The purpose of this thread is more or less to serve as a referrance for an RPG I hope will become amazing. It will be a lot of repetitive-ness of the rules and whatnot, but will also provide information for all classifications, such as trainer, breeder, coordinator, Team Rocket, and whatnot. It will also include a section about wild Pokemon and how they'll be caught. Members of this RP please read all of this, those who aren't, go to Sign-Ups and join, late ones are always welcome pending approval.
Classification Descriptions
Pokemon Trainer: Likely the most standard and understood of all of the "classes", Pokemon trainers are those who catch and well...train Pokemon to beat the eight Kanto Gym Leaders and become a legend by hitting it big in the Pokemon League. Pokemon trainers start with $10,000 (if you have the alt-code for money in PKMN god tell me), and ten Pokeballs.
Pokemon Coordinator: Coordinators specialize in a certain type of training, making their Pokemon appear and act either tough, beautiful, cute, smart, or cool. Their dream in life is to more or less compete in as many contests as possible and gain a massive display of Ribbons to be known by all. They start with $15,000 and two Pokeballs.
Pokemon Breeders: The name says it all, they breed their Pokemon, not using them in battles or competitions, at least not ever in the Anime. A new feature included in this RPG will be Breeder Tournaments, in which you should refer below. They are amazing Egg Hatchers and Pokesitters, and are often kind and outgoing. They start with $10,000 and five Pokeballs.
Team Rocket: Team Rocket members are nefarious and mysterious, sometimes even devious! They specialize in stealing Pokemon and their goal in life, or at least most of their's, is to impress their boss in which some of the members don't even know his name. Rocket members are different from other classifications, as they get a salary as opposed to payment, and salary is effected by rank. They start with five Pokeballs and the salary chart is as follows: Grunt/$500 per day, Operative/$1500 per day, Executive/$3500 per day, Administrator/$7500 per day, Elite/$15,000 per day. A grunt starts with $3000
Gym Trainers: Gym Trainers are the aspiring Leaders of the future, taking tutilage under a certain Gym Leader which matches their type specifications and learning the ways of the Gym Leader. Gym Trainers often switch from staying in the Gym and training the Pokemon they have, to venturing out to catch others. Sometimes, a generous Leader would reward a promising Gym Trainer with a Pokemon. If Gym Trainers are present at a Gym, they must be beaten to get to the Gym Leader. They are provided all the necessities, such as housing and food, so they have no need for money, and can acquire Pokeballs by asking their Gym Officials.
Gym Leaders: It is the Gym Leaders duty to test the current level of capability of a trainer, who is no doubt, seeking a journey to the Pokemon League. They bare an amazing responsibility on their back, but most manage to have fun while doing it. They are paid a salary of $100,000 a month by League Officials, which must be factioned out to the Gym Officials salary, food, and bills *shudder*. Gym Leaders always have a type-theme, as well as a themed Gym, which is completely up to the player. Leaders are allowed to venture near their gym to catch new Pokemon, but they must not journey far unless on Official League business.
Pokemon Rangers: The Pokemon Humane Society! They usually have fairly tough nature-like Pokemon and hardly will have a team of six. Their purpose is to assure that all wild Pokemon are not being mistreated by Humans or other Pokemon, keeping a balanced state. Some also go on to start Pokemon Reserves, like the Safari Zone, though this is much later in their lives. They tend to be hermits and move frequently. They recieve $15,000 a week from League Officials and start off with 10 Super Potions.
Team Valor: Team Valor members serve to counteract Team Rocket, much like Aqua did Magma and vice versa. However, they do not wish for world distruction but more world peace, protecting humans, Pokemon, and habitats (but only from Team Rocket, they could care less about freelancers.) Their Pokemon tend to be more of the graceful and loyal type as opposed to Dark or Poison. They recieve the same salary as Rocket members for their different ranks and start off with five Pokeballs. Team Valor Recruits start with $3000.
Monotype Specialist: Pretty self-explanitory. A Monotype Specialist is a trainer that specializes in using one type of Pokemon (IE: Misty and Water Types). This does not necessarily mean they want to begin their own gym later in life, just that they have a certain liking towards a single type of Pokemon. They are able to compete in Pokemon Battles, Special Tournaments (NEW!), and Contests. They MUST only have one type of Pokemon on their team. They begin with $8,000 and five Pokeballs.
Pokemon Maniac: Pokemon Maniacs tend to be older then trainers, but are almost exactly alike them in every way. The only difference is...they love rare Pokemon. They are the ONLY class that can start with a much more rare Pokemon then listed in the Starting Pokemon classification, and tend to catch Pokemon much more scarcely then normal trainers, always wanting rare and exotic types. Due to the rarity of "rare" Pokemon early in their journey, they likely go through at least four gyms before they catch their second. They start with $10,000 and 10 Pokeballs.
Battles/Contests/Tournaments, etc.
In this section you will find referrances to how certain functions will be roleplayed, and certain rules. A rule for all battles: NO AUTO-HITTING. Auto-Hitting is stating something like, "Cyndaquil use flamethower, wow, you one hit KO'd it!" Everything must be stated in variables, such as, "Cyndaquil use flamethrower!" The small fire Pokemon rears it's head and blasts a stream of flame at it's opponent's torso. See? I didn't say it hit, I said where it was aimed. The best way to describe this is to act as if the word ATTEMPT were in everything you commanded.
