The Escapist Avatar Adventure: An Open RP (Now Re-Opened!)

[bluerocker]

Spoiler: Leet

Uh, I did say Legality mattered. Level to gain a move, not so much, but can the pokemon learn those moves via TM/HM or naturally? If so, no beef is given, but otherwise, I'm gonna have to ask you to change. I said this in the chat.
EDIT: I checked the first two and they're legal; however... The last one... We're sticking to Gen 3... On top of that, our Powers manifested as the pokemon! That was the whole fun of the arc! Anyways, if you have any questions, go to the AA chat, and ask me there; that's the point of the damn thing. (Mcpop told me I could GM this arc)

Angelus helped Hiryu onto her back, and Caim patted Sword. "Good job, Sword. I'll keep that Rock Smash move in mind next time we battle against something."
Sword grinned, and then winced at his fire wound. Caim placed him back in the Pokeball, with a promise heal his new teammates later.

He made sure Hiryu was able to hold on to Angelus, and they went to the clinic of eccentric trainers (as Caim thought of it) once more. There was the usual healing process, and being questioned by the nurse about what caused the wounds of the Pokemon and trainer. After some explanation; the nurse gave her usual fussing about how trainers are getting too passionate in their journeys and what not. The two men took the light verbal abuse with pride, knowing that their victory was a well earned one. When they were able to leave, Caim clapped a hand on Hiryu's shoulder;
"You helped me find my sword, and hold him off while I was coming to get it. I'm both impressed and grateful. Thanks. I owe you one."
Hiryu nodded at this acknowledgement; and the two went outside. Upon the sight of the distressed humans, Angelus asked, "What's going on... Why is your little pack lessened?

Dillon saw the rocket officer, his eyes got a fire in them.
Dillon released Aerodactyl, getting on his back.
"Oh Shadow one more thing."
the Aerodactyl snapped its jaws barely an inch away from his face
"Never pull out a gun again, and never ever try to hurt Stella."
The Aerodactyl growled, it was simple connections, it liked Dillon, Dillon liked Stella.
"You know I'm going to name my Pokemon, I'll call you Achondrite, and I'll call my Gengar Grin.
Dillon then turned to Caim and Angelus.
"I think your the only others who can fly, If you want top help your welcome to join me."
with that Dillon flew, the checkpoint couldn't stop him when he simply flew right over there heads.
besides who would be dumb enough to try and stop a prehistoric flying monstrosity.

Dillon tracked down the rocket grunt he released Grin
"Tail him like a shadow."
grin obliged melding itself with the officers shadow.

Caim watched in confusion as Dillon tailed off, and looked to Amaya and Shadow; "So.... What's going on? Ah!"
He pulled out the pokeball with the Houndoom and allowed it out. It looked at Caim for a moment, and licked his hand apologetically. Caim smiled and said, "How do you like the name, Comet?" The Houndoom smiled and barked lightly. Caim turned back to the other two and waited for a response.

"Don't steal my gun and we won't have a problem" Shadow muttered to himself. "I don't know what to do and honestly I just want out of this place" he said. He looked off where Dillion had went " who knows how to get out of this place? If no one does I say we track down those legendary creatures".

Assuming that we're sticking to Gen3, what else could I have done, besides stay dormant? Double Team people to death? Oh, and in case you've forgotten - Evil Team higher-ups have a thing about illegally evolved Pokemon, even if you don't!

Didn't you see? I'm not involved in this any more. Besides not knowing much about Pokemon, I also can't read. What incentive is there for me to stay?

Just checking if the Eevee capture was still going ahead and if Hiryu should react to it like the others did

Look leet, I don't care if you're using pokemon that are illegally evolved, but that doesn't change what moves a pokemon can and cannot use. It just means a pokemon is at a different evolution than it should be at an earlier time. I said that if a pokemon could use a move via TM or HM rather than a natural level up, it was okay. Calm Down. I'm not trying to antagonize, I'm just making sure the rules are being followed.

