Welp, I'm-a gonna go grab som sleeps. Hopefully, our moderator friends will deal with the unfortunate stuff sometime soon.

If they don't then I'm gonna spam until I can quarantine the entire page

Oh and I encourage players that are planning on traveling together to start talking to each other OOC.

So would anyone be interested in traveling with Val?

Thanks Legends!

Posts can resume again!

Just wanted to share an explanation I gave to Xalt in a PM regarding finding Pokemon.

"Here’s how it works. Common Pokémon are those that you can see just by going about the world. Uncommon Pokémon are Pokémon that require you to look around an area a bit more closely, asking around for information or fulfill a condition like head butting a tree. Rare Pokémon require more work as they typically require doing a challenge or finding unique locations by fulfilling certain conditions or by brute forcing your exploration. However, for both uncommon and rare Pokémon information is king so asking around for any information in towns and routes is valuable."

Hope this is helpful!

Okay so Faye was wishy-washy in IC, but for full transparency:

Faye is going North (Route 1) after exploring the city. She is open to travelling with any number of people.

IC she's only put that out there to Nils and David (and anyone that decides they were near the three of them) but she won't turn down random requests.

So who is interested in a bit of sightseeing, event triggering, and catching Pokemon around Grand Glory with her? There's some monuments she wants to photograph while in town then off to the trainer park.

@Sanguine Rose my vague idea was David choosing between route 1 and 4 with a coin flip, and ending the post before the result so the next person in the group could decide. I'm good with saving that for later though and going for the city, then route 1.

@Shazamrock I'm not sure how that plays into what you have written. David currently thinks the three of them are traveling together, but he can be corrected lol

@Zapdos It doesn't interfere at all so no worries. I ended up not being quite done yet but will post when I do finish, and after that will chime in to the OOC more on future plans.

@Sanguine Rose Oh by the way, was Faye able to include herself in the photo or was she taking it of everyone else?

@Sanguine Rose Regan's a foreigner, so sightseeing sounds good, actually.

Oh, sweet, the smuge got wiped off while I was away. :D

Now to just sit back and wait for the results of RNGesus~

@Shazamrock She's only taking it if everyone else. Because she wants to capture the energy in the group as it is and setting up a timer would likely ruin that. But she rarely is in photographs. She's more interested in taking them than being seen in them

But she'll be taking a cheesy selfie of her and Sage. And she'll do group photographs with whomever she travels with if asked to

@Sanguine Rose
Ah, staying out of the spotlight to give the true star more room to shine? Truly, a lady of good taste and wise mind. *sage nod*

I'm kidding.

You savage!

Hopefully this is alright but I floated the traditional 'immediate battle after getting starters' idea to Clarissa and David as Nils perceives them as the most experienced due to them arriving with pokemon already. Like I mentioned in the post no problem if neither of you are interested @Zapdos@Crusader Lord or if you are but want to postpone it for later. Could also do a three way battle, or if someone else wants to jump in a two on two, or just two separate battles at different times. Although I am not sure how player vs player battles should be handled?

For traveling, I am fine with Nils joining Faye @Sanguine Rose and David @Zapdos (and Reagan?) @CitrusArms around the city and potentially after city sight-seeing as well. I assume that traveling parties will be mixed up every now and then as time goes on anyway. Or if smaller groups are preferred for actual travel, I could have Nils go with another group (like with Clarissa @Crusader Lord since she was asking people, which would make it a trio and trio and a sewer adventure could be fun). Ultimately I don't really mind though, I think any of the characters would be fun to travel with OOC.

I am sort of torn on direction though. I was thinking to have Nils go route 4 initially so he wouldn't be on the path back to Frostford so soon... but I also think maybe getting an ice-type early on would be cute, to carry more of a "piece of home" with him as he travels. But then I also think finding an unexpected ice-type away from home would be fun. So... I guess I will decide and pick a group from there? Or pick a group and have that decide which direction to go? Or just RP and see what happens naturally, I don't know! @w@;

Personally when I'm torn like that, @Shazamrock, I typically let RP decide. If you're enjoying the dynamic of who you end up with immediately stick with them.

Last iteration, we ended up working out a plan for North and South to meet in a designated city at a designated time to reorganize. I'm sure that will come up this time too. And there are routes to cut across (i.e. boating across the lake) to aide in rerouting too.

@CitrusArms Come along.

I won't get my post submitted until probably tomorrow but it will include Faye announcing sightseeing and offering for any interested to join her.

@Sanguine Rose
That's fine. I'll probably be too tired tomorrow to even post.
