[OOC] Pokemon: Earth 2.0

[Joshm]

I like this idea a lot. Could I get some information on the starter options/wild pokemon lines in a handful of areas? I'm mainly interested in Anchorage, Vancouver and New Orleans

How's this?

Nathan Stonewell

Name: Nathan Stonewell
Age: 44
Home: Vancouver, British Columbia,Canada.
Appearance:

Nathan is generally clad in his hiking gear, wearing a T shirt, shorts, hiking boots, a green bandana on his forehead and sunglasses. He also generally has a backpack on. Among his other gear, he carries a toque, a thin jacket and a pair of jeans for colder weather.

Personality: He's fairly intelligent and well read, especially in topics relating to the world as a whole, the environment and wild pokemon. Despite this, he's not exactly the scholarly type. He's a very hands-on person, confident in his own abilities and skills. As his past would suggest, he's a true outdoors-man that likes to engage with nature rather than observing from a far. This bleeds into his strong sense of wanderlust. As a result of his strong desire to see the world, he has little sentimentality and is often moving from place to place. Despite this, he's a person that enjoys the journey just as much as the destination. Nathan can be a little brash or impulsive , but this stems from the boyish enthusiasm he has towards nature rather than some kind of arrogance. He's a very particular type of person that gets along with others that have a lot in common with him, but otherwise can be fairly standoffish and poor at reading social situations. He finds people to be complicated and at times frustrating. While not completely socially inept, he does prefer to company of pokemon to other people.


Biography: Nathan was born in Vancouver to his mother, a local professor in pokemon ecology at the local university and his father, a pokemon ranger who was the primary authority of a nearby provincial park. As such, Nathan was born into a family that fed his passions for pokemon at a young age. When Nathan was still young however, his father accepted a position in a new park near Revelstoke. As a result, most of Nathan's memories involved their rural home in the middle of the boreal forest and Nathan loved it. After graduating high school, he immediately returned to Vancouver to study population ecology and follow in his father's footsteps as a park ranger. He was successful in this endeavour, and at the age of 37 found himself working at a provincial park on Vancouver Island. He catalogued pokemon species, tracked their populations, observed their behaviours and patrolled the borders to stop poachers. It was a job he very much enjoyed, but he felt like he wanted something more. While enjoying his life within British Columbia, he dreamed of journeying through desert, trekking through mountains and exploring rain forests. He wanted to see the world and all the pokemon that called it home. After sitting on this desire for a few years, he finally decided to take the step he needed to take, and became a pokemon trainer. Now, on the road with no particular destination in mind, the next stage in his life begins.

Pokemon:
"Grover" Turtwig- Male - Level 11
Grover is a very gentle and loving pokemon who was Nathan's selected starter. He can be a bit dimwitted but is fiercely loyal. He's also fairly affectionate with every new person he meets.

"Jet" Buizel - Male - Level 8
Jet is in a lot of ways the opposite of Grover. He's mischievous , often getting into trouble, and confident to a fault. He can have a bit of an attitude, and is a real performer when it comes to battles, always wanting to show off.

@Joshm
I see absolutely nothing wrong with this character sheet. Very well done. You may post it to the Characters tab and then post in the IC tab, whenever you like! Glad to have you on board!

[Wayward]

Oh. I forgot I mentioned her starting college at a specific age. I'll get on that ASAP.

[Balthazar007]

@Joshm First of all, nice post. You're obviously a good writer. Secondly, Wailmer isn't actually indigenous to that area, BUT it would make sense that it could just be far from it's home. Wailmer can travel long distances, so I'll allow it.

Do you want a run down of the Pokemon in Puget Sound, WA? Or no, since you're already traveling to a new location?

Again. Nice post!

[Joshm]

@balthazar007 Appreciate it, and that's my bad I was looking for some kind of Pokémon stand-in for an orca. I'd appreciate a pokemon list for the rocky mountains and the general midwest

@Joshm

So the way that my system works, I have to have an exact location to input coordinates.

So for the "Midwest" I dropped a ping near Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and for "The Rocky Mountains" I dropped a ping near American Boarder Peak, Washington.

Sioux Falls, South Dakota (in the area)
Patrat, Tauros, Ledyba, Hoppip, Misdreavus, Wurmple, Bidoof, Buneary, Tirtouga, Bouffalant, Bunnelby, Rattatta, Miltank, Nincada

American Boarder Peak, Washington (in the area)
Farfetch'd, Natu, Marill, Pineco, Zigzagoon, Pachirisu, Buizel, Rockruff, Oddish, Paras, Shuckle, Tropius, Shinx, Shellos, Drifloon

As a rule of thumb, these Pokemon should be pretty good for the surrounding 500 miles. If you travel further than 500 miles, you might want to ask for a new list.

I just remembered this is about New Year's and I'm getting triggered because I caught Covid on New Year's x_x XD

@Zanavy

Let's all assume our characters are staying 6 feet apart. XD

Also, the idea to go back to the lab was only a suggestion, not knowing that we were parked next to each other, and it was only to get away from the spiders. I think Reno would try to stop her once he realized they were parked near each other. They could split ways in the parking lot. Do you want to back your post up a little?

[Zanavy]

Oh lawd, there better not be Covid in 2099.

Okay, I'll edit my post. I might not get around to it for a few days, so I'll just make my post blank until then.

@Zanavy

You didn't have to leave it blank. I just meant that you could delete the part where she drove away. That way Reno would have a chance to be like "Hey, I'm parked right here. Looks like we're both safe now..."

I'm officially dropping out of this RP. Clinical rotations are taking up too much of my mental energy. Best of luck to you.

No worries. I understand. Go save some lives!
