The Pokemon in this RP are more self-reliant and independent than the lovable oaf type Pokemon you usually see. HMs and TMs aren't necessary because the Pokemon have those abilities inherently or they can be acquired by simply raising the Pokemon.<br/><br/>In this RP, the more a Pokemon hones its attack skills, the more developed those attack skills become.<br/><br/>A Fire Pokemon may start out with Ember, which is a somewhat weak Fire attack skill. By mastering Ember and using it in battle enough, that Pokemon's fire abilities will develop naturally and they will learn abilities such as Flamethrower, which is essentially a more advanced form of Ember. Some Pokemon may hone their skills to such a degree that their Flamethrower improves further and they learn Fire Blast, an immensely strong and "advanced" version of the Pokemon's initial Fire attack skill.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=137448.msg6148092#msg6148092">Quote from: Ember Star on 16-04-2012, 22:48:27</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Okay. Thanks! A few more quick questions that'll help me write my starter post. <br/>One: Amy will have to go through Ilex forest to get to Goldenrod. In the game there's wild Pokemon encounters all throughout the forest. Will that be the case here? Not planing to have an encounter right off the bat, but I thought I'd mention rather or not they might be there in my post. <br/>Two: Is that stupid tree you have to cut down still there? If so, how would I cut it if my Pokemon doesn't know Cut?<br/>Three: Is the man who teaches Headbutt still there?<br/>Four: Is the Daycare Center still on Route 34?<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>1. Amy is thankfully armed with a bike so she can ride through the forest rather quickly and avoid too many scuffles, but you know, sometimes a GM will intervene and you'll get assaulted by a rabid Ditto or something. Since Amy is a resident of Azalea Town, it's safe to assume she knows Ilex Forest like the back of her hand and she can traverse through it safely and swiftly.<br/><br/>2. Refer to Pokemon info section.<br/><br/>3. Nope, he's long gone.<br/><br/>4. Yes, and they've expanded their business. The Pokemon Daycare is a successful business operation now and is run by two Brothers, which are the sons of the elderly man and woman who established the Pokemon Daycare.<br/><br/>P.S. any word on your friend's CS?<br/><br/>----------<br/><br/>Get those IC posts up soon everyone, I'd like to get this up and running quickly.
