Well then, time to join the pounding! Come on out, Shinx! *sends out Shinx*

Use Tackle on that poor helpless Rattata!

Riolu use foresight, it can't escape!
tj you really set this up real nice, but you are going to have to give us more detail with the complexity of this RP.

If I may offer a suggestion tj, I would prefer more of an interaction with the story. I know it's a bit early, but judging from the way the RP has been laid out, it seems we just wander around, encounter a battle, shout a few commands, and move on. I would prefer it if we had some character interactions, like our trainers could do more than just battle.

Of course, if that's not what you have in mind for the RP, don't sweat it. I don't mean to intrude on any plans you have.

Rattata, not expecting four simultaneous attacks, gets the living crap beaten out of it. It falls to a heap on the ground.

Ralts, Rhyhorn, Shinx, and Riolu all gain one level.

Rattata's information has been added to your Battledexes.

However next time only one Pokemon will get the experience.(Unless in the case of a double/multi battle)

I suppose I wasn't clear enough. Only one trainer gets to battle the wild Pokemon at a time. First one to get there gets to battle the Pokemon. If you see someone has already engaged in a battle, don't try to battle as well. If you don't see it, because you're racing to battle first, but someone gets there first, edit your post to cheer on the battler, rather than leaving it there.

Someone70 : It will be plenty interactive. As of right now, I'm trying to ease everyone into it so we could roll through the RP once we get going.

Well, now only one person can battle at a time, but isn't it possible for one Pokemon to be completely overleveled if the same person happens to keep posting first every time?

I'll set a rule that no trainer may battle 3 times in a row.

"Rattata, not expecting four simultaneous attacks, gets the living crap beaten out of it. It falls to a heap on the ground.

Ralts, Rhyhorn, Shinx, and Riolu all gain one level." WIN.

Also, the no more than 3 consecutive battles will work for now, but you should come up with a secondary rule for if someone does 3 battles, skips one, 3 more... etc..

By the way, will you be deciding exactly who gets what Pokemon? Or will we decide amongst ourselves when you decide someone gets a new Pokemon?


EDIT: If we pick for ourselves, I think we should all pick a "theme" and stick with it, so we don't all fight over the same Pokemon.

Themes-
Phantom--Psychic, Ghost, and Dark (If we follow this system, I claim this one)
Nature--Grass, Bug, and Poison
Earth--Ground, Rock, and Steel
Destruction--Fire, Electric, Dragon (NOTE: Dragons probably won't be available for a LONG time)
Sea and Sky--Water, Ice, and Flying
Heavy Hitters--Normal and Fighting + any type of the person's choice (first dibs)

I know this isn't the fairest system, especially for the Nature and Sea and Sky themes, but it should help keep fights from starting if we all pick a theme now. Also, if anyone has a better way to organize the types into themes and tj gives this system the O.K., PLEASE post them, but leave the Earth theme alone. It is VERY possible to make a VERY good team with proper defensive typing with those types, and those teams are scary tough.

... I have to say, I like the system, as almost all Pokemon are eqaul when you take out stats, like we've done here. So types make all the difference. This also allows you to work together to beat opponents. If you come across a powerful Aerodactyl, you'll want the person with Water types taking it on. You are teammates, on filling your Battledex. Use each other's strengths to the groups advantage.

To avoid complications... If someone were to battle x consecutive times they'd have to wait twice that many turns to battle again.

If I battle two times in a row, I cannot battle again for four turns.

Does this seem like a fair addition to the rule?

Okay, now we'll take a vote. (Be sure to post what theme you want along with your vote. Warp has Phantom)



Do we want to move to Route 1 or Talk to Daisy first?

I'll take the Sea and Sky group, even though I already have a Shinx (destruction just isn't my type).

##Talk to Daisy

The new rule is still confusing... When is the person not allowed to be battling? And twice that many turn seems like a lot. Something like two or three, unchanging, would be fine.

tj4bigred : How about you make it so that initially just one battle followed by one skip resets the counter, but if someone does every other battle for three battles then you can make them wait for three battles after the third battle: I'll illustrate, since that's hard to follow. 1's are battle, 0's are skip:

Person A--1-0-1-0-1 If someone does this, then make them miss either 3 battles afterward, so others have a chance to battle.

Person B--1-1-0-0 Normally, I would personally allow this, but we have 6 people in this RP, so multiple battles in a row should be penalized. If someone does 2 in a row and doesn't take the 3rd consecutive battle, then make them skip either 3 or 4 battles. I think it should be three though, and not four.

Person C--1-1-1 We REALLY want to discourage this, so make the penalty for three consecutive battles pretty severe, with either 5 or 6 battles skipped, preferably 6 (like you wanted originally anyways)

Person D--1-0-1-0-0 This should totally reset the counter, as if that person never battled at all.

...Or you could make it simple, and do what Someone70 said and make us wait a set number of battles after each battle we're in before we can battle again, with the 'magic number' being either two or three. That SHOULD work, but we might get stuck in a tricky spot if we need a certain person's Pokemon to battle someone, though. :/

Someone70 : Fair enough, just make sure your Ice type isn't half Water type. Wouldn't want ALL of your Pokemon weak to Electric types, just in case.

Oh, and I vote for talk to Daisy.

... I'm beginning to think I should make my own RP, the way I'm micromanaging this one even though I'm playing the RP and not running it.

WarpStarFerret : Try this system. You CANNOT under any circumstances battle more than once consecutively, or you receive a three battle penalty. Battling three times wouldn't happen because they have their penalty.

1-1-0. 1 receives penalty of 3.

1-1-1-0 Really shouldn't happen, 1 gets penalty of 6.

1-0-1-0-0 No penalty.

1-0-1-0-1 1receives Penalty of 3.


I guess all I did was reword what you said....


Talk to Daisy- 2
Route 1- 0

A litle chat, and then we can be on our way? I decide to approach Daisy to see what's up.

So who is Daisy anyways? Just a random person we meet in town?

Yeah, that should work tj.

Someone70 : Daisy Oak gives your character the Town Map Key Item in the original Pokemon games. And no, the name Oak is NOT a coincidence; she's a relative of Prof. Oak.

Um, hope that you won't mind, but i wanna to join this RP! My theme is Water & Sky, because i got Totodile

*Walking down the road of tree, and saw a strange group of gang (That's you guys...) and walk up to them, asking who are they...*

Vizzed Ghostblood : Actually, I have the Sea and Sky group; I don't think it has to be related to your starter.

*notices the approaching trainer* "Oh, hello. We're you just starting on your Pokemon journey too?"

Someone70 : *replies back to person* "Yes ma'm, i just started the journey, got my pokemon from the lake while fishing... i never knew there so much school of magikarp... i even got a shiny magikarp, but i let it go... because... IT PUSHED MEH SISTER DOWN INTO WATER!" and started to laughing because of memory i had* "sorry, it was funny... hehehehe"

yes, let's chat with daisy. and by the way, I claim Heavy Hitters. my choice type is flying.

epic-san : *turned and look at you and wondering* "Um, may i ask sir, who is Daisy?"

Vizzed Ghostblood : Sigh, you had to sign up at the sign-up thread, but it's too late now. We've already started.

We go to meet Daisy. She is delighted to have visitors. So delighted, in fact, she gives us an option between two items, a Bike Voucher or an Item Finder. Which do you choose?
