Sutoratosu Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Jory, man, you gotta give me five for that burrrrrrn! with Alvin though lols XD IT seems mama Sisto has some plans for the boy... and apparently Daddy Sisto had some sort of colorful past. It's a loooong-ass letter too, by the way... Basically I'm setting up for some foreshadowing with what will happen with Java, backstory, and getting Nemo's replacement all at once (It's a ditto by the way...that thing in the capsule... a cognitively-trained ditto) as well as shedding just a bit of light on the father and his history... Ah...damn. Like I've said, boredom is a great motivator to the creative processes... this paternal family history is friggin deep... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Support Squad Felicity Posted May 8, 2015 Support Squad Share Posted May 8, 2015 So long as you don't keep pulling swaps like these Strat. It's one thing to swap around the future team and maybe the odd recent party member but I don't want you switching all these mons out again and again. It's unfair to the people who keep their old mons and so develop consistent strategies, something that switching an old member up prevents.

Veterans Azeria Posted May 8, 2015 Veterans Share Posted May 8, 2015 (edited) Man,you guys are dealing with the Burn stuff wrong man....Leave it to this guy: "Hah! I'm Blaine!

And the foreshadowing I have planned actually directly leads to what happens with Nemo in a way... Ah...damn. Like I've said, boredom is a great motivator to the creative processes... this paternal family history is friggin deep... No......NO......NEMO DIDNT DESERVE TO DIE THIS WAY........ Such crying yo.

It's unfair to the people who keep their old mons and so develop consistent strategies, something that switching an old member up prevents. You won't have to worry about that from me Dobbs, my general rule of thumb is that once a member joins, their set in stone and can't be removed... since swapping everything already done whenever a new idea strikes is cheating in my eyes; you can't go back and rewrite the past in real life as if it never happened, so why do it here? Nemo, however, is the only exception to my personal rule solely because of the sheer amount of development purposes behind it and the fact that I quite literally can't carry out anything I've already planned if he doesn't leave. His replacement though will be set in stone the moment it makes it onto the team. Plus chim said from the start that we can't go playing musical mons with already obtained party members way back when he answered one of bibs questions about team size or what not long, long ago. and as for the planned team, at this point I finally know exactly what I want to do with mareek from this point forward, so it's pretty much done from this point onward. That and the fact I've gone ahead and decided it's purpose won't be competitive battling but instead practicality has made it a hell of a lot easier. Every Member on the planned roster now has a reason for being there. The Gothitelle is more just a hint at what I mean with the foreshadowing have a direct effect on Nemo... though (and no... sebastian will have nothing to do with it.) there won't ever actually be one involved with/ on the team. But yeah, basically all and all, I agree with you 100% and it won't be an issue since I think Mulligans with one's entire team are rather cheap in and of themselves And @ Azery, Nemo's not dying...

Commander Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Strat, I really hate to bring up arguements again, but I really am weary on Ditto due to it's Doppelganger fighting style. I'm not against someone having a Ditto as an extra or something, but when it comes to fighting, a shit ton of issues arise. The first issue of all issues it that Ditto can technically transform into any Pokemon freely which is god-modding no matter how you put it. Even sticking to the games allowing it to transform into the opponent, there's another huge issue within that. You'd basically be at the mercy of the opponent because you are technically using their Pokemon and their strategies. The other big thing is that Ditto is a very boring Pokemon to face. You already know what it's going to do because the opponent is often going to try the same thing or something similar dragging a battle out. If anything, it's more of a waste of time because one or the other is just barely going to end regardless meaning it's usually a draw. I'd rather just avoid Ditto altogether because of all the issues that arise, but it's really up to Dobby, Jory, and Chim whether or not they're okay with it and how it'd work.

Support Squad Felicity Posted May 9, 2015 Support Squad Share Posted May 9, 2015 Edit: And Dobbs, it's uncanny how well you're using the little shit, I'm finding I hate him more and more... XD Missed this before, but yes, I'm finding that aggravating characters are turning out to be my speciality.. As for the idea of a ditto, It was so far beneath my radar I personally never thought of it. But as Commander explained, there's a buttfuck ton of issues with it and I doub any of us really wanna work with that. Besides, Mareek already has a better version with Java/Juno, he can claim the type advantage without losing access to his own strategies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I really wasn't intending it to be used for battles much and even had several personal rules down to put restraints on it, but... I can see the issues you both raised. I'll go with something else. It honestly scares me a bit how I couldn't catch that myself though... I'm usually much better than that when it comes to such matters, especially regarding not letting myself... Seems I need to take a step back and wake myself the hell up here. Cause this type of thing on my part can't happen again, simply unacceptable... absolutely unacceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sutoratosu Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 I'm so tempted to throw in an appearance of the Arcana of Death, just as coup de grace for it all... but I think I've done enough with the fore shadowing on the matter. Now I just have to remember to get around to editing some of the narration and character POVs in the battle to make them better fit with the past events.

