Uh...going a bit off-topic, I've been asked to repost my idea for scheduling the remainder of Hoenn.

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13029586310A25120100&page=198#4930

Just read the second idea, as the first is no longer possible unless we alter the leadup to Saturday, make the finale on Sunday, and leave only Monday for tying up loose ends.

Eh, personally I really want to have the anniversary in Sinnoh (it's a nice time to formally introduce Ashley), but I guess that's fine, Every. I just probably won't participate.

Now that I have everyone's selected "Fish/Fish-like" Pokémon, (to which I'm somewhat glad that no-one chose Kyogre) I shall begin my Pokémon White Fisherman Nuzlocke. I will be using Pokégen after getting a new White rom and hacking in Lv. 1 versions of all the Pokémon you selected and naming them after the characters. This does not mean your chosen mon is barred from evolution, but if it does not learn any new moves, it will stick with the original attacks. I will be rotating the mons so that they level up at the same speed and will see if I can't also get in 6 EXP shares to help this. I'm not entirely sure what I'll do for the surviving members of this Nuzlocke, but I'll find something. The run will last until all Trainers are defeated at least once, including post-game ones.

The selected list is as follows:

  • Umbra-Kingdra
  • Anom-Whiscash
  • Straw-Milotic
  • DS-Lumineon
  • Lina-Sharpedo
  • Silent-Lumineon
  • Mezzo-Carvanha
  • Pianis-Lapras
  • Forte-Vaporeon
  • Jeff-Seaking
  • Katie-Goldeen
  • Wolf-Mantine
  • Every-Magikarp
  • Slouch-Remoraid
  • Rex-Feebas
  • Kim-Chinchou
  • Tangent-Wooper
  • Pentigan-Gorebyss
  • Tagg-Lanturn
  • Meddler-Horsea
  • Star-Milotic
  • Tracer-Basculin Blue
  • Gamer-Horsea
  • Fool-Remoraid
  • Malgent-Feebas
  • Crewe-Lanturn
  • Daisy-Finneon

For those with two characters in, priority of safety will go to the main characters of each player.

As an example, Munna is chosen. That's fine and all. But if Musharna would be chosen, it will not learn any more moves. I will not be using TMs at all in this run, so their movepool is simply what they have by level up. If you have a mon you chose that evolves by special item or by trading, you must message me about what levels you desire them to evolve and other specifics. Everything such as stats and nature will be randomly decided by a computer generated multi-sided die.

No, but Gamer and Meddler need to state when they'd like me to evolve Seadra -> Kingdra, and Rex and Malgent have to state when I use the Beauty stone, or whatever it was.

A few notes:

  • I will be offline for much of tomorrow; a make-a-game-in-7-hours thing. Should be fun, and I intend to post a link in the morning you all can use to follow my progress, but will only be reachable by IM at the time.
  • I will probably not be involved in the finale, I have too much on my plate as-is.
  • The stress of a proper finale... I don't think we can do it by Tuesday.
    • we probably could do the Ozone raid and caldera thing by then, if taken as simple plot events and not something everyone has to be slotted into...
  • is it worth maybe smoothly going into Sinnoh/Jothto? Let everyone leave Hoenn once they actually wrap their stuff up?

Luck with the game thing. I've not been in anything similar in three years.

As for planning, I've been thinking of drop my involvement in the finale as well, I'm tiring myself enough as is and the only character of mine who has much of a reason to be there is Ichtacya anyway. On that note perhaps going Sinnoh/Johto on our own schedule plays the better way, at least I'm betting I can go away as late as needed so as to arrive when I have the plot for Kanjoh more or less discussed... tongue

As for the finale design I mostly stand by some of the minor points I've made on the design, namely that hopefully we can bring NP Cs and actual people-living-in-the-RP in, and that, well, hopefully it can be carried out in a way we can all meaningfully contribute to. But perhaps I should not care about that anylonger.

Luck again, I guess.

On-Topic Stuff

"Finale" Plot Discussion

The branches we have established are as follows:

  • 1)Confront Charon and try stop the Caldera
  • 2)Confront the Teams, proceed to arrests, quell infighting, etc
  • 3)Protect the populace from the incoming disaster
  • 4)Whatever Tracer and Luke and Silent can plan

What we want is:

  • 1)To not have a damage sponge final boss.
  • 2)To not have simply Tagg, Fool, and DS finish the plot while everyone else spectates.
  • 3)To not have everyone doing the same thing.
  • 4)To avoid a war.

Actions in consideration:

  • 1)Raid against Ozone to free the mini-trio.
  • 2)Stopping/Stalling the Eruption.
    • 2a)Groundhog's Day loop involving the Eruption.
  • 3)Holding off the Anniversary until a later time and claiming that we were on time.
  • 4)Stopping whatever stuff Neo Team Aqua and Neo Team Magma are doing so they can join us against Ozone.
  • 5)Both the natural and mini Weather Trios band together to stop the calamities. Neither group is sacrificed.

Things to take into account:

  • Ozone does not necessarily have to be evil.
  • Protecting the populace means keeping the peace, be it from uprisings of the common folk, attacks from any of the teams, or the natural disaster of the eruption.
  • Whatever the Neo Team Aqua and Neo Team Magma groups are doing does not have to involve battling.
  • Branches 1 and 2 are preferred to take place concurrently.
  • As the Caldera eruption may involve the surrounding areas or even across all of Hoenn, remember to mind what NP Cs you may control.
  • Charon may or may not be a threat.

