Pokemon: Gotta Fuck 'em All! (OOC/Planning)

[daxtinator396]

I forgot to ask this but are Thae and I accepted? Or are we counted as late comers?

[napsii]

in reference to the latest questions:

i think misc has it nailed on the head. it would make sense for each player to have varied starting equipment based on their history, so i would judge that through a case by case basis.

as for gear, i would keep that in a distinct section for clarity since those those are more like special items. although idk how it was really organized in the game. i think it was just all in one section?

everyone should, of course, have a pokedex. it is an implacable item to have! we can really assume it's there by default (who in the right mind wouldn't have one?) but it'd be worth listing in the backpack alongside key items since we could lose it or something

move lists need to be recorded more or less so we know what each pokemon actually can and can't do. you don't want someone suddenly deciding they can use blizzard when it's convenient, huh? either way, i would just tack something on to the pokemon on hand list:

Name/Type/Gender (Moveset):

Eevee/Normal/Female (Tackle, Quick Attack, Tail Whip)

something like that.

Here's my input on all this.

Backpack:
Starting Items: In the original pokemon you only started with 5 pokeballs and 1 potion on your computer. That's what everybody should start with in their bag. Just 5 pokeballs and 1 potion. Each player should all start with 100yuen. I know that it may not always "make sense" for some players to have these items or they should have more depending on their "back story," but for the sake of making everything fair for everybody and making easier on the GM I think it should just be what I said.

PokeGear: For now everybody should just have a cellphone in terms of this. In the game I believe bikes were found in my starting city (Mauville). To get a bike I think you have to reach the gym leader in Mauville first and beat him. In terms of other items like fishing rods and etc... you have to either win them or buy them.

Pokedex: Ofc every player needs to start with this aha.

Move List: Alright, so on this subject. I see you can either play this two ways:

1. You don't record the movelist: So what will happen is each players pokemon they get has the abilities it came with, through progression of the RP the pokemon will learn some new moves but they will never really forget their old ones. So they can pretty much have like 40+ moves BUT they need to be moves the actually pokemon can learn AND they need to follow the pokemon's type. You won't usually hear a mudkip using ember or something.

2. You do record the movelist: If you do it this way it will be more original like in the game but it will be very hard to keep track of I think. You could add a pokemon movelist to the backpack page so not only do we have a list of what's in our bags but what our pokemon movelist is. HOWEVER if we have the trainers who wanna "Catch (fuck) them all" then what if they have like 200 pokemon in their PC? It could get waaaaay out of hand to keep track like this so maybe only keep track of the pokemon "onhand."

If you want to keep track of it the movelist layout should be sorta like this:
Pokemon Name (Nickname in brackets if it has one): Move 1 | Move 2 | Move 3 | Move 4

For Example:
Aron: Tackle | Harden | Mud-Slap | N/A

(if they don't have all four moves yet you put N/A in the places where they don't.


Hope this helps

Both you and Thae are in this.

Check first posts, this guy is very meticulous.

Just stopping by to answer a few questions. Won't be updating anything just yet, but I'll let ya know ^^

I haven't searched through the entire thread yet, so I don't know if this has been answered or not, but how is the combat system going to work? Are we only going to have four moves and if so, do we get to pick the starting moves? The pokemon fights in the show are really action packed, pokemon flying about beating the shit out of each other, so it's going to be hard to pull off the same action in turn based text.

With the Realism rule, the battles will be less like the game and more like the show. So instead of.

The trainer shouted "Bolt Tackle", and Pichu used Bolt Tackle

it'll be more like

The trainer shouted, "Bolt Tackle", and Pichu immediately took off in the direction of its opponent, sparks spawning all around its tiny body. Speed and electricity fed off one-another, resonating and increasing the potential for a powerful attack. Pichu closed the distance in mere moments and, when in range, lunged straight for its opponent in a ball of force and eletricity, but even if this quick attack were to miss, which it rarely did, the trainer was ready. "Now follow up with Iron Tail!" If this combo were to land, this would surely be a quick end to a quick battle, but only of both moves landed. Who knew just what the trainer's opponent had in store.

No one-liners here

I'll go over the battle rules again and see if I can't clarify them a bit more

I forgot to ask this but are Thae and I accepted? Or are we counted as late comers?

Thae has been accepted, yes, but yours... actually. You JUST made it, Dax. I managed to squeeze you in there. Everyone's accepted characters have been added to the first post by Starting Town ^^ Which reminds me! I totally didn't put "Played By" next to the accepted characters! How will I ever know who is who lol. I'll go through it tomorrow and update that as well. Your question helped me realize that would probably be a smart thing to do xD

Check first posts, this guy is very meticulous.

I try to be, thank you It's hard though with all my excitement, lol.



I haven't much time to read everyone's comments as of yet, though I have skimmed through. I'll be responding and making my decisions tomorrow and update as well. Thanks a bunch for all your support, input, and patience guys!

Edit: Almost forgot mah Siggy of sorts xD

Thanks I would had it in earlier but I fell asleep xD I'm excited to see how you do with this and I gotta say you are super into this and shouldn't have a problem handling this with all your organization and what not and the way you did the little snippet of a battle post really helped me understand the processes involved.

[TheDaughterOfHades14]

DaughterOfHades is totally accepted right? No need to wait and shit? Right? D: ?

[Icaelus]

Hm. Is this still open/joinable?

[MiscChaos]

You'd almost definitely go on the Reserve List at this point. The Reserve List is there until Zeph knows how much he can bite of GM-wise and everyone on it will become active when A) Someone leaves, B.) He gets more comfortable as a GM, or C) he gets a Co-GM

[daxtinator396]

Chaos you are looking more like the Co GM everyday! So helpful is you. You got my vite if its needed but I think Zephie has it covered :3

[AsianP3rsuas10n]

Well fuck...I'm quite interested in this as well >_> but I still have an old RP to come back too >_<
Pokeman seems really fun to rp...not as much as playing it would be but er...man tough decisions...wait am I still aloud to join????

ofc, you will probably be put on the reserve list until there is room or gm is able to allow more people. If you want in just make a character list and when this rp can have more people ur able to join

Well 5 days after she found her ditto she made up her mind to run away leaving a note that says.
“Dear mom, dad, older sister, and younger brother,
I’m leaving with ditto. I’m tired of all this responsibility you put on me. It’s time for me to spread my wings and fly. Goodbye…. I’ll come back one day. Hopefully.
From, Lisa"

........ uh huh..... I'm sure some of these do not work together.

[daxtinator396]

That basically described my real life personality so yup it works together if somewhat dysfunctionally.

[Icaelus]

I'll probably post up a bio sometime soon :3.

[13Lack12ose]

I wonder if it's wrong of me to be excited for an 18+ Pokemon roleplay, to the point that I check this thread multiple times a day.

Edit*
Also, I wonder if you are needing a Co-Gm with all of the people wanting to join, and if that might potentially mess with the rp.

[Thaedael]

With like 20 people wanting to play, might need to break it down into two co-gms under the main gm.

You make a good point.

Now with school and, dare I say it... a social life butting in the way... I'm gonna need all the help I can get. I more than likely am going to ask a couple of you to co-gm. Divide the players up and rock out that way

I'll mull it over. Send some PMs, and get it poppin'. Had no idea this would explode so rapidly, lol. I do appreciate the turn out, though. Exciting stuff!
