Ladies and Gents, it's that time again!

With the successes of Castle Vonmoto and PokeCon behind us, we bring you now to...

The Petropolis Grand Invitational


This is a battle tournament unlike any yet seen in Furoh. To celebrate (and test) new Daioh technology, a new stadium has been built north of Petropolis, on the peninsula overlooking distant Charizard Isle.

Here's how it's going to go:

The Preliminaries:
Each participant will be paired up with another participant. First, each person will post their own 1 v 1 battles against an NPC, signifying their entry into the tournament proper. Then, each person will have a PVP battle, 3 on 3. (Either single, double + reserve, or triple battle is acceptable, but must be agreed upon by the rpers). Win can either be decided by a coin toss, by judge (me), or by agreement.

Each combatant will have a maximum limit of 1 day to post (w/one day extension if requested through moi). Failing to post within the time limit will give the opponent a free turn, and they will be free to post again.

The Quarterfinals:
Quarterfinals will be Double battles with Reserve, in the style of the Furoh Gyms.

The Semifinals:
The Semi-finals will be done in triple battle style, with only three available pokemon.

The Finals: The Finals are in single battle format, with full 6 v 6, or scaled down to the smaller number. For example, if Douken Sota were to face Darius Dovakin, they would use only two pokemon each.

The Magic:
Daioh will be testing out its new technology, which will affect Pokeballs upon their registration: All Pokemon will be scaled to Level 50 for the duration of the tournament, and will be able to learn all of their techniques up to that point. If a pokemon is scaled down to 50, it will retain all of the techniques it has already learned. After each battle, the level will return to its original, and the techniques learn will disappear.

No evolutions are to occur during the level scaling period.

Catching Pokemon during the tournament will still be calculated via your current levels, not under the Level 50 scale.

The Extras:
For Co-ordinators, a great concert-hall style Contest Stage has been built for exhibitions, appeals, and any Contest Battles that should happen to occur.

A small village has cropped up around the area, providing food, shoppes, boutiques, and various other activities.

A dormitory-style hotel has been built for all participating combatants. An adjoining hotel houses any guests who were invited to spectate. It is complete with all sorts of fun amenities to be described later.

A small villa with motel like housing has appeared for spectators coming in from all over the world.

Several exhibition matches are to take place throughout the tournament, featuring notable trainers and co-ordinators from around the world.

The Catch:
Do not worry if you do not make it past your first battle. There will be plenty for you to do during the thread.

The Rewards:
For getting past the first leg of the RP and remaining active throughout the preliminary battles and events: +5 levels
For getting past the second leg of the RP: +5 Levels
For staying until completion of the Mass RP: +5 Levels.

Therefore, it is possible to earn a total of +15 Levels throughout this mass RP.

The MASS RP may take place at the same time as your other rps, thus bypassing the 'one rp at a time per character limit'.

Secondary Characters may also be used, but they should not meet with Primary Characters.

Any further questions may be addressed here. I'm happy to answer them.

Justin Smart and Jill Laurent plssss

I really like the scaling to level 50, btw. Justin's Hitmontop isn't so scary anymore!

Posted by: Toogee May 15 2013, 07:39 PM

Schedule pending, Darius will show up as a combatant, while Pan shall be a spectator. Might just be one or the other though.

Posted by: colourcodedchaos May 16 2013, 06:57 AM

Sooooooo up for combat in this! Especially the LV50 scaling. I shall have to powerlevel my Tynamo even more...

Posted by: Douken Sota May 16 2013, 10:04 AM

Douken Sota, two badge, will be contending along with Seican Serroc, zero ribbon. Good bet Serroc will want to do a pre-final show.

Posted by: Hunter01 May 17 2013, 10:12 PM

Sounds awesome! Include Sebastian West in it please.

Posted by: Jonahman10 May 18 2013, 05:55 PM

I having a feeling that Amelia's burning hatred of Petropolis would prevent her from participating. Unless there is an armed invasion of Petropolis.

Though, I might participate if I can ever get my second character profile finished...

Posted by: Kamaitachi May 18 2013, 06:02 PM

If it's any consolation, it's not in Petropolis proper.

PSSST. (I can also change the name of the tournament.)

