fenrir Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 [quote name='Naimo' timestamp='1301502031' post='5100177'] What's surprising about Feebas being offered? It's basically a sort of counterpart to Magikarp/Gyarados. And besides, Regiana's gonna be catching one herself (seeing as there are no other Pokemon on that list that would take her fancy). And as for the religion, I've decided to make a Reshiram/Zekrom. Not sure what we're going to do with Groudon/Kyogre/Rayquaza though. [/quote] It should be noted in every single Pokemon game besides the 5th gen, Feebas is EXTREMELY f***ing RARE. Seriously, it only appeared in one spot every gen and even then it was only found on 2-6 particular [i]squares[/i] in the area, and it randomized daily on D/P/Pt. That being said considering this is an RP and not a game I suppose it doesn't matter. [size="1"]I would be willing to write up a Groudon/Kyogre/Rayquaza one. Or at least the skeleton for it.[/size] For trade Pokemon, why not do the 'has to learn a move' to level it up? It would be interesting and it's hardly done anyways.

Naimo Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 I like the move learning idea; it'd be so much easier to do than try and work out how to trade Pokemon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnet Soldier Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 First, we are not in Hoenn. And since it's basically a female Variation of Magikarp, Feebas will be Common. Second, It randomized everytime the Trendy phrase Changed on Ruby/Saphire and Emerald, and can be caught with a fishing rod very simply on D/P/Pt in MT Coronet. Three, you're right, this is an RP, not a game. So yeah. And last, I hope someone gets their eye stabbed out with the Starmie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenrir Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 An example for Haunter: Toxic. Reasoning: Haunter/Gengar are Ghost/Poison, but poison is HARDLY used on the two. (both in competitive and just in general.) Seriously, the two do not have ONE poison move in their natural movepool. The reason Mamoswine/Yanmega required Ancient Power was because they were based off prehistoric creatures. (Tangrowth is... Eh.) Just a thought' @Magnet: That doesn't include the fact that the only area it was actually easy to catch was Unova, with special instances making it very simple. 2-6 spots only is pretty damn annoying. I don't particularly mind Feebas being as common as a Magikarp, in fact I pretty much like it, as it's the parallel to Magikarp, (wait if it was it would be really rare so- eh screw it, you get my point)and it doesn't make much sense for it to be really rare in two areas but common in one anyways. =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Red Posted March 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 trade evos would be level up evos from now on (or something else that is fitting). Trade evos makes no damn sense anyways. Onix would become steelix at a certain level as well while holding the metal coat etc etc blah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naimo Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Good news! We're done with the Reshiram/Zekrom religion! I give you [b]Draconism[/b] (I changed it from Taoism because I feel it detracts away too much from the actual Taoism) [spoiler=Draconism] Draconism is a fairly neutral religion on the scale of how pro- or anti-Arceus they are (so they're around the same level as Celebism). Draconists believe that Dragon-types were always very rare, and thus when the world started, their numbers were literally close to none. As Dragons could roam free, for nobody dared capture one, they were often said to have very ill tempers, and would strike at weaker beings, though more commonly at humans. As a result, a lengthy war broke out between the Dragons and the humans, and about a hundred years before peace was established, it is often said that Reshiram was born during the day, and Zekrom at night, and while they were growing up, they remained seperate from each other. They are believed to have met at Dragonspiral Tower. Back then, the tower was one of many fortresses that humans had made, and it was designated to protect humankind from the wrath of the Dragons. It was also one of the sturdiest and thus most populated, and eventually became a very important stronghold. Archers would be lined around every level (owning a Pokemon was rare in those days, but greatly beneficial), and heavily armed troops would be waiting for them. Both Reshiram and Zekrom had experienced human prejudices against Dragons, and they had decided to have a go and attack the humans. On the day of the attack, when the two Dragons met for the first time, they decided to collaborate together. With their combined strength, they quickly discovered that they were actually even more powerful than ordinary Dragons, and with this advantage, they managed to capture Dragonspiral Tower. Without one of their key strongholds, the humans quickly fell under their wrath, although the innocent were spared. Reshiram and Zekrom then proceeded to destroy the fortresses, but they kept Dragonspiral Tower intact, and the remaining citizens decided to rename the tower that name. The origin is said to have come from the fact that Reshiram and Zekrom had circled the tower in order to capture it. Legend goes on to declare that Reshiram and Zekrom eventually fell in love and had children, thus they are regarded as the parents of all the Dragons. They were also responsible for establishing everlasting peace between humans and Dragons, and it was then that humans began to have confidence in owning Dragon-types. However, the legend does not end happily, for although the pairing passed some time in mirth, they slowly began to find the other disagreeable. Their bickering grew to the point of physical violence, which made them part for good. They did not meet again until they were scavenging for food, and happened to bump into each other. They were situated on a great stretch of wasteland, and their final battle broke out. With their Fire and Electric powers, they summoned everything they could, yet they were matched, and also hindered by their affections for the other. However, when Reshiram's Blue Flare crashed with Zekrom's Bolt Strike, it did something unexpected; from the smoke that was caused, a figure began to rise. This stopped their battle, and they stared in wonder at the Dragon that had emerged. This Dragon was Kyurem; he had had a little bit of Reshiram and Zekrom infused into him, and with his birth, he also took away their rage, and restored peace to the two Dragons. As Kyurem was full of their rage, he forced himself to remain in the wasteland, while Reshiram and Zekrom, ashamed of themselves, fled and were never seen again. One of Kyurem's first acts was to stomp the ground in anger, and he created a large crack, which in turn made a chasm. This has since been called the Great Chasm. Draconists aspire to capturing Dragon-types, but what makes them even more outstanding is that very devout followers actually take pilgrimmages to both Dragonspiral Tower and Great Chasm. They argue that the reason the wall around the Great Chasm was built was because Kyurem's rage was so powerful, that if it had not been built, he would have seriously endangered everyone around him. Draconists respect Kyurem by not straying past the walls (similarly, the furthest point that they will enter Dragonspiral Tower is the entrance), and it is common to leave a small offering (such as a Dragon Scale) at both Dragonspiral Tower and Great Chasm. Draconists also see the Light Stone and Dark Stone as a kind of Holy Grail figure, and in every household, there are two large stones that have been painted white and black. They are placed in a place full of light, and a place full of darkness, respectively, and they pray to them every day according to the time (so it would be appropriate to pray to the White Stone during the day, and the Black Stone during the night).

