to everything in their movepool.

[jujube]

i didn't mean that they'd start off with everything in their movepool? I also thought the moveset would stay the same for them the entire battle, not that they could change it constantly. however as I said, I'm fine with whatever :)

@prettydrops

I know you said that it would stay the same as the battle went on, however, my point is that people could decide that their pokemon have XX move(s) before the battle to easily counter someone's team without a thought. Not that anyone here would do that, of course.

Edit: Apologies for those tagged, I was a little drunk and posted in the wrong RP. Both had a D in the name!

So, for this RP, when's Denny getting that post in? Maybe I can fit my character into it earlier than I anticipated after all...

[Carlyle]

@Inkarnate Should I wait for you to get a post in, or go and ahead with replying to Denny?

[Dio]

I tried making my post as non-exclusive as possible to make it make some sense. Can change it up a bit if need be!

@Denny

I don't think there's any need too. I just wanted to see if Ink wanted to get a word in before I posted again.

[Carlyle]

I'll post later this week, if not today.

I was also wondering why the RP isn't Departure: From Kanto to Alola, but I figured Kanto to Kalos has a better ring to it.