Posted by: Living Arrow May 19 2013, 02:10 AM

Both Darryn and Lori would like to participate! Also, since I'm sure Lyla wouldn't want to get left out, would she be able to take part in the preliminaries and fail to progress?

Posted by: Jonahman10 May 19 2013, 11:17 AM

Hmm, maybe there could be mass protests or something. Anyways I should probably prioritize my RP with Toogee before I commit to this...

Posted by: Living Arrow May 19 2013, 02:39 PM

Oh, and when is this starting? I'm on vacation 24th-31st May happy.gif

Posted by: Dragonwish2 May 19 2013, 03:05 PM

I'd like to sign up Liz for this as a combatant. I like th idea for this and I can't wait to see how this goes.

Posted by: Douken Sota May 19 2013, 03:51 PM

Well, after Lyla has trouble with the prelims, she could play cheerleader to Douken and Darryn... unless they find themselves against each other XD

Posted by: colourcodedchaos May 20 2013, 08:47 AM

At which point, Adelaide would offer to make her a clone out of three ham sandwiches and a packet of staples.

Now I am going to expect some crazy things with this...

Posted by: LittleShadowPokemon May 20 2013, 03:33 PM

I'll sign up with Joey. Are characters able to participate in both the battle and contest, or one or the other type deal?

Posted by: Toogee May 20 2013, 07:29 PM

If I can get some sprites of participating characters, I can whip up a sig like these:

I would like to register with Hunter, please.

Posted by: Kamaitachi May 21 2013, 11:41 PM

@LSP: Combat is the main spectacle here. There's a coordination stage for Co-ordinators to strut their stuff. I'd say, for fun, some of the co-ordinators have a little sidebar match? The main event is the Battle Tournament though.

@Toogee: Here's the sprite for Tag...that you made! konata.gif I don't have one for Cesc. sad.gif

There ya go.

Oh, if a tournament round was coordinator vs. coordinator, could the change the format to contest rules?

Posted by: Dragonwish2 May 22 2013, 06:33 PM

My mind just wondered if Meloetta is going to come in and save the day by getting everyone to sing like High School Musical and dance in perfect coordination.

Could this be....?

That sounds like a plot I would make up...

Posted by: Kamaitachi May 23 2013, 10:55 AM

I'm pretty amazed that you figured out Part I of the plot.

Well, after Meloetta disappears and the trainers' guards are down, all the trainers are captured and thrown into a Hunger Games style arena, where they have no choice but to fight to the death. The losers will be allowed to make new characters with the same # of Pokemon and save average levels as their dead trainer. The winner gets all of their pokemon scaled up to 100.

I'd prefer it to be straight battle, but if the two co-ordinators agree, I'm sure they can scramble and assemble the judges.

When does this start? It'd be nice to make this Zack's first outing, even if he'll probably fail quickly. It's just I have major exams very soon and will be internet-less starting on Saturday. I finish on the 19th of June. I'm just trying to gauge how likely it is that I'll participate sufficiently in this, because if there's no way I can, I won't.

Posted by: Aura Dynasty May 23 2013, 04:33 PM

Since I don't have the right amount of team members to compete as a combatant, you can sign Jill A. Cortoma up for the spectator-role! :p

And I'll throw in her sprite asap too!

The way I understand it, you will be given rental pokemon to fill in the empty spaces if needed. Otherwise, it's scaled down to the lower team number. Don't let a technicality stop you!

Alright, then I'm in! I'll go work on my sprite now ^^
And since I only have two pokémon, it'll probably be rental ones I'll be given.

Hmmmm, put me in then. If there's an even number of people without me, I won't participate, just to make things easier. If there is an odd number, I'll go towards the end of the battles. I'll try to catch up quick.

EDIT: Le sprite.

Posted by: Master Houndoom May 26 2013, 02:59 PM

Against my better judgement (due to having so little time lately), Branwys will participate, mostly at the urge of Dimo to help get over some of the stresses caused by "In the Shadows" [post coming soon!]. Jaima will not participate, as I feel he needs to sit one out (and the afore mentioned timey wimey stuff)


Posted by: Toogee May 26 2013, 08:09 PM

I've got some time issues myself. That's why I'm going to withdraw Darius from this one. Besides, thinking about it, a battle tourney isn't really his scene anyways (not now anyways).

