Pokémon Academy: Ymora Region [OOC / Registrations Closed]

[Commander]

And Robert just hit a very, very bad note with Citrine. Anyways, Henry's pretty much going to be done with my next update so I'll likely have him leave Phoebe's room, but I'm willing to keep updating Citrine especially after that.

Huh, that was... Surprising. So much for the attempted compliment. 😅

To ask or not to ask, I'll be interested to see what Robert chooses.

Was planning to go with not ask, but... Hmm, I think I'll just have Robert be polite, atleast while they're still with Evan's siblings. Edited April 29, 2015 by TurboAura

[Commander]

Now that I think back to it, Raiza is the only one there that probably knew about the rib thing beforehand. Kind of hard figuring out what Citrine would say there considering her personality and being terrible at keeping secrets.

By the way, I'm finalizing one of Henry's reserves as Salamence regardless of how many people pick it (even if 8 or 9 of you do) because I feel it'd work so well with Henry's character. So right now I have Glalie, Blastoise, and Salamence, but I'm not sure about the fourth spot. I'm now leaning more towards Sawsbuck, but Lilligant is still plausible.

[Azeria]

Shade the Dusknoir

Tytaniel the Ferrothorn

Lumiere the Chandelure

Liona the Dragonite

Leviathan the Gyarados

Vale the Sableye

Damocles the Aegislash

Reflegus the Gardevoir or Adrian the Liepard

Duster the Toxicroak

Angie the Froslass

Well there we go with the team,Duster and Leviathan make for a cool rain combo while the rest of the team would work fine. I'm just iffy on having Gardevoir for the added Psychic&Fairy typing and even more offense(James has a shiton of bulky mons already...Dusknoir,Ferrothorn,Dragonite I guess,Aegislash.....)or my preffered choice mah bae Liepard who adds a really fast mon that's both very supportive and good offensively.

For Henry,Salamence is kind of an Ironic choice because the very same species(Well a Bagon but same evo tree)was the ones who hospitalized Rosie and pretty much made Henry go to Ymora without her.

Wait, what? so that's what happened? when was that revealed? damn, must've missed it I guess (probably during one of henry's interactions with Raiza or whatever)

Anyways, Mareek's team is pretty much finalized aside from who gets the Fire Type Slot... hard to find something I actually like that can't mega evolve... though arcanine and houndoom are the biggest contenders alongside Delphox.

Basically by the time it's complete, his team will function mainly off of having four permanent members representing the four elements, with Nemo (for the element of Earth, IE, a groud type) being the lead of them. The other two slots will be filled with 2 steel types at any given time... Java will be more behind the scenes then actively accompanying him, and Erce may be the same way after a while... though i'm not sure for her yet, maybe if she gains confidence in Nemo's abilities once he's fully grown or something...

But seriously though, where/when did commander have the salamence thing revealed though? XD

ah lols... i should start reading things more often.

[Azeria]

IIRC a Bagon beat Rosie&Presumably Zuko in a Finals battle in some tournament in Orre and after the battle the Bagon attacked Henry and Rosie. It's trainer got arrested afterward but it's one of the main reasons why Henry didnt have Rosie at the begining of the year. It's in his Character Post. (Page 8 or 9)

The only Permanent member of James's team would be Shade and either Leviathan or Vale. If I didnt go with Leviathan I might have gotten a Slowking instead but Gyarados is Bae. Also,Infernape's a thing yo......

[Felicity]

Fire types?

Torkoal

[Sutoratosu]

already got a fighting type, so infernape really doesn't bring too much to the table for me.

And I considered Torkoal some time back, played around with the idea of a Shell Smash+ Amnesia core (I was gonna even name it car wreck, but decided against it since I thought that would be a bit tasteless...) though perhaps I could also do something like how I had Lisa fight against James with her own during the preliminary matches... hell though, I can't even remember if I gave that thing any supports XD

Eh, I guess i might take a second look at em. But I'd honestly prefer something a bit bigger... though I could just do the same thing I'm planning to do with Icarus and have it be a bit larger than the average size of it's species (IE, i intend for the Altaria to be as tall as mareek standing up basically...) seeing as people have had Runts here before and whatnot...

EDIT: also, just out of curiosity, what's an acceptable way to use the ability shell armor in this setting? since crits are based more on skill and finding the weak spot and what not here than on luck, I figure it would probably be something like an enhanced defense because there are no weak points exposed or whatever, but...(I'm honestly going to go with White Smoke, but just for curiosities sake...)

[Chevaleresse]

Man... I really want a TTar for Kage (fits his theme in multiple ways) but a crapton of people plan on one already and it'd be a second pseudo, which starts to smell like powerplay...

[Azeria]

Eh,It depends on how it's encountered,If it starts at a really low level compared to your other mons it'd be fine but if it's like around the same level with really good moveset that's powerplaying. James has a secondary powerhouse in Leviathan so I wouldnt go with another pseudo besides perhaps Metagross.

[Felicity]

The big issue wth Pseudos is A: The danger they pose and B: Their final potential. Even if it was caught at a low level that wouldn't change how, later on to be genuine team members, there would be two absolute powerhouses.

I actually kind of forget what exactly I have and haven't posted in that info page (I know there's plenty of stuff I haven't put in their). I tend to update it as more of Henry's info is revealed. But yeah, that's all past and correct info with only a couple pieces missing.

The big issue wth Pseudos is A: The danger they pose and B: Their final potential. Even if it was caught at a low level that wouldn't change how, later on to be genuine team members, there would be two absolute powerhouses.

