Hello all, and welcome to the interest thread for a Pokémon RP I am planning to run on the forum. Roleplay elements, most battles against wild pokémon, and certain puzzle battles will take place in the IC thread once I make one. All other battles will use a web battling program. I haven't settled on one yet, as I have multiple options, and I want to consider them carefully.
The game will PROBABLY take place in a slightly expanded Unova and outlying areas (think the difference between Kanto in the original games and later generations.). If for some reason I do not pick Unova, it will be because I have gone totally crazy and decided to make my own region.
Each player will start with a single unevolved pokemon. By default, I am saying that if it has a 35% or higher encounter rate, you can pick it. Your character's home is relatively close to the place it can be found at the indicated encounter rate. All players will also start at the professor's lab, to become registered, or to get their registration in the system for Unova, if they're foreign.
If you are from Unova, that means you have a home you can go to, and, when you register, you may have a chance to get one of the Unova starters. Depending on how many people are from Unova, I may have different rules regarding the how. If you are not from Unova, you do not have a chance to get a traditional starter, you do not have a home you can return to easily, your first pokemon will start at a slightly higher level, and you will need to reference your map often.
Now, I said "by default", so exceptions: If you want to roll a d100, you can change that rate ONCE. If you get a 72, too bad. If you get a 100, I will consider that a 00, and you may even pick things with fractional encounter rates, or things that show up on specific squares, like feebas. If you want something from the dream radar or suchlike, ask me about it specifically and I will probably say yes. If you want something that can be purchased, I will consider the price, deduct something from your starting cash, and send you on your way. If you want something that is supposedly everywhere by fluff but in practice can only be found by doing some specific action like headbutting a tree or breaking a rock and therefor does not have an encounter rate, let me know what you want and how you get it. If it or an evolved form of it can be found in a safari zone, including a friend safari, you can pick the least evolved form as a starter if you are from the town that safari zone is attached to, even if the encounter rate is below your limit.
If you think I missed something, and you have a good reason for picking a pokémon these rules don't let you start with, let me know.
My current plan is to run the game in the SFW section, but if I hear enough support for putting the game in the NSFW section, I will. Please be aware either way that I am not running the game with the intention of it being NSFW. If your character is too young, I will ignore any requests to move to the nsfw section.
Unova pokemon are level 5, all others are level seven. You may have a hidden ability OR one egg move, which is subject to approval.
