I enjoy roleplaying, a lot more then I would like to admit. My favorite genres are medieval, sci-fi, and dungeons and dragons style role plays. I find myself okay with GMing my own roleplays, but I would rather be involved in a roleplay where I dont have to build something all the way up and then regulate that role play as well as run it. I have many oc's as well, all made to fill in for different purposes.
Yeah, sometimes they're almost pointless. It's too bad the method they use for swapping their colors around is so dependent on their original color. I get why they don't want to fully redesign their shinies, but c'mon.
Also, if any of you have ever messed with a fangame called Pokemon Reborn(not the roblox thing), they actually re-did a lot of the 'pointless' shinies. The only one I caught was a Bouffalant, but in Reborn the thing is basically an albino. Probably the only time I used that thing.
Yet some pokemon get a whole darn change like Charizard or Rayquaza or Mew or Espeon. Yet others get a lighter change or something. Not like them being shiny improves anything anyways.
Some shiny pokemon are nice but... well some of the ones I want on my team don't look all that good shiny. I mean I like Espeon and Mew (I reread the whole legendaries thing and found out they aren't actually part of the team just something to call on for help which means I got to think of a pokemon to go in his place.) The other pokemon don't have that much interesting coats when shiny.
I mean I like the idea I do but I don't think it is really needed. Like everyone else said, they are meant to be rare and we should keep it that way. I mean there are ways we could do it like roll a dice or something but it still could end with everyone having a team of shinies and that can be out of hand.
Hotaru nodded confident that between the two of them that they should do alright. She followed him towards the exit hoping that her little contribution would actually help. The two bags of rice were indeed decent sized. They could last them the entire trip till the next town. She looked to Zed and sighed, as much as she disliked it she would have to battle along the way. If she wanted to help out she would have to do some one on ones. She would also have to catch other pokemon as well. Zed was great and all but there were pokemon that would have a advantage on him... or the two would just have a staring contest. Normal pokemon and Ghost pokemon dont effect each other to well. Unless Zed learned a move like confusion or even a physical attack. It would be cool if there was someone that would be willing to teach him some physical moves like headbutt or something.
"Hey is that a Pokemon Egg? Neat, I saw one of these when I went down to Professor Elm's lab back in Johto since he was researching these... I always wondered what that egg I saw would hatch into... Hey, do you know what yours is gonna hatch into? I'll bet it'd be awesome",
Hearing him speak suddenly after they began to leave broke her current strand of thought. This resulted in her looking towards who he was talking to. The who was a kid who looked a bit old then her. Rylen mentioned a egg and this caused her to lean over and look at it too. "Oh wow, did you get that from the daycare place?" She asked. She wondered what pokemon it was going to become as well. She then noticed that the boy did have pokeballs in his bag but not attached to his belt. That meant he registered with the egg. Wait they let you register with a egg?... Even Rylen had his Larvitar's pokeball at his hip and Zed's was at her side as well. Therefore, he probably didn't have any other pokemon and he was going to travel alone probably with all the supplies he had crammed in there. This gave her an idea...
She looked over to Rylen and nudged him pointing to the fellow trainers belt. "Hey I think he don't have any pokemon but that egg. It could be dangerous for him to travel alone. Let's take him with us. It would be good for us to experience the egg hatching too. At least then he doesn't have to travel alone and with our supplies combined with his we all would have a chance of making it better to the next city and probably even more." She suggested. She then looked to Ian and held out her hand. "Hello, I am Hotaru. If you want you can travel with us. It would be a long walk alone... wait your going through route 2 right? If so you should join us. We are going that way too." She offered. If the trainer declined it would be okay. She could accept it, but she did hope he would accept. She really wanted to see what would come out of the egg and possibly even watch it hatch. She never really seen one do so except on television shows.
Hotaru checked her wallet once more to make sure she had what she thought. It wasn't much but it was something. Rylen said he couldn't judge her or anything if she ever spent her money on a bonnet for herself but that will probably occur later on in the journey. Right now she had to make sure she got food and water for the both of them. She moved to the right hand side of the door and picked up a basket and proceeded to browse. She had to go easy on her decisions, getting the generic brands will have to do for now until she got more money. Perhaps she could do some training against other trainers in hopes of saving up enough money that later on she could actually more effectively help out. Seeing as Rylen was going to look for camping utensils perhaps he could pick up a pot or pan. Which made her decide to look at some of the canned food.
