Posted July 4, 2011 Excellent. I wanna find Rain Dance and teach it to just about everything I catch. x3 Oh, how I love the rain. Share this post Link to post
Posted July 4, 2011 Another question. Are there going to be HMs? I gotta know since normally in the game zigzagoon/linoone is one of my HM slaves, and I can't picture something the size of a raccoon taking Lurch across a lake. But I also picture him breaking boulders too. Share this post Link to post
Posted July 4, 2011 If there are HMs, I doubt HM slaves would be necessary, seeing as Ryu isn't running the 4-move cap. So you can teach it to just literally anything that can learn it, for convenience. Share this post Link to post

((It would be funny though.)) There's no 4 move limit? How many moves can we have? Share this post Link to post
Posted July 4, 2011 (edited) As many as you can remember, from what I can tell. And actually, Linoone reaches the height of a medium-large sized dog rather easily, as does Zigzagoon a smallish-medium... Instead of "carrying" a human, I'd imagine it swims while said person holds on. Edited July 4, 2011 by Jeimuzu Share this post Link to post

Posted July 5, 2011 There is a three wild pokemon battle cap for the day, correct? Can I look for a few more wild battles? (is trying to get Mareep to lvl 10 for thundershock) Share this post Link to post
Posted July 5, 2011 dragoon ~ Jeimuzu is right, we don't have the 4 move limit, so you can have any pokemon to learn the HMs, and yes, there will be them, in case its needed, i.e. for Flash, but Cut is something almost any pokemon with claws can do so it won't be a HM for that. Shijou-san ~ no, the limit is a 3 wild battle, not cap, which means, you can encounter 10 pokemons a day, but will only get to battle 3, wether you catch them or not doesn't influence the amount of battles, so, if you already have done 3 battles, you will have to tend the day... though, it will start untill day 3 and above, being you on your first day of the journey, you can have a couple more battles, don't worry Share this post Link to post
Posted July 5, 2011 Ok. Seeing a guy the size of Tiger Woods flopping around in the water just looks funny to me though. I got another question. Are we using the 4th gen+ version for the move types or not? For ex thunder punch in the old games was a special move, but now it's physical. I want to know what it's going to be.

Posted July 5, 2011 (edited) Sorry I haven't been that active lately. Things have been really busy for me in school. Dragoon-> Replied your pm. Ryu-> When's the tournament going to start? I feel as if I've registered too early and everybody's getting to battle, but not me. Edited July 5, 2011 by woshiico0kie Share this post Link to post
Posted July 5, 2011 dragoon ~ it will depend, thunder punch is clearly both, physical and special, but I don't see how that affects the gameplay woshiico0kie ~ it will start soon, I'm just waiting for Rainbow, monkeyboy, Leopardragon, HPfreak and Shijou to get to Pring Town and register to begin it, you can try to do something else in the mean time... Rainbow_Joy ~ it will, but not sure where yet Share this post Link to post
Posted July 5, 2011 dragoon ~ it will depend, thunder punch is clearly both, physical and special, but I don't see how that affects the gameplay Well, for ex, an Alakazam that has the three punches, thunder, ice, and fire, would be extremely powerful, but if it's a physical move then it would be fairly pathetic. I'm just thinking about damage calculations, but if that doesn't matter... ((Maybe I'm thinking too much.)) Share this post Link to post
Posted July 5, 2011 I'd say use the 4th Gen+. Mainly because it actually makes more sense; in the older generations, whether an attack was physical or special depended on the type. Many pokemon were made rather bad because of this. Banette was, and is, far greater at Attack than Sp. Attack, but Ghost moves were Special, and so completely nullified Banette's ability in battle, except for the few other non-ghost moves it learnt. And there were incredibly few. Also, in terms of teaching certain moves, without the 4-move limit, you don't need to concern yourself with what attack will do best - you can have them all. So Alakazam can have the punches without sacrificing his magnificent Special-based moves. Share this post Link to post

How are we to determine what type hidden power is? ((If I'm going overboard with all these questions tell me, and I'll stop.)) Share this post Link to post
Posted July 5, 2011 dragoon and Jeimuzu ~ Jeimuzu is right, it is the best way to think things, thanks for the help Shijou-san~ ok, will reply to you now dragoon ~ I'll randomize that... though stromezone began using it before I could think of a way to go around that -really confusing and hard- formula they had to calculate that... I'll tell you wich type of hidden power your pokemon has when you ask me and tell me wich pokemon it is Share this post Link to post
Posted July 5, 2011 (edited) Well, without IVs, we could always just randomise the Hidden Power type. EDIT - Ninja'd. Also, in terms of getting to Day 3, me and akiraa are maybe 1/4 of the way through a battle. CURSE THEE, TIME ZONE DIFFERENCES! Edited July 5, 2011 by Jeimuzu Share this post Link to post

I'll tell you wich type of hidden power your pokemon has when you ask me and tell me wich pokemon it is He used his as a secret power. Maybe I should get 100s of Unown just to be an arse. Hey Ryu? Serebii IV counter There was also a thing in one of the games where a guy just told you what the type for hidden power was. Edited July 5, 2011 by dragoon1234 Share this post Link to post
Posted July 5, 2011 yes, I read that when reading about the Hidden Power... but, well, it is not needed, we'll know whattype of Hidden Power it is 'cause I'll say it here, so there is no point on addin that. Maybe for the actual characters know that, but is not too important either Share this post Link to post

Posted July 5, 2011 sorry I'm not too bright I thought hidden power was just your pokemons type... Share this post Link to post
Posted July 5, 2011 (edited) Nah, its determined by IVs in a formula I don't know and can't really be bothered to learn. So, it can be any type. As long as the IVs apply. But we don't run IVs in this RP, which is a relief in many cases. EDIT - Ryu! 1. I'm going to apologise for mine and akiraa's battle, we need to come up with a quick conclusion. If, seeing as its a double battle, one pokemon on both sides fainted, and it concluded as an agreed draw, would the unfainted pokemon on both sides level up? I ask because I'd quite like Magikarp to level up whenever possible, so total loss wouldn't help so much. 2. Traded pokemon and pokemon holding the Lucky Egg gain bonus experience in-game. Could this be represented here? I'm thinking 1.5 levels instead of 1 for every "victory" rather than 2, which would prevent skyrocketing levels. So, for every two battles, a traded/lucky egg pokemon could level up three times, instead of two. Just wondering~. Edited July 6, 2011 by Jeimuzu Share this post Link to post
Posted July 6, 2011 Jeimuzu ~ well, for starters, double battles gives only 1 level up still. So they wouldn't win two level either. I guess the battle ending as a tie could be said that both gain exp, but only bacause it was akiraa's first battle, next time, the battle have to have a winner, or else, it won't raise anybody's pokemon's levels.

Posted July 6, 2011 Wait, in a double battle, only one participant on either side levels up? Share this post Link to post
