Sorry about that - visitor at the door :(

Swithdas June 24th, 2016 8:22 AM

Can I just clear something up - are we battling with no restrictions so our pokemon are at the level cap or normal battle so theyre all set to 50?

I've only battled twice but they were both no-restriction battles. We can change it though, depending how we all feel.

Living Arrow June 24th, 2016 8:24 AM

Good point - I didn't know that was something in the settings. I think I asked before but wasn't sure how it worked. If you'd like a rematch then I understand.

Yeah all 4 of my battles have been no restriction but I wasn't sure if others wanted to battle just set at 50..

Sweet battle man! Good opening play with your Linoone! Looking forward to the next battle!

Alright so that takes me up to 5 wins from 5, Feeling good ^^

Living Arrow June 24th, 2016 8:38 AM

Greenie - that is a rather unexpected Shroom you have there ;) great battle - I thought your combusken/Taillow would sweep me for sure!

And Rez/Coffee - thanks! My linoone is proving to be my most useful battler at the moment. Not sure if you knew for these games, but TMs don't break after you use them anymore :) if your grovyle knew Rock Tomb then I think things would have been a lot different!

I think a few of my battles were at level 50, but I just assumed that it's still more or less the same as if we battled at level 20, so I didn't really care.

Just to also mention, I'm still paused after acquiring the first badge. My main pokemon team is still level 20, I haven't even walked into the second gym yet. I've just been messing around trying to find the perfect Nincada, and playing all the various mini games.

I do think you're right though, maybe the dead line should be shortened to 3 days. I originally suggested a week, because I wasn't sure how much time I could work the game into my work week plus the other various activities that take up my time. Though it seems to be a lot faster than I thought.

Swithdas June 24th, 2016 8:52 AM

I think 3 days is fair but after signups are closed, if everyone agrees and is up to the same part before the 3 days then we could possibly move on? Only if every member involved is at the same cap of course! If not there's plenty of Pokemon to be caught :)

Not sure if you're still on anymore, but if you wanted to fight again with the level cap at 20 instead of 50, let me know. I'm still free until 1.
Oh! I totally had unbreakable tm's when I played "White", but it's been so long that I seriously did forget! Whoa... that just made me realize I can probably build my future team totally different. ...lol.
I might add Rock Tomb to Beezley's move pool once we move on to the second badge, I don't want to suddenly change it now since it might add an unfair advantage to make the challenge different for the others that I haven't battled yet. Still, advice duly noted! :D

BlackTalon June 24th, 2016 12:49 PM

I think we should do 4 days. I know, one day shouldn't make much of a difference, but if someone has a particularly busy work week than the 3 day deadline will become a burden. I think 4 days is a nice compromise.

destinedjagold June 25th, 2016 2:29 AM

While I have no problems with the new number of days deadline, I might have trouble battling anyone during the weekdays. :/

Anyway, I'm about to challenge Roxanne. After that, I'll be leveling my team to level 20 and then challenge anyone who's available. :3

edit: My current team is Grovyle (Tiki), Poochyena (Star) and Beautifly (Noodle (don't ask)).

stzy June 25th, 2016 8:28 AM

Alright so are most people at the second badge now? Or right after it?

Living Arrow June 25th, 2016 8:57 AM

I'm at the badge but if you're free for a battle, Jim, then I'm available :)

Still level 20 with only one badge. I really want to fight everyone before moving on.

So if we try to shorten the deadline to four days, maybe we should organize it so that the playing days to meet the deadline are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, with Thursday being the deadline. Then we should use Friday, Saturday, and Sunday as the days for battling one another.
I feel like we can all play the game comfortably in our free time during the four week days, but since a bunch of us are too busy to fight one another during the main week days, we could probably better organize to meet and battle online during the weekend days starting with Friday.
What do you all think?

Living Arrow June 25th, 2016 9:02 AM

I'm happy with that proposal but there are areas of the game with tiny amounts of gameplay between badges (e.g. Roxane-Brawly and Flannery-Norman) which take so much less time than four days to go between. Maybe we could be more specific for each section of the game and have a literal list of dates to work to that matches the flow of the game?

BlackTalon June 25th, 2016 10:53 AM

Jim, it looks like everyone besides danica and jagold are at 1 badge with level 20 pokemon currently.

I think this is a really good idea. It's still about a week until we can move on to the next badge, but it feels more organized using days of the weeks rather than actual dates.

This is also true. Why don't we say four days default, and then we can use game guides such as this one to determine the next deadline before we begin. Would that work for everyone?

