Yuri Valentine - Sifu Oh dear sweet bearded baby christ, just read the battle system...and I think I may be bleeding from my ears from my brain overheating trying to wrap my head around it all. Megaton complicated, and it's been years since I played any pokemon game, and never anything past 3rd gen. Having looked over lot of the topics here, I apologize but I'm gonna have to respectfully exit. It's just way too complex for me. It's not too bad. Just roll a 20-sided die for every attack your Pokemon uses, another one if you control your enemy as well, and a 100-sided die ONLY if your move has a secondary status effect. We just needed to detail every possible situation so that there can be no error. Level-up is on a by-post basis, so it's simplified from the old word basis. Random Item Get is a random thing that I came up with in the past rendition that... actually isn't used much. XD If you need more help, feel free to PM the admins. JD and I went for quite a while in the last rendition, so I might dare say we have the most battling experience.

I am staying here but like Yuri says, the battle system is complicated so I predict everyone is goon to have a fit wit me because I cannot process all the information at once (I am learning disabled) I am staying regardless but the system, I am just going to mess up on because of all the complications to do just a single battle.

Let me send you the PM I sent Yuri. I think it sums the basics up pretty well.

Should we set up a mock battle thread in the lower section of our forums (with Battles, Rules, Chatterbox, etc) to demonstrate a quick Trainer battle and a wild battle? Rolls can go in a thread that we'll delete after full transcription into the mock battle thread, and we'll need to include at least 1 (secondary?) status move, 1 normal move, 1 never-miss move, and one multi-target move. Thus, we should probably stage a Double battle or a Single/Double battle. I'll try and cut my posts short if we do this, since the focus is on how to battle and not how to write. XD

I think that would be actually a perfect idea, so that those of us who are newbs at this can get a good hands-on education.

I'll wait for a response from Riku; otherwise, should we stage a Double Battle (2 Trainers, 2 Pokes each) and a Single Battle? I feel like there should be a third battle, but what type and what moves to include, I don't know off the top of my head. Let's pretend our Pokes are Lv 40; that way, something can learn a collateral move.

Yuri Valentine - Sifu I think that would be actually a perfect idea, so that those of us who are newbs at this can get a good hands-on education. Sure. We're hashing out the details of it now. Might take a day or two; I have a couple review sessions for midterm study that I'll need to attend very soon. We can work out the details now, but I might not be able to write the battle until after 8 today. I think we can get away with using one thread for dice rolls, or should we roll for both of our Pokemon in the battle thread itself? We would still need to make another post or three for any status/secondary status moves we use though. EDIT: We'll need at least 1 self-boost, 1 PRZ/BRN/TOX, 1 Sapped, 1 Weather/Power Boost ability/attack, and... Yeah. 1 Double and 1 Single ought to be enough; one can be longer depending on our needs.

Let's pretend our Pokes are Lv 40; that way, something can learn a collateral move. Or should it just be a Double? No matter what battle we do its essentially the same thing. You either have two Trainers using more Pokes or more Trainers doing a Single. I think a Double with more Trainers will be more confusing than the two of us using two or three each.

We can do all that with a team of two or three each, easy.

I'll get a thread started, and I will probably set the playing field for everyone.

So a Double with 3 Pokemon? I think one of us should do a quick wild battle so players can see how to control wild/NPC Pokemon and Trainers too. Wanna pretend we're our current characters or our characters from last rendition? I'll just use Cheren's 3 from the manga; you? By "set the field", do you mean define weather/party conditions, or dice rolls, or...? (Yes! Some action! XD)

I can still find the old pic of Wes.
