Team Obsidian OOC

Alright I'm here to answer any questions and chat about plans for Team Obsidian. What's up?

Some stuff covered in the actual topic:

-Anyone can catch Pokemon of their speciality i.e. Water, Water/Grass, Flying/Water
-I'll be controlling the wild encounters/Team Obsidian
-Each person gets to choose a "destined encounter" where they'll meet a Pokemon of their speciality that they particularly want
-Professor Aspen's Lab is in Oldale Town
-Littleroot Town was destroyed by Team Obsidian

What if our Specialty type is something that has a base form not of that specialty? I can think of two examples already, Froslass and Swampert. And do we get our Pokedex's soon? It'd help with the whole "moves" problem we just had.

Pokedex doesn't tell movesets, buddy.

In the Anime it does.

And the manga too, but I may be mistaken on that one. Furthermore, no need to quote what's right above you

Yes, but in the anime, pokemon can evolve in the middle of a battle and movesets don't change very much. In the games, evolution stays on hold until you win and movesets change constantly.

Its a habit I have.

It's better than having each character memorize eachother's movesets.

Each trainer is getting a Poketech. It'll function as a Pokedex/status reader. So, anything like move sets and health will be shown through those which will ultimately be another topic to track everyone's Pokemon and such.

When it's an evolution based on personality types like yours, I'll just let you pick which one. There aren't many so it doesn't matter all that much.

Would we be allowed to have one or two pokemon outside our specialty other than the fateful encounter?

Ok thanks I also forgot to ask this but how will evolution through trade work? Would said Pokemon be able to evolve without trading or would they still be need to be traded to evolve.

If your talking about for use of field HMs and such, that's what your allies are for if you don't have a pokemon who can learn them. Otherwise, I'd rather say no...

Evolution through trade will just work without trading. It'll be through leveling with the needed held item or at a set level that we'll agree on if need be.

All right, just checking. You gonna toss up a topic for fates soon? Or should we wait until later in this RP?

I'll get right on it. It'll be where we'll keep track of each team's stats too.

Sweet. If you need info/organizer I'll gladly help. XD I'm the board pack horse if nothing else.

Ok thanks for clearing that up.

ok 2 questions still on my mind,

1. I get that you will control wild encounters, but im still asking how for lack of a better description "training battles" between teammates (like the one that failed to start last I checked) will work?

2. Do we get to determine the nature and ability of our pokemon or is that up to you as well?

< Also if your trainer is a Psychic specialist bob then how is it that her destined is Vulpix a FIRE type? o.O >

Nature and ability are up to you.

Trainer battles will be controlled by those involved but will have to end as predicted which I want to be decided on here prior to the end of the battle.

Kay I still want to know how mayas destined is a vulpix since according to your own words its supposed to be of her specialty?

Oops, my fault. I honestly forgot my own rule... That'll be changed shortly.

LOL..it's okay happens to the best of us...

Edit: And now with that settled onto more important business...the training battle(s) correct me if Im wrong on this but we currently have:

Snorunt v Yamask (Waiting to start)
Riolu v Wurmple (In Progress)

Riolu v Wurmple is going to be Riolu's win no doubt. Riolu has good attack for a Lv 5 and Wurmple has poor defense. He just doesn't have a chance.

When Risen gets on, I wanted to spar with him

I have to agree with you there bob so the "standings" are:

Snorunt v Yamask (Waiting to start)
Riolu [2] v Wurmple [0] (In Progress)

P.S. simple enough format?
