Pokémon: One (~Looking for one player and a Co-GM!~)

Hey, you're the bossman and I have no problem with any of these systems, so these work for me.

Now I go back to getting me arse kicked in bloodborne because I haven't played for a month and I am so terribly out of practice and I'm on NG+5 I think.

Pokémon: One (~Looking for one player and a Co-GM!~)

Hmm...

Well, there's honestly not much you can do to...fix that in PvP situations, unless there is a way to have the players send out their pokemon at the same time.

A collab might be the best solution to fix that, but I'm not sure how everyone here feels about them.

The two battling could also maybe decide what pokemon they would send out first in the OOC, and come to a compromise or decision that their character would send out 'x' pokemon and the other would send out 'y'. Relies on the honor system a bit, but I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt in such situations. As long as it's reasonable that their character would chose said pokemon first for a battle, I don't see the problem with it.

Pokémon: One (~Looking for one player and a Co-GM!~)

Perhaps the first pokemon you send out is always the one who is at the front of your roster in the pokemon line-up in your post before the battle starts?

The same way it works in the games, sorta? I wouldn't mind it, and it realistically could reasonably be the first pokemon on your belt/wherever you keep your pokemon, so in a sudden battle situation it's likely to assume you'd grab them first.

Just my thoughts, though.

But yeah, only being able to switch if it's a relatively safe environment (not being attacked at the moment and stuff like that) Makes the most sense. It'd be sort of hard to recall and send out pokemon like that.

Pokémon: One (~Looking for one player and a Co-GM!~)

I'll agree with @PlatinumSkink. The bit about the pokemon switching at least, not so sure about the 'best out of x wins' or something. Seems a bit...eh. Out there.

I am, however, against pre-deciding the order you send out your pokemon in whatever fashion. That is a very inflexible system and after thinking it over a bit more and reading the others suggestions, I think it would be neat to be able to switch out pokemon in some manner to allow for some creative strategies.

Pokémon: One (~Looking for one player and a Co-GM!~)

Question for y'all, in a battle with multiple Pokémon, let's say your Pokémon is defeated or vice versa. Should the trainer who's Pokémon was not defeated be able to switch out in response to the defeated trainer's new pick? I'm leaning towards no, as this might lead to constant type advantage and a snowball victory depending on who wins the first round, but I'd like everyone's input as this is your campaign.

@Whimsley

I agree with you on that. In official battles, that would be a little...advantageous for the one who wins. Would allow for more fair play, I think, for them to not be able to switch.

....I have too much fun being a jerk with my characters sometimes xD

~Lynn Haywood~

Lynn hadn't heard or saw the other girl trying to get her attention, she was too busy trying to reign in her impatience. That, and the music blasting in her headphones pretty much drowned out all the other idle conversation of everyone else in line. She didn't care at all about what they were talking about. She only cared about the line finally goddamn moving so she could get her mitts on a pokemon. She admittedly didn't know all that much about pokemon, since she sort of...either slept through most classes regarding them or just downright skipped them. But she was sure she'd be fine. She was Lynn Haywood, after all. She was confident in her abilities.

The feeling of her headphones being tugged on and the sound of music going silent in her ears pulled her out of her thoughts and back to the other people in line.

"Do you have any idea what you just did?" The voice behind her made it obvious who the culprit was. She didn't know the voice, but well, it didn't matter. No one touched her headphones. Let alone just pull them off of her when she was listening to something. Honestly, she was a little pissed.

Some little fucker was about to get kneecapped.

"Those were important to me, you know! Really really important! What if I starve to death now, huh?"

Lynn turned around slowly as the girl continued to talk, one of her hands balling into a fist. The perpetrator of the crime, and soon to be kneecapped victim? The same braids she had almost run into. She was upset she had got the spot in front of her while she was being slow, at least it sounded like it. Well, tough toenails, twinkle toes. The amount of fucks she gave was a whopping zero. She honestly would very much like to knock this girls teeth out, and would have too if she suddenly hadn't found a chocolate bar shoved in her face.

"You're lucky I'm forgiving you, you know! But I'm gonna help you to be all nice and stuff. So since I've forgiven you, we're gonna be the best of friends from now on, you got that! I'll even let you keep that space in line if you want!"

...wat.

