I've kinda got writers cramp lately, but I'll try to make some edits

Waiting on response from you Zero my post is on page 17 seeing as you missed it, it seems

[Zextra]

@BlackDiamondDuelist - thank you for taking over for me overnight. I appreciate it.
@Mahboi - I would accept you, but in the OOC, I said that Normal Trainers can't start out with Legendaries or Pseudo-Legendaries. However, you will be able to catch a Bagon later in your journey.
In case you are unfamiliar with the concept of Pseudo-Legendary, that means:
• Salamence
• Garchomp
• Metagross
• Dragonite
• Tyranitar
• (Gen.V) Sazando
@Sparkplug6 - As BlackDiamondDuelist said, just expand your bio a bit and you're accepted.

[Dementuo]

Yeaup. And If you wanna be a Draconius Commander, then you'll be serving under me.

I need to enforce some rules to keep the whole battling concept under control:

• Be fair about the damage you and your opponent's Pokemon do to each other. When they should do damage to you, let that happen. We are not here to win every battle we encounter.
• It's alright to lose; In fact, everyone should lose at regular intervals (except Elite 4 members, and Team Leaders)
• Understand the difference in power and level between the higher-up members (Elite 4, Champion, Team Draconius/Nebulus Leaders). to everyone else. Remember to illustrate this difference. It is illogical for a normal trainer with a Mudkip to be able to defeat an Elite 4 member. Keep this in mind.
• Do not simply call "Dodge" every chance you get. If your Pokemon cannot logically dodge an attack (such as Psychic, which just controls the movements of an opponent's body), do not call "dodge" and expect it to happen.
• Be a good judge to you and your opponent. If one side launches an attack that would inflict damage, do not try desperately to prevent it
• Be a good sport. If you have won every battle you have faced, and you meet a trainer, perhaps you can let them win
• To keep the battles running smoothly, I suggest the two opponents contact each other via PM to to work things out BEFORE the battle ends.
• Before you call an attack combination, visualize the attack in your head. Then, express your thoughts on the combination AS DETAILED AS YOU CAN on the RP post, and make sure your opponents can understand what happens.
• Do not attempt to pull off an illogical combination. Combinations should only be made from 2 attacks. Occasionally, you can add a 3rd attack to increase the effect, but only 2 attacks are allowed per combination. Think about it, could a Pokemon really launch 3 attacks at once? No.
• You must declare and describe each attack clearly and accurately. Don't just say "Oh, but I used this attack earlier, and therefore its effect happens now.
• Make sure your posts make sense. For example, a cloned Pokemon from Double Team cannot attack. Therefore, if a Double Teamed Pokemon attacks, and the defending Pokemon strikes it before it is able to launch its attack, do not just say "But you just hit a clone". This is unfair and cheap. The only exception to this rule is Substitute, which automatically replaces itself with the original when it is attacked (but don't forget its cost: 1/4 of your base HP)
• Also, trainers who have competed in leagues before are naturally going to be stronger than trainers who start out in Cygrus. (For example, Caden, Atrus, and Ashmin have all competed in Pokemon Leagues in other regions before, making them naturally stronger than those who start out)
• To prove you have read these guidelines, post the words "I understand everything stated above" in turqoise-colored font.

I will post these rules on the first post in the OOC.

Question on Ghost pokemon

in the anime that could become invinicble/go into the ground(not the dig way the ghost way) Can they do that in this RP

[Serenity the Candyman]

[color="#00FFFF"]I understand everything stated above[/color] Dont worry

[Zextra]

Unfortunately, no, because then it would be overkill, being able to travel more easily than Flying Pokemon. Anyways, since there's another page, I need to post these words again and I need EVERYBODY to read them:

Alright just checking. But ghosts still float at least XD meaning Ground attacks are no go as they don't even touch the ground or the ones i have

also ghosts have always be able to travel easier than flying as they can go through walls and ceilings XD

[Zextra]

Only with ones that have Levitate (such as the Gastly family) are unaffected by Earthquake and other Ground-type moves

[DeathSDelano]

ok though Duskull n Shuppet don't have feet or touch the ground so how would that work exactly?

[Zextra]

In terms of moves and abilities, this RP follows the Game rules. I don't know what would happen, but just work it out with an opponent who does use Earthquake.

[DeathSDelano]

Thats kinda hard

EQ, magnitude, and fissure are the only moves that are hard. so its going to be hard to response to those with shuppet and duskull....

i wish the game just gave them leviate it makes so much more sense that way

wait duskull's ability is Leviate so only shuppet is the hard one

[Zextra]

Yeah, but once Duskull evolves, that ability's gone

[DeathSDelano]

If i let him evo O.o. but dusclops makes more sense has he walks on the ground though are can leviate or in the anime he can xD

[Serenity the Candyman]

The same with hail and not hurting ice pokemon......You would think giant pieces of ice flying towards the ground would infact hurt anyone in the way....

[DeathSDelano]

my guess is the ice pokemon are use to the hail?

[Serenity the Candyman]

How can anything get to use to hail!

[DeathSDelano]

because they are ice and don't forget abomasnow causes hail XD

[Serenity the Candyman]

So if a glacion uses hail aand it hits its forehead direct center, you saying it wont get a concussion but it will reflect and the glacion will be Fine?

[DeathSDelano]

i dont know i am not the one who came up with this stuff. it makes about as much sense as a Pokemon who does not touch the ground be hurt but an attack that only affects things on the ground

[Serenity the Candyman]

Japan, why can you make awesome things that make no sense....and still make millions?

[DeathSDelano]

because games never make sense or completely

[Serenity the Candyman]

Oh they do... in someone's twisted imagination. Like how a pokemon not die from any attack but only faint. Like Rock Slide. To be pummeled with rocks should kill something!

[DeathSDelano]

or a person in pokemon can be roasted and electrocuted and not die