Ojama Yellow Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 You won't ever believe who will be joining up in this RP. me Yes, I know I have quitted RP'ing a few months back, but after reading a few RPs (including Ymora), I decided to get back into it. When I talked to Dobbs about that, he invited me to join Pokémon Academy. Chimchain and Jory have given me green light. So here I am, with a character. Both Chim and Dobbs have already approved this character, so a post is coming soon. Name: Marius Sawyer Age: 15 Birthday: 17 November Appearance: He wears gray and darker clothes, so that his red cape stands out more. His height is 65 inches, which doesn't make him tall, but not small either. He's more of the skinny side. Personality: A real fanatic when it comes to contests. He's pretty energetic and aimiable most of the time. He doesn't like puns, and you won't ever see him make one. There is never a way in between for Marius. It's always yes or no, true or false, correct or incorrect, good or bad. A little twist of him is that he never uses the contracted form of verbs. Program: Coordinator Pokémon: Marisa the Psyduck (level 24) Female Ability: Cloud Nine Damaging moves: Confusion, Water Pulse, Aqua Tail, Fury Swipes Support moves: Disable, Screech Gaspard the Masquerain (level 22) Male Ability: Intimidate Damaging moves: Quick Attack, Silver Wind, Air Cutter, Bubble Beam Support moves: Mist, Sweet Scent Adriana the Meditite (level 22) Female Ability: Pure Power Damaging moves: Psycho Cut, Force Palm, Confusion, Reversal Support moves: Meditate, Mind Reader Hometown: Verdanturf Town Background: As a boy that lived in Verdanturf Town, Marius has watched contests ever since he was three years old. In his youth, he was always more interested in becoming a Pokémon trainer than a coordinator, but that changed when he grew up. Due to being constantly exposed to contests, he decided to become a coordinator himself. His parents were against the idea, because they wanted their son to become a trainer like them. Marius refused to listen to them, which worried his parents. They gave him a Psyduck as his first Pokémon, hoping that their son could never become a top coordinator with an unpopular Pokémon like that. However, this plan backfired. Only a few days later, Marius signed up for a contest in Verdanturf Town, together with his new partner, Marisa the Psyduck. Unsurprising to everyone, he didn't even go on to the second round. His parents tried to convince him to give up on being a coordinator, but Marius' interest only grew. He started to dress differently. The red cape was the last straw for his parents: they gave in to their son's desire and immediately phoned to Ymora's Pokémon Academy, even though the famous Winter Cup had already started Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Funny thing is that even if they didn't, I'd probably talk them into letting you in anyways. It's been a while Bibs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you are able to do that. Anyway registrations are still closed. The only exceptions I make is when people want to return. And that's only if they showed some manners by letting me know instead of just vanishing into thin air. (That means Notus, Zephyr and Bfroger could also potentially return in the future if they want. Even though I haven't seen Bfroger online the last couple of weeks) And I might have some free time now. My problems are postponed so I could potentially update RoG and Evan. No guarantees since the source of my problems tends to say one thing and do the exact opposite a few hours later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a while indeed. Too long, if I'm honest. Great to be back, and even greater to be welcomed like this <3 Claude + Marius brotherhood agogo Dobby? Anyways,velkommen Bibs,we shall welcome you with cookies and green lights and many ribbons I guess. Pls no. Anyway, glad to be back! Cookies are cool, green lights too! Ribbons is what Marius will be getting soon enough! Like you are able to do that. Anyway registrations are still closed. The only exceptions I make is when people want to return.

No guarantees since the source of my problems tends to say one thing and do the exact opposite a few hours later. I want to thank you again for letting me back in, Chim. Of course, that goes for Dobbs and Jory too. maybe Dobbs even the most because if he didn't invite me I would have probably never rejoined Anyway, I'm happy that I've been given a second chance. Any similarities are actually purely coincidental. But bruh. I don't recall Claude having a cape? But really, Marius' backstory was already made before I looked at Claude's. besides Marius is 5 times more awesome he has a Psyduck and a Masquerain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commander Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Like you are able to do that. Two words: Klondike Bar And anyways, is there some kind of holdup for battles or something. Seems like it's been a while since we saw the last one with Jory and Exlink. I know there's the whole Zephyr thing, but somebody can just make something up or just say she was overwhelmed and forfeited the moment where the holdup began, right?