So sorry I never saw this :( I'm available all of tonight. I'll keep my web-browser open so I stay online; if you don't see me online on the 3DS, shoot me a message on here!

destinedjagold June 25th, 2016 3:12 PM

There's a mode in online singles that'll auto-level our 'mons to 50, right? If there is, then I'm ready to battle anyone. Feeling kinda lazy to level my two level18s to 20 atm. :P I'll be adding everyone's FCs now.

My gf is gonna be home soon so just let me like, chill with her for a little bit so she can't bitch later ;) I'll be on within an hour or two, I hope you're still online! If not another time :)

EDIT: Actually I'm gonna come online until she's home

Alright. Just add my FC then. I've added everyone who's part of this group adventure thingie. ^^

stzy June 25th, 2016 4:11 PM

Good battle man! Finished with the critical Quick Attack, ouuu ;) It's funny that PC went down right as we finished. We can not count that one if you wanted, just because your Pokemon weren't actually level 20. And when you're grinding that much, 2 levels is actually a considerable amount of EVs.

stzy June 25th, 2016 4:23 PM

Oh yeah and guys lol I was fucking around with the DexNav and found a shiny Ralts on a chain of three :o I'm probably going to evolve it into the male form of Gardevoir (I forget his name) and add it to my team after the fourth badge. Anyway I'm available for battles all night. PM me or just ask for a battle if I'm online on PSS.

Living Arrow June 25th, 2016 9:37 PM

OMG shiny! Congrats!!! I have a shiny Gallade too but he was caught by Pokeradar chaining on Pearl. Called him Sgt. Pepper :) he now is on my shiny hunting team as my false swiper

destinedjagold June 25th, 2016 10:05 PM

Anyone up for a battle? I prefer the levels are set to 50 cuz I still have two members of my team whom are levels18 atm. :3

stzy June 26th, 2016 4:50 AM

I'll battle with a few different Pokemon if you wanted? And I'm sure most of you know, but you can re-battle trainers along the routes. And you can use the AreaNav to figure out who's ready for a rematch. Makes grinding a lot easier.

Tomorrow is the last day to get the Stone badge. How long are we going to set for the Knuckle badge? I'm going to suggest a day or two just because there is very little in-game content between the two badges. What y'all think?

That seems fine to me, I really want to make some progress in this game!
So far I've fought:
Jim(Devon) - Loss
Living Arrow(David) - Loss
GreenLegend56(GreenLegend) - Loss
BlackTalon(BlackTalon) - Win

So I've got three losses and one win. Now I just need to fight danica and destinedjagold and then I can continue on. I will be free to battle almost all day today, so if danica or jagold are looking to fight I am free for it.

stzy June 26th, 2016 8:46 AM

Same here. There's only so much hunting and super training you can do XD the only people I have left to fight I believe are Arrow, Danica and... maybe Black Talon? I can't remember if we battled yet or not :s this week has been so crazy for me.

stzy June 26th, 2016 9:03 AM

Ahhhh good battle man, you got me. I never knew Grotle was grass/ground until that battle! Learning something new every day lol. So I think the only people I have to battle are Danica and Black Talon.

Living Arrow June 26th, 2016 9:05 AM

Grotle isn't - it's pure Grass :)

But damn that was close. Your Taillow and Lombre both caught me off guard!!! What's with those moves!? LOL.

stzy June 26th, 2016 9:10 AM

Whoa wait WHAT? Lmao it is only grass! Damnnn... oh well, now I know for next time. And yeah I got lucky and caught a Tailow with Boomburst... it doesn't have great Sp. Atk but the base power is like 140 or something so it's good for the beginning battles :) I also didn't let my Lotad evolve until level 18 so it learned Mega Absorb... just something better than Absorb. I usually have it holding a Pecha berry, too, so Natural Power turns into electricity and, sometimes, I can take out flying types.

BTW your Linoone and Grotle are nuts dude. That was the closest battle I've fought yet. My palms were actually sweating at one point... as soon as I saw how little damage Peck did to Grotle I was like, "... fuck.". If I had known he was only grass I might have tried Flame Charge LMAO. That was crazy fun though. I forgot to edit your win in, I'm going to do that now.

stzy June 26th, 2016 9:16 AM

ALSO, IF I DON'T HAVE THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF WINS POSTED FOR ANYONE, PLEASE LET ME KNOW AND I'LL CHANGE IT.

Living Arrow June 26th, 2016 9:59 AM

I have 3 wins (Jim, Talon, Coffee) and 1 loss (Greenie) :)

BlackTalon June 26th, 2016 11:37 AM

I currently don't have any wins :( I've lost to Arrow, Coffee, and GreenLegend.

