@Balthazar007okay edited! Is that alright?

@prettydrops

Perfect!

Pokemon: Storm

I'm sorry it took me so long to post!

@prettydrops

So, we have conflicting timeline posts, but it doesn't really matter too much. It's not a race. But in the latest time skip, I went by a preceding Dan post...

..."The boat leaves in three days, and we have a day and a half's walk ahead of us. We could rest the last day and a half in Wanzo before we leave, gives me and Indy a chance to check in with the professor. The boat ride itself is about a half day, you should have time to draw at least a quick sketch." He said with a yawn "We better get going." Dan said, excited to see his mom and wanting to leave right away.

Therefore, it is now evening time in Kanto on Monday, May 9th.

Do you mind editing your last post prettydrops for consistency? Maybe add a line about talking to the professor in Wanzo Town or something?

Thanks Everyone!

Good battle! Looks like Pablo needs to focus on training more. He's been too wrapped up in his work.

I'm signing off now.

@Balthazar007 currently online And getting my showdown team ready!

@prettydrops

I'm doing the same with Pablo's team

Pokemon: Storm

Awesome. When are you available for a showdown battle?

@prettydrops

I can do tomorrow between 9am and 1pm. After that, I'll be too busy. I'll have Pablo posted before then.

Pokemon: Storm

@Balthazar007 okay great! I'd like to do a showdown battle on quiet road! I'll post and have Indy come across a trainer.

@TheForgottenArc I can time skip fo kanto after!

@prettydrops

Your opponent's name is Pablo. He is an Agronomist (aka a scientist who studies agriculture). He specializes in how Bugs effect crops. Therefore his team is comprised of Bug type Pokemon. I'll add him to the character section within a couple hours.

@Balthazar007 I a few more questions...
I know we can do one trainer battle a day to get money and we can do that ourselves but it also has to be a showdown battle right? Like how is that gonna work? Can I pitch a trainer and their Pokemon and levels to you?

I am concerned about grinding and having to write numerous posts for single jobs as well. So could give you also give us examples of more high paying "jobs" trainers can do to get more pokedollars?

I'm not trying to farm or anything but I'm just trying to understand.

@prettydrops

Fist off, you can technically have more than one competitive (i.e. showdown) battle per IC day and earn PokeDollars off of them. You just can't battle the SAME trainer twice in one day.

Secondly, if you're itching to battle a new trainer, just let me know. I would love a showdown battle. I have like 5 trainers waiting to debut. Just let me know where you plan on bumping into them, and I'll chose the most appropriate trainer for the location.

As for jobs, there are A, B, C, and D rank jobs. (As well as S-Rank jobs, but I soley control those, and they will come later.) As for the 4 regular ranks, consider this...
D = Chores and Helping Hand Work (No Real Danger Risks)
C = Special Deliveries and High Profile Errands (Slight Danger Risks)
B = Low-Risk Detective Work and Urgent Requests from Rich People (Mild Danger Risks)
A = Police Backup Assignments and Emergency Response Calls (Expected Danger Risks)

S-Rank missions will be like epic journeys (often resulting in a Legendary Encounter). Again, I'll control these. (Action Packed and Dangerous)

@TheForgottenArc I think I'm okay with that but I had a few questions first! @Balthazar007 are we allowed to find known/common items while timeskipping? For example you mentioned Cheri berries were common on some parts of quiet road. Would it be a stretch to say indigo found some?

Also, not gonna lie, I'm kind of curious to see the new pokemon we can access on the old routes. I know you're eager to time skip forgotten arc, but I wanted to also see if there were any new Pokemon... I apologize I hope I'm not being difficult xD

Balth is there any chance you could tell us which new Pokemon we have access to on the old routes?

@prettydrops

Okay, I have spent my morning updating the 1st IC post. We now have all available Pokemon and Items in an area displayed. There is also a hider at the bottom that shows Pokemon that can be found all across the region.

You will notice that all items and Pokemon have one of four "Rarity" values with them: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Super Rare. Basically, you can find any Pokemon or item you want, but you need to keep in mind their rarity. This is not an IC thing for your characters to know about; it is for your use, as the player.

Pokemon or item, the encounter rate is as follows....

Common = You can find a common Pokemon or item at any time.
Uncommon = You can only find one uncommon Pokemon and one uncommon item per IC day.
Rare = You can only find one Rare Pokemon and one Rare item per three days.
Super Rare = You can only find one Super Rare Pokemon and one Super Rare item per IC week (7 Days).

And in case you're wondering, if you haven't had your character encounter a Rare Pokemon (for example) in a whole month, that doesn't mean you can encounter two in a row, one day after the other. You wasted that time. There is no roll over. The "per three days" means you should wait "at least" three days between each encounter.

There are still some Pokemon that are hidden (e.g. Legendaries). I'll control these encounters.

I will not monitor how strictly you all abide by this new "rarity system", but I kindly ask that you do so, for the sake of realism.

@Balthazar007

So does that 5 pokedollars come out of Margo's money? (Sorry if you've mentioned this before!)

@iKatamalicious

@iKatamalicious you don't lose any money!

@prettydrops

Correct!
