[OOC] Pokemon - Willow League

[Jester Acharis]

I know Sigur's SU said he preferred badass Pokémon, and he does and will refuse to catch anything else, but I figured it'd be fun to give him such a contradicting Pokémon because hey, why not. Torturing your characters is fun.

[Draexzhan]

Okay, I definitely got a good couple of laughs out of that post. Sigur is definitely going to be a fun character to watch. I don't know if you've ever heard of the webcomic Mokepon, but Sigur reminds me of Atticus Brent, the main character in said comic.

Sigur said The next trainer chose a Starly - because hey, who wouldn't want to carry around a small bird to shit all over your clothes all the time?

:P
Silly Sigur. He doesn't realize just how many heads Casey Kacem I ripped off, let alone Casey II. He shall soon learn just how much these things pwn.

@Draexzhan: Never read the webcomic, need to take a look at it now. I've been in need of good new web comics to read after reading all of my current ones and having to always wait for updates. And yeh, writing him will be fun, especially when they get into actual battling, since he'll know squat about what he's doing.

@Sparx: Heh, as someone who's had a Staraptor as a staple of any given competitive team since the generation it came out, I know firsthand how much that thing can kick ass BP It's also the star of my mono-flying team. Sigur doesn't know that though, poor boi. He will learn the error of his ways

I dunno, Igglybuff fits him. That looks pretty badass to me.

Besides, if/when it evolves, Jigglypuff will be the most badass Pokemon Sigur will ever own. :P



Only thing more badass is Wigglytuff



Not even Garchomp wants to face her pink wrath. xD

This was a perfect excuse to use those pictures. :P

[Draexzhan]

I completed my Pokedex! I'm a big boy now! :D

Anywho, new post coming later today. Mostly going to be Willow's reactions and whatnot.

Thanks. :) Although, I do have to give some credit to Jester.

I suggest a makeover of both appearance and attitude, mon ami.

One of his characters said that line to another character in another RP in different context. I thought it'd be funny to throw it back at him. xD

[Draexzhan]

Ohai Soul! Yeah, we're still accepting for a little bit longer (says the guy who said the same thing like five pages ago), You will have a bit of catching up to do, though, so bear that in mind.

The trainers got off a boat called the S.S. Bolt, and then gathered in front of a timid scientist, who gave them a rather lame tour of the corinthian style architectured city. He also pointed out a plaza with a fountain where they could get supplies. They then arrived at a rather featureless lab where the professor greeted them, went to grab the pokeballs, came back, and had everyone line up. Now they're getting their pokemon

That's the short version.

[Soulserenity20]

Oh, thanks, Crimson.

As for leveling, the pokemon won't have levels, exactly. When the journey starts, I'll be PMing everyone what moves their pokemon have, and will also PM them when their Pokemon is ready to evolve. Moves I'll explain in a bit, because my dog is begging for a walk right now. BRB

[Draexzhan]

Bah, rain rain rain.

Anyways, Pokemon will be capable of learning more moves as time goes on, but the moves will require practice to hone. TMs exist, but they're scarce and hard to come by. They basically take about a half an hour to teach a pokemon, whereas just training them will take a fair bit longer. Your pokemon will likely show signs of being able to learn the move when they're able to, so that's how your character will know. For instance, if a pokemon is ready to learn ember, they'll start breathing tiny amounts of fire. Something like iron tail, they might whack something with their tail. From there, the trainer will have their pokemon practice until the move can be used in battle. I will send PMs or post in the ooc when a pokemon is ready to learn a move, I leave it up to you to do the training and whatnot.

[13sparx13]

Cool. Will they retain their official movesets, by the way, or will they be able to learn some other moves that make sense for them to learn.

Also, rain is awesome. Don't know what's wrong with you.
