Okay, well since I am tired and have to go back to bed.... but today is the start day, I thought I would start the discussion now, and the game when I wake up.

First, but very important order of business, How will we handle battles? There a very important aspect of pokemon, but... a few of the details in the game, dont really make much sense, naimly PP and 4 move limit... we need to decide if we wish to keep those, or use an alternative... sorry...

Proposed Solutions.

  • Keep them
  • Make PP and 4 move limit part of Pokemon League rules.
  • Replace PP with something like general stamina, and make 4 moves League Rules...
  • Other, please suggest.

Sorry.

My suggestion:

  • Keep the four move limit in general
    • However, really basic moves like scratching and tackling and punching and other physical actions should be usable by all pokemon without restrictions, as long as it makes sense (I have yet to see a Magneton that can puch people, for instance)

  • Disregard PP, but keep some kind of general Stamina thing for super-powerful attacks where it makes sense that the pokemon can't use them without severely exhausting itself (like Hyper Beam and similar 5PP moves).

These same rules will apply to contests, right?

Speaking of which is Sarah the only co-ordinator in this RP?

I'm pretty sure, Rhyme.

And I prefer making the 4 moves league rules.

So then, would one have to stick to the same 4 moves forever or simply decide on them before each battle?

Le Chuck's rules sound fine to me. So we going to sort out contest rules here?

Hmm... So we're combining anime rules and game rules, with the events structured like the anime, but with the categories of the game, right?

Question: Would it be ok for me to say that Lord Joshua's butler knows and corresponds with Professor Oak? I ask because I can't think of any other reason to send Lord Joshua to Pallet Town...

Um, I dunno, dp, that just kinda adds to the list. Of things that kinda... tip the scale in Mary Sue's favor, you know? I mean, being the only son of a formerly wealthy family who's father has died and mother moves inward while being raised by his personal butler is kinda one thing, but then he is related to the Queen of England, and now to know Professor Oak, even if it is through the butler.

Hense, I dunno if he should know Professor Oak.

Maybe he knows an assistant, indirectly?

Really, I just can't think of any reason why he'd go to Pallet Town of all places...

The contest we set op for the explicit reason of having the characters meet.

So, like twenty posts went by whilst I was typing one.

Curse the ill fortune that led you to me.

Almost everyone signed up for the contest and Terry and Joshua are arguing and about to battle.

Basically, Joshua was being an ass. Terry called him on it. Joshua got irrationally upset.

I actually have to go soon-ish, so I think this may be it to what I do with Joshua, for now...

I'm kinda worried I'm not playing Chiisa serious enough, but she has a one track mind for food. And wasn't meant to be serious anyway.
