Ok, I'll write something in the IC, it was a good match there, make larvesta stronger and I'll be scared (honestly i hate that guy and Volcarona)

[New Mahahus]

Okay, FCAT should end in the next two weeks. So if anyone could telegram me when the Kanto is starting I may or may not join. But I'll still do RP battles as NPCs, don't worry.

Well if Dijifuji picks Totodile then I'm going to do the prequel of Trent and Jake. If not then no prequel.

Dijifuji we need to discuss on how we are going to do the events if we do a prequel.

Its just one water pokemon. Water is THE MOST popular type in the game.

Ya, but totodile isn't that great.

[The Blazing Aura]

I think Dijifuji should get Totodile just to see this Prequel,

Ya, but totodile isn't that great.

It isn't in the original gold/silver/crystal games becasue of the fact that it was a physical attacker and water moves were physical but now in heart gold/ soul silver it is good cos it gets good physical attacks like Aqua tail and Aqua jet (both of these being introduced in later games)

What about the bug contest how will that work? (just occured to me)

there's a list on Serebii (http://www.serebii.net/heartgoldsoulsil ... park.shtml) detailing which pokemon are availbable and when, this is an idea but we could run it every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday (like in HG/SS) and have say half an hour where if you're on and nearby the park you can catch the certain bug pokemon according to the list (This is an Idea since i have no authority)

[The Union of Myanmar]

Totodile wasn't so great in G/S/C, but since we're now using Gen V. movesets for the next RP, it should be much better.

About the bug-catching contest... I'm not sure how we'll do it. Any ideas?

We could have a random draw, and a player has to RP catching the Pokemon they are allocated. The quality of the RP will then determine the winner of the contest?

I like that method as well!

Speaking of RP posts, I'm trying to bring the "RP" back into our RPs. I've noticed that the Ultima RP has pretty much become "I got onto my Pidgey and flew to ____ City. I knocked on the door of the gym leader." -> PO gym battle -> done. I'm quite guilty of this new PO habit.

So, if we're going to be lvling-up our Pokémon in the next RP, we'll have to be posting about training them and mentioning their involvement in battles.

Let's say you have a full team of six Pokémon with three stored at a PC, but you only mention/use like your Squirtle and Cyndaquil in a post about a trainer battle (RP or PO). Then only those two Pokémon would lvl up two levels. Another example, if you use four out of six Pokémon in a gym battle (RP or PO), only those four would go up 3 lvls. Win or lose, stand or faint, all Pokémon used/mentioned in any battle will level up.

Below is a preview of the opening post to the signup thread of our J/K RP with the important rules.

[The Union of Myanmar]

Your journey begins in New Bark Town, a small town that happens to be the home of Professor Elm. When Professor Elm asks you to carry out a task for him, little do you know that it's the start of an amazing adventure that will take you to all corners of Johto! You'll encounter experienced Gym Leader, incredible locales, scores of Pokémon and, of course, Team Rocket along the way!

Professor Elm has invited you, just one of a select few new Pokémon trainers, to explore Johto and help him discover new Pokémon. He has seventeen one-of-a-kind Pokémon, and will give away one per trainer. None of the Pokémon can be found or caught in Johto and neighboring Kanto. Which one will you choose?

When you're done traveling through Johto, don't leave just yet because there's all of Kanto to explore as well!

5 Important Things to Know
1. Pokémon locations and the plot are based on Pokémon Crystal.
2. Time-of-Day matters when catching Pokémon. UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) will be used.
3. Use Generation V movesets.
4. Battles may be RPed by written posts or through Pokémon Online - Battle Simulator where battles are carried out just like the games (see tutorial below).
5. Pokémon level up based on different types of posts/events (see below).

Rules on Leveling-Up/Evolving
Every Pokémon on hand that is used in battles and/or mentioned in training posts levels-up like so:
+3 for gym battles (win or lose)
+2 for battles with other trainers (win or lose)
+1 for RP posts about training Pokémon + battles with wild Pokémon

• Pokémon that are not used in battles/training do not level up.
• Pokémon do not need to be traded to evolve, but some will still need particular items to evolve. For example: Onix does not need to be traded to evolve, but will still need the item Metal Coat to evolve into Steelix.
—Exceptions: at Lvl 36 Kadabra → Alakazam, at Lvl 36 Machoke → Machamp, at Lvl 36 Graveler → Golem, at Lvl 36 Haunter → Gengar
• Pokémon that evolve via happiness will require a great deal of high-quality posts detailing events that would raise a Pokémon's happiness before evolving. Be creative!

IC Rules

1. Go to Professor Elm to pick your starter Pokémon and to receive your Pokégear.
2. You may carry up to 6 Pokémon on hand at any time. If more are captured, they will be teleported to a Pokémon Center (PC). Trainers may store or withdraw Pokémon at a PC.
3. Full exploration of certain locations may require your Pokémon to have specific abilities. Strength and Cut are just two of the many essential abilities that will need to be learned.
4 For information about all the Pokémon in Johto & Kanto, along with where & when you can catch them, refer to the Johto Regional Pokédex.
5. Be sure to talk with locals. You never know what they might have in store!

OOC Rules

1. You may catch as many Pokémon as you want.
2. For information about what level your Pokémon is at, please refer to the first post on the IC thread.
3. Refer to Pokémon Crystal for the location of Pokémon.
— We are basing the time of day on UTC (Coordinated Universal Time).
4. Items and Pokémon spanning all five generations may be handed out by locals.
5. Use only moves that your Pokémon can use with regards to what level it is at. TMs and HMs will be handed out and can be given to Pokémon anytime after the trainer has obtained the items. Use Generation V movesets.

Co-OPs and their Responsibilities

The Union of Myanmar - locals (NPCs), plot events, PO battles, written-post battles

So if we challenge a gym, but one pokemon isn't in the battle nor does it faint it doesn't gain levels just like the game.

[The Blazing Aura]

two questions

1) are the pokemon we're given by Professor Elm random or are we choosing them (I've forgotten)
2)are we using the Gen Five version of TM's where they can be used as many times as you want or are we using the one shot system ?

[The Union of Myanmar]

As long as a Pokémon is used in a battle, they'll level up even if they faint (unless, for more of a challenge, everyone prefers that Pokémon that faint do not level up. I'm fine with that as well).