I generally agree with this, but more of A than anything. There are only seven pseudos so let's try to keep it to a minimum, but Megas are about the same level which also helps even that powerhouse thing out. I'm only picking up Salamence because I unfortunately picked Bagon for the incident (this was basically laid out one week after we started RPing this) so I can't change that. It's not even because it's a pseudo either, but more based on Bagon's Pokedex entry as well.

I think it'd be okay for people to have a second pseudo, but on these conditions:

1) The player is not allowed to have a Mega Pokemon in choosing this

2) The said Pseudo will have a large impact on the player or will be rarely used

3) The player's character must prove they are responsible enough to handle two hard to control Pokemon (Basically, you can't have two pseudos in Year 1)

Edit: Dobby, I like your new pick. It reminds me that I still need to play Persona 3 though.

[Felicity]

At the very least, no extra pseudo until year 2. Not likely to get another trip to boulder hills again any time soon and that's the only place to get the Pseudos. Aside from maybe beldum, cuz beldum.

That said, plenty of time to consider if it's worth it or even allowed. No rush.

And thanks, hard to find a decent one of JunBro

[Chevaleresse]

To explain, though:

First off, I wanted "tough" Pokemon for Kage: lots of mineral types, Dragon, Fighting, that sort of thing. Second is that sort of type distribution leans to a sand team. I'm also just not a big fan of Hippowdon, idk why.

[Sutoratosu]

you could always go for the Haxorus line/ Druddigon in terms of more dragons. Or use Blaziken/ Chestnaught/ etc. or just evolve the ralts to Gallade in the future for fighting types.

For minerals you could use things like steelix or aggron or golem, etc... the list could go on and on, and you could run sandstorm as a support move on just about any Steel/Rock/Ground type, so...

or you could just run it on Reina alternatively.

And i have decided that the slot will go to Infernape for the fire element on Mareek's team. I saw something recently that made me feel a bit more respect for it. That and Altaria can honestly do torkoal's job as a defensive powerhouse just as well after a single cotton guard, so...don't really need him. so now that the team is finalized for the final time, His next two catches for year one will likely be a Chimchar/ Monferno and a Swablu... a big, gloriously shiny swablu... ((because, hey, who doesn't want to ride golden dragons across the sky?)) and Nemo's gonna have himself a good ole time later on...

I don't ever recall Chim saying Boulder Hills was the only place to get one, but iirc they are very rare and hard to find in the forest. Don't actually know though.

Tough is a very vague word because it can mean both in terms of personality and genetics. Faust gave a lot of good examples, but an unusual one would be Wigglytuff. Even in PMD they made Wigglytuff a freaking boss.

I've actually been rethinking my reserves to the point where I had five choices and decided to drop Glalie. He didn't really add much and I feel Rotom can fill the hail spot if needed. While these other four have some stories to tell or I generally like the ideas behind them.

Blastoise, Salamence, Gardevoir, Sawsbuck

Gardevoir might seem a bit random, but she's probably the best thing to replace Lilligant with if not a better option. Gardevoir and Salamence won't be used in battles too often so anyone who uses them or wants to use them are safe. I think this is official because I'm very satisfied with these four choices and have little doubts, unlike the earlier ones.

[Chevaleresse]

I was actually going to make the T-Tar a sort of gentle giant-type mon, being the only real levelheaded and calm one in the whole ensemble. That role will have to go somewhere else, though, just thinking what Pokemon. . . if only Terrakion was a normal poke and not a legendary.

[Azeria]

YUSSSSSSSS,VICTORY!

In regards to a next catch,James won't get anything for a chapter or 2 since He'll need to train up Lumiere and Leviathan but I'm thinking of going with Croagunk or either Purrloin or a Kirlia.

Also,riding Golden Dragons is nothing like skating on a hoverboard Aegislash.....

[Zephyrus the Priestess]

All right, I don't know how to put this... But I'm kinda fading in terms of interest and ideas right now, so I think I might drop this RP. Don't get me wrong, I had tons of fun and all and really looked forward to the Henry and Raiza ship happening roleplaying here with you guys though, but I just can't... Rack my brains for anything or find it in me to make something up or to get creative. >< Boss Chim, Mom Sub-Boss Dobby and Sub-Boss Jory can do whatever they want with Raiza if they'd like... Maybe she could be forced to go home or something or get sent to a more Breeder-centric school... Or kill her or something, whichever's more fun.

NOOOOOOOOS! Zephyr! ;-;

Well, it's been good then... I have to admit though, I'm honestly gonna miss Raiza as a character. Just when it looked like Mareek might have had a second person he might've been able to legitimately call a friend, too...ah well. still, it's your decision to make if you can't spark any interest for it anymore.

but don't be a stranger though, ya hear? It's been fun.

[Chim]

I don't ever recall Chim saying Boulder Hills was the only place to get one, but iirc they are very rare and hard to find in the forest. Don't actually know though.

I might have said it was the only place to get one in the first year. Safari Park is another option to get them but they aren't in the forest.

Nooo I hope it isn't because I haven't been able to update and keep everyone busy... Because I lacked in that area. Anyway I'll keep Raiza alive in case you want to come back.

His next two catches for year one will likely be a Chimchar/ Monferno and a Swablu...

I read that as 'Chimchain / Monferno' xD And to answer your Shell Armor question: Crits are up to the players. I remember Jory doing it when he caught his Seviper.

Also since Zephyr dropped the RP, I might change T-tar to Hydreigon. It will be Evan's gift to join RoG permanently. (If he ends up there but right now that's the most logical outcome) I can always try to fit sandstorm on other Pokémon or go with Hippowdon.

Oh my goshhhhh nooo :c

What are we gonna do about the battle now?

[Azeria]

Shade and Lucifer's rivalry go bye bye :C

Hopefully you can find something that gets you to stay but it's understandable if you can't. 'ts been fun.
