Since there are people who don't have access to Shoddy, Wynaut open a battling topic, or even, forum ourselves?

First step will be choosing your 6-Poke team. Any Poke that isn't officially uber (Wobbu and Deoxys-S will be banned, however) can be chosen.

Then, now it is the time to determine movesets. Any move that the Poke can learn in the games + those make sense yet unavailable in the games will be available. This means Espeon can have Zap Cannon since it could learn it at Crystal, Bronzong can learn Heal Bell because it's a frickin bell for God's sake, but no Blast Burn Pikachu's.

Then, we can challange each other. The game will run on base stats. I even made a damage formula for this:

[random number between 1-6] x (Pokemon's base sp/attack + move's base power) / [opponent's specialdef (or def) /10]

STAB and SE bonus get added afterwards.

For example: I roll a dice, it's 4.

I have Heracross out, and used Megahorn. My opponent is Mew which has 100 Def.

= 4 x [125+120] / [100/10]
= 4 x 245 /10
= 976 / 10
= ~98
= 98 x 2 (SE bonus)
= 196
= 196 x 1.5 (STAB)
= 294

And since Mew has 100 base HP, this Mew got KOd.

Non-damaging moves do what they usually do: Heal Bell will cure status effects, thunderwave will paralyze, swords dance will double attack and vica versa.

At the case of a paralysis, this is what'll happen: I will throw a dice, and if it is 1,2 or 3, the Pokemon will be unable to attack. If it is 4/5/6, the Pokemon will be able to attack, albeit probably last since paralysis will reduce speed to its mere quarter.

Burn: Does what it normally does, 1/8 of Pokemon's HP gone each turn and cuts attack in half. Won't auto-heal.
Freeze: 1-5 frozen solid, 6 defrosted
Poison: Does what it normally does, won't auto heal, 1/16 HP gone each turn.
Toxic: Does what it normally does, 1/16 hp each turn but the damage multiplies each turn. E.g. 1/16 -> 2/16 -> 4/16 -> 8/16 you catch my drift. Won't auto-heal.
Sleep: 1-5 unable to attack, 6 awaken
Confusion: 1-2-3 hits itself, 4-5 attacks normal, 6 back to normal. Will resume after 3 turns anyway, or when the user switches out
Attraction: 1-2-3 immobilized by love, 4-5-6 attacks. Won't auto heal, you have to switch out.
Flinch: Duh. The flinched Poke won't attack for one turn unless it goes first.

Items will also do what they always do. Choice band will raise attack by %50, the same with other choice items, BP will cause the opponent to miss 1/8 of the time (will use a random number generator on this) and vica versa.

Abilities will also do what they always do too. If you have laid Toxic Spikes and the opponent has a Heracross, then death is near you. You won't be able to paralyze Limber Pokemon and insomniacs - like usual - can't be asleep. You get my drift.

Natures won't exist, and nor will be DVs since the game will be based on base stats. However, I think EVs might stay. 50 EVs will raise the base stat by 1, which means you have 10 points to distribute.

And if this idea ever happens, then that means *gasp* we will have a thing to waste our Coins on. For example, one might pay 500$ to unlock a 5th moveslot for his/her dear Garchomp, or 1000$ to unlock Deoxys-S or Wobbufett, 5000$ to unlock a Mew/Latias/Latios, 2500$ to raise a stat by 5 or something.

We could make challanges that involve money e.g. the winner will get $100 from the loser or something. We could even bet on the results or make tournaments.

Please respond, it took me 2 hours to type this.

...I think this could be a good RPG idea.

Before I go super in-depth into this (I don't have much time to respond), I'd like to say:

~You'll have to tell me the formula for damage calculation and all that.
~Paralysis doesn't auto-heal.
~Normal poison is 1/16; I'm pretty sure of it.

That quote is almost self-referencing.

This idea might actually work well. Let's try it and see what will happen. By the way, I agree with ShamanLord about the paralysis part. Paralysis doesn't auto-heal, Gnaaye....

Oh, K. I'll edit those parts.

BTW I already wrote the damage formula.

[Bellomence]

[Gnaaye]

Uh, typos. Edited it now.

1-2-3 full paralysis, 4-5-6 able to attack, yet speed is reduced by 1/4.

[Treeckomaster]

Hmm... A little over a week, but I have a couple of questions.


Is this an RPG? As in the type we have here?

Is this a DM RPG?

And is this going to be a plot based RPG.

Yes, it includes all necessary organs.

No this isn't supposed to be funny.

[Gnaaye]

1- yes, this is a RPG, although a new forum may be opened for this if there is enough interest. *hint hint*

2- WTH is a DM RPG?

3- No, there won't be a plot. We just will be making teams and battling each other. We will have a thing to waste our time and Coins on. We will create tournaments though.

[Treeckomaster]

Number three answered number 2.

DMed RP's are where you have a dungeon master who decides everything that happens, except you make the choice.

[Gnaaye]

I hope so.

[Bellomence]

Give it a plot and it's fine. You can think of many plots to be considered in this RPG. Let's try and think some. But if you don't want a plot, then it's OK for me too... I'm only trying to help.

Uh, I am out of ideas. I don't think a plot is needed, but if you do find a suitable one then it's more then OK for me.

[Volvagia]

So how do we set out our teams? Like the Layout of the team. e.g.

Pokemon
Moves
EVs

Also, are we allowed nicknames?
