I am looking for one, maybe two people to help me moderate this RP. PM me if your interested.
Story:
*note that this is just a overview. The real story is larger.
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, obviously starts with your human character being put into the body of a Pokemon that matches who they are..
After that, they are put on a island of Zikon that seems to almost.. "waiting" for them. There even is a shop and a money system.. which is something that is odd. Why should Pokemon even have such things? It's almost as if this is some sort of place designed for human-turned Pokemon in mind.
However, other than the more than happy native Pokemon this is pretty much a world full of places to explore. Lakes, Volcanoes, Ice Caps, it seems as if the island of Zikon is home to almost every type of area that a Pokemon could want. More detailed areas will be introduced as the RP goes on, and I'll post a full map. Pokemon can join together and create clans, and take shelter in one of the regions of the island, but for for now, the Caves of Zikon are where our characters will inhabit and sleep. What you do from there is your choice.. however, we might not be alone on this island...
Stats:
There are different levels of stats.
Health:
Attack:
Defense:
Speed:
Special Attack:
Special Defense:
Every level up a mode will give you two different kinds of stats. The first are called "Base Stats" and you get 20 of them every level. Base Stats in basic terms are the stats your Pokemon would normally get. For example, an Abra would gain more Special Attack base stats than his Attack stats based on what type of Pokemon he is.
The second are called "Custom Stats". You get 7 of these every level and you can apply them to whatever section you want to. You can split them up or give them all to one section. Whatever floats your boat on that end since we don't have Natures to give special things like that.
Stats are a Guideline only. This does not mean they are worthless, but more that when doing a story line fight, you could win a fight by intelligence, but if your opponent is 20 levels higher and your a Poison Pokemon with almost like, 30 Special Defense and your opponent is a Psychic Pokemon with 160 Special Attack, you need to realize that you have almost no chance of winning this thing. Every Special based Psychic move is going to have devastating results on you.
Leveling Up:
Leveling up is a easy to understand system. Every Pokemon starts out as Level 2 and completely to the lowest evolution they can be. When you apply your character, you are given two different "growth levels". These levels are 3, 5, and 7. Every post you will gain experience and Poke' Dollars based on what you end up getting as a growth system. The secret password for your application is Poke Pellets. Ignore this for now, it'll turn up later. Back to stats, This is a purely done by random by the moderator.. and is not meant to make your character level up slower than others on purpose. Basically, if you are rolled for a low Experience Growth, you get a Higher Money Growth.
Examples are as followed:
3 Experience Growth
7 Money Growth
5 Experience Growth
5 Money Growth
7 Experience Growth
3 Money Growth
You gain whatever your growth is with every post. To grow to level 3, you will need 30 experience points. After that, leveing up jumps 30 experience points required for each level up. So level 4 will take 60, and so on. This will make you have something work for, QUITE some time. 100 will be the cap until a good amount of people get up there and are stuck at it, where we might try to work on a higher cap or something.. but let's not get ahead of ourselves. It's going to take quite a while before that happens.
It is YOUR job to keep track of your experience points. I would suggest putting something on your signature or personal notes, or even adding a meter on the bottom of every post, counting down to the next level. Once you have reached the next level, PM a PKMN-MD-RP MOD and they will award you your base stats. Please include in the PM what Custom Stats you will want. They will also inform you if you are learning any new moves or are eligible for evolution.
Battling Other Players:
Battles are done in pure RP-style format. Your words and mind will do you as much power as your stats. You can initialize a battle at any time, however certain areas might have "clans" that might have a problem with the fight. Be aware of your surroundings and try not to fight in troublesome areas. Your opponent has the right to accept or decline the battle.. by running. However, you could hound them/ use an attack that kept them from running and force them in a fight. However, this might cause them to look like the victim, and people might join up to help them. <.<
Battles can be done in either 1 on 1, 2 on 2, or 1 on 2, or 3 on 3. No other numbers types of battles are allowed without moderator permission.
Winning a fight gives you Experience based on the level of the opponent you fight. Meaning if you beat a level 10 opponent, you get 10 Experience points. If both players agree, other types of prizes might be at stake, such as betting money and other things, but this must be agreed upon by both battlers before the time of the fight. Special Tournaments may occur with more prizes or a higher Experience growth per win, so look out.
Learning New Moves:
You have a max of 6 moves allowed at any given time. If you end up trying to learn something new, you will have to give up an old ability to bring in the new one. You can learn moves via TM's and HM's, which can be bought from the shop.
Mating:
Your Pokemon can mate with another Player Character's Pokemon if they are a compatible Egg Type. NO GRAPHIC SCENES, THANK YOU. PG RP-RATING. If you have the extreme urge to act out whatever it is that's going on in your mind, do it in a private, off-site area. Thank you.
There must be a level of romantic bond between the characters to achieve this. One parent must stay with the egg at all times. The egg will hatch in 1 month forum time and will be the species the mother was. It can be a shared NPC by the parents or it can be a Player Character of one of the parents. It is eligible for Egg Moves.
Applying for and Choosing Your Pokemon:
We allow any BASE EVOLUTION Pokemon to be put in here, this includes Pokemon such as Scyther, and others that might seem more strong in their base evolution.
This actually also DOES include Legendaries.. however Legendaries will start out in a "child/baby" form and all legendaries have instantly a 3/3 growth level. Legendaries will also only be able to hold 3 items at any given time, so be warned that picking one will cause it's own level of setbacks. Any special canon abilities that your Legend have will not be given until a certain level, most likely a very high one. Such as, Celebi will not have the power to travel time until level 80, etc.
Legendaries come under a first come, first serve basis. There is only one of each one. By choosing a Legendary Pokemon you are committing yourself to the RP. You must already have a Pokemon that is level 40 to be eligible for a Legendary Pokemon. Upon reaching level 30, you may reserve your Pokemon for future use, however if you do not post once in two weeks you lose your hold and someone else can reserve the Pokemon or snatch it up.
You may have two Pokemon in the RP. Pokemon will evolve through levels/items and gain an extra 14 custom stats when they do.
