Nate's Pokemon RPG

[Nate]

hokai. so thought of this idea yesterday, and i've decided to implement it and see how it fares on this forum. Im kind of basing some of the ideas of it off of Joe/Aegis/Shiruks old pokemon RPG, so consider this my citing of you.

Anyway, heres the basics.

The RPG occurs in Johto, a few years after the original johto games. once we finish johto we may go to Kanto/Hoenn/sinnoh maybe, if this is that big of a hit.

I think one of the things that the other pokemon rpg was lacking that im going to try to fix is having a Dungen Master type person. A person who controlls everything. like a god that rewards good players and smites bad ones. I mean, Aegis and joe and shiruk tried their best to be impartial and fair, but some of their rules were very vague(sorry guys, please don't kill me now).

To fix this problem, im going to be the said God/Dungeon Master/Whatever you call it. However, im going to implement myself into the game as an impartial character that helps/hurts the other players. As such, i will not be participating in the regular storyline of our rpg.

Setup

please give me-
Name: What you want to be called in game
Age:
Gender:
Pokemon Starter:(Any starter the games or any other three stage pokemon)
Personality:
Appearance: may be either an avatar or a description

HAVE FUN.

ZOMG i forgot something.

Battle system-

Heres how the battle system will work

4 wins against a wild pokemon levels up
2 wins against a trainers pokemon levels up
1 win against a gym leader's pokemon levels up(early on.)

Later it will probably change to

8 wins agains wild pokemon levels up
4 four wins against trainers levels up
3 wins against a gym leader levels up

Please sign up, or give your feedback on what you think of the rpg.

we'll get started as soon as i determine we have enough players to have fun.

**NOTA BENE**
I will not tell you the attacks/levels of gym leaders until you are about to go battle them. please contact me by pm so that i can tell you about it.

Battles can be conducted either over pm/im/msn/in the topic if you wish, just be realistic and fair.

Now let me think of a profile lol

[Nate]

kk, now aegis and me are Admins, we shall share our profiles in secret away from everyone else because we are like GODS.

Okay, sure. Can I put the image in my post, or do I make it my avatar?

[Nate]

post it and we will use it throughout the rpg.


Oh, and for starters i can make like thumbnail avatars for you if you want. And on the shiny thing, yes, one shiny only, and you can pick what shiny pokemon you wish to have..... kind of.

In your citation the names were in the wrong order. I always am credited first, noob =P

[Nate]

Alright, as we have five players now i believe that we can start..... i'll make a new topic, just start whenever you would wish.

And for now, Aegis and I will act as the gym leaders when you get to them, so when you battle them, you will be battling us using the leaders pokemon.

Joe, if you really want eevee i will allow you to take it because it can technically be a three stage pokemon, and has been a starter for a character.

[Rekky]

Perhaps you could explain the Battle System. You only showed the leveling system. I'd also recommend experience.

Eg;
Wild Pokemon Lvl 1
6 exp

Wild Pokemon Lvl 2
12 exp (6x2)

Wild Pokemon Lvl 3
24 exp (12x2)

Wild Pokemon Lvl 6 (after a few x2)
480 (96x5/2)

Then trained Pokemon and Gym Pokemon can have higher exp given when defeated than the wild Pokemon. As for the battling system, limit a skill to (this many) damage, effect, duration of effect and limit the number of skills.

[Nate]

uhh, i was more referring to the style used on the TV show, where it doesn't really have an exact science.... but your way is ok.... the leveling system was by experience. as in you kill 4 wild pokemon you level up, you defeat 2 trainers pokemons and you level up.... etc.

Suggestions for a more mathematical battle system are welcome.

[LORD INTERNET DOT COM]

I prefer the abstract and funnier version. It also means less bookmaking for us >_>

[Rekky]

Whatever. I'll need to watch a few episodes now.

[Mega ToaX]

My extended package was cut off. I can't watch pokemon because of cox.

[LORD INTERNET DOT COM]

...Because of what?

[Nate]

Cox. its a cable tv service.... lol i know. the only pokemon i can watch is on youtube and the new crap they show on saturday mornings...... oh well. i can always hope that they show first season episodes on Cartoon network again......

[LORD INTERNET DOT COM]

I watched up to Johto whatevers and then grew out of the cartoon lol. I still shout Gotta Catch 'Em All when someone mentions pokemon at school (which is shockingly often, half the conversations at school are us being nostalgic over pokemon and the other half are the same but about teenage mutant hero turtles).

[Nate]

ours are similar, but we somehow turn pokemon into a very adult/mature/uhh innapropriate to post on the forum topics.......

Yeah, i watched till the end of johto and then just grew out of it. now i watch it for the lols when it comes on to see how noobish the show has become.... And howcome Ash's pikachu isn't like Level 100???

But i digress.

BATTLE SYSTEM WILL REMAIN THE SAME FOR NOW.

[Rekky]

So we battle until a skill is attacked so much or so powerful that the poor Pokemon faints? Sounds good.

[Nate]

Yep, sounds like the plan. for now.

[Masterweaver]

Out of curiosity, does anybody ever role=play as the pokemon?

[Mega ToaX]

Du u play mystery dungeon, Masterweaver?

[Nate]

Not in this rpg, nope.
you are the trainer.

[Masterweaver]

What about a trainer who is a pokemon?

[Monasti]

Trainer>pokemon. Question answered.

[Nate]

yes, what monasti said.

WE ARE NOT DOIING MYSTERY DUNGEON STUFF HERE.

so if you want to play, please be a human character.