BlackTalon June 26th, 2016 11:46 AM

GG Jim, My team is super weak to taillow right now. You better believe I'm changing it up for the next badge haha

stzy June 26th, 2016 11:46 AM

Good battle Black Talon! I think it was only due to luck I won... if you'd hit my Taillow with that Rock Tomb it would have been a totally different outcome.

Hey man, it's all good, don't be so down on yourself or your team, all of us are at the first badge and only have access to the pokemon within that small area, plus a move pool and level cap of 20. We're all dealing with a lot of restrictions, but as we progress, we'll all have better chances with much more variety! Your team is probably just fine, it's just got a whole bunch of restrictions held against them at the moment.
Don't worry too much about it! Also, I know you were feeling super upset about your Lombre, but I can tell you right here and right now, give that Lombre a little more time and it is going to be scary as hell! When you brought that Lombre out at first, I seriously held my breath, Lombre is so scary to come up against IMO. When you get the chance, give that Lombre a little bit of rain and it will seriously be a force to be reckoned with! :D

Yeah double team is OP. Especially against a move that doesn't have 100 accuracy.

Tbh the only reason I used Double Team was because I didn't want to take out your Kirlia after it having used Destiny Bond. That shit was scary lol. I'm going to replace Double Team with Roost as soon as I get the chance though, I forget what level I learn it.

Awesome! I'll be around tomorrow too. Just wondering, on the main post it says our party is fixed, so does that mean that the six we catch are the only six we can use?

Nope!
So the locked team is the pokemon you pick to fight us with. You may pick any three pokemon of what you have collected so far, you post them on here as your three battling members, and then they are locked in as your team until you post on here again making a request to swap your current battling party members for different ones as well as a small explanation as to why you are swapping it.
You are only allowed to play with three pokemon in your playable team against each of us until we have acquired the fourth badge, after that you may have a party of six pokemon to battle against us instead of just three.

However, during your initial playthrough of the game, you may play with as many pokemon on your team as you like. You can fight NPC's and such with a full team of six, the three pokemon limit is only while fighting us.

We've kind of been changing/creating the rules as we go, so I understand your confusion. How it works is: we sign up, claiming at least our starter Pokemon. As soon as you catch another one, you post in this thread stating which species. The post may contain as much or as little information about it as you'd like, but you have to at least tell us what species of Pokemon it is. Before the 4th badge, we may only have up to 3 Pokemon (just to speed things up). After the 4th badge, we can choose to catch up to three more Pokemon for our party, bringing us up to a maximum of 6. The same rule about posting applies here; you have to at least tell us the species of Pokemon, but any other little surprises (a couple perfect IVs, egg moves, HA, etc) can be left out. Should one of your Pokemon evolve after you claim it, and before you get the chance to battle anyone, you don't need to update or post again - count it as another little "surprise". Evolutions can be easily predicted anyway so long as you know what level Pokemon we're dealing with (and we will).

If you want to swap Pokemon, you have the chance to do so at the beginning of each "section". So, for example, tomorrow when we start the Knuckle Badge section, everyone will get a chance to swap one or all of their Pokemon. Keeps things fresh, and this wasn't meant to be super competitive anyway. Just for fun :)

I'm gonna re-write the rules in a bit though and add everything we've tweaked/come up with together. I'll also add you to the list of players right now, and your FC to my system :) Welcome to the play-through.

Guys I have a question for you. How do you feel about only using Pokemon obtainable up to our current progress in game, MINUS that "special starter" we can have? I think it would add a level of fairness, to a degree. I understand if we've planned our teams outside the Hoenn Pokedex though, so if this is a problem for you speak up! Make your voice heard :p

This wouldn't particularly bother me as my team is all obtainable thought Hoenn, but I'm not really against using Pokemon from the national dex and other games :)

stzy June 26th, 2016 3:33 PM

I think I feel like it would make this play-through seem more unique to ORAS and the Hoenn region, too. But I agree with you, Legend, I'm not against it either. Was just an idea.

I get your point and I don't disagree with that either. It would give this play through a proper Hoenn/ORAS feel to it

My current "Dream Team" is completely obtainable in the Hoenn pokedex. So it wouldn't bother me if you decided to put a "Hoenn Team" only restriction on the play through.
If we have the Hoenn only restriction, maybe we can just have an agreement to try and fight one another with our perfect teams after we all complete the playthrough, that way we can all see one another's power in battling with no restrictions at the end. :D

I'm probably being a dunce but do we have legendary rules? Obviously we have the Lati's and Primal Groudon/Kyogre later on which might make the game oddly skewed if we used them...