Posted by: colourcodedchaos May 28 2013, 02:43 AM

So, here's the sprite for the contest, courtesy of the inimitable Toogee:-



Upon seeing this, I may or may not have squeed.

..... WOAH.

Feels like the younger kids are stuck in a clique around the middle, with the older on the left and the newer people on the right. Poor Pan is surrounded by men crossing their arms. :P

Very lovely Toogee, it's beautiful. Super excited for the RP now!

Is that a Fire Emblem Arena? Because I'm in love with it!

Toogee, could you possible edit that with the shades I added to Zack's sprite? Sorry to be a pain, I just want accuracy. It nevertheless looks great though.

I can neither tell ages nor genders correctly 75% of the time. Apologies. irritated.gif

Posted by: colourcodedchaos May 31 2013, 12:10 PM

I also kinda love how Adelaide was sufficiently distracted by a passing sciencey-type thought to write it down during the photo. If a maternal figure was there, there'd've been a grounding for that. Also a "we told you not to bring that" and probably a "this is going to be a fun family holiday"...

And, knowing Adelaide, an "Oh sweet merciful Arceus how did you make so many damned CLONES?"

Posted by: Master Houndoom May 31 2013, 08:47 PM

No apologies needed, DW2. She's practically a gnome, and everyone puts her at about 10.

CCC, I love how you can pick up on stuff like that. I never would have if it were my character...

Posted by: Aura Dynasty Jun 1 2013, 07:55 AM

Although Hunter's sprite is one of the younger ones he just seems to stand out as if he was a giant. But even so, nicely done, Togee!

Yeah!

I've seen that my sprite had the same Sprite used as base (Cress). But I'm not sure who's sprite it is.


EDIT: Dragon Wish's Elizabeth has the same sprite-base. Perhaps if I were to battle DW2 it could be "Taking a stance".

Yes! This must definitely happen now. Of course, your sprite's so unique I didn't even notice the similarity. Lovely vest and ponytail on it.

We're going to see some interesting battles and character interaction. crazy.gif Uber excited!

Ladies and Gentleman, here are your preliminary assignments!

You are free to 'arrive' in the main thread, but then please head to your 'preliminary match', which is a short 1 v 1 versus an imaginary opponent (except for Lyla Moore, who, I believe, is slated to lose her preliminary, yes?)

Spectators, you are free to spectate on any match you wish, as well as set up your presence in the main thread.

Imaginary?

*double checks*

So in the thread titled with our character's name, we first hold a battle with a NPC of our creation and win (unless you wish to lose), and then have our character battle with the second character in the title name? On it.

EDIT: Aura, it is happening! Time to take a stance!

Posted by: Kamaitachi Jun 1 2013, 04:24 PM

Correct ^_^.gif Your first post should be your preliminary round versus an NPC, which you win (or lose, in Lyla's case).

The next set of posts should be the PVP battle.

You're also free to appear in the main thread "between battles", though time in these events is always a bit...flexible.

Posted by: free oatmeal Jun 1 2013, 05:24 PM

Will we be controlling our battles (the description of NPC, their Pokemon, etc)?

EDIT: never mind, decided to be an absolute noob and not even look at the forums before posting here.

D-DOUBLE EDIT: Could someone describe the process which makes the Pokemon Level 50.

Posted by: Toogee Jun 1 2013, 06:34 PM

My interpretation: when the pokemon are registered, they are put in a computer (just like with healing). The device works from there, adjusting levels and stats via coding. At least, that's how I interpret it.

Pan will join in as soon as her current RP ends.

I'm tempted to put Darius back in as a spectator and party it up in the village, gorge himself on fried everything grin.gif.

Posted by: Kamaitachi Jun 1 2013, 06:39 PM

Sounds correct.

Also...do it! It'll be like in Skyrim where you run around and pick stuff up from the floor and eat it.

Posted by: Douken Sota Jun 1 2013, 07:29 PM

You know Wednesday, i toooka personal day to relax, and when i was walking back, I was seeing Seican taking on Adel, like, "the rockstar v. the wannabe doctor. It would be a battle on who gets driven nuts first!"

