Pokemon: The Omega League (Discussion)

Signup thread is here. Main thread is here.

Hello, everyone, this is AllHailThrall and this is the discussion thread for Pokemon: The Omega League! Any questions, curiosities, and information can be posted here. I will also be posting information regarding the world of this game in this thread as well.

Tuloh is a region of mysteries and adventure. To the south, forests dotted with ancient secrets and mystical Pokemon abound. To the north, the lush greenery gives way to icy mountains and craggy cliff routes. Tuloh is somewhat cold, similar in climate to the Sinnoh region far to the east.

Here◊ is the map. The white numbers in the image are Route numbers, while the yellow numbers are where Tuloh's gyms are located.

so, gonna immediately put this out there - are we gonna have a Discord server for the thread? Even if it's not open yet, they're good ways to organise and have small-scale discussions about the game

I don't see why not have a Discord server. It will probably be a bit before the Discord server gets up, though. Once it's up, I'll DM invites.

The game is live! As a reminder, signups will remain open for those who are still working on their characters or for those who have yet to sign up.

Would it be allowed to use a Honedge as an actual sword in Pokemon Battles?

Official League-sanctioned battles in the Tuloh region forbid the trainer from participating in Pokemon battles directly. This includes Gym battles, and battles between registered trainers.

Even if this were allowed by the Pokemon League, it wouldn't be allowed by the Honedge in question. Honedge's Pokedex entry from Y states:

So if your trainer were to hypothetically attempt to wield a Honedge in battle, the Honedge would attack them. Thus, no on both fronts.

Hello my fellow RPers! ^^ I’m sure many of you, like myself enjoy RPing in Pokémon: The Omega League a lot. However, inspired by WAAPT, I recently thought of an idea that could not only add to the story of the RP, but also add a bit more to the anime-feel of it. For now, let me present to you…

The Team Ouro Introduction Arc

Now, the basic idea behind this potential arc for the RP is to not only introduce an evil team for it (mainly since I’ve always felt like having one for the RP could push it to new highs and even cooler fights >:3), but also so that we can have an ongoing story along with all of the ones happening between multiple players.

Basically, Team Ouro’s main goal is to summon an ancient Pokémon known only as "The Mending Serpent" (real name Rezurboros), which is said to have existed in the ancient times of Tuloh, worshipped as a deity that could bless people and Pokémon with eternal life and special abilities.

Rezurboros (which would essentially be TOL’s Box Legendary) would be a Dragon/Steel dual-type, and it’s signature move is “Mugen Spiral”, where Rezurboros spins around it’s opponent at supersonic speed and fires off multiple laser blasts, dealing 110 base damage and has a 75% chance of making an opponent flinch after. It looks like a giant, well, Ouroboros, having teal markings and steel wings all over it’s body. It’s main body is lengthy and violet-colored. Btw, I do plan on adding an actual image of it soon since… well, it would definitely help to have a visualization of it.

The main reason that Team Ouro wants to summon Rezurboros (besides the usual evil team shenanigans) would be because in their eyes, by summoning and finding a way to control it, they could bring peace to the world since there would be no death, harm, etcetera. People would be able to live forever. Most of them genuinely believe in this goal, especially since the leader of Team Ouro (known only as the Serpent’s Hand) promised everyone that she’d bring their loved ones back.

This however, isn’t the goal.

The goal is actually to grant Team Ouro and ONLY Team Ouro eternal life, creating an unstoppable army of eternal Trainers to take over the world. Not only that, but anyone who defected after finding out Team Ouro’s true goals would be… disposed of.

That’s all I’ve got for now. I hope you all like the idea!

There's interesting ideas to that, but that's kind of the GM's job. Also I think Thrall already has his own evil team plans for later in the game. Maybe he'll consider some of those ideas though.

What Firock Finion said. I have my own plot ideas and I'm not including any Fakemon into the game. I want this to be as accessible to people as possible without having to learn entirely fake Pokemon. That's also why I ultimately decided not to include fake regional forms either, which was something I was heavily considering for a long time.

This game is actually based partway on a fangame I created years earlier but never made public. As it stands, it already has a plotline, you guys just haven't gotten to it yet. I was going to introduce it relatively soon. And yes, I already have not one but two evil teams on the way.

I'm honestly not thrilled with the comparisons to WAAPT. I already felt like I was being derivative to WAAPT what with making a longform Pokemon RP on TV Tropes, and feeling like I couldn't hold up to the standard set by such a long-established game. I've been assured by multiple people that Omega League is not like WAAPT, but I can't help but feel like I'm copying their homework, as it were.

I apologize if it feels like I'm shutting down your ideas. It's not my intention. I just have a plan in place, is all. Thank you for your feedback and I'm glad you're enjoying the game.