fenrir Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Interesting and well-done. Different spin on the Kyurem tale, but otherwise very interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naimo Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Thanks :3 I remember reading about Kyurem, and the idea of the spirit just struck me several minutes into research. It did occur to me as well that none of our religions really involved pilgrimmages either (I did Religious Studies at GCSE, so that's where the pilgrimmage idea came from) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Warden Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Yeah, although, the religion probably wouldn't be so prominant until Unova. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Red Posted April 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 @Brokenheart: And that was kinda also why we hadn't introduced it yet, just as with the Kyogre/Groudon/Rayquaza religion which is almost entirely Hoenn based and was thus not introduced.

Master Red Posted April 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 oh psssh, sealeo is adorbs (seriously, look at it it's too cute for it's own good :3). And there's no kind of tier list in an RP, nyah Also, what fun would it be if everyone had the same pokémon Amaya will have a very... special(?) Team, None of the pokémon I have planned out for her as of yet are going to fully evolve. Either by choice or not being able to. Murkrow is one, Sealeo will be the other, the third will be be secret for now as it will f*** up a future event a bit if I reveal it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenrir Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 To be fair tier lists exist for a reason. So beware, BoltBeam Starmie coming soon. (hehe) Although really I love Walrein personally. It's just a really cool Pokemon. Psssh, my main reason for getting a Staryu is because someone wanted a Corsweet and I remember reading that someone else wanted a Shellder. There were no mentions of Staryu prior to me, so why not? SEE GUYS, I CARE ABOUT YOU AND YOUR TEAMS. THAT'S WHY I'M PICKING POKEMON NO ONE WANTS.
