@Lord Santa IDK. Do you have any preference? You too, will have to be let in by me.

[AbysmalDemon]

@StarInaBox you have full permission to power play my char for this post. Have him let you in, and then lock it.

Santa, just follow what star does XD

@GeliophobHyena

Yeah, I get real life sometimes.

Essentially, most of the IC has just been interactions between characters, but we've pretty much just gotten our stuff. Then a budew invasion happened, the professor sorted it out and booted everyone onto the street so some are interacting some more.

[GeliophobHyena]

GOt it
Post will be up.

[AbysmalDemon]

Post will be up soon. Hopefully star gets back on so we can finish.

[AbysmalDemon]

So far, it's very sad

[Sho Minazuki]

I'm back from sleeping, and I've posted.

I also hope a random encounter system has been finished though.

[AbysmalDemon]

@Sho Minazuki Yes, look on the first post. For now it's only a handful of routes, but I'm working on more right now :D

@AbysmalDemon

Need some help m8? :P

[Sho Minazuki]

I can help out too, just give us some assignments.

I think what we want to achieve is that all Pokemon are attainable in the encounters list though.

[AbysmalDemon]

It's fine. I just finished RT. 6 editing it in now.

[Sho Minazuki]

Should have a review crew or something, it looks fine now, but you have like 20 something routes to do not including the various special locations like caves, and even cities too actually, because you can meet Pokemon there thinking logically.

Maybe have someone make a checklist and tick off all Pokemon that are attainable so far.

There's also I'd like to ask to get a shiny Treecko somewhere early on my travels... Or Snivy... It's so difficult. I want to fill out the Mega slot on my team, on the other hand I really like Serperior.

[AbysmalDemon]

For sure. Starter will be rarer tho. Maybe somewhere around a 3-5% chance of finding it.

[Sho Minazuki]

I would suggest putting the chances much higher by the way...

This is an RP, not the actual game where you can run around in the grass over and over again until you get it, so these generally low rates aren't justified. At most we get like, 3-4 tries per route if we're just passing through? And even those tries take awhile.

There are other methods possible too, like asking a Pokemon you encounter if they've seen a so-and-so, or if they've seen anything... Using your Pokemon to ask them of course. Then there's trying to up the chance of encountering a particular one by suggesting it's near.

@Sho Minazuki

Honestly accurate, especially the part about lurking in tall grass for hours; does % chance even matter in an RP?

@MissFortune

I think in this case, it's more of a guide kind of thing.

Because it's not like you want someone to have all the rare pokemon just like that, and its's in the spirit of the games that random encounters exist for finding pokemon. I'd assume it's for balance, and also for flavour, so that making your team is similar to what an actual trainer would do.

But that's really just my conjecture, and I do agree that it would be pretty tedious.

[Sho Minazuki]

In that case it should just be a list of encounterable Pokemon there, and labelling the really rare ones as well, rare, meaning if you want to pursue those ones, you'll have to work pretty hard.

The rest, you would be free to encounter, or have the GM randomly roll you one of them.

[MissFortune]

@Lord Santa

*REMINDER: Only 2 shiny pokemon per team until further notice, choose wisely! XD

That settles people only running into rare Pokemon lol

Anywho, I think the RP is closer towards the anime in the sense of finding and capturing Pokemon (because who wants to write several paragraphs about walking though tall grass and not finding anything).

In the anime, if you wanted to find a specific Pokemon, just wander around the wilderness and keep your eyes peeled; bring some binoculars and befriend it!

I think that would entail better story lines of really becoming friends with Pokemon on your journey instead of beating it up and throwing a Pokeball at it while watching the ball shake 3 times.

Does that make sense? Its late ugh. XD
