Thank you.
(By the way, my post does work, right?)

XD Damnit Misc, it's like you don't want my guy to get laid by the hot girl in the nurse's outfit

[MiscChaos]

Hey, not my fault Naomi got there before you got back XD

@that man: Yeah, you're in the clear.

[CrimsonNutcase37]

Pfft and she got the semi-aroused Nurse Joy and gets to flee with her while I gotta fight freaking 5 Grunts

[MiscChaos]

The door's still open if you wanna follow them out. Fighting 5 Grunts likely won't end well for you.

[CrimsonNutcase37]

Probably not

[that man]

hey, CrimsonNutcase, you do realize what Naomi thinks of you, right?

[CrimsonNutcase37]

Not a clue, the two have just met and to be fair, he's only concerned about Joy

[MiscChaos]

Since I'm tired of going through the RP again and again to pick up details on NPCs I had forgotten, lemme give ya'll an impromptu look into how combat works right now. Let's take the last turn of dragonmaster's fight against Purrloin for example. First I do research on each of the Pokémon and pull out relevant baseline stats. In this case, Ty and Purrloin are both using Physical Attacks, so the baseline stats I need are Speed (I pretty much always need Speed), Defense, and Attack. I don't NEED HP per se, but I like to take a look at it to get a feel for how much punishment a Pokémon can take.

Pidgey has a Def of 40, a Speed of 56, an Attack of 45, and a HP of 40.
Purrloin has a Def of 37, a Speed of 66, an Attack of 50, and 41 HP.

In normal circumstances, that means Purrloin's going first, but Ty used Quick Attack. Quick Attack has 100% accuracy, so he doesn't have to worry about missing due to aiming error and I don't roll to see if he connects the attack. Next, I roll 2d100, one representing Ty's aim and the other representing Purrloin's ability to dodge. In this case, Ty got a 86 and Purrloin got a 40, meaning no way in hell was Purrloin dodging. It ate that attack whole. Usually if the two are within 10 of each other, then either the blow was glancing or it was just barely dodged. 20 apart and the blow was either solid contact or dodged. 30 apart and the attack slammed into the opponent or it was dodged so well that they immediately counterattack. 40+ and the attack was Critical or the counterattack will be Critical. Next I do a quick comparison of Ty's Attack and Purrloin's Defense. Ty's Attack is higher than Purrloin's Defense, so Ty did some serious damage to his opponent. On top of that, it was critical, so Purrloin almost went down.

Purrloin attempted to use Scratch, which is another 100% accurate move, and the rolls ended up being 54 for Purrloin and 40 for Ty. Normally this means the blow was solid, but I also reward player ingenuity. In this case, dragon had his Pokémon take to the air before and after the attack, so I added a +4 to Ty's roll. That didn't do anything for the initial attack, but it did but Ty's roll up enough that the Purrloin's attack became glancing. And then I take that information and turn it into a post.

Hope you liked the insight! There aren't levels yet and I had Purrloin be about the same strength as Ty, so I didn't have to worry about adjusting stats like I did for the Rustboro War. No one was under any effects either, so I didn't have to drop either roll by a percentage. All in all, this is one of the simpler rounds I go through.

And now back to work I go!

That's cool and got me a little hyped about that battle

[MiscChaos]

Well, here's the beginning of the NPC list. Still woefully incomplete, but I can only do so much at a time.

[Nightmare]

(Hope I'm not too late)

Name: Luke Moonwalker
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Appearance: Tall, muscular black male with shoulder length dreads
Personality: Luke's not one for theatrics. His actions are pretty self centered and he'll capture the best of the best.
Home Town: Lavender Town
Starter Pokemon: Duskull
Background: Luke grew up in the creepy environment of Lavender Town and, as he didn't see the point in becoming a PokemonTrainer, it took him nine years to decide to do so. One day when he was kicking a grave, a Duskull appeared and asked him why he wasn't a trainer like everyone else. Luke explained that there were better ways to get money. In response, the Duskull murdered his family while they slept that night. The Duskull told Luke that if he evolves him into a Dusknoir and defeat the Hoenn champion, then he will bring his family back from the underworld and stop haunting him. Having no choice but to agree, Luke became a trainer and flew to Hoenn. So here he is now.

[MiscChaos]

It's never too late! ...OK, it's rarely too late! All I really need are three things now: 1) I need a starting town from you. This RP takes place in Hoenn, so you've gotta start somewhere in there. 2) A goal. What's Luke's purpose? Or is he just going on a Pokémon journey with no real goal in mind? 3) Your post count. Until you hit 10, me or one of the other mods have to approve your posts before they come in. That shouldn't be too much of a problem since I check the mod queue before I post, but it'd be one less annoyance for either of us to deal with.

[Laughing Hyena]

Updated my post so that I can say what I intended to say. So here's hoping it stirs up something.

[daxtinator396]

Alexis is hotter than I realized >> bahhhhh

[dragonmaster121989]

Hey misc by chance did you remember to add my angry shop keeper?

[MiscChaos]

She's in my head, but not on the NPC List yet. I remember her clearly, but after hours of looking through the RP to find details I had forgotten about, I didn't feel like adding her to the document quite yet. That'll likely happen when I pick this back up tomorrow. Or later today. Or whatever. I'm sleepy, dammit!

[dragonmaster121989]

Lol ok hope you sleep well misc. and by chance do I get a hint at what gender my new purrloin is? Kinda hoping for a girl so it balances out.

Oh and I'm curious will me pissing her off be added to her profile?
