Pokemon League: Almia - PG-13 OOC and Sign-ups

[ORegan]

The anime is incrediably inconsistant in regards to pokemon moves. (In the first movie, Pikachu used an electric attack on a Golem and won, despite the Ground type being immune to electricity) ...so it's best to use the game's rules on the effects of attacks. I'm only using some elements from the anime (such as there being Pokemon League tournaments instead of just fighting the elite four or not regarding levels at all) because they make it easier for an RP consisting of multiple RPers.

So does that mean my attack was ineffective, regardless to Psychic being able to produce neutral damage on pure Ghost type Pokemon?

 

[ORegan]

Nope, neutral damage is still neutral damage. Although the fact that Ghost type moves would resist a psychic type attack reamains true, a powerfull phychic attack could still counter it, though with some difficulty do to ghosts not actually possessing matter.

 

[mal'akh]

Either way, Michaela needs to reply to it. >.>

 

[ORegan]

Ice, Bella, please re-read the battle rules. It states that the defender RPs damage for attacks, not the attacker, and the person attacking is not allowed to RP damage(unless given permission), which is refered to as 'calling hits.'

Also, a few posts ago, I made a stance on combining moves; We aren't doing so as it's unfair to the defender, especially so since they'd essentially have to defend against two simultaneous attacks at once, which basically skips their own attack phase. I know it limits your moves to those in the games, but it prevents abuse and makes things fairer than giving people the chance to combine hyperbeam with giga impact or other asinine moves.

Ah, sorry for not being online for...two days? I don't remember. I was sick with a fever and as such, my mother wouldn't even let me touch the computer. Or my laptop. XD

So my attack sequence wouldn't work? Damn, Shadow Needles would be such a cool move. x_x"

Plus, Lance did combination moves when he battled against Yellow and vice versa. x3

Looks like I need to rethink my strategy. Okay then, this will be fun.

My sign-up form...

Spoiler:

Name: Hiroshi Teijii
Age: 15

Trainer Class: Trainer

Blood Type: O

Ethnicity: Japanese/American

Favorite Color: Red

Hometown/Region: Celadon City, Kanto

Physical Appearance:
Teijii is moderately tall, standing at 5'3" and is really fit. He has brown eyes and black hair. His skin is pale, but is getting less pale because of his travels to places where its hot.

Apparel & Accessories:
Teijii wears a black shirt and a red jacket over it. The jacket he wears has a symbol of a Pokeball at the back. He has a lot of caps and loves changing it from time to time. His caps have various Pokemon designs on it. His favorite is the one with the Pikachu design on it. He carries a brown bag with things needs for his journey. He also wears a belt that holds all 6 of his Pokeball.

Personality: Teijii is a hasty person. He wants everything he does done in a jiffy. He's good in making strategies, seeing out every important move an opponent might do. He is very proud and doesn't want anyone calling him pathetic. He is curious at times and has a habit of spinning something with his fingers (i.e leekspin)
When in a Pokemon battle, he stays calm and gets ready for anything that might result to his defeat.
Teijii likes naming his Pokemon and marks their Pokeball in case they get stolen.

History: Teijii comes from an upper class family. His father is Japanese while his mother is American. As a kid, Teijii wasn't allowed to go outside of the house. He would just stay inside and be taught everything they said he needed when he grew up. One of the things he was taught as a kid was about Pokemon Battling. It became one of his favorite topics. One day, when his parents had gone off to Saffron for a meeting with the Silph Co., he snuck out of the house. He was 8 when this happened. It was his first time wandering outside their house. He went to the woods to explore a little and got lost there. It was getting dark and he was getting scared, when suddenly a bush rustled. He got curious and checked what was behind the bush. He looked and was surprised to see a Pokemon. But this Pokemon was new to him. It wasn't one of the 150 Pokemon mentioned to him by his mentor. It was a purple Pokemon with a hand for its tail. The Pokemon stared at Teijii awkwardly. Then it jumped to a tree. Its hand-tail moved, signalling Teijii to follow it. Teijii did what it wanted to imply. It swung from tree to tree until they arrived back at Celadon City. Teijii was overjoyed and turned back to thank the Pokemon but when he did, the Pokemon was gone.

3 years later, Teijii was finally allowed to go out of the house. He never forgot about the Pokemon that helped him out of the woods and this time, he knew what the Pokemon was. He tried to go to the woods but before he could, a rich Pokemon trainer about his age challenged him to a match. He told him doesn't have a Pokemon yet but the rich trainer insisted. At that moment, a familiar purple Pokemon jutted out of the woods. It was the Aipom that helped him when he was a kid. The Aipom went in front of Teijii and its hand-tail clenched to a fist. Without warning, the rich trainer sent out his Pokemon, a Squirtle. Without a choice, Teijii tried to apply everything he had learned about Pokemon Battling. This was Teijii's first time battling so he wasn't sure what to do. In the end, Teijii lost the match. As the match ended, the rich Trainer called him a pathetic trainer. Because of his pride, Teijii was insulted by these words and vowed to become the best Pokemon Trainer and prove himself to the rich trainer he had fought. He kept the Aipom hidden because of the "No Pokemon Allowed" policy in their house.

