[OOC] Pokemon: New World

[Typical]

@LuckyBlackCat Yep that sounds like the plan.

@balthazar007 Since Shanae still possesses an evolution shard, I'm just going to "return" the item and refund her the TP points, if that's alright.

@silver fox @toadropes popping in to check if you're both still okay. Are you? Is life hitting hard, or is it a writer's block, or?

@Dusksong

Life's just been busy sorry xD

[Typical]

@Silver Fox Well glad to hear back from you! Hope it clears up soon :)

[ToadRopes]

@DusksongHad an essay that I just turned in this morning... generally when I'm not around that means I'm focusing all my writing energy towards getting papers done. Sorry about the silence! I'm a busy college boi.

[Typical]

Ahh @luckyblackcat sorry about the delay in posting! I'll get it up either tonight or tomorrow morning pst ^_^"

//edit: also, Leisy actually does have a pokemon she's yet to make progress with: her Ekans. It's still pretty feral and she has yet to use it in battle. (Nevermind if you already know this haha -- it's just that whenever one Ella gets depressed abt Leisy being perfect, i immediately go and reevaluate whether she's OP in my head, because she's not my OP character. I know that's not what you meant, but that's my thought process xD)

[LuckyBlackCat]

@Dusksong Argh, sorry I made you feel like that! I wasn't implying that, it's just part of Ella's characterisation. She tends to both admire and envy people, and when she looks up to someone/ compares herself to them, she doesn't really see their faults. It's the "compare and despair" mentality.

@Balthazar007 @Dusksong

Question about the calcs! For Pokémon that evolve via methods other than level up, such as with a Sun Stone, Dusk Stone, via trade, leveling up with a move, etc., how should I calculate them?

For example, Steenee, I assumed that because it learns Stomp at Lv. 29, that would typically be the level it would evolve into Tsareena, so I inserted that value into the level calc (though I assume Steenee wouldn't be able to evolve to Tsareena despite having the move Stomp until Juana becomes an expert trainer).

What would I do for, say, Charlotte's Petilil, who evolves via Sun Stone, or her Crabrawler, which evolves into Crabominable when leveled up in an icy mountain? Or Pokémon that evolve via friendship and then via Shiny Stone, such as Juana's Togepi?

[Typical]

@LuckyBlackCat Yep I knew that, but wanted to tell you my reaction to it xD It's totally fine though -- nice characterization, keep it up!

@toadropes there's this section in the manual on the site that says:

excerpt

Evolution: All Pokemon evolve through leveling up in this RP. If they would normally evolve through special means only in the games, then they will evolve at the following levels:

Tier 4 to Tier 3: Evolve at level 15

Tier 4 to Tier 2: Evolve at level 30

Tier 3 to Tier 2: Evolve at level 45

Pokemon with Evolution Trees: If a Pokemon has a split in their evolutionary tree, you may choose which evolution they will transform. Provide some realism by having your environment or situation be the apparent reason behind the Pokemon's evolution result.

Hope that helps!

[LuckyBlackCat]

@Dusksong Thanks, I hope the angsting isn't too tiring to read though xD She needs to develop self-confidence instead of just faking it.

I'll reply ASAP, just mentally exhausted right now from working on a portfolio for an art course, and preparing for an upcoming job interview. The post will probably be up tomorrow.

[ToadRopes]

Finally ran my calcs for Juana; I'm hoping I did them right lol

[Silver Fox]

Sorry for the bad post. Will try better next time

[Typical]

@Silver Fox Totally fine! At least you posted, and it's over ~50 words xD

[LuckyBlackCat]

@Zarkun @ToadRopes I'll post with Cici and Jason when I've got more time - still got to do all the calculations.

[LuckyBlackCat]

@Dusksong Whew, longest post yet! I ran into some issues with the calculations for Jason's Doublade and Fraxure, the levels ended up too low or too high no matter how I did the math, so I just put them at their first evolution levels. I hope that's ok.

His Snorunt is eventually going to be a Froslass, not a Glalie, so I based the calculation for her level on that.

I also put Cici's Loudred at lv20, seeing as he hasn't levelled up since evolving.

[Typical]

@LuckyBlackCat That's fine! Pokemon that evolved are calculated based on the level of their evolution, so what you did is totally fine. Length with four characters is crazy, but glad to see you made it work! I'll get to working on my post now :)

[Zarkun]

So...I have the ability to post ever so briefly today, but those calculations are...odd. I also may have to drop due to limited computer access at the current time.

[LuckyBlackCat]

@Zarkun I can solo post for a while, if you want.

[Zarkun]

@Zarkun I can solo post for a while, if you want.

@LuckyBlackCat

Hate to do that to you though...

[LuckyBlackCat]

@Zarkun I'll be honest, I'd like the mission to get completed at some point, but am happy to wait. A month is just an IC day, after all.
