[OOC] Pokemon: Storm

[jujube]

Take your time! Also if you have any feedback or specific critique for my posts I am open to that as well. C: let me know if they are ever too short or something! I try to react to everything that's going on but sometimes when there's not a whole lot it's hard to make a post longer.

@prettydrops

Your posts are actually about where I like them. I'm not a fan of longer, extraneously detailed posts.

[jujube]

cool, never been a fan of writing a ton just to make stuff longer either. altho @Matador & @TheForgottenArc let me know if you have any critiques or if I need to add anything to my posts as well! I haven't done a group rp in forever so just sayin' feedback's all good with me

[Matador]

Actually, I'm sorry, but my schedule looks like it's too packed to take up this RP without lagging you guys down tremendously. Feel free to find a replacement, but if you guys are still looking after 2 weeks, I'd be more than happy to rejoin.

Edit: Oh, and Petty, your post is completely fine. Establishes Indigo's personality well through actions and dialogues, not overly verbose——pretty good overall. Keep things up like this and you have nothing to worry about.

@prettydrops

OFC its the same for me. I like getting feedback on my weakness's helps me improve

@Matador

I'd rather not look for a replacement. Instead, plan on joining in when your schedule clears up. More of the towns/cities on the map will have names and descriptions by then as well. Which means you'll have more places and Pokemon to choose from when creating your character who is a local of the region.

On that note, I've ALMOST finished placing Pokemon on the map. I always forget how long this takes. Also, I had a soccer game last night.

[Balthazar007]

@prettydrops@TheForgottenArc@Matador,

Sorry it took so long, but I have finished placing every Pokemon on the map. Obviously I'm not going to reveal where they're all at right now, but rest assured. They are ALL accounted for.

Also @prettydrops@TheForgottenArc,

I don't normally make IC posts that long, but I felt like there was a lot of content to be covered in that post.

[jujube]

No problem! I'm fine with waiting! I'm home from work and working on a post right now!

[Balthazar007]

@prettydrops@TheForgottenArc

I've updated the Map Key by adding info on a new town and a new route (which is actually closed right now). I also added information on SOME of the Pokemon that can be found on adjacent routes and the first Point of Interest.

This is all information that your characters could find by asking any local in town, OR it would be obvious when they stumbled upon one of these Pokemon in the wild.

@Balthazar007@TheForgottenArc so i thought it would be fun if dan helped indigo weaken the torchic by battling it, because she actually wants a battle! esp when balth mentioned they were feisty. however i can change it if it would be more convenient for indigo to just catch it in his post. i just thought this would be fun?? let me know if its a terrible idea though haha

@prettydrops

Interesting idea, I'll leave that up to the two of you. If you choose to battle, then it would begin in the IC section as a back and forth post. Then you COULD use Pokemon Showdown to battle the two Pokemon (at level 5). Just make sure to use the "Anything Goes" format, and don't give your Pokemon any hidden abilities or items.

OR you can skip using showdown and just hash out the battle result via OOC posting. Either way, you would then return to the IC section and wrap up the battle.

Again, this is all only IF you two decide to battle. It's up to you.

[jujube]

@TheForgottenArcI was specifically thinking this could just be a quick back and forth of maybe 2-4 posts where dan might try and help indigo weaken the torchic.

after dan commanded a move, indy would realize he himself needs to battle torchic, and indy could possibly command turtwig for 1-2 moves. I wouldn't really control Turtwig. I'd say something like, "after indigo commanded turtwig to attack, the hit connected with torchic." so it's more of an implication.

it would be pretty short and sweet-- then indigo would catch her. i just thought this would be a good learning opportunity for indigo and torchic both. let me know what you think!

if that's too troublesome, then i'd like to maybe request the professor give indigo a loaner pokemon to battle torchic with. again, if any of this is too much posting or hassle, i am more than happy to edit my post!

@prettydrops

Sure, Sounds interesting. I need to put Turtwig in a team on showdown speaking of.

[jujube]

cool! thanks @TheForgottenArc!

[Balthazar007]

cool! thanks @TheForgottenArc!

@prettydrops

My post is up, from here, I would like to let the two of you take it away. Tag me when the battle is over.

Also, this reminds me, do you two want me to keep track of your leveling up progress? Or can I just tell you whenever your Pokemon level up and count on you to keep track of your own progress.

Same question for inventory. Would you like me to keep track of your inventory? Or can you do that yourselves?

If you did it yourselves, you would do so back in your Character Sheet. If I did it, I would add a 0th post to the IC section.

[jujube]

@Balthazar007 i think i can manage!

[Balthazar007]

@prettydrops

I guess, since it's just Indigo and Tepig vs Torchic, you could wrap this battle up in one post. Is that what you were already planning to do?

[jujube]

@Balthazar007yep! will finish that up! thanks for indulging me haha

[jujube]

@Balthazar007 just wanted to say I used torchic's moves from 5 and below. according to bulbapedia she learns ember at 5. if you want her to learn it at level 6 or something, I can edit my post!

@prettydrops

No, Ember is totally fine.

I liked your post a lot. That being said, let's get back to shorter posts again. But this does go to show, we can have a longer post every now and then.

I'll wait for @TheForgottenArc's next post before I post again.
