[OOC] Legends Among Us (Pokemon RP) (closed)

[Sickle-cell]

Love you too, Leos! ;)

[Salrynn]

posting tomorrow hopefully :)

[Rethel34]

Well, this summer has been nothing more than a shortage of wifi and i disappear and despite trying to at least keep ONE of the two alive, they still BOTH end up dead when I return. That's unfortunate. Whenever I have reliable-enough wifi, I'll post again.

Also, friggin Dialga and Palkia. Can't say I didn't see it coming.

[Sickle-cell]

I think Germaine is still alive, actually. You did save one of us. Good job, Kaze, Tantalus would be proud =P

[Leos Klien]

Yeah Germaine is still kicking- you'll see more from my next post about him.

[Zanavy]

Good work, guys. Just make sure you get new character sheets approved before you post again, 'kay?

Be prepared to wrap up this in-game day in the next few days.

[Ardent Dawn]

@Zanavy Absolutely fine with us :)

[Rethel34]

@Zanavy Good by me. I might try to get a post up before you push things. I have something in mind, but if I can't get around to it before you push the plot, nothing will truly be lost. Mostly my plan was just character development stuff.

@Zanavy

May i have Alain participate in the tournament? Not sure how i can write him into it, but ill think of something.

[Leos Klien]

@ZanavyI'd like to do a collab with you sometime soon with Germaine heading to the hospital - but no plot breaking stuff planned on my end

[Zanavy]

@VulkanYup.

@Leos KlienOk. If you want to start, pm me. If you want me to start, let me know.

I'm setting Saturday afternoon as the absolute time-skip deadline. Please let me know if you're participating in the tournament by then, or I might not be able to put you in.

[Eklispe]

Participating! _{Already listed it and whatnot but just to be safe. :<}

[Rethel34]

Initially, I would have said no, but . . . I'm going to have Kaze's hat thrown in the ring. I have reasons.

[Zanavy]

Wow, it's Tuesday already. I was on vacation and lost track of days of the week.

Week 23!

Salrynn, Thundercrash, Leos Klien, Sickle-cell, and Ardent Dawn posted this week!

But I haven't figured out a prize yet. ^_^' I'll get back to you this afternoon.

[Zanavy]

And the winner is...

Ardent Dawn!

The prize is my new quote at the bottom of my signature, because it's been the same for quite a while. Pick any quote you or your character(s) have said during the course of the RP, no matter how nonsensical and/or embarrassing. That will be my new quote for a while.

By the way, what ever happened to that red egg that was supposed to belong to the late Xerneas? XD

[Sickle-cell]

I do not know, but i'll come up with some story about it if no-one wants to steal the small red egg of varying origin, purpose and delicacy.

Btw, i'll have Dialga join the tourament if that's alright. Should have my CS submitted over the next few days, but will send it to you first for approval.

So for anyone who missed the updates, Pokemon Sun and Moon had updates revealed on Saturday and again earlier today (or yesterday, depending on where you live). Saturday's update revealed that Zygarde's 10% and Complete forms may be obtainable in Pokemon Sun and Moon, along with its Thousand Arrows and Thousand Waves attacks that had been programmed into ORAS, but ended up going unused. Also, two new Pokemon were revealed (translations are relatively rough at present): The Puppy Pokemon, Iwanko; and the Half-Awake Pokemon, Nekkoala.

The update for Tuesday revealed a new way to play multiplayer battles: Battle Royale. This battle between four players is in a Free-For-All format, with the battle ending when one player loses all of his/her Pokemon. The winner is then calculated by determining how many Pokemon the surviving three players defeated, as well as how many Pokemon each player had remaining.

Further, Ledyba will apparently be available on Route 1 in Alola. Not too big, but a piece of news regardless.

However, three new Pokemon were revealed in the updates brought with Tuesday. Firstly, Pikipek, the Woodpecker Pokemon; we finally get to see the completed form of the wireframes revealed in the first trailer from so long ago. Pikipek is a Normal/Flying-Type Pokemon available on Route 1, and will have two other members to its family. Secondly, we have Yungoos, the Loitering Pokemon. With its insatiable appetite, this Normal-Type will also be available from Route 1 in Alola. Lastly is Grubbin, the Larva Pokemon, a Bug-Type, though not as much is revealed on it as there is on the others that have been revealed so far.

For other Pokemon related news and more in-depth descriptions of new Pokemon, I'll leave a couple of links for you:
Serebii.net News Page
Gen VII New Pokemon
Gen VII New Pokemon Forms (As of this post, simply new forms for what we thought was to be for the latter part of Gen VI, but has been confirmed to be Gen VII instead.)

On an unrelated but otherwise Nintendo note: Just saw the most recent footage/trailer for The Legend of Zelda Wii U, now confirmed to have the title "Breath of the Wild". I have boarded the hype train for this as well.

@Rethel34

That seems overly complicated. Why not just battle until there's only person of the four left standing?

[Rethel34]

@Thundercrash I didn't decide on it. And they give no reasoning. Makes no sense to me either, but hey, it's something new that, although a little complicated, isn't entirely bad, so I'm not complaining.

[@Everyone] Posted IC. Everyone, meet Clabber, Kaze's sassy and kind of stuck-up new Corphish. Will add him to my CS later.

[Zanavy]

Just so everyone is aware, I allowed Kaze to catch a Pokemon early because his characters started much lower than the starting team limit. Normally, everyone will be given equal periods of time in which they may capture a new Pokemon.

It's funny that the Alola region has a mean mongoose. In Hawaii, mongoose are considered such an invasive pest that people run over them on purpose.
