Featured: Adventures of Pokémon - Sign Up Promotion & NEW BANNERS!

[Dragon]

The Adventures of Pokémon!

Welcome all trainers, to The Adventures of Pokémon, basically a posting challenge here on Previous Generations where you'll be able to obtain all manner of pokémon, and all sorts of items! The posts you do here on Previous Generations will also determine how well your pokémon will grow. There will also be some charming events where you can use the pokémon you obtained to do various things, mainly contest battles.


How to sign up:
To sign up, all you have to do is fill out the form here:

Username:
Trainer Class (sprite from any gen, optional):
Starter:

You can also choose one stater pokémon that you like. The starter pokémon can be one of these pokémon below:

Once you've gotten your starter, you'll also be given

50 Gems! Once that happens, you'll be recorded and all ready to go!

I'll provide an example on how signing up it should typically look:

Username: Dragon
Trainer Class: Kimono Girl (Gen 2)
Starter: Eevee

What are these 'Gems?'
Gems are like the currency in this system. To obtain more Gems, all you have to do is post! For every post you do, you'll obtain

5 Gems. It's wise to save up on them, as you'll need to use these Gems to obtain new and rare pokémon!


Obtaining New Pokémon
Yes, as said, you'll be able to obtain other new Pokémon in this system through the usage of the Gems you collect. Ever so often there will be a scenario, or banner, where different Pokémon will appear. Here's an example below:

Focus Banner: Streak in The Game Corner! (RBY)

Focus Pokémon:

Appearance Rates:

Super Rare
Porygon 5%
Dratini 5%

Rare
Scyther 10%
Pinsir 10%
Abra 10%​

As you can see, there are focus pokémon in each banner or scenario, where there is a chance that you'll be able to obtain these rare pokémon that you wouldn't normally get anywhere else. There are also some common pokémon in each banner too, in case you don't get a rare pokémon.

Once you see a banner, it costs 5 Gems each to obtain a Pokémon from it, or you can use 50 Gems to obtain 10 Pokemon at once. So, to demonstrate, I'll obtain 3 pokémon from this banner right now, using 15 Gems:

...

50 -

35

Obtained:

*SUPER RARE!* Porygon! (Red/Blue)

A Pokémon that consists entirely of programming code. Capable of moving freely in cyberspace.

Moveset:
~ Agility
~ Recover
~ Conversion
~ Hyper Beam (TM!)


Meowth! (Red/Blue)

Adores circular objects. Wanders the streets on a nightly basis to look for dropped loose change.

Moveset:
~ Pay Day
~ Screech
~ Bite
~ Scratch


Oddish! (Red/Blue)

During the day, it keeps its face buried in the ground. At night, it wanders around sowing its seeds.

Moveset:
~ Acid
~ Sleep Powder
~ Poison Powder
~ SolarBeam

...

Every time you use Gems to obtain new Pokémon, they'll get a random generated moveset, with four moves. There's a chance that it can get a powerful random TM move too. So, even if you get two of the same pokémon, they both can have completely different moves!

In addition, you'll be able to get similar pokémon with different sprites too, depending on the banner. Different sprite arts from each gen will be able to have moves from the respective gen it's from.

Can the Pokémon evolve?
Yup! To have one of your pokémon evolve, you'll just need to make 10 posts altogether here on the Past Generation board (or in other words, 10 posts for each pokémon that needs to evolve). That includes any evolution methods you can think of. Yes, at times, you'll get pokémon that have more than one evolution that it can evolve to, for example, Eevee can evolve into multiple pokémon, based on what stone you give it.

On that regard, you can choose which evolution the pokémon will evolve to! Like for instance, if you get said Eevee and you'd want it to evolve into a Jolteon, just mention that in your update post once you make your required 10 posts. Again, that's only for pokémon that has a branched evolution.

Once your Pokémon evolves, it can learn a new move that it could learn via level-up! However, if your pokémon has 4 moves already, you'll have to delete one of its older moves before learning its new move, or you can choose to obtain from learning a new move altogether.