Posted by: Dragonwish2 Jun 1 2013, 07:32 PM

If a character's Pokemon is at the right level to evolve already (without the lvl 50 upgrade, of course), could it evolve outside the battle arena without the special level boost provided? Or is that a no-no, since this is an in-between RP's type of event?

Posted by: Kamaitachi Jun 1 2013, 07:42 PM

Only if it would be able to evolve without the level scaling. Ie, a level 40 charmander could evolve, but a level 12 one could not.

Posted by: free oatmeal Jun 1 2013, 07:47 PM

Does my first battle all have to be in my first post?

Posted by: Kamaitachi Jun 1 2013, 08:29 PM

Sorry everyone! I changed the first post rule so that each person's preliminary is only 1v1. I read Hunter's entry, and realized that I didn't change it on this thread! My bad!

Yours is better than good! You get a gold-star for overachieving!

monocle.gif Thank you, feels good. I have been writing and brainstorming since you posted the topics.

Sorry about that, I was unsure.

Alright, let's rock the stage! But DW2, I'm short on one pokémon, so should we just keep it 2v2 or should I ask for a rental?

Okay, CCC, Adel... whatever I should call you, where was your character at all?All i read there was the yelling and dull-toning of announcers, no form of your character at all.... I can't figure out how to respond to it at all.

That was her prelim, so Seiccan wasn't there to begin with. Just have Seiccan enter the next arena to meet up with her.

Douken - 3C's post was pretty funny and it was clear to me what went on in her post (Adelaide winning her prelim match) so I personally feel that thinking of a response to it wouldn't be that bad. The end is equally as open-ended as yours so there's no real trouble there.

3C - Although this style of post would have been great in a roleplay contest, it is potentially confusing for other members. We do ask all members of PANE to write in third person for their characters so that posts from different members in a single roleplay flow nicely. That said, I'm sure your first post was intended as a creative opener which was leading into a third person style for your second post so no real harm done.

This sort of thing should be taken to PM in the first instance - please can everyone try to remember that before posting discussions about their battles in this thread otherwise this page could become a rather messy affair!

I'll shorten down to 2v2 for the battle. Should make it easier for both of us. Meanwhile, I'll get up the preliminary battle ASAP.

Posted by: Master Houndoom Jun 2 2013, 12:29 PM

This humble one has a question: Has the RNG been used, and if so, how do we find out who gets what? Branwys is going into this competition with only two pokemon, so she needs one more for her first match, if I read the rules right...

Posted by: Toogee Jun 2 2013, 12:35 PM

For prelims, it's a 1x1 match, so you're good there. The next match could be a 2x2 if need be. Otherwise, Kamai can rng a pokemon for you. wink.gif

Okay, CCC, Adel... whatever I should call you, where was your character at all?All i read there was the yelling and dull-toning of announcers, no form of your character at all.... I can't figure out how to respond to it at all.


Yeah, all that? That's just the announcers describing her preliminary round, which is that thing that we were supposed to do. I did it differently from you in a manner that references the Vitriolic Best Buds relationship of my favourite Starcraft 2 esports commentators, Mike "HuskyStarcraft" Lamond and John "TotalBiscuit" Bain. I apologise if it confused you; next time, I'll be sure to use little words and maybe an accompanying illustration.

I have a whole sheet of rng'd rental Pokemon.

Posted by: free oatmeal Jun 2 2013, 05:34 PM

Could someone care to explain the Sky Arena a little more?

Posted by: Dragonwish2 Jun 2 2013, 07:09 PM

I'd imagine it's a large tower, maybe stone or steel, in which the participants take an elevator either to the stadium to spectate or to the battle arena (maybe different floors for each?), which is large and open to the sky, containing the synthetic clouds closer to the battlefield than ever before, allowing for a true 'in the clouds' feeling. Aerial battles have the advantage there; clouds could provide cover for flying foes, or be used for a sneak attack. Circling the battle field are the stands, and the whole thing is probably roofless (that's how I picture it anyhow).

I had it in the back of my mind to get Joey's sprite to you, but I think you found it easier than I would have. Glad to see you found it.

