Fortunately, Paul isn't in a rush.
Sp Paul's got the fewest pokemon right?
Click to expand...
If he has at least three, he's tied with Sakura. If he's got two or fewer, then yes, he has the fewest.
 
The woman she bumped into.


The man Locke noticed.


Sakura location/distance from Pokecenter.


Raptors behavior.


Blaze hurting Sakura.


Shockers lack of any allegiance.


The theme of her speech.


Her blind faith in the pokedex.


The explanation of how pokemon control their moves.


Explanation of controlling elemental abilities.


Shockers useless human comment.
 
Hey Kyero, Since Paul's probably going to do research, I'm assuming I should check in with you about ho the specifics of teaching X move to a pokemon would work?


This is a future thing, as of now Paul's just reading xD Or something anyway.

Ah, a keen eye sir.


Well, allow me to shed some light on everything in the post that was a method of foreshadowing/setup for future events!!


1) Sakura's reliance on the Poke Dex


- Indeed, this is one of Sakura's key flaws as a character that she relies more on technology and information on paper than instinct and the idea of practical experience


2) The Pokemon Technique explanation


- This was a major foreshadowing example, and I'm surprised that this didn't come up given the nature of the RP... Sakura is learning, subconsciously, the anatomy and inner weaknesses of Pokemon. In short, she's learning how to kill them... Let that sink in for a minute and process that against who she is as a character.


(The man Locke noticed was actually a deliberate object of misdirection. The man was just a strange guy walking down the street, and Locke didn't like him)


3) Sakura's current distance from the Pokemon Center will play into how she reacts to the events that transpire


4) Raptor's behavior is indeed indicative of his pride and hot temper, and will play into his dynamic relationship with Sakura for as long as it may last... (perhaps I said too much?)


5) Blaze hurting Sakura was one important event which is going to affect him greatly, as is his reaction to what is about to come about (so further setup is on the way for his development)


(Shocker's lack of allegiance is just him being a brat, and he'll grow out of it)


(The theme of Sakura's speech was a moment of self examination and acceptance of weakness. Less foreshadowing/setup as a moment of growth and development)


So that's what you guys caught.


Here's one tidbit which only a crazy nut like me would understand due to how convoluted and innocent it may seem.


... The colors of the girl Sakura bumped into. A gray shirt, and a white skirt. Sakura means what? "Cherry blossom", right? What's a "cherry blossom"? A flower. What flowers are famous for being gray/white in coloration? The Artemisia family. If we take the root of the word for that family of flowers/plants, we get the name "Artemis". Who was Artemis? She is commonly associated with nature (the hunt, the animals, wilderness) and also as the protector of young girls...


So, who is the young woman Sakura bumped into given this information? Is she a future heroic figure/guardian? A villain?


I'll let you all ponder this for a while, as this girl that Sakura bumped into will play a key role in the future of the RP in a very interesting way.
 
Not a bad number, if I do say so myself.


I noticed the colors. But didn't recognize the flower correlation. Though I did know what Sakura translated to.


But hmm... Artemisia... Artemis... hunter... animals... wilderness... protector of girls... HO-OH! ARTEMIS! Coincidence?

When it comes to how techniques work, you can check in with me if you find yourself unable to imagine a realistic way of it working. Most techniques that are physical are pretty straightforward. However, when it comes to elemental techniques, here are the basics


Water Pokemon: Their skin allows them to absorb water from the very air around them (and even more so when submerged or exposed to water like during the rain) and concentrate it through their body to wherever their attack comes from (like Blastoise's cannons instead of his mouth)


Electric Pokemon: Electricity pouches/sacs in their cheeks or chest cavity to conduct it along their spinal chord and be used just about anywhere such as the tail, feet, or head


Fire Pokemon: Pouch of gas, glands of flammable chemicals (similar to saliva) which react to the gas and combust at the back of the throat and are launched as a powerful burst of flame from the mouth


Ice Type: Similar to water Pokemon, but their mouths have a sub-zero gland just underneath the top row of teeth (or lack of teeth) which freezes the water instantly on its way out to produce a beam of ice


Psychic Pokemon: Mind POWA!!!


Dark Pokemon: Similar to Electric types, but with a poorly understood darkness power


Grass Pokemon: Vines or Leaves produce the basic Vine Whip and Razor Leaf attacks, and for attacks like Solar Beam or Mega Drain, usually they will have to concentrate it in a point between their hands, leaves, or flowers and for Mega Drain they can use any extension such as arms, vines, etc to grasp hold of and drain their opponents of energy


Dragon: Similar to Dark types in that the source of their power is poorly understood. Dragon Rage, Dragon Pulse, etc rely on an unknown type of energy unique to Dragon Pokemon


(And yes, this means that non-Dragon Pokemon cannot use Dragon type attacks in this RP. They have to at least be half Dragon to use Dragon type techniques)


Bug Types: Rely on string, poison, etc.


