Pokemon: Rise of Scythe Rules

[Khina Bree]

Okay, I was going to post these later, but with as fast as the votes came in, I'll do it now.

Pokemon Rise of Scythe will be a forum role play while also utilizing Pokemon Showdown for battles.

Players may choose from one of the Starter Pokemon provided by the Regional Professor of Turmain OR request their own Pokemon at the GM's discretion. For this game, I will also be making use of the Forum's Dice Mechanics, once we manage to add the dice I'd like to use. (d100, also called Percentiles)

Capturing wild Pokemon in the RP will be simple. I will post if you encounter anything, and if you wish to attempt to capture it, you post saying so. Then I will use the percentiles to see if you are able to capture it. Different Pokeballs grant an increased chance to capture by modifying the percentile's result. Each Pokemon has a Capture Rate. TO capture them, your percentile must be lower than or equal to its rating.

Examples
Ball Type ::: Modifier
Basic ::: +5
Great ::: +0
Ultra ::: -10
Master ::: -100
Premier ::: +0
Dusk ::: -15 in caves or at night
Net ::: -10 Vs Bug- and Water-type
Nest ::: +0 (-1 for every five levels your Pokemon exceeds the wild, to a max of 20)

Battles on Showdown will be reserved for Trainer vs Trainer fights, at the end of which, EXP will be awarded. (This prevents sudden level ups in the middle of a fight that we cannot alter DURING a Showdown)

Posts should still be as they were in previous RPs, meaning no "one-liners" (with the exception of dialogue). What I would like, is for everyone to post as if they were writing a story. For examples, check out some of my or Derpy's posts in the previous RPs.

Pokemon's Gender, Ability, and Nature will all be randomly generated by me, so bear that in mind when adding them to your Showdown roster. (Any excess Pokemon who would be "Boxed" should be noted on your Character Sheet, which will be added in the next few days.)

Other rules may be added as needed. Any questions, please post below.

[Derpy]

I sent you via PM my characters bio. Is the Pokemon that she received okay or not?

[Khina Bree]

Yeah, that's fine.
Female too. 0_0

[Derpy]

She clearly lives up to her Nickname.

[The Doctor]

Just asking, is there a character sheet?

[Khina Bree]

There will be. Stardog activated the Character Sheets for the forum, but they're currently not set up for anything.

Update:
Character Sheets HAVE been added to the forum now, as have the Dice ROll I wanted. A few guidelines for character creation:

-No one will have any previous Badges or League experience.
-Anyone can be from any of the regions, including the Orange Archipelago, Orre, etc.
-Starter Pokemon can be chosen from the following list if you are not requesting one:
Pikachu, Eevee, Togetic, Riolu.

The Turmain Centennial Tournament begins in Nushire Town. After the opening ceremonies, Trainers report to Professor Alora Tennyson to register for the event. Any trainer registering must have a Pokemon or choose one from the lab.

Trainers will travel the Turmain Region to collect the eight Tournament badges. Once they have collected all eight, they must make their way to Victory Island on the northwest side of the region (also called Tournament Island).

Each Pokemon you add to your roster will be generated by me. Their Natures, genders, and abilities will all be at random. Also, We will not be using EVs for this. When adding the Pokemon to SHowdow, leave the EVs blank.

When you wish to search for wild Pokemon and wish to capture them, I would prefer to use the Chatbox. I will generate the Pokemon, then you can say if you would rather catch it or not. If you do, we will make a post for the scene. You make a post stating you intend to capture the Pokemon and use the Dice Roll feature to roll 1 d100. The lower the number, the more likely you are to capture it. After your roll, I will verify if you caught it or not.
