Welcome, new trainers. You are here:

(NOTE: All maps and sprites will be from Bulbapedia's image database and cited, unless otherwise stated.)

Here are the Pokemon you chose. Don't drop 'em.

You are not in Kansas anymore. If you want to go to Kansas, you should have taken a left 15 miles back.

Battle System

If I say a wild Rattatta appears, someone will post and say:

"My _____ attacks using _____."

NOTE: Wild battles are first come, first serve. If you can get there first, you can battle. If I feel you've been battling too often in a row, I'll ask you to step aside and let someone else battle.

Battle will be more free flow, akin to the anime. Obvious wins will happen as they should (ie. Charmander VS. Caterpie)

Winning a battle nets +1 level up. If you're Pokemon participates in a double(or multi)/triple battle it will gain +2 levels.

If your Pokemon faints in battle, it will stay fainted until we get to a Pokemon Center, and it may not battle.

Special Events

Boss Battles, against Legendaries, powerful Pokemon, and evil humans, will have all Trainers working together to fight. They will be scripted for the most part, and will not use the above battle system.

Stats

Stats are rather simple. If you're Pokemon has a fairly high Attack and attacks a Pokemon with fairly low defense, it will deal more damage. Same with Special Attack. It's common sense really, .

Leveling Up and Learning Moves
If you win a battle, your Pokemon will go up one level. A Pokemon can use any move it could know up to that level, but may not use TM's and HM's or Egg Moves. Only natural level up moves.

Evolving
Pokemon will evolve via level up, with the appropriate stone, and at the right happiness. Trade evolutions will happen randomly. Feebas evolves when its pretty.

Items
First off, is evolution items. These will be found along the way, randomly for the most part. Next are Key Items, which will be found in set places during certain events, and these key items will be needed along the way. When it comes to HM's, you will find those too along the way. Back in my day we had to use the discs on Pokemon so they could use the moves, but nowadays, we just insert them into a machine. Unfortunately, I don't have the discs so we'll have to find them somehow, I guess.

Moving
We move when the group agrees we have finished an area. In a city, we may heal, which costs nothing and, in certain cities, challenge a gym. Gym battle wins award two levels per win, but only one member of the team may battle the gym leader, so don't argue over who gets to battle, because it's usually whoever gets there first (Just remember your type advantages!). To complete a region, we need to beat the Elite Four.

There's a lot of stuff to keep track of, and if you decided to ignore my help guide, you'll be
at a major disadvantage.

If anyone has questions, ask them, and then we will move on to Route 1!

Here it is, leggy. This RP is massive, and should keep six people busy for a while.

I hope it summons all of you...

I have given this my stamp of approval.

UserMike :
hackerman :
WarpStarFerret :

I messed up the first summons.

Ok that is a lot to take in. So is this a rules thread, or shall you go ahead and get this started? you will definitely have to explain more later on.

UserMike : The first post will be a general help guide, but this is the start of our venture into Kanto.
Do you have any questions?

Okay I'm ready how do we start would we or you start

hackerman : I'm going to wait for everyone to say they understand the rules, or are prepared to RP. I will start when we're ready.

Wild Lucario appeared and used close combat

tj4bigred : I'm ready to start, but I have one question: Ralts only knows Growl at level one, can mine know confusion early? It learns that at level 6. If not, I'm gonna need to team up with someone in double battles or something.

EDIT: Oh, and this needs to get stickied too.

So... this is more like a game than an RP? In that we trainers don't necessarily have to interact with each other and have dialogue but can just go around battling people?

Warp to answer your question, I knew that would happen, so I decided Ralts would know Tackle until it could learn Confusion, and then Ralts would lose Tackle.


Someone70, you don't get to battle whenever you please, I will write out when a battle starts and you young trainers will decide collectively who is best equipped to take on the task at hand.


Well, it's almost midnight, so everyone rest up, we have battles to do tomorrow!

here I am, ready to roll!

tj4bigred : Sorry about summoning you to your own thread so much, but everyone has posted here at least once. I think we're ready when you are, and half of us are online right now. By the way, will there be double/multi battles at some point? Also, since the "Pokemart" shut down, how will we get Pokeballs to catch wild Pokemon with? And how will that work, exactly?

WarpStarFerret : You will not catch Pokemon. Instead they may, randomly but sometimes set, decide to join you. They can be given to you in set points in the story, and sometimes you may even find rare eggs... Pokeballs are useless to me.

As for double/multi battles... Well you'll have to wait and find out, fufufu.

Since you youngsters insist you're ready.... Let's begin!

A wild Rattata appears!

Ralts uses Tackle! *Starts hoping for a critical hit*

By the way, I've Favorited this thread, so you don't have to summon me unless a special event or something is going on. Oh, and I'll stop summoning you too. (For the most part... )

my Rhyhorn attacks using Horn Attack!

LEGGY NOTICE IMPORTANT READ HERE

I'm not involved in the RP, but I will be watching over it to make sure rules are followed, and you all are playing nice.

Any fighting will be dealt with, just remember I'm watching over it all.

If there are any questions/concerns/comments, either Summon me here or PM me if it's too personal.

Have fun everyone. =)

Riolu use endure! Quick Riolu dodge it and use quick attack!

Ok.... are we each fighting the same Pokemon or our own Rattatas?

Someone70 : I think we're all pwning the stuffing out of the same Rattata. We need to get more organized, probably. It's the first battle though! Everyone wants a piece of the first battle, right?

*After Rattata's attack, assuming it's still in one piece* Ralts, use Growl!