At the rate of the prices she was wondering if she should just look for someone selling a rod and they could just go fishing. I mean the stuff wasn't overly expensive. She felt that perhaps she would invest in that though. It would save them money if they could catch fish in a decent lake or river. Then she saw something that wasn't too overly priced and could actually last them a good long while. Rice, it wasn't too expensive and it provided enough nutrition to get them by. She decided to get two bags and place them in the basket. Now that was there food. Now to see how much the mart's pokemon food was. Rylen did have a point with it being much better for pokemon. She wondered if they had specially made ones for certain pokemon. Like perhaps something made for ghost types or ground types. That would be cool if the mart had that kind of selections. Sure enough they did actually have those. I suppose when they say certain foods are made for certain pokemon they were not kidding.
She began to compare prices once more to the different brands only picking out what she could afford knowing that she still had to get water. Luckily she had her backpack where she could store some of it but she might need some help. She was able to pick out enough for it to last the pokemon for awhile then they would have to share their rice. That was another 100 gone.. now for water. Lucky for her they had a sale on the water, it was a buy one get one free sale and it didn't even require a stupid membership. She hated those stores. Oh look we got tons of stuff for sale... oh your not a member well that sucks. She picked up four bottles and then headed for the counter.
If that had only like one more member or two that could buy some supplies as well she wouldn't feel too bad on her small choices. She sighed and began to place the items on the counter. The clerk would in turn scan them and ring up the final price. The price pretty much made her flat broke afterwards taking up all of the 300P father had given her. This made her sigh once more. She paid the clerk and she raised a hand before he started to put it in bags.
"I got a backpack,.. we will be traveling through route 2." She explained and the clerk nodded. "Ah,.. you must be one of them new trainers that just started today. Well I hope you have a safe journey." He responded and she bowed slightly. She began to put the items in the backpack and then zipped it up. Hopefully Rylen had better luck then she did. Then again he probably had more money then her.
@LokiLeo789 as for not being able to sleep... Zeds got Hotarus back with hypnosis.
As for how we can meet up... Well Rylen and Hotaru will be going to a pokemart for supplies. Perhaps they could meet up there and pick up Ian on the way.
@LokiLeo789 Hey look at the bright side,.. your character had his first kiss and he just started. lol I think right now the only innocent trainers who are actually trying to go on a adventure at this point is Rylen, Hotaru, and Ian.... @Heckno12 Which reminds me... if your character once less chaos perhaps he should rush out and bump into Rylen and Hotaru. At least with us you wont get sexuall abused, verbally abused, and... you know what you wont get any form of abuse from us two. lol
Hotaru listened to what Rylen suggested and actually his idea sounded a lot better. A picnic sounded really good actually. She wondered where the closest pokemart was from here. "We might as well go to a pokemart then, they should have everything we need or want when it comes to supplies as well as food." Now he wanted to head out through route 2. Wasn't there a desert through there? She once more looked to her pokenav and scrolled upwards on the map and zoomed in on route 2... sure enough it cut through a desert. She looked to Rylen and smiled. "Lets make sure we bring lots of water, neither one of us has a water pokemon so we can't rely on that.... at all." She added. She then wondered what kind of pokemon would be seen between route 2. The desert will obviously be home to a lot of ground type pokemon but there was some green before it turned into sand. Hopefully it wasn't like most beginning routes in other regions. Where the only good pokemon to be seen were the common ones. Good news was as she studied it more it looked like route 2 just lead into a desert rather then cut through one. Which was a much better then what she had feared. Still the could get some water now and save them time later. Now to locate a pokemart. There wasn't one to far from her actually.
It was close enough that she looked up to see if she could see the blue roof already. Sure enough she spotted it. "Well lets go do some shopping,.. I promise I wont be like some girls and spend my 300P on a bonnet or something. I was thinking if possible going halves and buy a bit of food for us and with the rest for the pokemon. I mean I guess if it costs a bit more then I think the pokemon could just eat some human food. Zed eats a lot of out food." She then looked to Rylen. She didn't think making a friend would be this easy and simple. She just had to show her father. "First off,... I got to show dad I got a new friend already." She pulled out her Camera and then pulled from her satchel a good long rod to which had a attachment on it. She hooked it up to her camera and then stepped close to Rylen and then held it up in the air. Yes people she is taking a selfie. She pulled Zed into the photo as well before she took the shot. "Don't forget to smile!" She said. That was mostly aimed towards Zed though. He wasn't to fond of them. It's not like they followed the rules of real ghosts and didn't show up in the pictures or something... wait that's vampires.
@Heckno12 Key word is better,... Also Team Rocket agents didn't always use Ratatta and Zubats. A few used other pokemon. Such as a few of the team rocket heads and even decent ranked ones.
I enjoy roleplaying, a lot more then I would like to admit. My favorite genres are medieval, sci-fi, and dungeons and dragons style role plays.
