				Welcome pdragon! Glad to have our fourth!<br><br>I'm still reading the Core Rulebook. Hopefully won't be too long, as I'm only going to get character creation and basic rules looked over before we look at getting things underway.<br><br>It might be worth suggesting to me in the meanwhile basic character concepts, starter Pokémon, etc. You can come from any region (and may need to, if your starters are diverse), but you will begin in the same place as I need you to (which will be determined by the story I'm working through).<br><br>As mentioned before, I will be posting my expectations and rulings on things like controlling Pokémon, Disobedience, etc. before we get character creation underway, just to save us all time in case anything I put forwards is a deal breaker for anyone.

				I'm thinking that my character will be my Angry Boi Elias; he's a big (I mean BIG), grumpy misanthrope who's been put through the wringer a few times, and largely keeps to himself. His arc through the game will be learning to actually open up and rely on people a bit. Whilst he's almost permanently angry, he does have a softer side and has what you could call a "Heart Of Gold." It's always in the right place, and he's far more altruistic and generous than you might otherwise expect. His biggest passion in life is definitely cooking, though! His starter would be a male Rockruff named Fenrir ^o^

				Glad to be here&nbsp; :-)<br><br>For my character I was thinking of a mature housewife: Holly. Back when she was younger she set out on her own adventure to become a pokemon trainer. However early on in her travels she met her soon-to-be husband, and she ended up getting pregnant with their son soon after that. Unfortunately she had to give up being a trainer in order to settle down and start a family, though she still managed to find happiness as a stay at home mom, even if it wasn't her original plan for life. 18 years later her son has moved out (perhaps on his own adventure) and her husband works overseas in a different region, leaving her alone with a whole lot of time on her hands. It's then that her old passion for pokemon training sparks back up, realizing that she now had time to go out on that grand adventure she missed out on so long ago. It was, after all, her childhood dream, something she gave up for the sake of her family. Perhaps she really could become a good trainer, maybe even a champion...well, at the very least it beat sitting at home bored all day, everyone needs a hobby right?<br><br>I figured it'd be a fun twist to let the Poke-mom get to be the one who goes on the adventure for once. For her starter I was thinking that her original partner, who had effectively become the family pet since they settled down, is a bit too old and tired to go out on such an adventure, and so Holly decides to take one of it's children along instead. So I think some kind of youthful/baby pokemon would be a good fit, maybe a Munchlax, a Cleffa, a Mareep, or a Teddiursa or maybe something more atypical like a Slowpoke or a Spheal. I figured despite being older the combo of a young, inexperienced pokemon and almost 20 years of rustiness would put her right back at the level of a newbie. <br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">image ideas</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://i.imgur.com/lOkrGtS.jpg)(https://i.imgur.com/yfVdWYh.jpg)(https://i.imgur.com/vKObkmU.jpg)(https://i.imgur.com/QW9zBUu.jpg)(https://i.imgur.com/G78BF5d.jpg)(https://i.imgur.com/MeoI9FE.jpg)(https://i.imgur.com/x5Yc2TB.jpg)(https://i.imgur.com/CF2WsxJ.jpg)(https://i.imgur.com/WsMnqhN.jpg)(https://i.imgur.com/a7Y40tp.jpg)</div></div>