 

[NerfedFalcon]

Spoiler: OOC

You also said we're sticking to Gen 3. Which basically takes every game in the series I've actually played and have it start singing Weird Al Yankovic at me. Besides, despite my lack of knowledge about the earlier games, I do know there aren't any 'illusion' Pokemon that early, except maybe Gengar (who Dillon is already using), and Buneary/Lopunny is definitely Gen 4.

 

[bluerocker]

Spoiler: leet

You can still use Gen 1 and 2 Pokemon; Gen 3 is just a capstone for Pokemon and movesets. Also, Bulbapedia is a wonderful resource for legalities. I think Abra/Kadabra/Alakazam , Drowzee, and Hypno are illusion based as well... Or are you saying you don't know anything about Gen 1-3?

 

[NerfedFalcon]

Spoiler: OOC

I just said I know very little from before Gen 4. And Bulbapedia doesn't say in the 'Learnable moves' list what generation each move first appeared in, or what's learned at different levels in different generations. Sure, I could be OCD enough to look at each move individually and write down exactly everything about it - except I'm not that OCD, so...

Net result: I have no place in this arc and I was even more of a fucking moron than I usually am to think otherwise.

 

[bluerocker]

Spoiler: leet

...There are links to different movesets per generation, how they're learned (TM vs Natural) and levels they are gained at if natual. However, you need to have the Pokemon in mind to make sure. For example, on the Gengar page, there are links for the movesets available for each generation, what level it would be gained at, and whether it is a TM/Natural move.

 

[NerfedFalcon]

Spoiler: Oh really?

...fuck.

Still.

If I can't write Pokemon and their legal movesets, TM/level (so no wild Pokes learn TM moves) on the fly, that means I'll probably get out-posted by the others. Unless I post in off-peak, then only come back on after you guys have moved on another two pages without me (which you do in pretty much every arc when I'm not in the middle of a school holiday like I am right now, only I'm too ignorant of early Pokemon to take part in this one...)

And that being the case (which it is), why do I bother being a "regular" here?

 

[bluerocker]

Spoiler: leet

Well, Legality mainly means can the pokemon use the move at all. Level doesn't really matter for the movesets; but general good judgement should be used (ie level 1 Charmander shouldn't know flamethrower).

Finally, don't get so snippy that arcs move ahead of you. It just means you don't post very much and others did moreso; which happens. Hell, it happens to me on weekends all the time. We do have lives, you know, so it's only natural something is missed. The first page even state that it's okay to even only post ONCE, provided it moves the story along. Just hop in and say "Here I am, I am doing X" and the forum will accept it (within reason).

 

[NerfedFalcon]

Spoiler: Thing is...

There's a difference between only posting once in a while and moving the story slightly, even when everyone else is now in a completely different city to you and has gone through two entire plot points that you have the time and patience to read through several pages of explanation for, and being ninja'd, which is the more likely occurrence in my case. And is VERY likely to happen if I stop and check the G3 movelist for every single Pokemon I decide to have a random trainer be packing - someone else will have already defined, beaten and walked straight past said trainer when I press 'post', making me look like the complete retard my Jupiter-size ego would rather have me not look like, and who constantly gets disappointed by the rest of me.

 

[NerfedFalcon]

A couple of posts just disappeared - trying to make them reappear...

 

[bluerocker]

Spoiler: leet

Same thing happens to me; but from the way you put all that, I take it a lot better than you do. If you're going to do a long post; it helps to copy what you're writing, refresh, and see if anything's changed. Also, if you know for a fact a Pokemon has a move, like a Chamander knows Ember, then it should be fine. Besides, why put that much work into a random NPC that is meant to be demolished? If it's a boss, then I understand.

All in all, I'm getting the vibe you're over-thinking all of this and taking it far too seriously. An RP is meant to be fun and the rules are to make sure no one cheats. Chill out, and keep trying. That's the best advice I think I can give you at the moment.
