The rest of the lower <br>class like you were left behind. In a farewell of compassion and mercy, <br>engineers designed one final shuttle for 4 winners of a virtual reality <br>Nintendo game. Prerequisites of sole survivors leaving on that shuttle <br>were strategy and sanity. The game chosen was the popular Japanese <br>franchise of Pokémon. And the shuttle is still there...<br><br>You enter this digital Pocket world on a meta odyssey, in hopes to escape <br>this planet and join the next. While immersed in this game, you find that <br>time is the least of your problems... Others -- real people -- battle you <br>for those four tickets, four life seats on that final shuttle. <br><br>Not only do you encounter your own conceited <strong>Rival</strong>, you encounter <br>the <strong>Wild MISSINGNO.</strong> glitch threatening to end the game. <br>This race to be one of the four ultimate survivors completing <br>the centennial exodus depends on wits, luck, and serious training. <br><br>While somewhat true to the original Kanto region, the Pocket World <br>is modeled after Neo Tokyo one hundred years before its destruction. <br>Mixed with bittersweet nostalgia and eye-opening discovery, this remix <br>includes all 18 Types and introduces the future-gen Pokémon to roots. <br><em>Not included: Mega evolutions, Dyanamaxing.</em> <br><br>The Routes, Gyms, Towns, and Cities transformed. The NPCs <br>and the mythic lives they lead dramatically changed. <br><br>After Prof. Samuel Oak's passing, granddaughter <strong>Prof. Daisy Oak</strong><br>replaced him at the Lab in what is now known as <strong>Pallet Bay</strong>. <br><br>Gary Oak famously known as <strong>Blue</strong>, self-named to spite his rival, <br>became one of the Elite Four, one of your mightiest opponents. <br><br><strong>Red</strong>, the legend himself, became the Champion and vanished.&nbsp; <br><br>Team Rocket returns, doubling trouble and more determined, <br>with <strong>Admins Jessie, James, and the psychotic Persian</strong>. <br>They report to the heir of Giovanni, the red-haired criminal <br>of many aliases, the one truly named <strong>Silver</strong> on the hunt <br>for Missingno. with every intent to wield it for dominion.</div></div><br><br>(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/4/45/5816.png.gif)<br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">GAME RULES &amp; FAQ</div><div class="spoiler_body">1.

				Hey there, everyone! Merry Christmas Eve!<br><br>Sorry for not responding earlier – I'm definitely open to a focus on the group with occasional side scenes, though I will say that Xavion isn't exactly the best at teamwork (though you could probably guess that from his profile). Looking forward to playing with you all!

				Sure, hand swipes or use of thought are enough to interact with the HUD, inventory included.<br>No starting equipment other than the PokéDex and the Town Map; you'll need to buy. <br>You each start with P$ 5,000 PokéCash!

				Also, you're totally allowed to meta-game when foraging stuff. For instance, if you meta-notice that one player finds an Item or a Pokémon you meta-want, you can recall playing this game on a handheld before. You can write "I recall the Cemetery has an Antidote, I must go there." or "I recall that NPC who I will meet has Pokémon with higher levels than mine, I'm not ready to go there yet." and the like. That would be interesting and convenient.

				Okay, I have some advice if you want help with pacing? If you don't write out that your character did things or interacted with NPCs or places, then nothing will happen. Writing conversation depends on another player to respond. So if you only write conversation without taking other actions, then your progress has stalled to a full stop. One player so far has not posted or responded to messages, so I am assuming they backed out. I will re-open interest check thread and look for another who will want to play!