Ribbons, Medals and other awards

Ribbons and Medals are the achievement system here. If you win a contest, or do something good overall in the Previous Generation board, you can obtain one of these for your portfolio! There are a bunch of them to collect!

You'll may also be able to get some of the more challenging badges around to get...

Have any questions?

Feel free to ask in this thread! Or send them directly to Dragon or Nah!

The Participating Trainers

The list of participating trainers are listed here. To have an easy time searching, try using Ctrl+F and typing your username. All of your pokemon, items, achivements, and gems will be listed here.

If you want to review your pokémon's moveset, just hover your mouse over the pokémon of your choice. If you would like to release a pokémon in your storage, just state what pokémon you'll be releasing on this thread, and it will be removed from your portfolio here.

~* SIGN-UP AND KANTO FESTIVAL PROMOTION BONUS!*~​

Those who sign up for Adventures of Pokémon during this month (yes you can sign up in this thread), will receive a Gem bonus of 50 more Gems! So in total, you'll be able to get 100 Gems right off the bat!

For those of you in Adventures of Pokemon already, you can still post in this sub-board for Gems! For this week only, (September 1st - September 8th), the amount of Gems you get from links to posts will double! So instead of 5 Gems, you'll receive 10 Gems per post. But as always, posts in this thread doesn't count.

If you want to obtain pokemon from any one from these banners, you can do so in this thread as well. Just be sure to state which banner you're pulling from, as well as how many pokemon you want from it (providing you have the Gems, of course)!​

And then here is 30 more gems.

 

[Janp]

I figured I'll post links from this event here. They are both for 10 Gems so I should have 95, right? I also added them to the 1st post in the original thread.

With that, I should have 95 Gems. And I'll roll 10 times for O' Bird of Frost, please.

So I have 45 Gems remaining.

 

[Midnight Umbreon]

Actually that is update 2. leaving me with 60 gems, I believe

 

[Hyzenthlay]

Heyo! Out of my 100 gems, I'd like to spend 50 on Bird of Frost, 15 on Bird of Lightning, and 20 on Bird of Fire. :)

Or are we limited to one banner? Because if that's the case, then I'll just go for 50 gems on Bird of Frost~

Ooooo okay. I just wasn't sure is all...lol. Derpy me! xD

 

[CodeHelmet]

Give me five from Fire Banner, Five from Water/Ice Banner and Five from Electric Banner. I got more than enough gems, especially if I keep posting hehe. Also I have another Pokémon to evolve... going to pick Bulbasaur -> Ivysaur.
Oh and my links are posted in my original sign-up with the Kanto Festival designation for easy updating.

 

[CodeHelmet]

Minor question regarding the Gen bonus for links. That only for posts made within the Kanto Festival sub-board or for posts made during the Festival?s duration? I assume it?s for the duration but just wanted to verify that.

I was going for posts within the Kanto Festival sub-board. You can still post in the main board, but it will still only be for 5 Gems each. Just remember it lasts until the 8th.

Thanks for clarification :)

Let?s see if I can do Math lol...

43 links(total) x 5 = 215
6 links(Kanto Festival Bonus) x 5 = 30
50 Base Gems = 50
Total Earned: 295

Subtract 1 Fire Stone(10), three TM?s(60), 8 First Banner Pok?mon(40) and 15 second Banner Pok?mon(5 Fire, 5 Thunder, 5 Water/Ice = 75). 70 + 40 + 85 = 195. 295 - 195 = 100 total gems(unless I?m forgetting something. Also since I?m now up to 43 links, let?s evolve not only Bulbasaur but also Squirtle while we?re at it.

Okay um, I was almost finished all your banner pulls until my browser crashed... after I spent 2 hours on getting your pokemon, and now it's all been deleted...

Are you guys patient enough so you'll be able to get your pokemon by the end of the Kanto Festival? I'm sorry for the inconvenience, I'm just... distraught and discouraged by what happened, and I've got many things to do as is....

Again, really sorry.