Normal Types: Hyper Beam is pure energy concentrated into a beam


Ground: They possess a special sensory ability similar to Psychic types which allow them to tap into the potential energy of the Earth beneath them within a certain radius to cause isolated Earthquakes and such


Ghost: Similar to Dark types in that their source of power is poorly understood, and their Ghost type attacks are very mysterious and difficult to master


Fairy: Same as Dark types and others in that their Fairy energy is poorly understood.


For the rest, it's mainly physical attacks or use of their natural "element" as Pokemon to deal damage.

It could be... But then again... It could not as well.


You'll have to wait to find out!


Lol!


 
All right @CloudyBlueDay, Locke is all yours from here on out

I will post the Team Rocket attack tomorrow afternoon when I get home from class.

Gotcha boss.
Anything you need us to think out or prepare for?
Click to expand...
So long as you aren't anywhere near the Pokemon Center, you'll be good to go.


 


KingHink said:
And I can't remember or find it. How much is received in money after a gym battle loss?
Click to expand...
I changed the mechanics of this a bit from when I first made it. So here is the updated version:


Each type of battle yields a fixed amount of Poké Dollars upon completion no matter who the Trainer is or where the battle takes place.


- 1 x 1 battles:


* 1v1 - 200 Poké Dollars


* 2v2 - 400 Poké Dollars


* 3v3 - 600 Poké Dollars


* 4v4 - 800 Poké Dollars


* 5v5 - 1,000 Poké Dollars


* 6v6 - 1,200 Poké Dollars


- 2 x 2 battles:


* 2v2 - 500 Poké Dollars


* 4v4 - 1,000 Poké Dollars


* 6v6 - 1,500 Poké Dollars


I'll put this on the "Overview" Page for you guys.

Is this for losses or wins?
Click to expand...
Wins.


If you lose a match, you are not financially penalized.


Your earnings come directly from the Pokemon League. Your Pokedex will automatically connect to the Poke Dex of whomever you're battling (so long as the match is official with another Pokemon League participant), and as you determine the stakes, you'll enter them into your Poke Dex's and the winner will be granted their earnings from the Pokemon League in a direct deposit into their account.


Whenever you engage with someone who's not a Pokemon League participant (like Team Rocket), you will not earn anything.
 
So... Both people get paid regardless of who wins?


And only when stakes are betted does a trainer earn more?


 
In the old one you won a little even if you lost. Which made since so really Sucky trainers didn't go hobo and had the means to train and become better. Has that part changed?


Also what about 1v3 or 3v6 battles. Or do both trainers must use the same number of pokemon against each other?


And if fighting a gym leader nets then the same amount of cash as a normal trainer, is there any other compensation for the challenge besides a one time earned badge?

Only the winner is paid their due amount now.


The loser receives nothing, but they don't lose any finances for losing either.


There remember that there are ways to make money in this world as well such as holding a job, be it part time or full time. You can participate in local Battle Rings, which is a new mechanic I'm introducing (among others very soon) that allows Trainers to gather and participate in a mini "tournament" so to speak. There's nothing official about it, so there isn't any huge prize at the end. It's a more casual and public event that anyone can participate in to battle for as long as they can until their Pokemon can't go any further. For every victory you get, you are guaranteed a certain amount of money.


I'll be explaining more about this (and other new mechanics) in the "Rules" Page very soon before I post the Team Rocket event.


There won't be any 1v3 battles. The Pokemon League demands fair play, and so there must be the same number of Pokemon on the field at any given time. In a 2v2 battle, the first side to have a Pokemon faint loses the round, and must recall the other Pokemon and send out their next two. I'll explain this in more detail as well later before the Team Rocket event goes up.


Fighting a Gym Leader yields the badge, but nothing more. However, wearing the badge in a visible location such as on your shirt/jacket will grant you discounts at local Poke Marts in the city where the badge comes from. So if you manage to train up and beat Hans, and you wear the Rainbow Badge in Celadon City, you'll get discounts on local items. More on this later after I get back from school.


All of these updates will go into the "Rules" Page, as they are essentially rules to live by. Class starts in about an hour and a half, so by the time you read this I'll probably already be at school or eating breakfast (yes I slept in, yay!). But once I get back from school I'll get to work on the mechanics and rules regarding each of these concerns.

Since Locke is definetly not a low-leveled Pokemon, I was wondering what moves you think he would know.
Click to expand...
Locke will know all of Eevee's basic moves, being the oldest of the bunch. At around three and a half years old, he's not far off from being able to evolve as well. About another year IC and he'll be good to go.


But all of the basics and a few ones only obtainable in a more realistic setting such as this RP, including the following: Tackle, Take Down, Headbutt, Bite, Sand Attack, Quick Attack, Leer, Growl, Tail Whip, Double Kick, Scratch, Scary Face, Screech, and maybe you can push for Body Slam as well.


Locke is the one Eevee that doesn't have a special move all his own like the other two did, but his toughness and battle savvy nature make him more than a match for Pokemon that would give the other Eevee a hard time.
