The Pokemon Trainer Academy (OOC) (NEW!)

[Fuyu]

Ciel is too terrified and currently in recovery or he might take that class. Skye could take it, though he probably wouldn't do well. All part of the fun.

It's a class that's basically about using your pokemon to help the community and may involve things like community service, exploration of mysterious dungeons and even search and rescue~ Hint hint.

This particular class is relevant to the overarching plot in that it's meant to train students for future dangers, and will be it's own mini plot in that I believe others might find it fun. That being said, it will take significantly longer than most other classes, and be treated more like a field trip.

Not everyone can take it at once, but certain people will be taking it each day.

.

Me! Me! I wanna try that! Sounds fun and awesome!
Anyway, if the day ends soon, does that mean it's night time already?
If the day ends, it just seems so quick compared to the 1 month+ real time in one day doesn't it?

Regardless, so many people are here! Thank god I'm just a roleplayer, don't the GM's have a hard time with this many people?

[PkMnTrainer Yellow]

@pokepokemo: Yessir, it's already night. It's somewhere around 8-9 PM. RPing on an IC day by day basis is actually kind of hard, since posting in RP takes waaaaay longer than doing the same thing IRL. Hence, going by days results in each day taking forever to complete one day's worth of IC time. (To be honest, I probably would rather avoid doing so in future RPs. I'd also rather not change PTA too much unless people really want it to, seeing as it seems to be working very well.)

Well, there /are/ two GMs in this RP compared to most which have only one. We also get help from the RPers themselves with keeping track of what's going on and what might need our attention. Overall, yes it can be a bit difficult. However, as long as we don't let the work pile up and do it as it comes it's not /too/ painful.

NOTICE:

I must apologize for my two week absence, with no warning.Two weeks ago, on Friday, I came home from school to find an eviction notice. We spent all of that weekend packing everything up and then moving to a new place. Unfortunately, this place has no internet connection. Until it does, my posts will be scarce, but I will try to remain at least somewhat frequent. I apologize for my inconvenience, and for my inability to warn anyone; I hope I didn't hold back any characters for too long. As of now, I am using a school computer to use PokeCommunity, and that may be my only option for some time. Again, I apologize for my inconvenience.

[PkMnTrainer Yellow]

@Zerin: Sorry to hear that buddy. Here's hoping you get situated in the near future.

@Everyone: This is the final warning to get ready for a new day. I will be sending the announcement for the day ending sometime in the evening tomorrow before midnight. At that point I expect everyone's next post to detail their character going to bed, regardless of how long it takes them to get there. (See: Your last post can be long and your character can do stuff in it, but the last post is the last post, which means it must have them going to sleep and optionally waking up in the morning.)

Who is taking what classes will be posted here when the day ends.

[jasonwolf]

um... ok since we never got around to Jason (I never gave yout he link tot eh post like you asked sry) where do I send him? is there a teacher dorm or what?

[PkMnTrainer Yellow]

@JasonWolf: I tried. Many teachers buy houses in Oak Town what with their HUGE teacher discounts. However, for those that cannot/choose not to there is free loving quarters within the academy. The teacher's living quarters have somewhat larger, more furnished rooms with some common electrical appliances aroujd such as TVs. There's also a teacher's lounge you list pass through when going to and from the teacher's living quarters with all sorts of cooking appliances you won't find anywhere else but the cafeteria.

[jasonwolf]

alright then. where is that on the school grounds?

Oh thank Arcues! I'll get to know which classes Kilik will take-oh darn! He never got any rare candy. :D Oh well, not important!

[PkMnTrainer Yellow]

@Jasonwolf: Specifically? It's like, part of the main building. Other than that feel free to use your imaination.

@ShinyDiamond: It only takes 1 post to have your character go bug NPCs for rare candies, since you can control them in the same post. You've got time.

[jasonwolf]

trust me that bit helped. I had previously gotten the idea of them beign a slightly more seperate building that stood alone as a teacher's dorm.