I have to double check, but I think the prelim was Joey's first win... Mindblowing.

And of course Claw's recent evolution screwed him out of some leveled techniques. *shakes head* Ah well.

Rental Pokemon kind of excite me. I can't wait to see what's in store there.

Yikes... I hate it when that happens. Sorry, dude.

Also, quick rules question: if Adelaide was to rent a Remoraid and level up her Mantyke using the (hypothetical) levels accrued from the contest, would that allow Mantyke to evolve into a Mantine? Or would that not be kosher?

I figure that since it's a "Level up w/" style evolution, it would work in the same way as a Happiness or Level up w/ item evolution. If that's the case, you'd just have to request it in the main thread.

Here's the rub, though. In regards to rental pokemon, I've been doing it by RNG. Wah wah.

I would say, very cryptically of course, to please wait until the next leg of the rp gets underway.

Posted by: colourcodedchaos Jun 4 2013, 11:59 AM

I know that you've been doing it via RNG; it was mere theorymonning on my part.

I enjoyed my brief foray into Ham-To-Ham Combat, but what did you expect from a talented young supervillainess?

Seriously, Adelaide's backstory is weird.

As for the other battle threads, I've been reading through them and loving how everyone plays. I'm also genuinely dreading the next round; Adelaide's battle style tends towards the efficient, since she doesn't actually enjoy it much and just wants it over with as quickly as possible, but I'm not sure that her team has the raw power to make it work.

Posted by: Kamaitachi Jun 24 2013, 04:24 PM

As far as I know, everyone has a prelim against an NPC, then a First Round against another player character. We haven't yet progressed to the next round.

The only person who hasn't had a prelim yet is Sebastian West, who's about to be disqualified.

Posted by: Aura Dynasty Jun 24 2013, 05:33 PM

Well, unless he suddenly gets online right about now I wouldn't bargain for it. Hunter isn't even replying my Pm's considering our current Rp, so I think he's still having a tough time with RL.. Not that long ago he had the same thing going on.

Ah well, such things happen from time to time, no?

Posted by: colourcodedchaos Jun 25 2013, 03:49 AM

But I thought Branwys -had- progressed to her second round match... of course, if she hasn't, then mea culpa.

Posted by: Master Houndoom Jun 25 2013, 07:04 AM

Branwys is currently battling Darryn in her First Round match. She won her prelim.

I have a strong feeling that Cesc's cheer for Branwys and Dimo should have rhymed, on account of it did in my head.

How much is left of the main RP for this guys? Because I was thinking of maybe joining in (mostly because I want to get RPing and as of yet nobody has an RP set where Zack lives or wants to join in with the one I set up), but if there's hardly any time left, there's probably no point.

Posted by: Kamaitachi Jul 11 2013, 12:51 PM

That is correct. All the battles are nearly finished, and yours never even began. As soon as Liz vs Jill and Darryn vs Branwys wraps up, I'll be moving us to the next stage of the Mass Rp.

I'd love to come and have a look but, yeah, Jill's kind of in the middle of a fight :p

Posted by: Douken Sota Jul 30 2013, 04:18 PM

If Seican was paying attention to the matches: "WHAT!" Are you kidding me? I get the guy who lost because he didn't even show up?! How the hell do you get rep if your victory was because of showing up and standing around?!"

Posted by: Aura Dynasty Aug 5 2013, 01:41 PM

Okay, Kamai, I'll turn to you because you are the one in charge of this event.

The battle between me and Dragonwish had indeed been too inactive for a long time, so I've decided to spill the plans we'd decided for. I was supposed to lose this match, making DW2 the winner.

So instead of delaying you guys any further, close our thread with these results, unless you want to see the results differently.

Posted by: Kamaitachi Aug 5 2013, 02:09 PM

As much as this pains me, I'm going to declare Jill the winner, since Dragonwish has been less active than you. I think rewarding activity is the much more fair choice, honestly.

So, First Round is Concluded!

Let the Second Round Madness begin!

Posted by: Douken Sota Aug 5 2013, 11:02 PM

Interesting design for the fields... i am guessing you rolled a 1d8 for each set with them already preset, then a 1d3 for the battle style?

