Um...Pokémon RP???

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Ohhh...

Well, that could work.

But, the rule change would probably turn folks off even more. Or who knows, maybe that's what expected from the get-go...

*Sigh* I just hope this isn't goodbye to my RP idea. I think it'll be good if I can ever get it up ad running.

[Philote]

Well not many have started yet so if you were going to change rules i think now would be best. Idk I'll join whenever you start it.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Well, I'll definitely give the rule change some thought. It would make the power scheme different, although not in a bad way. Yeah, I'll definitely give it some thought.

[Philote]

So, anyone getting the new Pokemon Black or White?

[jester_of_god]

I"m still undecided, they may have finally thrown off the Cute to cool ratio.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

I'm just really cheap. If I can't find the DS emulator online (which I haven't) and can't find the rom online eventually, then I'll likely not keep my eye out for it...

[Philote]

I got White, haven't had chance to play yet because I've been doing a mixture of HW and procrastination. I can't decided which starter i want either. I've ruled out the fire one but idk about the other two.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Decisions decisions...

[Philote]

You have a favorite yet lol

[jester_of_god]

go for leaf

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Meh...I'm not really a Pokefan anymore. I've kinda gotten over it with this fifth generation. Though I must say, I've seen some, and Braviary looks awesome...

[Celadon's Penultimate]

I refuse to let this RP die completely.

Shall be done, I'll resurrect it if it's the last thing I do!

(Though, um, hopefully it's not, lol)

[Philote]

I'll reiterate my suggestion since youre redoing rules, instead of a team of pokemon, the trainer gets the powers of a specific pokemon and learns more of that pokemons moves as the RP goes on.

Also should let 5th generation be used now its been out long enough

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Okay, okay. The 5th generation powers are up for grabs now. However, if that's the case, that means I want NO duplicate powers. (Unless they are NPCs)

In addition if you choose to have the powers of only one Pokemon, then the rest like, stay home or something? I'm trying to figure out a way to work out the theme of having more than one Pokemon? Maybe you only get the powers of the last Pokemon you touched before the comet passed over? Does that sound good? If so, then not everybody gets powers of course, but also doesn't prevent even little kids and old folks from getting powers...very cool, now I think of it.

[Zaleramancer]

So we..

Wha...

[Celadon's Penultimate]

What confuses you now?

[Zaleramancer]

So.. We get one pokemon now?

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Not sure. See, that's why we've opened it up for discussion...

[Zaleramancer]

Well, what confused people to begin with?

====The Rules====

For the simplistic translation please see the italicized  words.

I  Pokémon are powerless.
       
    A) Pokémon cannot use any of their moves or powers. Things like as telepathy, electrical generation and high pressure water blasts are impossible.    Pokémon no make things go boom now.

    B) However, abilities that are either wholly independent of those things or needed for their continued existence are kept.  Large Pokémon are still heavy and somewhat strong and Pokémon that use telekinesis to keep their bodies together retain that ability.     Big Pokémon still strong. Fast Pokémon still fast. Floaty Pokémon still floaty.

    C) You are not  allowed to have multiple versions of the same Pokémon.   No-No clones.

II The Pokémon can confer their unusable abilities to their trainer, for their usage.  Trainer make things go boooom now!
         
          A) Which ability and how it translates from trainer to Pokémon varies, according to both what the Pokémon is and his/her relationship with their trainer.   Fly Pokémon let you fly. Pokémon like you, you make more booms!

          B) Though you may only have a maximum of four (Confirmation needed) abilities at once, they can be taken from multiple Pokémon or from a single/few Pokémon.  More Pokémon, more dakka. Only four dakka max.

          C) A touch is required to switch out abilities with a Pokémon, though with especially good relationships with your Pokémon you can just think about which power you desire.   Poke Pokémon for powers!


III  Under no circumstances are you allowed to make use of or attempt to catch a Legendary Pokémon.   Shiny fancy legend is a No-No.



Legend:
+: its super effective
-: Doesn't do well against it
=: no effect

Please note that this is not an exhaustive list of rules.

Please also note that any rule-breakers that you will be given to a snorlax as a pillow for first time offenders, or a mattress for extreme offenses.

Don't know why. For some reason, this didn't come off as an attractive rule board thingy...