				Okay, so I've had the chance to look through the rulebook more fully. Below are my current thoughts for the campaign; give the notes a read through and then let me know whether you're still interested, or if you'd rather bow out now. Once I have a final tally of players, we can move onto character creation.<br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>The game will take place across all of the different regions of the Pokémon world, but the current region starting point has not been decided by myself. I'll think on this more as I finish off my story notes.</li><li>I am undecided at this time whether the game will consider the computer games as canon, or the television show; I'd like to hear player preferences on this.</li><li>Whilst Pokémon Trainers normally begin their adventures around the age of eleven, this will obviously not be the case with your own characters (we need to adhere to E's rules). You're free to explain why your Trainer is older - maybe they just haven't had a chance to get a Pokémon before, or hadn't applied for a Trainer's License until now (or maybe they have, but they haven't been very active).</li><li>The game will be 90% story and no more than 10% smut. Whilst I want players to be able to engage in some primal activities if the story permits, this will not be a game where I highlight the sexual attributes of everyone you meet, nor will it be one where I seize upon every opportunity to solicit the characters; instead, smut will arise if the story or character relationships permit, and that's all. Also, please keep in mind that this game is located in the "Light: Humans" category.</li><li>Whilst it's based on a show or game that's often light-hearted, this game may contain some darker themes and elements - this will not be common place, but should be expected. After all, if I wanted to keep the game kid-friendly, I wouldn't be running it on E!</li><li>I WILL be using Disobedience for Pokémon in this game, but your starter Pokémon will not begin with any points in it. Disobedience will be somewhat rare - normally your Pokémon's Happiness and Loyalty will determine their stance with you - but sometimes you'll have one Pokémon who will be problematic, which should provide your character with ample story drive to try and work around the problems with that very Pokémon.</li><li>Players WILL be allowed to RP their Pokémon - HOWEVER, the player MUST portray their Pokémon accurately according to the Pokémon's Happiness rating, Loyalty rating, Disobedience rating, and Nature. If I do not think that a player is doing this for any reason, then I will take control of their Pokémon for the duration of the game (which is the default stance in the rulebook - however, I'm willing to let players RP their Pokémon themselves provided they respect the stats of the creature in question).</li><li>As mentioned in the rulebook, Happiness, Loyalty, and Disobedience cannot be raised with experience points - they need to be increased through RP. Please keep in mind that these values will raise SLOWLY, and can drop RAPIDLY if you don't treat your Pokémon well! Gaining and keeping Pokémon loyal and happy requires time and effort - as it should be.</li><li>Unless it has a specific ruling for it that I've yet to find, a new Pokémon's Nature will be determined by the GM. The exception to this is starter Pokémon: I leave the decision as to that Pokémon's Nature up to each player.</li><li>Starter Pokémon can be chosen from any in the rulebook that have the Starter Pokémon icon in their entry - however, I reserve the right to veto a starter choice if a) everyone else has chosen the same, and/or b) the Pokémon would be hard to find given the storyline I have in mind. I don't expect either of these two limitations to be an issue, but I'll be upfront with the possibility that they could be now, to save argument.</li><li>Only the Pokémon contained in the rulebook can be used or encountered - no "Fakemon," as you guys have referred to them!</li><li>I know some people who know the games and shows inside-out might disagree with some of the stats in the rulebook - however, we will be using the stats and rules as they appear in the PDF, both in respect to the fans who designed it, and in order to save me from having to try and tweak stats and rules in a system that I'm BARELY familiar with. Please feel free to vent that stats don't match what you think they should, but don't expect that doing so will result in me changing what's written in the rulebook - it'll just be a waste of everyone's time. ;)</li><li>I love Pokémon, having grown up with the show and the games; however, this is my first time running or using this system, so bear with me if I forget a rule, or have misread one: the core rulebook is a hefty tome, and I'm only human. Correct me nicely and respectfully where errors are made, or face my wrath - I'm here to enjoy myself, as you all are, and not to be made to feel stupid or contested at every turn. (I don't think people here would need to be told this, but I state it anyway to be upfront and clear about my expectations.)</li><li>As is standard in my games, all dice rolls must be sent to me directly using my dice roller ID (which is in my signature); if I don't receive the rolls directly, they don't count.</li></ul>Now, provided the above hasn't scared you off, feel free to post me any questions you might have and I'll answer them as best I can.<br><br>When those who remain are ready, feel free to Private Message me your answers to the eight questions on Page 18 of the PDF - do not send me stats yet! I want to get a more thorough look at your character ideas first. Then, once that's done, you can stat up your Trainer and send their information to me for approval. Then - and only then - will we work on getting your starter Pokémon created.

				Quuuuuuestion! Whilst I'm not happy with the Disobedience rules, that isn't a dealbreaker for me, so I'll deal with it. And some of the pokemon stats are horribly unbalanced, but again, I'll deal :P That's true of the games, too, so I can't exactly fault the creators for that xD<br><br>No, the question is in regards to RPing our pokemon. Is it "one mistake and you're stripped of your right for the whole game," or is it "three strikes and you're out?" Is there a way to "re-earn" that privilege if it gets taken away from you, or is it a case of "once it's taken away, it's gone forever no matter what?"

				Another question! It doesn't specifically <em>say</em> in the rulebook, so I was wondering if it would be possible for our characters to have more than one Nature?

Chespin's entry: "Such a thick shell of wood covers its head and back that even a direct hit from a truck wouldn't faze it." and in the manga, they had a Chespin tank an attack from an opponent to its helmet and caused the opponent to get a headache) and I also like the anime's method of combining moves together for a stronger combo move. I think in an RP, we should gravitate more towards that level of creativity more than the game's turn-based method.<br><br>I'm actually on a Pokemon RP website that uses that method as well.

Characters can act any way they choose, and can demonstrate a wealth of attitudes and possible attitudes, but at their heart and very core they'll mean towards one of those Natures, when push comes to shove, which is what the one you choose represents. So they won't be "one thing all of the time": they'll be real people who can act and behave a multitude of different ways, but with a Nature that dictates how they'll act when instinct takes over, or when driven by their heart rather than reason.<br><br><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=317851.msg15326270#msg15326270">Quote from: Vergil Tanner on 22-03-2020, 05:54:01</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Also, for me personally, I've always loved the battle style in the Manga (Pokemon Adventures) where they also incorporate a Pokemon's Dex information into battles and use it creatively to win battles (ex.