Stuff Tangent needs to sort out.

  • Rufus complaining about being caught in Anja's and Ichtacya's crossfire
  • Basket's Mindscape
  • Rosary doing fanart stuff
  • Using Rufus's tracker to FIND Anja
  • Mirage Island
  • Something involving Aqua, he's not sure what
  • PEFE soul stuff

Idea

Maybe we can deal with Ozone this weekend? Sort of like how we did the AU finale, we'd have part 1 tomorrow, and stop the caldera from happening next weekend?

Okay, if anyone wants to follow along with what I'm up to today: http://tangent128.name/quickgame/hummingbird/liveblog.html

Edit: technically, the caldera thing is more a way to give the minilegends a sense of place in the world, right? So a lot of the group could leave for Sinnoh before then if desired...

Pika: Sounds like fun. But I'll let you decide when you want Horsea!Meddler to evolve. It's your nozlocke, after all.tongue

And as for the finale,. . . it's safe to say I'm out. But I've got a question. When I rejoin the RP after assessments are over(in a month or so), would it be alright if Meddler's reason for being away was because she was busy becoming a Hoenn champion? We know she can do it, seeing as she's already a Sinnoh champion. Or would it not make sense, plot wise? Please let me know.

Oh, and Meddler WILL have new members of her team when she comes back, in addition to Kylee and Jack, her Skarmory and. . . whatever we said Jack was.tongue

OK, peoplemons, listen up, because we're talkin' 'bout a DISTRIBUTION!

For my birthday in a couple months (April 10, If I'm still around by then) I'm going to do an Egg giveaway, similar to Fool's Christmas one, but with predetermined Pokemon. Judging from the Pokemon that should be on both my team and Lina's team by then, I've come up with this list...

Sableye: Offspring of Styx (Sableye) and Xavier (Alakazam)

Vullaby: Daughter of Yomi (Mandibuzz) and Xu (Archeops)

Snorunt: Offspring of Abel (Raichu) and Jadis (Froslass)

Horsea: Offspring of Alduin (Hydregion) and Tiamat (Kingdra)

Treecko: Offspring of Nazz (Sceptile) and Smaug (Charizard)

Riolu: Offspring of Reynard (Zoroark) and a female Lucario (either NPC or player-owned)

One other: Offspring of one of my male 'mons and a Ditto (either NPC or player-owned)

One other: Offspring of one of my male mons and the most interesting mate of anyone's choice. (The one who chooses the most interesting mate gets the egg.)

I'm just posting to see who would be interested in obtaining these eggs. You can determine anything aside from species when you obtain them.

So, there was some planning talk on the subject of raiding TO to rescue Depthcharge and Buggle. The idea is to have them rescued during tomorrow (Sunday for me, at least) so that we can extend the finale more calmly by refocusing on the weather anomalies and us spreading around to try to trace their source, which will eventually lead us to find out what Charon is doing and trying to warn or protect the general population as well.

Potentially anyone who wants to can join for the rescue operation, though we also have to probably to check up to control some NPCs. Specifically Ozone Ozealots for whom we have to remind to design this in a way that is not just all of us barging in and making our way through unopposed.

There is also the issue of keeping First!Rayquaza away from the action for tomorrow. Short discussion of the matter has emerged some ideas, like sending in hordes and hordes of Rotom (which honestly doesn't sound like a bad idea), having Rayquaza receive a SOS from outer space (...), or having him be challenged by a certain foreign Salamence (there is anime precedent and I am confident that Foreign!mence can buy us a couple of hours), or having him go elsewhere to save his Deoxys Friend (like in the anime movie).

Finally, since essentially Vyvyan is an Event Rayquaza, Every and others were suggesting giving him V-Create.

Comments?

In terms of making the Ozone battle a bit different, how about making it a stealth mission? Sneaking through the halls, trying to avoid being caught, etc. It would also allow for anyone who isn't there to take control of a Grunt, and give them some personality.

Rotom, or outer space sound fine, to me. Rotom because they seem to be the only things in the world that will put up with Charon, and outer space, because the Unown have a penchant for making things more complicated for us than they need to be, and they are sometimes in outer space.

And yes, I agree that Vyvyan should be the 15th Anniversary Rayquaza (mostly because it's so close to our own anniversary, that it's too good not to).

I can make an Ozealot for this occasion to help balance the sides a bit.

I also approve of Event Rayquaza, but hope that there'll be something to imply Vyvyan's lack of control of the form.

I also approve of the Event Rayquaza thing.

As for what Pikaninja brings up... Maybe he could have some trouble judging how powerful some of his attacks are? Or finding that his ability to cancel out the weather from the weather machines during the confrontation with Charon only extends to a few areas (like some towns/cities and the routes between them, or something) without exhausting himself too much, so that the original Rayquaza has to help clear up the rest of the weather?

@ Silent: V-create Vyvquaza FTW.

As for Originalquaza, I say Foreignmence. Though he could also get involved with Torny and Thundy. If that's not an option, they could be part of the finale.

What DS said sounds good. However, do we need Fool around to do the Ozone Raid? because I can rarely be on at the same time as her, and I really want to participate.

I thought it was pretty funny that Gamer started this on a random Tuesday. . . then I realized he started it on a Monday.tongue

It might have been very important to Gamer, but to me. . . it was Monday.