Posted by: Kamaitachi Aug 5 2013, 11:13 PM

Posted by: colourcodedchaos Sep 16 2013, 04:20 PM

On a more serious note, let's have a look at what TD are doing here.

1) Going through the systems to subtly change what's going on and further their goals.

Adelaide lived and breathed computers back home, and by the standards of her reality the computer network in Furoh is up there with ancient Inca message-runners in terms of sophistication. She could probably break into the hardware of a nuclear missile silo (were there to be any in the Pokemon world) with one of those digital clocks that runs off a potato. You know, the ones you give that cousin you don't know very well for Christmas. Coding is always a bit tricky, but as has been seen in canon appearances, she can remotely hack pretty much anything via her cybereye as long as it's got an internet connection or a connection to something that does.

2) Scrambling the teams of the trainers while they're in storage.

You may or may not be aware that Adelaide's personal morality forbids the use of Pokeballs save in the direst and most necessary of circumstances. She keeps a few on hand, but they're a formality reserved only for when someone in her party has to visit the Pokemon Centre after being jumped on by, well, pretty much anything you'd care to mention, they're NFEs, she's only won by and fighting one guy who threw the fight from the off and another who was just incompetent (Messrs. Smart and Serroc respectively). Not only will she be entirely unaffected by this development, she'll probably make sure it's dealt with as soon as possible. Science and technology is, after all, something of a wheelhouse for the itinerant Professional Scientist (Mad).

3) Fighting Legendaries.

There's a little local custom in Furoh that the trainer doesn't get involved with a Pokemon battle, because it's just not sporting. There is a little local custom in the Amazonian rainforest wherein teenage boys are force-fed hallucinogens and have their arm jammed into a tube full of bullet ants, because that's how you become a man. Adelaide views them with equal respect, i.e.: go along with it for the time being, but when the chips are down ignore it completely. This is where Stompy Geoff comes in. Stompy Geoff, for those among you fortunate enough to not have read my battle with Yzarc, is a three-and-a-bit-ton mechanical suit in roughly the shape of Regigigas made out of scrap metal in about ten minutes and held together with bits of string and the magic of friendship. Stompy Geoff WILL feature heavily in proceedings; not necessarily with anything approaching actual competence, mark you, but heavily. Stompy Geoff does everything heavily, you see. It's probably something to do with weighing just over three tons. And Adelaide being Adelaide, she'll probably wind up fighting Raikou.

In short:

I suggest pulling up the Pokedex of choice you use, and write down the movesets of your rental Pokemon for the duration of this Mass RP. Any Ability is fine.

Posted by: colourcodedchaos Sep 16 2013, 08:25 PM

I thought about it, and the answer I came up with was that she'd had to register them via Pokeball at the beginning of the competition. It's the balls that have been scrambled, not the mons' data itself, so other people have her Pokemon rather than their own. Were it not for a fact that she can do something to help, Adelaide would be in a corner crying violently into her own forearms, but that's the price one pays for being a professional Mad Scientist.

Would having the ability of psychic communication still apply to those eligible?

Posted by: Kamaitachi Sep 17 2013, 02:53 AM

If your character already has shown aptitude to receiving telepathic communications then sure. In Douken's case, due to his history with Reep, I'd say it's totally cool.

I think everyone is wrapping up stuff in their own threads before we all regroup in the main thread. Ideally, there should only be one active thread as soon as everyone is done. If you want to move on over there, that's fine. I suppose posting in other battle threads is OK as long as those in that thread are OK with it.

I'd be more than happy to take that awesome Salamence off your hands :P

I would like to note that, with two exceptions, all of Branwys' pokemon are bigger than she is. >.>

Posted by: colourcodedchaos Sep 18 2013, 04:05 AM

Hey, MH, here's an idea: why don't you have her brand spanking new Cranidos be my one?

Posted by: Master Houndoom Sep 18 2013, 01:37 PM

I like that. Can you give me specs? I'll modify my post if I need to, since I'm just describing the new pokemon right now.

Posted by: colourcodedchaos Sep 18 2013, 03:46 PM

Shiny Cranidos
Ability: Mold Breaker
Egg Move: Iron Head.

