Pokemon - Hoenn: Make a Wish Attempt #? (Always Accepting)

[Fire Salamander]

@Phoenix
I wouldn't really like to do advanced but if I really pushed myself I think it would be ok, but I really prefer casual or free. Also Loony's guess was pretty good. I think I'd be comfortable writing about 3-4 paragraphs.

You're welcome. :3

[Cyndyr]

At what level do you would you prefer this to be? I'm sure most of you are actually at an advanced level but stay in casual. Regardless, I would enforce those site's explosive for the relevant section this is placed.

Would you prefer 3-5 or 5-10 players? I just want to know what is most comfortable for you and how much work I'll have to put in to involve everyone (which I wouldn't mind in the least).

@Phoenix

I've never done an Advanced Roleplay and I'm not exactly sure how comfortable I'd be, but I also believe there's a first for everything and I'd certainly be okay with trying it. As for players, I have no preference. I suppose if I HAD TO pick, then I prefer larger Roleplays. The more the merrier, I say!

[Fire Salamander]

@Cynder I'm fine with trying advance as well but I prefer casual. I'm fine with large groups but I still prefer small groups.

@Phoenix Also I have a question, do the characters have to be 18 or older because I'd like to make my character 16 if that is ok with you.

[Phoenix]

Just checking in. I've been keeping up but don't really have the time to properly respond yet. I will do so when I get home. :)

I hate working Saturdays. -_-

[Loony]

@Phoenix 'S cool man, we all understand.

[Prints Avoid]

I'd like to ask a few questions to everyone.

At what level do you would you prefer this to be? I'm sure most of you are actually at an advanced level but stay in casual. Regardless, I would enforce those site's explosive for the relevant section this is placed.

Would you prefer 3-5 or 5-10 players? I just want to know what is most comfortable for you and how much work I'll have to put in to involve everyone (which I wouldn't mind in the least).

Again, any and all questions are welcome and you always PM me with any concerns. :)
Thank you all again.

@Phoenix

Personally, either Casual or Advanced is fine with me. I don't hang around Advanced much, but I like to think I can keep up. As for numbers, I find smaller groups easier to interact with, but I mean if we can keep a larger group organized, that's fine too. It all depends on how well you think you can keep a large group moving :P

[Loony]

@Prints Avoid Oh hey Prints, fancy seeing you again.

[Phoenix]

Okay, I think the easiest way to do this on my phone is to make general statements for everyone, even though I prefer to be specific.

So, if it were advanced, I would expect no more than 3 paragraphs (though more would not be discouraged). I, personally, don't care for purple prose. I just care about character development and continuity (so reading and understanding time and space of all characters).
I prefer proper grammar, and I will be more than willing to enlighten anyone on the subject should they care for it.

So, if it were placed in advanced, I have a feeling that no one would have a problem. I'm not really strict when it comes to advanced.

As for group size, I'm more than determined to keep up a large group, but I understand the hesitations. But I'm really hoping for everyone to be committed to play their part and communicate respectfully and effectively.

But I'm open to CSs being PM'd to me, though. I'd like to know if everyone understands the mechanics I'm intending to implement. @Loony has already PM'd me their concerns. I would like to open up conversation to this topic next before we really get started. ^^

EDIT: oh god, the horror of my grammar on the phone. (〒︿〒)

@Devo@Chev@Iatos
Hey, you three! :-P
Just wondering if you guys had any opinions on what I've inquired. ^^

[Iatos]

Well i wouldnt mind a casual +. But i think i should be able to tackle advanced.

For group size I'm not certain.

A large group surely had its issues. But a small can turn bland without players playing multiple chars.

[Loony]

@Iatos Phoenix said we could have an unlimited number of characters so I don't think that'll be a problem in a small group. I already have three characters in mind. That being said, I have no qualms with a larger group.

[Iatos]

@Loony Well just saying xD

[Prints Avoid]

Typing is somewhat irrelevant (any type can learn to withstand any weakness, but this must come at a cost).

Pokemon may have and additional type added to their species. They may also have types omitted. This goes for Pokemon moves, as well.

@Phoenix

Would you mind elaborating on these two points please? With these and the rule governing types of moves a Pokemon can know, I'm having trouble understanding the level of importance of types.

[Phoenix]

In the first point, "somewhat" is the key word. You can have a fire type that learned how to resist (to some degree) water type moves. So, connecting with the rule governing moves that can be performed, they would be able to stand up to that type with relatively greater effectiveness.

The second point is mostly for flavor. Dodrio can be purely normal, since it doesn't actually fly. Gogoat can be normal grass to mirror Pyroar. Florges can be fairy grass since it should be, etc. For example: my main character has a Masquerain that is bug, flying, and water that it held onto from its pre-evolution.
This particular point can be argued, but this RP is simply for the story and drama, not for the typical Pokèmon mechanics. I can provide an example of how I intend battling to play out, if that would be easier for everyone to comprehend.

I know the mechanics take away a lot that is Pokèmon in current gaming, but this is how I've imagined Pokèmon should really be since the third generation and I would like to play it out.
Feel free to reference my character to get a further insight as to what I'm intending for Pokèmon to be (don't read the whole sheet): roleplayerguild.com/topics/87441-pokem..

[Prints Avoid]

Thanks for that. I think I get where you're going.

So you fleshed out this AU Hoenn pretty well and opened up the RP to characters from other regions. Would we be free to mess with the other regions' histories and cultures for our characters' backstories? I don't have anything too big in mind just yet, but I was thinking Unova would be a lot less environmentally friendly than Hoenn.

[Phoenix]

@Prints Avoid I would be totally for that. That sounds like a great idea! :D

@Phoenix

I'm good.

[Loony]

@Prints Avoid Prints you bloody genius Thanks for giving me an idea.

What idea? Imagine what kind of culture Orre would have.

[Loony]

@Iatos 'S cool bro. ' v '

[Prints Avoid]

@Prints Avoid Prints you bloody genius

@Loony

I know
