Pokemon: Gotta Fuck 'Em All! (OOC, take 2)

[dragonmaster121989]

good to see ya back misc. now I just need to do make my post.

[daxtinator396]

Well hmm where to begin... well Steve is an only child and he grew up in Lavaridge town. His parents weren't around much of the time and he spent a lot of time alone at home. So of course he had a lot of freedom. He didn't need a job to do things and couldn't find anything he wanted to do at the time anyhow. Ranger school appealed to him but then he realized he could only have one pokemon of his own. So trainerhood is was. But being in a town with a gym meant EVERYONE wanted to be a trainer like Flannery. So pokemon were hard to come by and quite expensive. Then Dusky wandered in. The fact that no one had caught her was strange considering the circumstances. He knew how they evolved and even had seen a few with Flannery. He had seen some videos of Flannery too.. that were.. less than reputable. It fueled his fantasies for her and made him question Pokemon alittle. She sure was hot though so he didn't rightly care that she was being reamed by a Typhlosion. He never looked at pokemon quite the same way though.

@BHorn:

@Ryo: If you play your cards right, then yeah, the little Pokemon hybrid can travel with you. The main problem, I think, is that Kal plain forgot to grab some stuff before she ran out the door of her house. I think I can rectify that though.

@dragon: Everyone gets one, so I'm going to issue you a warning: You may want to reconsider your plan of action. Vital Throw isn't just a 100% accurate move, it's a move that literally can't miss unless there are outside circumstances. Based on that, I'd say you'd want to rethink your move. Either keep Typhoon out of Makuhita's range or enlist help for starters. If you can come up with something better (and you have before), then go for it!

@Dax: Based on his history, I think I'll merely absorb him into the main story like I've done with Kaor and Varen thus far. A few variations, maybe since I can probably do something with Dusky, but for the most part, I think you'll be a part of Alexis' story and a good part of the main story. If the opportunity to split off and create a character story for him shows up, then I'll take it without hesitation.

Thats cool Misc, i think having to earn her items works well anyway ^_^ she didn't really have much time to plan for gear so once the issue in lilycove is dealt with we can probably sort out gear then... some how ^_^

[dragonmaster121989]

well I did a little reading on the move and found out exactly what you meant it indeed is a 100% hit move just takes time. other moves normally go first before it. only thing that i can think of right now is to use gust and stay at range. only problem there is then it would seem like it would turn into a game of tag and the help idea only thing that comes to mind would be if Magnemite was awake and used thunder wave.

[Kuragari]

Sorry, I've not been feeling very motivated to post lately. I might post tomorrow if I have time.

[daxtinator396]

Sorry I can't think of anything cool for him x.x he is a very mundane character x.x

[DemonsLust]

@ daxinator
i haven't been on long enough to send messages. Give me a second and i'll post on 'Out Of Character' so we can talk.

[MiscChaos]

Alright, same deal as before: I'm held up for posting until Kura does, but at least I have prior warning this time. Still, same thing: I'll finish the post up at 10AM tomorrow morning (about 14.5 hours from now) and post shortly after that. That time limit goes for anyone else who hasn't posted as well.

On another note, I've been doing more research into how the games do stat building. I won't claim to have a firm idea yet, but I've got a good start. It won't be implemented for some time since I've got moving and shit to do and still need to 100% (or at the very least 80%) figure things out, but I might be able to come up with HP, ATK, etc. to go with your Pokemon and, keeping with the training system we've got so far, have ya'll slowly build those as you battle. Would ya'll be cool with that?

Speaking of moving, please remember: Next Friday I'm going to be off the site completely while I move to Miami. I'll be back anytime between the Tuesday after that or the Thursday after that.

[dragonmaster121989]

the leveling system works for me basicly the more we battle the better we become the way it works in the games just takes time.

and the move I totally understand it takes time to get your self all set up, but I do have one question for ya
you said your moving in with your friends you went to visit last time right if that's the case will this rp cause any problems for you?

[MiscChaos]

It shouldn't. I have my own room (for the first time in my life) so they shouldn't just pop in unannounced.

The reason I don't use the word "Leveling" is because then I'd have to figure out how EXP points are determined and handled and I don't know that quite yet. As it is, I'm trying to create workarounds for the current system because, say for HP, the formula looks like this

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

I don't have anything in place for levels or EV values, so I have to come up with a work around for those since getting an EV value would cause me to have to remember every single Pokémon you've fought and calculate an EV value based off that. For every other stat, the formula looks like this:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

I don't have levels, EV values, OR nature values for this one, so I need to figure something out for those. But the formulas themselves are horrendously simple to me, so it's just the matter of doing those workarounds.

EDIT: Also, just found the EXP formula. Well, formulas. There's a different one for Gen I thru IV and for Gen V. I'm going with Gen I thru IV because it's MUCH simpler

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Now the only problems really are 1) handling diminishing returns since the formulas on THOSE are mind-boggling! 2) Pokémon apparently have different experience groups. I'd have to figure out which Pokémon goes in which group. Lucky, there's a table on how EXP is handled on each of those groups, so I don't have to figure out how much EXP one group needs to level up by forumla.

Hmmm. Another of my favorite pokémon is next on my list.



He's so adorable! ^_^

for some odd reason on my end it was showing a broken img tag seams you fixed it or my pc was reading it wrong
and I just want a pichu

@misc ummmmm I'm glad it's you working with that stuff and not me

EDIT!

[Nobudi]

<Looks at Misc's posted equations.>
I'm so glad I'm using a streamlined version of shadowrun.

[dragonmaster121989]

Other then pichu I also want eevee and a vulpix maybe a growling as well but there is a few starters I wanna ask about misc can we get the first 9? Well more 1, 4 and 7 I want my starters from that region :p

[berserkerhorn]

probably won't post until onday... skip me

[LoneWolf]

Posted! (Something like a minute before the deadline, if I'm calculating it right ... hope that's not a problem, Misc.)

As for the formulae, I'd prefer to have any EVs (mostly) divorced from the specific Pokemon we battle if possible. Otherwise we get situations where the Pokemon I want to use based on the type match-up isn't the one I want getting these EVs, and reasons to stay in one place farming Pidgeys for speed EVs, and other such min-maxing headaches. (On the other hand, I've managed to play the games without going crazy over that, so I'm sure I'd manage here as well...)

Other than that, I don't really mind how you decide to handle it. Whatever works for you is fine.

Edit: there are lists here of which Pokemon are in which experience group, in case that helps.

[daxtinator396]

Well I posted up too :3 sorry for the delay. I had all night grad. Didn't get him til 6AM and then slept til 12 xD

[MiscChaos]

OK, I'm WAY late. Basically: I overslept. Posts will be along shortly. Actually, gimme a minute. I've learned that it's a terrible idea to try writing after just waking up.

EDIT:
@Wolf- I was planning to outright ignore EV for the most part anyways because I'm fairly certain no one wants to spend countless posts farming battles to raise a specific stat. Those lists are gonna come in handy though. Thanks!

[Laughing Hyena]

Besides it limits how we can raise our Pokémon. Examples shown in the anime and rarely in game reveal that battling isn't the only way to train Pokémon. It helps but it's not the only path to take.