Posted by: Douken Sota Sep 18 2013, 11:19 PM

hey CCC, if you want already owned Pokemon being apart of the roster, want Rufus (Douken's Growlithe)?

Same to Tk about Koldo (Douken's Tokicroak).

Posted by: colourcodedchaos Sep 19 2013, 06:50 AM

That might actually be cool. I'll have to edit some stuff, because I sincerely doubt that Rufus has Wild Charge, but I need to edit some other things anyway so 's'all good. =]

Posted by: LittleShadowPokemon Sep 19 2013, 07:49 AM

Man, I have a lot to catch up on. I'll be doing that right now. *scurries*

Posted by: Douken Sota Sep 19 2013, 10:14 AM

Rufus has Intimidate and Morning Sun. He is also an ex-police dog with a case of ADD, so he normally needs to get directed on tasks or else he will space out (the police training helps somewhat on his focus).

Adelaide's Wooper and Darius' terrifying Cherrim are my new favourites!

Posted by: colourcodedchaos Sep 20 2013, 12:45 PM

That's probably a result of me taking something Douken said to heart. Abilities really ought to affect the Pokemon's character more than I've been saying they do in my RPs, so I've been trying to adjust that a lot more - especially with the new Wooper, who is just sort of generally adorable because of his Unaware nature. Tynamo's kind of easy to write, he's basically Luffy from early One Piece but with lightning powers and a mild inferiority complex; Mantine's the same, with her being the straight woman to Tynamo's silliness, as is Roxy. And Joltik, who is the fuzziest, is deeply sarcastic and slightly mean-spirited, kind of the Proud Warrior Race Girl trope (which will become more apparent upon her evolution to Galvantula).

Oh, MH, if you're reading this: Roxy can talk, and is in fact pretty damn smart. That's what you get from hanging around a mad scientist for a while, I guess. =]

Sorry I haven't been around Yzarc, will try to get myself in gear and we can all finish this RP in style. happy.gif

EDIT: OMG I have Quagsire <3

Posted by: colourcodedchaos Sep 21 2013, 06:41 PM

Still not as adorable as Wooper. =]

@ CCC: I believe Raikou is a few floors below where Adelaide is, if I read your post correctly. I tried to think of a way for him to make a detour up there, but I couldn't think of a good reason for him to do so. You might just have to wait for the rest of the yellow group to get set up before a Raikou encounter.

On a side note, the place is currently swarming with TD and those disguised as search and rescue. She's more likely to run into them than anything else.

Posted by: Aura Dynasty Sep 22 2013, 07:46 AM

Mega Stones, eh? Didn't see that one coming at all. The possibility of being able to mega-evolve pokémon as soon as X and Y come out is very promising indeed!

Anyway, supposing that the attacks and/or roars of Raikou and Entei are being heard/felt, can I use them in my next post? Something like feeling light tremors, considering the fact they're very deep inside the facility, or faintly hearing their roars is what I had in mind.

It's also the cries and attacks of many more pokemon, which means that's a possibility. I think we're going to give people a chance to recover at the pokemon center before delving deeper into the facility however.

On Mega Evolution: That was just a pun on when the games release. We still don't have a final decision on how it will play out in the RP. If it gives pokemon legendary power, it might be given as a contest prize. At the very least, you would make a evo request just like with the other stone evolutions.

Alright I'll see what I'm going to do in my post then, thanks for clearing that out. I'm actually even thinking about giving her a split personality when this Rp reaches its climax, it'll fit in with my history and the personality too.

And yes, I did smile when reading that part. The fact that you say it might be possible is already enough to anticipate for it, isn't it? And I guess since it's an item that should be obtained, giving them as a price during contests is indeed a good idea! Well, we'll see how you guys work that out. happy.gif

The mistake is mine; I misread a bunch of other posts and thought that the LDs had joined their respective fields. I'll correct it tomorrow, when I can brain.

EDIT: This has been fixed. Again, apologies for the error.

Posted by: Toogee Sep 29 2013, 09:02 PM

OK, so most everyone is heading for the pokemon center. The place will be packed with panicked people demanding answers as to what happened. The computers will not be able to connect to the box system as all communications are down. Most everyone will be sitting outside, as there is barely any room inside the center itself.

