Grand Pokemon Champion

[Phoenix]

This will not follow the canon or game mechanics.
(Pokemon teams are made up of 8 and each know up to 8 moves, at least 3 of which are Status moves.)
This will be a real-time battle.
Dodging, countering, and combining attacks are legal maneuvers.
Pokemon may have any "legal" ability (according to Bulbapedia).
Pokemon cannot hold items.
Pokemon cannot know moves outside their type/species (examples will be provided).
Pokemon may know moves that fit their type/species (examples will be provided).
Legendaries are not allowed.
Pseudo-legendaries are limited to 2 a team.
Level does not matter.
Statistics do not matter.
Natures/Characteristics don't matter.
PP is gauged as "energy." This is expelled when dodging and countering.
Combining attacks will be executed more slowly than normal attacks and with generally less accuracy.

This is to be at least of Casual level. Give Pokemon and character personality (flaws).
Moves must hit on a regular basis. A round will be forfeited for 5 consecutive dodges (this includes attacking between dodges).
More rules will be described in the first post.
We may have two separate battles in which each is the victor if we so agree.
If you want any more information, feel free to ask.

As per the following items in the OP, the following I cannot deem "legal":
-Gengar with Thunder and Energy Ball
-Drifblim with Charge Beam
-Dusknoir with Toxic
-Froslass with Thunder and Water Pulse
-Mismagius with Energy Ball, Dazzling Gleam, Charge Beam, and Toxic
-Chandelure with Solar Beam
-Glaceon with Shadow Ball, Dig, Water Pulse, and Toxic

[MarsAdept]

Alright, I can work around that. Give me a bit to rethink my party please.

[Phoenix]

Certainly. Thank you for not getting offended.

If you'd like to debate what I've listed, I'd be more than happy to discuss it. ^^

[MarsAdept]

ok how does this party look now. i will argue to keep my glaceon knowing Shadow ball. According to Bulbapedia, it can be taught to Glaceon using a TM. Also, after hanging out in a party of all ghosts, it is fitting to have glaceon learn a ghost move to fit in. other than Glaceon with Shadow ball, i have fixed the problems you addressed. Also, traded a Mismagnus for a Golurk.

I'm ignoring the idea of TMs and even the fact of taught moves. I did not explicitly say this, however, so I apologize. Allow me to explain.

Technically, Ninetales cannot learn Shadow Ball. However, due to lore and characteristics, I feel Ninetales is a Fire and Psychic type, at least at a pseudo level. It could also be argued that it's a Ghost-type as well. Because of this, I believe Ninetales should be able to know Shadow Ball.
(Note: I think Ghost/Psychic/Dark types/moves overlap to some degree due to the characteristics of such Pokemon.)
Another example would be something like Gyarados learning Flying moves because it's a Flying-type. Now, I would consider Gyarados to be Water/Dragon instead of Water/Flying, allowing it to learn the more powerful moves such as Draco Meteor and Dragon Pulse rather than Flying moves (which it can't learn).
It makes physical sense that Spiritomb would know Rock Tomb considering it's made from a (tomb) stone.
It also makes physical sense that Dusknoir would know those elemental punches considering his fists and his Ghostly abilities.
In the case of your Glaceon, I agree that it would be interesting that it would have been able to learn Shadow Ball due to being around Ghost types for such a long period of time. I think it would also be interesting if its Shadow Ball was icy or colder or just a different color in respect to its innate type.
So, overall, this takes a more creative spin rather than competitive. Limiting a Pokemon while considering what it could be extended to.

Going with this, would you be interested in changing Pokemon types to fit their physical characteristics and their lore? For example, Ninetales would be Fire/Psychic, Dusknoir could be Ghost/Dark, Flabebe line is Fairy/Grass.
We could go further and give tertiary types. Ninetales is Fire/Psychic/Ghost, Spiritomb is Ghost/Dark/Rock, Gengar is Ghost/Poison/Flying, Shiftry is Grass/Dark/Fighting, etc. (But this would only extend to those it can be argue for and agreed upon and not provided for every Pokemon.)
Furthermore, moves like Light Screen, Reflect, and Double Team will have different applications in this RP than in the Games (more toward the Anime).

But some more "critiques":
- Is Gengar's "Dream Ray" supposed to be "Dream Eater"?
- Did you have a purpose for Froslass' Wake-Up Slap? Was it supposed to combo with your Hypnosis Pokemon?
- You seem to like Hyperbeam and Protect each as much as I like Double Team xP

But anyway, it looks excellent. I'll make the OOC soon. I'll try to have a post up tomorrow. :)

[MarsAdept]

lol yes, Dream ray was mean to be Dream Eater. Wake up slap is a good combo piece with hypnosis, however i felt it was flavorful too. Froslass is a civilized lady and no doubt would slap you if you did not show class, especially if you fall asleep during her performance. Also, Hyperbeam is amazing. one of my first pick moves since gen 1.

Now that you have explained exactly what you wanted this roleplay to be, I have to say i like it more. i was looking at it from a more competitive sense. I like your view on pokemon. i would be fine giving a tertiary or secondary type to some of the pokemon to make things more flavorful.

[Phoenix]

I love the character you've given your Froslass. I would love to see mine and yours battle. T'would be amusing. ^^

Well, I'm glad we have similar tastes, then. :)
We can talk more about it in the OOC. But if we go as far as tertiary, this is what I'd have my Pokemon be. Tell me if you disagree with any of it.
