So, would we be only having Gen 1 pokemon available?
Correct
Well the medieval-ish setting has gotten me interested. Curious to how you will end up doing the fighting, I'll wait for the other person to explain it in detail I guess before I give a for sure yes.
Welll for the fighting I intended to make as normal pokemon battle, it was at first thinking to have them battle like the vanilla pokemon style (where we calculate and al that stuff) but thinking that it would be complicated, might as well change it though if you have a better suggestion please tell us ^-^~!
as for medievalish setting, I'm planning to make the whole world into medieval with only a little room for the futuristic stuff such as pokeball exist and such.
Waiting for a little more detail, might join! c:
Well as so far I only manage to get the brief plot done, it's about two kingdom fighting for each other, and at the end of the war there was mew that interrupt and pooff....
our story start 40 years later, after the war ends and Mew's appearance, since the appearance of the pink creature, similar monster begun to show themselves to the public. The king proclaimed these creature as pokemon, their first appearance brought a lot of attention to the society with many capture them with rope at first but later the king's personal blacksmith and mages have found a way to capture them and that's using a sphere shape capsule. You are an aspiring trainer who recently got a starter pokemon/ had it since you were born/etc goes into the Tavern, Trainer's Pub or also known as Ruins of the Fallen Kingdom Ostia.
There'll be monetary system as well where player get the money they obtain through quest (it'll be the GM work to keep tracking all of the player's status such as Trainer Points, Gold, and Pokemon Reserve)
TP or Trainer Points are a way to define on how experienced the trainer are, TP also use to determine your Ranks as a trainer. While in vanilla there are badges to indicate how strong we are, we have Ranks. From time to time as Trainer's TP grow they can do a promotion quest, by defeating Dukes / Prince / Paladin in a certain city.
How Pokemon Strength determine?
that I haven't figure out yet but for now I'm thinking to put it the "logical way" of battle. Like Pikachu and Onix, Pikachu would skillfully dodge Onix as he's way more agile than Onix, but due to typing it would be really hard to bring him down. As for Onix, he could destroy the yellow creature easily with one hit but really low probability to hit him.
^---I know there's way better than this so please help me XS
Catching pokemon
this one is debatable as well since we're in medieval setting, like in the beginning I want to make the RP without any pokeballs available, pokemon will be sold in shop or it's a reward through completing quests but then again I decided to implement pokeball system. The capture system are base on luck, you'll need to throw dice though for that. I'll explain further later on
Pokemon availability
as
@Karakui said, we'll only have gen 1 pokemon excluding legendaries, since I want them to be unobtainable and as a raidboss.
question and suggestion are welcome!