When he was 13, he was allowed by his parents to start his journey as a Pokemon Trainer. He was given a customized Pokeball as a farewell gift from his mentor and a bicycle from his parents. He placed Aipom in the Pokeball and went to Pallet Town to receive his official starter. He remembered the rich trainer's Pokemon and decided to pick a Bulbasaur but as soon as he arrived at Prof. Oak's lab, an odd-colored Charmander caught his attention. He learned as a kid that odd-colored Pokemon are called "Shinies" and are extremely rare. Because of this, Teijii forgot about the rich kid's Pokemon and his decision to pick Bulbasaur and chose the Charmander.

He went around Kanto, earning badges on the way and competed in the Indigo League. He was eliminated after 4 matches. After losing in the tournament, he travelled to Johto and earned all the badges. He competed in the Silver Conference and became the Top 8 . After learning about the Almia League, Teijii rushed here and now he aims to conquer this competition...

Goals:
Become the best Trainer there is
Prove himself to the rich trainer he first battled
Win the Almia League Competition

Starter: Charmander

Team:
1. Species - Charmeleon
Nickname - Burst
Gender - Male

History - Teijii's "official" starter Pokemon. Burst is a shiny Pokemon. He named it "Burst" because it occasionally lets out a burst of flame

2. Species - Aipom
Nickname - Hikari
Gender - Female

History - Technically, this is Teijii's first Pokemon. They seem to have a special bond. He met Hikari as a kid when he got lost in the woods. He named it "Hikari" because of the way it helps him when in trouble. ("hikari" means light in Japanese)

3. Species - Pidgeotto
Nickname - Oran
Gender - Female

History - Teijii caught this as a Pidgey. He caught this because he wanted another means of transportation aside from bike. He occasionally trains Oran to help it evolve into Pidgeot. He named it "Oran" because he lured her out using Oran Berries.

4. Species - Wobbufet
Nickname - Barry
Gender - Male

History - Teijii caught Wobbufet while training Oran. He had a hard time weakening it because it used its Mirror Coat and Counter really well. This made Teijii want to capture it even more. It took him a while to capture it. He named it "Barry", which is short for Barrier.

5. Species - Scizor
Nickname - Blink
Gender - Male

History - Teijii received this from a trade for his Cubone. The trade was supposed to be his Cubone for a trainer's Scyther but the Scyther evolved in the process and instead got a Scizor. The nickname "Blink" was given by his previous owner.

ORegan i will be able to post in two days. My char was approved , however I want to know if I have to repost the character application due to my absence.

XD She's not so bad, it's just that everytime I sat down I had a pounding headache. Now it's the opposite; everytime I stand up I have a pounding headache. x3 At least I'm better enough to go on the computer, though. x3 Still sick, which is a pain. (rolls eyes)

Okay, slightly curious here, how are we going to do about the battle? I mean, like, who wins or something like that. Do we just plan it out or do we go with the flow? Sorry, first time doing something like this. XD

 

[grey†fish]

I'm confused as to whether I'm supposed to do anything… :|

Yeah, I think I might have written myself into a corner. Really hope this is just a 1vs 1 or 2 vs 2 match in vientown cause otherwise I'm going to be there forever.

 

[jcogginsa]

does anyone know what the most crime ridden city in almia is?

 

[Ash_Ketchum123]

does anyone know what the most crime ridden city in almia is?

It could be Pueltown since it's nearest to the Altru Building..


Just guessing, though

Go with the flow, and adding statistics. Definitely let each other take some slight/decent/significant damage. Like Night Slash being super effective, doing pretty strong damage. Yet due to having a physically advanced Gardevoir, being able to withstand the attack. So basically just statistics, as usual.

And yus! Be sure to drink plenty of clear fluids too! o.o

Uh, my gym is a castle, so you can do whatever in there for now. o.o

 

[Maxulus]

ORegan I just thought of a new question. Can evolved pokemon keep their pre-evolution moves? For example , Shellder learns Ice Shard but Cloyster doesnt. Will I be able to use Ice Shard with Cloyster?

And I just realised that I have only 3 pokemon in my team while everyone else has at least 4 , so can I add a few more pokemon to my party?

 

[PlatniumPiano]

Are trainer SU's still being accepted? And I thought you were only supposed to have 1 pokemon to start? Or is that not including gym leaders

 

[MichaelaTheUchiha]

SU are always opened. Don't worry. ;)

 

[ORegan]

Max: You don't have to re-apply since you were only gone a week, and you're character isn't in a position that requires activity (I.e. Gym leader etc.) Also, again for simplicities sake, use only the moves it would know at its current evolution stage(TM's can still be used though) Also, the amount of pokemon you have to start doesn't effect your character's strength or skill, so you can easily just catch wild pokemon, but if you have a specific one that you really want and forgot to add it in, send me a PM.

Grey: Don't worry, I has things planned to keep you Gym leaders busy when there aren't people challenging you.

Speaking of plans, if you guys want side quests etc, i would really advise from skipping through all the areas inbetween towns. it makes it harder for me to give you guys things to do if all you're doing is hanging around the same two Gyms waiting in line to earn a badge.

Ash, you're character is approved.

Platnium, there is no rule against having more than one pokemon to start with, and sign ups are always open

 

[MichaelaTheUchiha]

Mind giving my character a side quest? After she sleeps for the night at Mal'akh's gym she'll be up for the road. x3 Of course, you don't have to give Miharu a side quest if you don't want to. I'm only asking, not demanding.