BlackTalon June 26th, 2016 11:01 PM

I didn't really have a particular team in mind, I more of just go along my way and if I find a cool pokemon, then I might add it to my team. Obviously with this style then my team would be completely obtainable in Hoenn only.

Well, let's decide right now. Should we use legendaries? I'm of a mind with you, I think we should exclude them for now. What's everyone else's opinion?

ALSO how many days for the Knuckle Badge? Do you guys wanna just group the Knuckle and Dynamo badges together? We'd miss a battle but idk... it's up to you.

I don't have an opinion on using the lati's. and maybe like two days for the knuckle badge?

By the way I have just beaten Roxanne so I'm ready to battle people, I'll be on throughout today

I'm already at the next level cap, but I'll battle you on level 50 if you'd like? Up to you.

And seeing as today is that beginning of the second section, I'm going to switch out Taillow for Kirlia.

Lrachelr5 June 27th, 2016 6:13 AM

I haven't hit the level cap from Roxanne. I would be fine battling at level 50. Should I wait and just battle people after Brawley?

Alrighty just let me add your FC, I think I forgot to last night. You want me to use the Taillow I just switched out instead of Kirlia, since that's who I had in my party during that section? I don't mind either way :)

Its up to you, I don't mind who you use

stzy June 27th, 2016 6:33 AM

I'm not even gonna add that to the wins, it wasn't really fair... I had some moves I wouldn't have had at that section and shit like that. Good battle though :) if you wanna just keep progressing up to the level 25 level cap go ahead, you'll be at the same place most of us are now (or will be soon)!

Just wondering is the level cap in place for the gym leaders so I have to be level 25 when I fight brawley or is it until everyone has battled

There's no minimum level requirement to fight the gym leaders, or players for that matter. The level cap is in place so players can't grind their Pokemon to level 100 before the 1st gym. It would take FOREVER but, without the cap, it would be possible.

Here's how I do it: I make my way through the story until the gym leader. If you don't over-train your Pokemon, you shouldn't be anywhere near the level cap by the time you make it to them. Once you've defeated the leader and all their gym trainers, you should be a little closer to the cap. While you're able to battle other players at this point, it would be wise to train your Pokemon up until they reach the maximum level for the current section, just to get that extra boost to your stats and maybe learn a few moves, you know?

In short, no, you don't have to be level 25 by the time you battle Brawly. You just can't be over level 25 when you're battling with us! :)

Okay I see thanks for clearing that up

I'm free for battle until around 2pm and then I'll be free to battle again probably from 6pm until midnight.
I also should mention, I'm not a huge fan of using Legendary pokemon for battling, so if you guys choose not to use Legendary pokemon, that is a-ok with me.

Living Arrow June 27th, 2016 12:03 PM

So I just got the Knuckle Badge!

I'm now switching out my Beautifly for my Abra and I'm ready to start accepting challenges for this section :)

Mister Coffee June 27th, 2016 12:12 PM

So, I haven't fought everybody... are we allowed to move on even if we have not fought everybody?

Living Arrow June 27th, 2016 12:15 PM

I figured I would since Danica won't be online the same time as me. Plus all my pokes are still at the original cap of 20 if needed ;)

Oh okay, well I figured it might affect your battle score. I don't think it would negatively affect everybody else, but I think it will affect your personal battle score against us, if you care about that.
I personally want to fight everybody just so it feels like a group effort, not saying missing out once or twice stops it from being that, just want to make sure it's still a group effort rather than a solo adventure with a few internet comments. lol

Yes lol. I was trying to come up with a way around this, but I don't think there is. It's impossible to avoid inactive players and busy schedules, so I think we should just try to fight everyone, but not beat ourselves up if we don't get to. I re-did the front page too, if you guys wanna check out the rules section. Let me know if I missed anything :p

My pokemon are still level 20 if you would like to battle me. I'll be on for the next half hour and then I won't be back until later tonight.

Lrachelr5 June 27th, 2016 12:32 PM

Would it be possible to start battling against people after Brawly?

Mister Coffee June 27th, 2016 12:42 PM

Alright, so based on what I'm reading, I'm going to go for the second badge.
I'm in the town where the next gym is, so it will probably take me only an hour or two.
I actually have a few things I need to go do, so I'll be available for battle again tonight at around 6pm pacific.

BlackTalon June 27th, 2016 12:45 PM

I think we should set a deadline for this section of June 30th (being done with this section by the end of the 30th).

