Okay I suppose it's just I like writing long battles. And stat sort of stuff makes it feel like a game whereas I look on RP's as structured writing not a text based game.

Yes, that is what we are deciding on. Some people wanted to have like playful battling like the anime, like "Arcanine used Flamethrower on Riolu! The flames whirled around Riolu like a raging dragon, damaging Riolu! Riolu had a hard time getting up, but soon set of an Aura Sphere that shot out to Arcanine with blistering speeds.", that is what I want. BUT, some people want this: "Arcanine used etc. (same as above)" but there will be a plug in like thing saying the damage done. To be honest, I like the first one, same with Goodies, but other people want the calcs. ;_;

Well, stat-wise will still be exactly very detailed like any RP. This would be the format:

Detailed part of the battle, then damage.
<Calcs>
Again etc.
<Calcs>
Then, the battle should be ended after a while, you can make the opponents talk and such. The calcs will determine the winner. But, I like something non gamish to be honest.

Okay I've got a few q's to ask before I throw in my ideas:

- Where is the RP being set? As in is it a canon region or a new region?
- Are humans/trainers being involved in the RP (as NPC's)? A large group of young pokemon experiencing a large city for the first time would be interesting to write about.
-How are you justifying the pokemon being dumped in the forest? If they were stolen then they would be sold/ kept not just dumped... you could have like boss fights with the kidnapper trying to capture the young pokemon back... just an idea
- Also I think the RP should start before the wolves are met (not a long time, just a bit before), I think writing about the chaos of a bunch of small scared pokemon would be interesting (and fun).

I would find statwise battles easier to do, because I'm not a very good descriptive writer... BUT, I enjoy attempting to be descriptive and stuff, so I vote for detailed battling. Though I agree with Wolflare when s/he said that it should be more about the story than the battling, unless of course, the battle is a big part of the storyline.
Miraculous!
Simply the
best!
Up to the test

Okay I'll answer these:


- New region not known to the public.
- No all the hunters have been forced off by the aura guardians.
-They have been stolen then lost by the Pokemon Hunters.
- It does.

EDIT: Rafey I think this is right:

Statwise Battles: 0
Detailed Battles: 3

Okay fair enough, I was going off this:

Say, here is the average layout of the story we made together:
Spoiler:
→Toddlers at a Daycare
→They get stolen
→They get dumped into a creepy forest
→The Wolf Pokemon find them in the woods
→The Wolf Pokemon join with the toddlers
→The story will officially begin now where they make their journey back
→Venturing across hazardous places, they make it back
The rest will unfold.
But yeah, thats fine then.

New region.
- Are humans/trainers being involved in the RP (as NPC's)? A large group of young pokemon experiencing a large city for the first time would be interesting to write about.
Well, no, there will only be Pokemon. But, right atm not decided.
-How are you justifying the pokemon being dumped in the forest? If they were stolen then they would be sold/ kept not just dumped... you could have like boss fights with the kidnapper trying to capture the young pokemon back... just an idea
First, we are going to be placed in a secret base like place where grunts (Pokemon like, say Arbok are the grunts and such other "evil" Pokemon) are, then the toddlers make their way out of the hideout, to the forest, there they will meet the Wolf Pokemon. Soon, we will all journey through the forests, deserts and clashing with bosses, having breathtaking battles and such.
- Also I think the RP should start before the wolves are met (not a long time, just a bit before), I think writing about the chaos of a bunch of small scared pokemon would be interesting (and fun).
That is what happening. The beginning of the story with last a while with the toddlers story, after a few chapters, then the wolves would show up when they are in the woods.
Comments in bold. Thanks for asking!

Edit: Yes, sorry I said officially, I meant this is where the journey begins where they both meet up and all the members of the RP start their journey. The beginning is kind of like a prologue (is that how you spell it?). Why I said officially, is because the plot is about them journeying.

Hmm... you know me I'm a sucker for the flashy anime-style battling thats so prevalent in all of my RP's.

However, I will say it will be a little different to do it through a pokemon's eyes rather than a trainers. Could be interesting, or may be difficult... we'll see.

EDIT: Okay Wolflare thanks for clearing that up :)

p.s. yep thats how you spell prologue

Yes, once we all get this cleared up. This will be very fun. I will try to contribute some of my time to the RP, but you won't be seeing like foot long RP entries from me though. XD I will still do good long entries.

So, what should the layout of the map be? Like what places should we be going to and such?

Well I think bonsly will have a slightly different personality than Ben's Bonsly in JR. :P It's one thing writing about a crying baby pokemon annoying the hell out of his trainer, it's another being that crying baby pokemon. Now I just need to work out what sort of personality Bonsly will have...

EDIT: Yes a cliff! A cliff is all important. Oh and a volcano! That's vital. :P

Okay this may be stupidity on my part... but if the RP is set in an all pokemon region... how were the baby pokemon stolen from a Daycare centre? Or is it like a pokemon equivalant of a daycare centre?
Look at the first post for a minute. There you will see that Nidoking and Nidoqueen are the mama and papa (soon, there will be an auntie and such). They run the daycare. Then, the grunts (evil) steal the Pokemon away, which they are going to be something like Mightyena, or Sharpedo, evil like Pokemon, or Arbok. I was thinking they could be apprentices to Darkrai?
