[mystikdreamer]

To make life easier on newcomers, I have added an update history. Simply put, this will summarize a new change to our rules, since this guild grows and adapts. This will be easier to know when something was added or if you just need a small refresher. The original post that was in this place is at the bottom.

{6/17/10}- Wild Pokemon appearances cut in half temporarily. It takes half as many posts to get an appearance.

After some serious thinking about it, I have decided that a pokemon box system would be good. So I shall keep track of pokemon at the Gym Leaders only forum. I might change it to another forum, but only leaders will add the pokemon. This will keep people from getting the chance to cheat. heart
I hope you all enjoy this new feature!
Also, Pokemon, which were kinda rare, will be appearing more often. I apologize for any previous inconveniences.
Take care and enjoy yourselves! heart heart

Status Conditions are being posted. As I finish them, I will put them here.
Note that Sleeping Powder, Thunder Wave, Etc, DO NOT always hit.

Sleeping- Pokemon cannot move for 4 turns. 2 times during those turns, a dice may be rolled (6 sided). If it is a 5, then the Pokemon wakes up.

Paralyzed: A dice is rolled (any #) if the number is even, the attack goes through, if it's odd, then the Pokemon cannot attack

Poisoned: -10 HP every turn to the afflicted Pokemon

Toxic-induced Poison: -10, then doubles damage each turn (i.e. -20, -40, -80, etc.)

Burned: -10 Hp every turn to the afflicted Pokemon

In love/Charmed: A dice is rolled. If it is odd, the attack goes through. If it is even, it does not

Frozen: Pokemon cannot attack for 3 turns.

Confused: Roll a dice, if it is even the attack goes through, if it is not, the user takes the damage (yes, ALL of it)

Curse: -10hp each turn. Unable to remove status w/ any healing item. This only comes into effect if the attack is used by a ghost type, in which case the user's hp is cut in half, and the Curse status is added to the target.

Thank you Rahuran and Hennajin for reminding me of the others

Pokemon Experience will cap off at 50, regardless of your level. Just wanted to post this.
Also, to get to each city there must be a minimum of 3 posts in the previous city. I don't want 'walks to (insert city)' you have to post while your on the trail as well, then the next city. Just wanted to clear this up
THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE FLY!!!
Also be noted that I will read the posts in announcements, but I delete them after. It's just to save space, no offense to anyone heart

~ON another note, there are now male/female differences in certain species of Pokemon. Depeding on the gender of said pokemon, you may get a different sprite. All of the sprites in the Labs are male, but if you recieve a female pokemon, you will get the appropriate sprite

I have been throwing around the idea of actually keeping a Pokedex for members of the group. It would be it's own subforum, and you would keep track of Pokemon you have had/have.
Also when things quiet down and we've finished updating all the items, etc I may update Pokemon abilities. This will make the guild even closer to the games, and more fun.
Just some things I was thinking about heart
Also! You recieve your first Eevee after your 1000th post in the guild! Just so everyone knows  

[mystikdreamer]

Another note on Eevee!

As everyone knows, Eevee can evolve into 7 different Pokemon. In order to spell out the evolution, I have posted the requirements for each evolution here. BE SURE TO READ THIS!
Reminder: You get your first Eevee after 1000 posts. Then they will start to appear in the wild, at any place. They will not appear until you have 1000 posts.

Vaporeon- Use Water Stone at any level
Flareon- Use Fire Stone at any level
Jolteon-Use Thunderstone at any level
(these ones may not fit with the games)
Espeon- Use Light Stone at any level
Umbreon- Use Dark Stone at any level
Leafeon- Level up in Eterna Forest near Moss Rock
Glaceon- Level up in Snowpoint near Ice Rock

Since Henna's not on right now, I'm gonna start working on either Pokemon Frontier or Pokemon Abilities. Probably the latter (second one). I'll also be RPing.
Frontier probably won't be open until we've completely finished working on Shinou. But know that we will be working on it
