Pokémon: Adventures in Anglion
The OOC Thread
[Music]
"Good day to you and welcome to the world of Pokémon! This world is inhabited by creatures known as Pokémon. They're spread across all four corners of the planet, their habitats ranging from the highest peaks to the deepest oceans and new Pokémon are being discovered every day! Some Pokémon are kept as pets, while others are used to battle. But where are my manners, I forgot to introduce myself! My name is Professor Hazel Filbert and it is my job to study Pokémon."
With that mandatory opening cut-scene out of the way... Welcome to Pokémon: Adventures in Anglion! This is a roleplay taking place within the custom region of Anglion, once a powerhouse of an empire with a role in the Pokémon War, now a peaceful land with friendly ties to the regions of Kalos and Unova. When it comes to Pokémon, Anglion is an incredibly diverse region, ranging from regional variants to species that can't be found anywhere else! Anglion is also home to many myths and legends, like Robin Hood; a man who stole from the rich and gave to the poor, with the help of his Decidueye.
The Rules
- All of the NationStates rules apply.
- Co-OPs' words are law.
- But OP's words are more law than the Co-OPs' words.
- This roleplay has a three line minimum for in-character posts.
- There isn't a limit to how many characters you can have, just make sure you can handle them all.
Mechanics
Capturing Pokémon
The concept of capturing Pokémon is like the anime. Knocking a Pokémon out cold and then tossing a ball at it isn't the only way to capture it. You might encounter a Pokémon that is particularly friendly. You might also encounter a Pokémon which just needs a helping hand but does not want to be captured. Just to give a sense of randomness though, it'll be the OP or Co-OP who decides which Pokémon you encounter and whether or not your capture succeeds. The OP and Co-OP can also decide whether or not the Pokémon is Shiny, though the chances are incredibly low.
Legendary/Mythical Pokémon cannot be captured (because a kid having literally god on their team is BS).
Pokémon Battles
The battle system is more akin to the anime, so your trainer CAN shout "DODGE!" and your Pokémon can try to do just that. Attack clashes are also possible if the participating Pokémon and their moves are at a close enough level of strength. We don't employ the games' level system though. A Pokémon will always grow stronger after a battle. Battles with Gym Leaders can only be done with the OP or Co-OP, whether it's done post-by-post or in one big collaboration extravaganza.
Parties
Like the games, a trainer may have up to six Pokémon in their party at one time. If you captured a Pokémon and your party is full, you can either
Items
Most items can be bought from the Poké-Marts or other shops across Anglion. However, certain items like Mega Stones, Z-Crystals and the like are distributed solely by the OP or Co-OP. Fret not however, for if you have run out of potions, you can probably find Oran Berries in the wild. Just make sure they're actually Oran Berries and not poisonous berries.
Evolution
Item-based evolutions work exactly like they do in the games, you give the Pokémon the item it needs and BAM, evolved. Trade-based evolutions work the same too, you just trade it to another person and pray to Arceus that they give it back after the evolution is completed. Level-based evolutions are decided by OP and Co-OPs.
Starter Pokémon
Your starter Pokémon must be capable of evolving at least once. Fossils, Legendaries, Mythicals and Shinies cannot be starter Pokémon.
Movesets
(Almost forgot to add this lmao.)
Pokémon may have up to six, yes, SIX moves, seven if you count Z-Moves (as mentioned above though, Z-Crystals will be distributed only by the OP and Co-OPs.)
