[OOC] Pokemon: Earth

[Balthazar007]

Apologies for the delay. I'll have something posted in the next couple hours.

Just in case you don't notice, I have changed the map's default setting to only show the different regions and your current location. You should still be able to go to the Map Key and click on information that you would like to see.

For instance, I added a new gym, relatively close to Faye, since that might interest her, but to see it, you have to click on Local Gyms.

@Alisdragon911

Small issue with your latest post. You mention her seeing a Pikachu. But if you refer back to the post where I mentioned all the Pokemon in and around Savannah, you'll see that Pikachu wasn't one of them.

For reference: https://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/4917327

Oh, unless you thought Pikachu was the ??? Pokemon. But it's not. ??? is a sign of a Legendary or Mythical Pokemon.

Also, the gym in your area didn't necessarily open TODAY. It's just that I put gyms on the map whenever it is appropriate, but it can be assumed they were already there. But for now, we can pretend this one opened today.

Also, I guess I need to make a contest Hall in your area now. Lol.

If you have a new idea to add to the RP, please clear it with me in the OOC section first or through private message. We don't want to be going back and editing our posts all the time.

On that note, just remove the Pikachu mention, and your last post will be fine.

[Little Bird]

Wasn't sure where you wanted character sheets submitted to. Posted one up on the Characters tab though. It's been a while since I've RP'd. This seems like a good one to hop back in on.

The Pikachu sound came from her phone alerting her of new notifications on her phone. I can change it to something else.

Oh. Lol. I didn't get that. I see now.

@Wayward

Your character's personality and bio are on the long side, which isn't a deal breaker or anything, but try not to go overboard on your IC posts. This RP us in the Free section for a reason. Other than that though, it's all good.

I'll get those lists of Pokemon ready for you tomorrow morning.

Glad to have ya!

@Alisdragon911

By the way, I'm not quite sure how to reply to your latest post. It's not clear what your next step is going to be. Though, if you want my suggestion, I think a trip to the Pokemon Center is in order. I added the local Pokemon Center to your map.

You can go ahead an post IC again, whenever you like. I don't see a need to make an IC response at the moment.

[Alisdragon911]

You can move my character to the Pokémon center, I wait intill someone else post before I do.

Nice. It's good to be getting back into the swing of RPing. Also, I'm figuring for my character's starting placement, just have him already in NYC. I'm just gonna start off with him on the train as it's getting towards Grand Central; well, specifically at Harlem-125th Street, and leaving for Grand Central from there. But for simplicity's sake, we can just place him at Grand Central because he'll be there within my intro post.

You got it, but I'm going to have to do your Pokemon lists tomorrow morning actually. I've been on the road all morning and have to go into work soon.

That's fine. If I'm good to make my opening post, I can get that in without any of the other Pokemon in my team being accounted for.

[Balthazar007]

@Wayward

So, for the Pokemon that could be in your team, I'm going to do a wide search with the middle of Connecticut being my center point. Basically, these Pokemon can be found in Connecticut and surrounding states, sometimes a little further. Pokemon in bold and italics are the closest ones, the ones that he would have came across early in his Pokemon adventure.

After you choose your Pokemon, I'll let you know where you would have gone to find them, just so that you know where they came from more exactly. Also, you may notice that Eevee is not on this list. Eevee is not naturally found in this area. As such, Eevee could be a gift from his parents, not a starter from the lab. Any Pokemon that is in bold and italics can be the starter Pokemon from the lab. Or maybe, when they asked him to pick a starter Pokemon, he said no thanks, because he already had his Eevee.

Psyduck: Can be found by the water, but generally at night when people aren't out in numbers.
Gastly: At night, particularly in and around cemeteries.
Misdreavus: At night, in parks and back alleys.
Wobbuffet: Randomly, anywhere, but hiding from people.
Snubbull: In parks, during the day.
Zigzagoon: In parks and suburbs.
Shuppet: At night, in back alleys and near cemeteries.
Basculin: Along the shore, in rivers, in large bodies of water.
Klink: Practically anywhere, but quick to run away.
Litwick: At night, in and around old buildings.
Clauncher: Off the coast and in the rivers.
Klefki: In any parking lot but quick to run away.
Togedemaru: Practically everywhere but quick to run away.

Once I know what Bryan is looking for, I'll add things to the map in his area.

@Wayward@Alisdragon911@jeroukoo

As you see everyone, from now on, I'm going to combine all my IC replies into one IC post. This will cut back on clutter. Also, as we get more people, my responses will have to be more direct and to the point.

While technically it is March 3rd in Malcolm's timeline, it is still March 2nd in everyone else's. This isn't an issue since your character's aren't interacting at the moment. I can manage multiple timelines and story arcs without an issue.

[Little Bird]

I have updated Bryan's Pokemon team.

[ouTland01]

@Wayward Pokemon cannot have two abilities. A hidden ability replaces the regular ability.

Will amend ASAP

EDIT: Fixed. Made a quick change on the Scraggy's Ability.

@Wayward@Alisdragon911@jeroukoo

Everyone, I'll have a reply post up by tomorrow. Today I worked a double, so no time until now, and now I'm exhausted.

[Balthazar007]

@Wayward@Alisdragon911@jeroukoo

I've decided to make an adjustment. Pokemon Centers and Poke Marts will not appear on the map. Instead, it should now be understood that all PUBLIC hospitals also double as Poke Centers. The main difference is, unlike their real-life counterparts, they offer rooms and food to Pokemon trainers. Imagine that all these hospitals, have two or more extra floors to accommodate these additions.

Poke Marts, which we haven't even mentioned yet, are no longer "a thing" per se. Instead, pet stores (like PetSmart) are now Pokemon stores, and supermarkets (like Target and Walmart) that have a pet section now have a Pokemon section. On that note, anytime you see the word Pet, you can substitute Poke. So instead of PetSmart, their new name would be PokeSmart, (which sounds a lot like Poke Mart anyway doesn't it...)

I will continue to add Pokemon Labs to the map though. Making all laboratories an official Pokemon Lab would be too much.

@Wayward@Alisdragon911@jeroukoo

Hey, sorry for the mild delay on replying to your most recent posts. I'm currently working on things behind the scenes, like approving of two new people to join us very soon: @Entlein & @ouTland01

I'll have a post up tomorrow. :)