Pokemon Battles: A standard battle between Pokemon Trainers. They will declare the rules beforehand, as to how many Pokemon will overall be used, double or single battle, and any other specialities they wish. Battling will be somewhat like PASBL, with a health and energy factor. Some moves take much more energy then others, like Hyper Beam in comparison to Astonish; use your common sense. This is a happy roleplay, so there's no death, ever. After battles, the loser may choose to award the winner with Money or items, or exchange PokeNav Match Call numbers as to keep in touch; though it is solely up to the trainers.
Pokemon Contests: (Slightly edited since FlamingRuby's was more or less in list format). Pokemon Contests take place as stated. The first step is registration, in which a trainer must register the Pokemon they are using and which type of contest they'd like to register for. You may only register for one type of contest at a time. The types include Beauty, Tough, Cool, Cute, and Smart; and certain Pokemon do better in one contest then another. The first part to a Contest is the Trainer's Parade, in which every trainer will walk around the stage/arena with their Pokemon at their side, in which the audience will vote on which was their favorite. Next comes appeals, in which a Pokemon will perform certain tricks incorporated with their natural techniques to impress a panel of five judges, who's scores are somewhat affected by the crowd's reactions. Once a trainer collects a minimum of twenty-five ribbons by winning five at each contest hall, one in each category, they are eligable to compete in the Grand Festival which comes shortly after the Pokemon League at the Indigo Plateau.
Breeding Tournaments: Breeding Tournaments is a new feature solely created by me, at least I think so. Breeders will bring ONE Pokemon to the tournament with them, which will take place in a multitude of competitions. The first is an exercise routine, where the Pokemon must run on a treadmill, determining how healthy it has been raised. The second is Pokemon Battle which will last five turns, determining how well the Pokemon has been raised. Winning the battle is not always good. The third is a talent contest, a Breeder's Pokemon may have any talent from playing the flute to dancing to singing *though it will not lull the crowd to sleep*. This round will be judged by the audience. The final round is a runway contest, more or less the Breeders can dress and make-up their Pokemon to walk down a runway, or let their natural beauty work it's might. This is a test of grace as well as beauty. I will ALWAYS serve as the Judge for a Breeder Tournament, and they will be held on the third of every month. Those who wish to enter must PM me as if they were sending a letter to a Breeder Tournament Official.
Gym Leader/Trainer Matches: As previously stated Pokemon Trainers must defeat Gym Trainers before challenging the Gym Leaders. PM a Gym Leader BEFORE you enter their Gym to get details as to it's tricks or what it looks like, Koga for instance, WILL have invisible walls, and Sabrina, my character, won't have teleporters, but her Gym won't even have a door. If you do not PM a Gym Leader before entering their Gym, you will be rejected and ignored by the Leader and Gym Trainers until you have done so. Gym Leaders can reward anything from money, to a Pokemon Egg if they like you enough, to advice. However, should you win, they will ALWAYS provide you with a Badge.
Special Tournaments: A Special Tournament building exists in every town that has a gym (IE: Pewter, Cerulean, Vermillion, Celadon, etc.). These competitions happen once every three days in these towns, and every day is a different type tournament, testing the wits of the trainers whilst battling Pokemon of the same type as theirs. Trainers who acquire a sprite (explained later) in every one of these buildings are eligable for the Monotype League. Sprites are much like Gym Badges, they just display the type in which you are. Once eight are acquired, as mentioned, Monotype Trainers are eligable for the Monotype League.
Pokemon League: I would like to hold a Pokemon League once we get enough members who've won all eight badges. The Pokemon League will be held at the Indigo Plateau, as always, and will likely have 16-32 people competing in an elimination tournament. As we get more, and as people near having eight badges, I will further the details. Until then, just get people to join the RPG
.
Monotype League: This is where all Monotype Trainers come to battle. It is one week before the Pokemon League starts and is likewise, held at the Indigo Plateau. Trainers must have extreme confidence in their Pokemon, as ALL Monotype Trainers will be here, making it possible for a Grass Monotype Trainer to go up against a Fire Monotype Trainer. The winner of the Monotype League IS GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO OPEN A GYM SHOULD THEY WANT. Further details will be mentioned upon the happening of this event.
Wild Pokemon
Wild Pokemon runs on two factors. The rarity of the Pokemon you wish to catch, and the likeliness of it being in the area you're currently in. You MUST PM me before catching a Pokemon, stating where you are to catch it and of course, what Pokemon it is. If you're approved, THEN you roleplay catching it (naturally, you'll have to battle it). If you're rejected, I'll tell you why. Simple as that, no? I'm sure I'm going to get a multitude of questions about this.
Surfing, Flying
Whee, controversial subjects. I'll start with flying, as it includes less elaboration. Only Pokemon with wings large enough to carry someone can fly, and it's only short distances. You can't very well ride on a Charizard from Lavendar Town to Pallet Town, simple as that. Also, Dodrio and Doduo CANNOT fly.
Surfing takes a bit more explination. Any water type Pokemon can surf, however, their size is a factor. We'll pit a surfing Lapras against a surfing Staryu. You can ride on the back of the Lapras, as it is large enough to carry someone, however, unless you're in a wetsuit and prepared to get soaked you cannot stay on a Staryu without being in the water. You can, however, rent a canoe or raft and have rope the Staryu to pull you across water. Pokemon such as Linoone who are a normal type but can learn surf in the games CANNOT surf, it is limited solely to water Pokemon.
I'll add more soon, until then, feel free to discuss and ask questions.
