Pokemon: Earth 2.0

Hello Old Friends!

@Birdboy@ouTland01@Wayward@Alisdragon911@jeroukoo

I'm considering rebooting the "Pokemon: Earth" roleplay, and adding a lot of new stuff, while at the same time, simplifying things! I'll go ahead and dive into the changes. Then, if you like what you see, let me know!

The plotline is still the same, a parallel Earth where Pokemon are real. Only, we will be skipping 81 years into the future (from 2019 to 2100). So yes, if your character from the old RP was 30, and you want to bring them back, they will now be 111 years old. But hear's the kicker! In the year 2024 advancements in medicine were able to cut the natural aging process in half, and by 2050 this technology had progressed so that people only age at 10% the rate they used to. With this in mind, your 111 year old character would actually look around 50, give or take a few years, depending on how you took care of yourself over the years. In other words, characters from the old RP could now just look like middle aged men/women, despite being around a 100 years old, and of course, they would all be expert trainers by now.

As for game mechanics, it used to be that battles were either free form (flavor text only) or done through Pokemon Showdown. Now, I'd like to throw in a third option. With some basic math and help from Bulbapedia, I can assign your Pokemon's power level, based off their total stats and their current level, then adjust this for any type advantages and disadvantages that your Pokemon may have against it's opponent. I do this for both Pokemon, to get a static number to roll, using this site's dice roll mechanic, so that everyone can see. Whoever wins the roll, wins the battle. There's a little more to it than that, but those are the basics. Also, I can use a similar system for Pokemon contests, races, and much more.

And finally, for those interested in the Gym challenge, we will only have the 18 gyms shown on the map. You can take on these gyms in any order, and their difficulty will be adjusted, equal to how many badges you have claimed up to that point.

What do you all think? Questions? Concerns?

Pokemon: Earth 2.0

I'm considering a soft reboot of a Pokemon RP that I used to run. I've had some recent ideas that I think would make it run smoother. Here's the pitch:

The story takes place here on Earth, in an alternate reality where the Pokemon world and our world are one and the same. I've already mapped out (in a private document) where all Pokemon from Gen 1 to Gen 7 are located, and I can add Gen 8 Pokemon along the way.

The technological landscape would be about what we could hope for out of an Earth 2100 landscape combined with all the questionable technology of the Pokemon world. So flying cars and cities floating on water will be a thing, Pokemon PCs are of course a thing, and healthcare is surprisingly efficient/free. On the other hand, we're still partially relying on non-renewable energy sources, and space travel isn't really practical yet (at least without the magical assistance of certain Pokémon).

Players could control up to two characters: a newbie trainer and/or an expert trainer. This would depend on your preference.

As newbies, you'll be focused on the slow grind of building your first Pokemon team and traveling around the world for the first time. You'll be able to take on low level missions or just free roam and see what kind of trouble you can get into.

As experts, you can skip to having a decent collection of Pokemon (about 50 or so). You'll have to spend a while building your character sheet with me, but when you're done, you can go on basically any adventure imaginable.

Activities in this RP would include but not limited to: Gym Battles, Tournament Battles, Pokemon Contests, Marathons, Breeding Pokemon, Photographing Pokemon, Investigating Corrupt Organizations, and taking on Various Missions of all kinds.

I suggest starting with a Newbie Trainer, so we can get started sooner. You can create an Expert Trainer, while your playing as your Newbie Trainer.

So, do I have any takers?

I have not read alot about the RP yet, however I will read like the last pages. It's okay for me to start in the "Training Arc". I actually like swimming alot, even if it's 12 hours....... ;-) L.O.L.

@Stuzzie

Also, yes, please take a look over the most recent pages. I'd say, from page 8 would be enough to catch you up on things and introduce you to the fighting system (Which you aren't expected to fully understand off the bat. It changes often anyways.).

Or you can start on page 6 to catch the climax of the "World Martial Arts" story arc. That was a fun battle!

When you are ready, PM me your ideas for a character sheet. I'm pretty lenient with whatever.

Meanwhile, we're getting shot at by turrets while waiting for my response and I'm not actually sure what we can do about this.

Also, just for clarification. Niko and I are still like 2 weeks ahead in terms of timeline, right?

@Double

Correct, you are two weeks ahead in the timeline.

I think so, and the answer was right in the post: We're gonna have to disable the nearest turrets (Jam them, smack them, just make sure they can't fire at us) before we jump down off the wall.

@FalloutJack

Also correct, you are each close enough to disable a turret. You're training, made you surprisingly fast. It also made you suprisingly strong. A good whack should do the trick, at least enough to break their hinges. It's up to you two.

Dragon Ball: Universe Zero

If possible I will join :-)

@Stuzzie

Okay, there are two story arcs going on at the same time at the moment, and the one that could use another person would be the "Training Arc". I don't know if you have already read through our RP, but in short, a group of Frieza's galactic patrol is coming to Earth. They are coming to probe our defenses, and if Earth is deemed too weak, Frieza will send reinforcements to conquer the planet.

Would you like to join this story line? If so, your character would be currently swimming through the ocean, from Kame House toward the main training island, a 12 hour swim (give or take a few hours, depending on your character).

@FalloutJack@Double
I'm going to check on this tomorrow around this time, to see if we get more responses.

Dragon Ball: Universe Zero

Is this still going on? I'd love to join a re-start!

@Stuzzie

How about it everyone? Is this still going?
