Pokémon Academy: Ymora Region [OOC / Registrations Closed]

Recommended Posts

I think the elephant in the room we need to address is the Pokemon battles. The Player vs Player battles have been a hassle and ended up creating this situation. First off, I don't think doing another tournament is a good idea, but if it has to be done, I'd say skip as many battles as possible and allow people to draft up an outcome of the battle instead of having everyone do every battle. Being able to end a battle at any time would pick them up faster and prevent us from getting caught up in too many of these messes.

As for the whole players in and out, the answer is in itself. Obviously there's going to be an abduction, but remember that Kenny being killed is going to be revealed sooner or later. This will make the school feel unsafe for a lot of people and either they or their parents will force them to withdrawal. Nothing too serious has happened to make the school have to close down, but there will be plenty of tension going around. If anyone wants to drop back in, the school will allow them back otherwise, we'll assume they've been moved out.

That's pretty much all my thoughts up til now. I'm really busy, but I'll get to posting Thursday night (or maybe tonight).

I'm not really sure what to do about Kenny getting killed to be quite honest. For now he'll be assumed to be missing (parents notified, letters sent home to all students), but missing persons aren't usually noticed for a day or so.

The chapter title no longer really applies. There will not be any students abducted in this chapter, as we have few enough as is xD

Two things:

One, I'm not sure why every host here seems to be kill-happy. If you don't want your character dead, he/she will not die in this. Period. It's meant to be a fun roleplay, not super dark.

Two, once Murdoc posts that Kage is in position to battle I'll be writing up the next post. This will trigger plot events. If you want to be involved, make sure your character is in one of the two places mentioned (the academic building or the Arena).

That's it for housekeeping.

Sorry about the wait! This week was pretty hectic thanks to work starting and family things for the 4th of July. A post should be up by tomorrow night.

Yay triple post!

You guys should notice that I've put a huge wall of text in the IC. This is the start of a pretty major event. It's my first one, so here's to that.

Anyone in the audience should make their way to Waiting Room B. As long as you post that you're on the way, I'll make sure you encounter both friend and foe.

Murdoc, you should know what to do.

Anyone who I potentially missed, or was not in the Arena, get there. As punishment you have an encounter on the way that I'll be writing.

Just for your information, average grunt Pokemon level is 28.

Also, I'll be waiting on a couple more replies before I react to anyone's post.

EDIT: Wow, that blew up fast. Glad to see so many people are still paying attention! The people involved in this will find themselves with a level advantage over those who weren't. I'll have time to post a big update later.

Just a little note, Arcturus kinda knows what's going on due to a shaky connection with Claude and Douxs mind. Only really enough to know that the enemy were down the tunnel. I wouldn't and will not pull the same cliched pokeball breakout with anyone else. It was just useful to force Claude to go with.

That being said, everyone has posted at this point. When I get back from work later I'll be making a pretty large update.

Double post again :D

Alrighty guys, this is where it gets fun.

People in Waiting Room B, you get to pick a slot in the horseshoe. Lana will go left of Claude wherever he ends up. There should be 3 of you on one side of Tyron and 3 on the other. You'll each fight 4 grunts.

People converging from the exterior, you can just jump in wherever. Each of you will fight 5 grunts.

Expect a lot of your attacks to hit. This is going to be back-and-forth between me and each of you fighting, so bear with the potentially-slow pacing.

Grunts will have a random selection of 2 of these Pokemon each:

Klink

Klang

Magnemite

Magneton

Voltorb

Electrode

Porygon

Elgyem

Aron

Lairon

Mawile

Beldum

Metang

Eelektrik

Stunfisk

well, if I didn't know any better, I'd say we seem to have ourselves the classic situation of the Rare candy/using an AR cheat for instant level ups versus actual honest training and grinding for EVs with these villains..(if this was like the games, that is. seems to be same basic concept though)

What?

Anyway,

@ExLink You were absolutely right. I forgot your Frogadier had Protean. You can post as though the Headbutt attack had no effect.

Ok, I've edited, again tell me if something is not acceptable.

Livin' is why it's been quiet. Summer lives take up time

Recently I dislocated my shoulder pretty badly. Like "needs surgery" badly. I started physical therapy last week but I can't really sit around and type since it's pretty painful. That's why I've kinda dropped off the face of the earth and stopped going on my PC altogether. But recently I discovered this new game called Outside and it's awesome. The graphics are amazing and the companions you can acquire are super interesting and fun to be around.

The MMO RPG "Outside", huh?

I see what you did there man. XD

Anyways, hope you get better soon bro. A shoulder injury that requires surgery probably hurts like a bitch...then again, so would any injury of that degree

EDIT: Jory, I'm curious, what's your current character class and level?

Ok, so seeing as the pause that ~was~ from Jorys absence has evolved into a stagnation risen from Jorys leaving announcement, I'm going to declare here that this particular chapter is defunct. Calling the date and time of death as it were.

I would ask that the thread stay unlocked though in case a revive is a possibility pending our other Co-hosts.

I'm sorry to everyone who stuck along so far with their characters and being patient. I'm hoping this post gives you all a small bit of closure and clears up any sadly hopeful confusion.