Is everyone OK with this? I actually have to move this week so the later the better for me. Also, I'm available to battle anyone who's gotten the Knuckle Badge. Like I said in a previous post, I switched out Swellow for Kirlia, so my team now consists of Lombre, Combusken and Kirlia. I'm looking at a few apartments soon but I'll be online in a few hours. Hope to see you guys online as well!

Mister Coffee June 27th, 2016 3:28 PM

So I got home much earlier than expected, so I'm available for battle probably for the rest of today. Anybody who wants to battle I am available, until then I'm going to grab the second badge and make my way towards the third badge and then will stop.before nabbing it. :)

Edit: I just tried connecting and it seems the servers are under maintenanace(?), will update when I can connect.

destinedjagold June 27th, 2016 5:43 PM

Just got the Knuckle Badge and just arrived to Slateport. Might train my Pokémon some more before I battle anyone.

The level cap in the first post is still not updated. It'll be easier to check the level cap on there instead of reading previous posts of this here thread. Can it be updated?

Anyway, I think I'll stick with my currently listed team for battles, though Poochyena already evolved into a Mightyena. :3

Swithdas June 27th, 2016 5:45 PM

Yeah I've just arrived in Slateport, KO'd Brawly and my pokemon are still at level 20, the level cap for Watson is 25 right?

stzy June 27th, 2016 5:48 PM

Damn yeah I guess there's maintenance :( oh well, can't be helped.

The first post is updated according to the "new level caps", starting at 15 and increasing by 5 every gym leader. However we didn't implement that until after Roxanne. In order to avoid over leveling, we decided the level cap would be 25 for Brawly, but also 25 for Watson. In hind sight everything would have worked out, because the in-game content was so little between the Stone and Knuckle badges. But, hindsight is 20/20. If it helps, what I did was beat Brawly, and moved on to Slateport city and trained there and along route 110 until my party was level 25. As soon as a Pokemon I'm using in my party reaches level 25, I put it in my PC. So now that my Pokemon are level 25, and I've fought Brawly but not Watson (and like, half way through the Knuckle and Dynamo badges), I'm ready to battle... does that make sense? Sorry if this is confusing... it's just me trying to cover my ass for making the original level caps too high. But as soon as we get to the Dynamo badge, everything should be smooth sailing :)

Yeah, maintenance has been going all day. :/
I've also been wanting to know, is the level cap before the third gym 25?
I'm nervous about leveling up my pokmeon past 20 for the sake of the rules. I've already beaten the second gym, but my pokemon are still level 20, same team.

Yes, so you're level cap right now (going by what's going on in my head, hopefully y'all are with me on this) is 25. However it will remain 25 during the next section, too. So if you were to venture into Slateport and route 110 and train until your party was level 25, there wouldn't be many consequences in terms of over-leveling come the next section. Does this make sense? :s

I'm assuming you're in the same position I was: just beat Brawly with little to no in-game content left, but needing to grind to level 25. So yeah, as I said in a post above, I just went ahead and dipped to Slateport. I know this seems sketchy, and it kinda is, but I promise by next badge everything will be cool <3 lol

Sounds fine to me,I'm in Slateport as well, just messing around, taking my sweet time to talk to everybody and do some fishing on the beach. :P (Slateport has always been my favorite city in Hoenn.) So I'll probably stroll through the levels rather than grind.
If the PSS gets moving again I'll still be available for battle all night. :)

Saaaame about the battling. And yeah Slateport is real. On that note, I'm really enjoying taking my time and training different Pokemon and whatnot this time around. It's something I've never really experienced before. Good show, friends, good show XD

Mister Coffee June 27th, 2016 9:21 PM

Whoa! I just have to say, I just got into Mauville city... it is so huge! It's nothing like I remember it at all! It really is cool how this game still feels nostalgic but it still constantly feels new and improved. I'm really glad I hopped back into the main franchise by playing this game, it's really impressed me so far. (Better late than never!)

Lrachelr5 June 27th, 2016 11:01 PM

Just beaten brawly now heading to granite cave then slayport then mauville. And are we battling after the dynamo badge or now?

So we're battling before the Dynamo badge :) so basically you're good to do everything up until the the Dynamo badge.

stzy June 28th, 2016 1:25 AM

Hey does anyone have discord? It's like a game-chat client thing... it's pretty cool, if you guys wanted to use that shit I'd be down.

:D

In other news Global Link is still down and the website still says nothing is wrong...

So I just hopped onto the game, it seems that the PSS is up and running again. I'm available for battle today until about 1pm pacific.

Lrachelr5 June 28th, 2016 8:44 AM

I'm going to do some more grinding before I take people on cause my team for the levels in the game is rather underlevelled
