Pokemon: Worlds Collide

@Zarkun@Cerces22

I've added about 15 new families of Pokemon today. Here's how that effects areas where your characters are located.

Philidelphia (Circe)

• Caterpie [Common: Near parks and green spaces]
• Pidgey [Common: In urban or suburban areas]
• Psyduck [Rare: Occasionally on or near rivers]
• Ledyba [Common: Near parks and green spaces]
• Wabufet [Common: Away from large crowds]

Idaho (As mentioned by @Zarkun, and I'm using the center of Idaho)

• Paras [Common: In forests and parks]
• Shinx [Rare: Hiding in secluded elevated areas]
• Pachirisu [Common: Anywhere with trees]

FYI, I won't be online much for the rest of today or all of tomorrow.

Pokemon: Worlds Collide

Loading Arc...

"Hello, Catherine "Circe" Lin?? This is Professor Oak, we have reviewed your application, we want to select you to take the test to become a Pokemon trainer!!" Circe's cigarette fell from her mouth as she was given the details on when she was leaving for the test.

@Cerces22

Their phone call was short and rehearsed. In fact, it wasn't actually Professor Oak at all but a very well made recording, which gave her a quick congradulations and a simple request that she check her email for more information.

Inside her email she would find a message with simple instructions. There would be twenty oppritunities to take the exams, any day (Monday through Friday) from March 2nd to March 27th. Since she lived on the East coast, her testing sight would be a federal agent training camp located in Washington D.C. At the bottom of the email there were even instructions on how she could be reimbursed for any travel expenses.

The ball was now in her court. All she had to do was choose a day, and get there on time. Check in would be from 2pm till 8pm the day before her exams, and they would start bright and early at 8am. There were very little details on the exams themselves. Only a warning that she dress comfortably and study hard.

"Study hard"??? That was strange. What exactly was she supposed to study, it didn't say.

@Balthazar007

Like I said she was off training her new team members, a champ always has to be at their best, she wanted to switch her team up a bit and was out with them when she was taken, I want her to fill more of a Brock type roll than a trainer role you know what I mean??

@Cerces22

I think I get what you mean. However, once we get past the bootcamp phase, she will most likely be the leader of a team with two new graduate trainers. (I don't see her being one of the antagonistic solo characters).

If anything, I see @Zarkun's character going solo before yours. He seems like the type that might not want to lead a team, because they would slow him down or something.

Pokemon: Worlds Collide

Right, right, I know. Latias was in the bio. I'll look into what Chi sight normally means in a similar Sci-Fi setting and also, don't blame you on Garchomp. He's a powerhouse.

@Zarkun

Awesome, I'll be on the lookout for your two characters!

Pokemon: Worlds Collide

Thanks I never realized that they were consider psuedo-legendary, I just thought that they were rare encounters lol

@Cerces22

Well don't overlook this part of that wiki page...

Pseudo-legendary Pokémon is a fan term commonly used to refer to...

The key words there are "fan term", meaning that it's a commonly debated issue.

But this reveals another valuable lesson. If you ever have a question about Pokemon theory, refer to Bulbapedia. That's where I look before making up my mind.

Pokemon: Worlds Collide

@Balthazar007

I am going to bring Hephaestus, a female Snorlax Adephagia and a male Duskull named Hades. She would never have left Monferno since he was her first pokemon, and the other two she was training when brought over

@Cerces22

So that's 3 Pokemon right?

Hephaestus ♂ (Monferno) Lv 30
Adephagia ♀ (Snorlax) Lv 30
Hades ♂ (Duskull) Lv 30

And to be clear, you are electing to NOT fill your other three slots?

If this is correct, give this post a like, and I will change your character stats in the 0th IC post accordingly.
If not, let me know. :)

Pokemon: Worlds Collide

Sounds good. I'm still unclear of the standing of Absol and Lucario as pseudo-legendaries, because Absol can be caught a dozen times in Ruby/Saphire and Lucario has an egg form and can also be caught. So yeah, just confusion you can't really help since it's not your fault XD

I'll be honest though, surprised you didn't ask for more info, like why Latias and why he has a special ability.

@Zarkun

To be clear, the only thing I've approved of is the transfer of these six Pokemon:
Gallade
Absol
Garchomp
Kabuto
Skarmory
Lucario

I only saw Latios in your biography, which is a neat touch, but does not apply to this RP. As for your character's own special abilitity. It's going to have to fit in the relm of human possibility. So magically seeing other people's chi is going to have to be dropped or at least changed into something more realistic.

As for Pseudo-Legendaries, I'm using this standard: bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Pseud…
Lucario and Absol are not on that list. I wasn't worried about them. Your Garchomp was the one I was debating on.

Pokemon: Worlds Collide

@Cerces22@Zarkun

Okay, final rulings. LOL

First off, just to make sure @Cerces22, Smeargle isn't in your area. Only these Pokemon are:

• Caterpie [common]
• Pidgey [common]
• Psyduck [rare]

I have no problem with the Smeargle in your character sheet, because you didn't say HOW you saw it. You could have saw it on TV.

As for Pokemon transfers for outside characters. My final ruling is this:
Up to six Pokemon can be transferred, one of which may be Pseudo-Legendary. Still no Legendary or Mythical. Transfered Pokemon will be put at Lvl 30.

All this said, @Zarkun your character is approved with all his Pokemon being transfered (minus the Darkrai at the bottom). They will all be level 30, which is possible given their evolutionary requirements.

As for @Cerces22, you can still choose more Pokemon to bring over if you wish, though I know you said you didn't want to do that. Just let me know. Regardless, the Pokemon you transfer over will be at level 30 and be evolved acordingly.

Does all that sound fair? :)

Pokemon: Worlds Collide

Ok, so I have my trainer I am "importing" as well, the way Balthy explained imports is you can change up the Pokemon on your team (he restricted legends of course) but you have 120 level points to distribute between them all with a lvl cap of 35

@zarkun

@Cerces22

That was what I was going to do last time I talked to you, yes, but I've changed it to three Pokemon at Lv20 each. I'm willing to go four Pokemon at Lv30 each though. If it's an issue.

EDIT: Also, I've just changed my mind about Pseudo-Legendary Pokemon. I'll allow two Pseudo-Legendary Pokemon to be transfered.

Pokemon: Worlds Collide

If I were to join, I has a couple of questions, cause I actually have a Pokemon character, highly experienced trainer, but with some high end Pokemon. I would also like to inquire as to the nature of regions and what has what Pokemon. Of course, I assume you have that handled, but let's say...Idaho. What would I find there?

@Zarkun

As long as your character isn't bringing over any Legendary, Mythical, or Pseudo-Legendary Pokemon, I'm good with it. Also, you have to be okay with the three Pokemon that you do transfer over being downgraded to Lv20.

As far as "What's in Idaho?", here's the current list...

• Paras [common]
• Shinx [rare]

Again, this is poor reflection of what will be in that area once I'm done adding all the Pokemon to the Map. I'd say I've only placed about 15% of Pokemon so far.

Oh and @Cerces22, I really hate to do this to you, but you accidently recieved a list that had multiple locations worth of Pokemon... my bad. LOL

Now that I'm done building the RP, my main focus will be to place Pokemon on the map. My goal is to have every Pokemon placed on the map before everyone graduates from the bootcamp.