[Sir Bastian]

I'm curious about something, I saw an earlier battle where a Quilava, I think, combined a Quick Attack and Ember to make a new kind of attack. Is this combining of attacks that the Pokémon knows allowed?

[jasonwolf]

that was me. My character background is that Isaac(my trainer) spends all his time working on his tactics. He devoted his all time to it ever since he got his first pokemon. also its technically not a new attack it's just using more then one at once, and Isaac gives a name to the tactic so he can just say the tactic instead of naming the combination.

[Sir Bastian]

Yeah, exactly! I think that's pretty brilliant, and you can come up with some pretty cool mix-ups. I've got a perfect idea for myself, then :3 Thanks Jason!

[PkMnTrainer Yellow]

@Sir Bastian: It is, though I would caution that not every attack can be combined without becoming godmodding. For instance, mind reader and a one hit KO. Obviously that would be a problem, right?

Here's the rule of thumb. Only priority attacks should be combo'd, such as quick attack, extremespeed, protect, etcetera. This is because they're so quick to deploy that they generally outspeed any pokemon hoping to interrupt the combo with an attack of their own. The exception to this is if the enemy pokemon is extremely slow compared to yours or paralyzed (Which would /make/ them extremely slow.)

In which case you can just wail on them with two attacks instead of one.

That's the fair way to go about it anyway.

Name: Zora Loa

Nickname Zola

Age: 14

Gender: Female

Dorm: Suicune

Appearance:

Personality: She is a very sweet girl that loves Pokemon. Even though she is in the Suicune dorm doesn't man that she is all evil and stuff. Zora is also very charismatic to people that she knows. She's usually always very cheerful and upbeat and seems to be bit of a tomboy as well. One look at her and you couldn't tell that she was a part of the Suicune Dorm . She hates it when people call her out on her mistakes.
Zora often rebelled against her captors because of this guilt in favor of trying to redeem herself by helping someone, sometimes leading to her being a damsel in distress. Rebelling and constantly switching sides caused Zora's determination and drive to grow significantly. She almost never switches sides anymore but she still acts like a damsel in distress. She is also apparently very talented with her drawing. She sometimes falls in love easily. She can also get very hurt when she falls in love with the wrong person. She hopes that one day she will find the right guy.

History: Zora grew up in the Unova region even if she was alone. She was taken in when she was around 10 by a passing family that saw her by the trash crying and alone. They took he into their home and fed her well everyday. When she was eleven she went onto become a Pokemon trainer but as soon as she got her first pokemon her dad denied her and she wasn't able to go on her adventure. Then one day she snuck away and went off on her journey but failed horribly and her Pokemon was taken from her by team Plasma members. She fought efortlessly to get her pokemon back and evantually ended up getting hurt and that landed her in the hospital. When she finally got all better her parents went out to find the theif who stole her Pokemon but sadly only came back with one of the three of them. She then sent out on her journey again and saw the grunts that took her Pokemon got promoted to co-leaders. She battled them and got help from the Striaton town Gym leadrs and recovered her stolen Pokemon. She was finally happy again that is until she challenged the gym and lost to them. She felt really sad and even thought about returning her pokemon back into the wild but decided not to after seeing how happy she made them. She was looking through the newspaper n her 14th birthday and saw something about a trainer school run by Gary Oak from the Kanto Region. She was ecstatic because she could hone her skills and she finally got enough courage to apply and surprisingly she was accepted on her first try. She packed her bags and went to catch the boat to the academy.

Hey! Kilik has the same class with Daniel (Sir Bastian)! :D What a coincidence! Can't wait! I'll post tomorrow so I have more time.

[Sir Bastian]

Awh yeah, class with Killik \o/ I'm guessing community and vigilante is the rescue team kind of class.

I'll wait with posting until a couple others has as well, so I know kind of how to post xP

[Mr. Mammoth]

Mining? Well, seems like Maxwell will pay VERY close attention to what the teacher has to say. And by very close, I mean that he will probably sleep through the class. But hey! Jerkface Calith is also there! This'll be entertaining...
