Roll to be a Pokemon Master!
« on: February 04, 2012, 12:34:25 am »

This is roll to be a pokemon master.

This is gonna be pretty canon, I mean, I won't be listing a hundred things about what items there are or whatnot.  If you've played pokemon, you'll know.  For that matter, I won't be giving you a list of info about all the pokemon... you can use serebii for that.  Finally, think TV show pokemon and not game pokemon ->  in the show I saw, I think it was that deus ex mac-> I mean adorable Pikachu use "agility" to run around a dude until he got confused and fell down.  I'm not quite as pleasable as a lil 7  year old, but you get the idea.  For  that matter you get to keep all your moves that I let your pokemon have, not just 4.

Two last things:
-You are a trainer starting your jouney right from your mom's house (no starting pokemon) and going to professor.... Palm's house.  Then, you're like leaving home for awhile to battle for justice, honor, and a freaking amazing excuse to not be in school.  This will be a fairly linear journey, the emphasis being on the daily tongue and cheek pokemon tropes and, of course, the trope of all pokemaniacal tropes, battling!  This world will not  be one of those given out in the games so you'll learn about it as you go but it will have 8 badges and team... NAZI doing evil things followed up with beating all ?5? of the elite four... all pokemon will be canon though.
-I'll only be taking 3 to 6 of you, so join quick!  To join, give a name, 3 special training techniques you use, and something specific your mom is known for.  These will be all the bonuses you'll get as a trainer, the rest will come from your pokemon themselves, most naturally.  Good Luck, Trainer!

Nah, I'd recommend waiting for more. 4 max if this is your first game. 6 if you're feeling self-sure.

I'll do art once it gets going, like with everything else.

Doesn't work, these forums don't have a roll tag.

What you want is this: http://www.wizards.com/dnd/dice/dice.htm

-Roll 1d6 or whatever you want.
-Use the abbr tag or whatever else you want to show the result: [5] Result (Rolled a 5)

'Course with Dwarf Fortress, the only relevant question is, "How far away will the ASCII gibs splash on landing?"
5 squares per limb, if you raise the north orthoclase bridge before sacrificing one of them so they have a straight shot to the bottom of the chasm.

Also, are we choosing from standard starter Pokemon here, or are we going for something different? Also, how are you with new Pokemon, such as variants on evee?

I'll just leave this link here.