It took the older girl a few seconds to process what the hyperactive seeming girl had said. When she finally did, Lynn replied with a loud laugh. Whether amusement, or mocking was difficult to tell. It might have been a bit of both. The laughing continued for a few moments before Lynn finally calmed down enough to talk properly. She brushed the chocolate bar aside, taking no interest in the candy.

"Okay, braids." Lynn said as her laughter died down, a condescending smirk plastered on her face as she looked down at the other girl. "The only reason I haven't knocked your teeth out yet, is because you made me laugh." She replied, reaching into her pocket and pulling out a lighter and a carton of cigarettes. She pulled one out of the carton, and lit it, before placing the carton back in her jacket pocket along with the lighter in the other.

"So you might wanna, back off before I forget just how nice and forgiving I am." Lynn placed a hand on her hip, holding the freshly lit cigarette in the other as she spoke, blowing some smoke towards the other girl. "So shut your goddamn mouth, and get lost."

With that, she turned back around as the cigarette had its intended calming effect, and brought her headphones back around her ears. Maybe she had been a bit harsh, but eh...she couldn't really say she cared. She just wanted this goddamn line to hurry up and move, and it was rather obvious if her tapping foot was anything to go by.

Abigail did not just-

Oh lord. I was hoping to not send her into quiet icy seething rage so early.

But welp, looks like I'ma have too.

Tomorrow.

It's late and I am tired.

Pokémon: One (~Looking for one player and a Co-GM!~)

Hey hey.

I did a thing.

Pokémon: One (~Looking for one player and a Co-GM!~)

~Lynn Haywood~

It was morning. Lynn had been up for a few hours, as was her standard routine. Already did a quick jog around Redoarchard that morning, as was also her standard routine. She may have some unhealthy habits like smoking and drinking enough to kill a small pokemon, but that didn't mean she had to let her entire body go to hell, now did it? Nope, jogging and exercising was a definitely therapeutic to the girl. Had to stay in mostly top shape after all, otherwise she couldn't reliably beat some jackass up who she didn't like. That said, she did feel like she was forgetting something.

Something important.

She lowered her headphones from around her ears as a bead of sweat dripped down her forehead. She had just finished taking a rather relaxing morning shower to wipe away that swear from jogging, so the unwelcome drop of sweat made her frown, though it was quickly dealt with thanks to a towel hanging not far from her. Not important tough. What was she forgetting? Something important...something...

oh.

right.

pokemon.

"Oh fucking hell. Why'd I forget that for?!" She angrily huffed to herself as she took a look around her room. A small place, she had rented just for today, actually. She had only been in Redoarchard for that long, after all. She arrived yesterday evening, and the small Inn was the only place where she could stay. Not that she minded, she had plenty of money...sort of. 500$ should have been enough for now at least.

Wasn't time for thinking about how she got here though. Lynn threw the towel into the restroom, and quickly threw on her clothes, including her rather warm fur-trimmed jacket. Not the smartest choice for summer, but damn it if it didn't look cool. Sometimes, looking cool trumped comfort as far as she was concerned. As long as it didn't get some absurd temperature, she'd be fine. Maybe she could get an ice pokemon to start with, anyways, and just have them act as a tiny portable A/C unit.

...pfft, that was actually a pretty neat idea. She might actually do that.

Thoughts for later.

For now, she put on her boots and raced out the door at a full sprint. No way in hell was she taking any more time than she had already wasted. It was already noon almost, and she was certain she was late so the blue haired girl booked it to the center of town. At least, she would have if there was a massive line in front of her. She almost bowled over some girl with braids in the process.

"Fuck..." She cursed under her breath as she saw the line, resting her headphones around her neck. Well, whatever. She got here at the same time as braids, so she could at least get in front of her without too much trouble. So without a word to the other girl, Lynn got in line in front of her. They got here at the same time after all, and if the girl had a problem with it, she didn't particularly care all that much.

Honestly though, just having to wait in line sort of pissed her off. She had never had to do that before. Most of the time, she moved herself to the front since most people tended to sort of...just let it happens. Otherwise, she'd have her friends teach them some 'manners' about how ladies should get first dibs on anything.

...she brushed the thought out of her head, and instead put her headphones on her ears. She hoped this line moved fast, or she'd make it move fast. As if to emphasize her impatience, she folded her arms across her chest, giving a glare at the back of the head of the guy in front of her, almost as if she was trying to will the line to move faster through sheer force of annoyance.