				Thanks for sending over the stats, guys! I'll need to read through the book to get up some examples of what the attributes and skills do just in case people want to move points around somewhat before we begin, but everything looks good at the moment.

				Starting on page 23, there's a list of the various Attributes, Derived Attributes, Skills, and Specialties that give a rough idea of what they represent. When a situation calls for a roll, I'll likely find a pairing that best represents what's being attempted based on these write ups. Each sounds internally vague, which is probably to be expected given how few there are for each, but entirely workable.

Back when she was younger she set out on her own adventure to become a pokemon trainer. However early on in her travels she met her soon-to-be husband, and she ended up getting pregnant with their son soon after that. Unfortunately she had to give up being a trainer in order to settle down and start a family, though she still managed to find happiness as a stay at home mom, even if it wasn't her original plan for life. 18 years later her son has moved out (perhaps on his own adventure) and her husband works overseas in a different region, leaving her alone with a whole lot of time on her hands. It's then that her old passion for pokemon training sparks back up, realizing that she now had time to go out on that grand adventure she missed out on so long ago. It was, after all, her childhood dream, something she gave up for the sake of her family. Perhaps she really could become a good trainer, maybe even a champion...well, at the very least it beat sitting at home bored all day, everyone needs a hobby right?<br><br>I figured it'd be a fun twist to let the Poke-mom get to be the one who goes on the adventure for once. For her starter I was thinking that her original partner, who had effectively become the family pet since they settled down, is a bit too old and tired to go out on such an adventure, and so Holly decides to take one of it's children along instead. So I think some kind of youthful/baby pokemon would be a good fit, maybe a Munchlax, a Cleffa, a Mareep, or a Teddiursa or maybe something more atypical like a Slowpoke or a Spheal. I figured despite being older the combo of a young, inexperienced pokemon and almost 20 years of rustiness would put her right back at the level of a newbie. <br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">image ideas</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://i.imgur.com/lOkrGtS.jpg)(https://i.imgur.com/yfVdWYh.jpg)(https://i.imgur.com/vKObkmU.jpg)(https://i.imgur.com/QW9zBUu.jpg)(https://i.imgur.com/G78BF5d.jpg)(https://i.imgur.com/MeoI9FE.jpg)(https://i.imgur.com/x5Yc2TB.jpg)(https://i.imgur.com/CF2WsxJ.jpg)(https://i.imgur.com/WsMnqhN.jpg)(https://i.imgur.com/a7Y40tp.jpg)</div></div></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br>BTW I love this idea, I can't wait to see you play her!<br><br>

				Thanks to lux89, the Pokémon character sheet is added to the trainer one, and the code changed to match! Please update your own sheets to match!<br><br>Whenever you add a new Pokémon to your active team, copy the code from the Pokéball separator downwards and add it to the bottom of your current sheet.

				From what I can see in the above, you don't get to choose additional Abilities - if you have more than one, you need to let the GM know which you intend on using for the "session" (the length of which I'd need to determine throughout, which can vary depending on content of scenes).

				Sorry for the delay guys. I've not been feeling great today and yesterday, and I've not been online as much as planned. Will try to get caught up tomorrow but, failing that, I'll do so as quickly as I can.

				Don't ENCOURAGE her, everyone quickly form a shaming circle! Just kidding, like Vergil said, take the time you need! ;D<br>It has been <em>a weird year</em> thus far, so it's perfectly understandable. Just got over funky feelings myself.

				Hey everyone,<br><br>I'm really sorry to have to do this, but I'm going to be cutting back on my games on this, and other, websites. I hadn't intended to do so, but between some RL issues, my increased work load (as I'm one of the few people who can now work from home), and my general mental health I'm finding myself less and less motivated to write - and given that writing is my means of escape in most instances, I can't afford to lose this avenue of self-relief.<br><br>At this time, I will only be keeping a single game going - that of Kingdom Hearts, which has been going for over a year, is in Big Group status, and in which the work-load is shared with my fellow GM. To everyone else participating in all of my other games, I apologise, and thank you for the amount of work you've put into things so far.<br><br>Again, I'm sorry and hope you can understand my reasons for cutting back, at least in part. Hopefully I'll have the chance to RP with all of you again in the future - either as a GM (should I ever find the time and energy to return to running more than one game), or as a fellow player.<br><br>Please don't hesitate to message me if you need more information, and I'll answer what I can - or just message me if you'd like to keep in touch. You're all wonderful.