Sounds like a fun place to hang out? Great! Have your characters meet over there and mingle for a bit. I can have a post up shortly to get the teams together wink.gif.

Posted by: Douken Sota Sep 29 2013, 11:31 PM

So we got a huge collection of trainers wondering whre their Pokemon are, and with that huge collection i am sure some will be findig who is theirs in the first place? What is the trading machine's condition and stopping us from using the time to recollect our team?

Posted by: Master Houndoom Sep 30 2013, 01:23 AM

With all the connections being down, that would include the trading machine, which will keep the computer (and devices) from connecting to the central database which sorts all this out. No pulling from boxes, no accessing their information, and no trading.

That's my theory, anyway.

Posted by: Kamaitachi Oct 1 2013, 01:15 AM

I'm assuming that most of the Pokemon will be back in their pokeballs for healing; all of the trainers with all six of their temporary Pokemon out would be just utmost chaos. Given that most of the trainers don't realize that they have someone's Pokemon on their team, it makes sense that, for instance, Branwys would go running up to Adelaide going "I HAVE YOUR SHINY CRANIDOS", considering they've never met. (Yes, I know Roxy would most likely not be in her pokeball.)

Also, to limit confusion, please continue to only control the Pokemon in your trainer's current roster. Using the same example, CCC shouldn't roleplay Roxy, but rather MH should. I think this will help simplify this section of chaos before we split into threads.

I noticed that Shadowfication was mentioned. To what level will the RPers be able to interact with that? Will Shadow Pokemon be observed? Fought? Captured? Owned Pokemon transformed?

Not necessarily in this RP; if it gets to the point where characters have to fight TD members, it's not unreasonable to assume that they carry shadow pokemon on them.

In any case, I'm pretty sure you can do all of that in your own RP wink.gif.

Posted by: colourcodedchaos Oct 28 2013, 08:14 PM

When she remembers this - which she likely will, despite her best efforts - Adelaide will swear up and down that she's not interested in Cesc in the slightest and this was all the result of massive head trauma.

Posted by: LittleShadowPokemon Oct 29 2013, 08:04 AM

In regards to that post, I'm suddenly more interested in what Team Erection is up to.

Posted by: Kamaitachi Oct 29 2013, 02:36 PM

Pun intended?

Posted by: LittleShadowPokemon Oct 30 2013, 12:26 PM

It wasn't at the time, but now it is. xD

Btw, Joey is in place for the group split. Am I right?

Posted by: Kamaitachi Oct 30 2013, 12:38 PM

Yes; I'm about to get everyone rolling over to the main action pretty soon.

Posted by: Kamaitachi Oct 31 2013, 11:40 PM

BLAH POST IS A BLAH BLAH POST POST.

I've gently/not-so-gently moved us over to the last bit of the main thread. Feel free to react and stuff. Once we've sufficiently mingled and gotten our bearings, I'll split the thread into the four groups.

Good luck everyone.

*Evil laugh*

I mean.

I assume we wait for a description of the tunnel before posting in the catastrophe threads?

Posted by: Kamaitachi Nov 13 2013, 05:15 PM

That would probably be for the best. We've got a different mod heading up each thread, so it'll be best to see what mayhem lovely setting they've prepared for you.

Posted by: free oatmeal Nov 14 2013, 03:28 AM

Herp, derp. School sucks, don't include me. Just assume Hunter fell off a cliff.

Posted by: colourcodedchaos Nov 22 2013, 02:56 PM

Just a quick FYI for Living Arrow: I'm not having a dig at you or how you play your character. My character is just short-tempered and she cares rather a lot about planning.

Posted by: Douken Sota Nov 22 2013, 04:37 PM

Well, it wasclear she has a fear of Ghost types, seeing how she reacted against Reep

Posted by: Living Arrow Nov 23 2013, 03:51 AM

@CCC - No worries happy.gif Lori isn't the most prepared trainer ever and she's a rookie compared to nearly everybody else so she's going to be like that ;p I didn't think you were being mean etc - I recognise that the Doctor can be anal at times and it fit her perfectly grin.gif

I don't think the Doctor saw that, so she'd have no frame of reference for Lori's fear.
