You can still run Swablu. Mega Altaria is a thing.
I know, but you can only have one mega so I'd prefer gyarados, mainly because it's cooler. I'd still probably have a swablu anyway though, for support.

So, there's this rabbit outside my house, and I'm not sure what to do with it. It sits there sometimes, eating grass and staring into space. It isn't mine, though, so it runs off when we approach.

Alright then, I guess I'll go for mega Gyarados somehow. He looks pretty damn great. Still kinda want a swablu though, but not much reason to do that. Too bad there isn't a mega fearow but fearow aint that great anyway, so nevermind.
It depends on what I want for my Mega. I'm only going to have one shiny is what I'd decided. If I choose any of them other than Sceptile, I can run with the Serperior.
Honestly for my Mega it's either... Gallade, Gengar, Altaria, Scizor, Garchomp, Tyrannitar, or Sceptile.
Also I know Starters like Charmander, Torchic and Piplup have an exclusive status within the games, but in the anime they're encountered almost like normal Pokemon, so I don't think starters have to be very rare.
Can we only have one mega? I mentioned before that I haven't played any of the last 2 games, and I don't know how mega evolution works.
Also, In Firered at least, you could encounter ace trainers with Ivysaurs and Charizards down in victory road and a few other places, so the starters were at least running around somewhere.
Well, I'm kind of torn between either shiny magikarp or shiny swablu, because they look pretty great when evolved.
@Sho Minazuki
Honestly accurate, especially the part about lurking in tall grass for hours; does % chance even matter in an RP?
I think in this case, it's more of a guide kind of thing.
Because it's not like you want someone to have all the rare pokemon just like that, and its's in the spirit of the games that random encounters exist for finding pokemon. I'd assume it's for balance, and also for flavour, so that making your team is similar to what an actual trainer would do.
But that's really just my conjecture, and I do agree that it would be pretty tedious.
@Lord Santa
I'm here, just had some Real life stuff I needed to do.
Anybody wanna fill me in on the IC/OOC?
Yeah, I get real life sometimes.
Essentially, most of the IC has just been interactions between characters, but we've pretty much just gotten our stuff. Then a budew invasion happened, the professor sorted it out and booted everyone onto the street so some are interacting some more.
What a strange turn of events. Steven thought while on the floor.
"Caw?" Tim said, waddling towards Steven, confused by the events that just took place.
"I'm alright buddy," Steven said, yawning. "It was just sleep powder, probably did me more good than harm."
Steven got up slowly as Tim hopped back onto his head. Unfortunately, it appeared that the pokelab was closing soon, so he had to leave. The other trainers were already going, so Steven followed. Once outside, he stretched in the sunlight as Tim also spread his wings a little. Steven took the time to reflect on the events that took place moments before.
He had been talking to a fellow trainer just now, and it was going alright, probably, before a sudden budew invasion cut it off rather abruptly. A budew practically launched itself at Steven, maybe for hugs, but Steven ducked so its trajectory instead sped it towards Tim. Tim batted it away as gently as he could onto one of the many chairs, perhaps sensing Steven's reluctance harm them, as they were quite young and a broken bone or two wouldn't serve them well. Then again, he was probably just confused.
Steven got up to check out the situation and found a few dozen budews running around, turning the waiting room into some kind of plant playground, and there were a few looking to play on a new found toy - Steven. Steven backed up but found himself in a ring of budew, who were about to spring him. Steven suddenly felt a menacing presence and looked up to see that Tim had begun using scary face to ward off the impending budew invasion.
The babies cowered and retreated under Tim's fierce gaze, and Steven felt bad for potentially traumatizing a dozen or so baby budew, but it was for his own survival and Tim's quick thinking had allowed Steven a moment of peace. Steven looked around quickly to get his bearings and found that almost everyone was being savaged by budew, albeit playfully.
Steven was conflicted as to whether or not to let Tim attack when he started getting sleepy for no discernible reason. He yawned, and his behaviour was matched by the surrounding budew. Tim, perhaps too prideful to yawn, stiffened a little before noticeably relaxing on Steven's head. Soon, the young budew fell asleep, and Tim too felt his consciousness going.
What's going on? Steven thought, glancing around the room.
He noticed the professor's Ivysaur off to the side as Steven sank down to the floor.
Oh, sleep poweder. Steven thought.
As Steven's consciousness disappeared, he curled up on the floor, clutching Tim who was already asleep.
Well, a little nap would do me good. Maybe. Steven thought.
Steven closed his eyes and went to sleep.
The budew crisis was averted, but Steven had a crisis of his own. Bringing up his wrist, he brought up the map from the Pokenav. Tim looked down at it quizzically. Steven didn't notice and studied the map for a little bit. See, the problem was, he had no idea what he was supposed to do now.
Where the heck am I supposed to go? Steven thought. I guess I should go take on the gym leaders, but I gotta get stronger first. Which gym was the first one again? And which town was it in?
Steven shut off his pokenav and rubbed his eyes. He really had no idea what he was doing. Truth be told, he wanted to do nothing, but his parents wanted him to have a trainer journey. Since it wasn't something he wanted to do that much, he never looked into it, and now it was coming back to bite him.
Guess I'll go ask someone what they're doing and see what happens. Steven decided.
He looked around and quickly spotted someone who kind of looked like they might have a direction. A trainer with a Mareep. Approaching the female trainer, Steven issued a tentative greeting.
"Um, hi. You were in the waiting room of the lab just now, right?" Steven said somewhat awkwardly. "Would you mind telling me what you're planning to do now? I'm kind of lost, you see."
