View Full Version : APP. "Gotta Catch 'em All." The Pokemon RPG.

RPG Application
Screen name of the proposed RPG’s Game Master: JinnSato and if you're interested Mr. Marko and Super Ferret y'all are welcome to join.
Do You Have An Instant Messenger that we can reach you on for better conversation? (i.e MSN, Yahoo, AIM, ect.) And if so, what is your screenname?: No, But I do have Myspace IM. Whatever that counts for.
Gamemasters/Assistant Gamemasters already chosen: Like I said Mr. Marko or Supper Ferret if they're interested.
How will the overall lay out of the RPG be?: At the least one other GM and an assistant. It will be character driven RPG. It will be ongoing. With short breaks in between seasons.
Premise of RPG: We'd have our own region of the world using already existing pokémon. Players would be able to be Gym Leaders, criminal Team Members, Professors. just regular trainers or anyone from the show or comics or games. The max of six pokémon would still be enforced as would the moves the pokémon would use. Also each player could start with any six pokémon (aside from legendaries or other unique species, who would be permanent NPCs) but if they want more they need to go out and catch them in game.
What will this RPG bring to the RPG forums: Well this is an RP that I have never seen on this board and I don't think any RPG is anything like this. And a mature look at an other wise childish series.
Title of the RPG you would like to propose: "Gotta Catch 'em All." The Pokemon RPG.
Example of Characters Application:
Name of Character(are they from the comics, show, or games??):
Character's Personality:
Font (be specific.):
Occupation (trainer, Gym leader, ect):
Where is your characters location at the moment?:
Starter Pokemon(chose three):
1.
2.
3.
If you have more in storage what are they:
Why have you chosen this character?:
Please provide a sample post.

So is Season 1 just in Kanto?
Honestly, my knowledge and love of Pokemon only really goes up to the original Red/Blue/Yellow. I did play some of Gold, but it never really caught my interest like the old games used to when I was young.
And yes, I even watch the dubbed 4kids anime ... No laughing! :o
I have a feeling most people might be in the same shoes I'm in. I think this RPG would be better off sticking with only 151 Pokemon canonically.
I would also hope that the games take the most precedent lore-wise as opposed to the anime or anything else. It gives us players more creative leeway if we'll be RPing already established characters.
Just my 2 cents :cwink:

What kinda tournament? I think something like a Trainer that ever beats the Elite Four and becomes a Pokemon Master would be a better season ender. Or maybe Mewtwo comes out of hiding and starts going on a rampage, trying to get revenge at mankind. You know, something EPIC to end the season, not just a tournament.
Oh btw, I would like to have Giovanni reserved, if in case this RPG does get started up. I have some really cool ideas for Team Rocket! :woot:

Anyway, I'd like it to be all of the "common" species (non-legendaries) from all of the games. AND we'd be in a new region (I suggest the name "Hyporia") with new towns and gyms and characters. Though I'd love it if Team Rocket was around.

Just the common species ... does that disclude Pokemon like Snorlax (who are EXTREMELY rare) or not? (on the other hand, there are TWO of them in the game, and probably more lore-wise).
I do know you're including Mew, Mewtwo, and the Legendary Birds in that description. However, I think it'd be neat if they showed up (maybe not catchable, but at least maybe some trainer in the RPG gets a glance at one).

What I consider "Legendaries" are: Mew, Mewtwo, the Birds (Articuno, Moltres, Zapdos) the Dogs (Suicune, Entei, Raikou), Celebii, Lugia, Ho-oh, the Regis (Registeel, Regirock, Regiice, Regigigas), Kyogre, Groudon, Rayquaza, Jirachi, Deoxys, the Lake Trio (Mesprit, Uxie, Azelf), Dialga, Palkia, Heatran, Giratina, Cresselia, Phione, Manaphy, Darkrai, Shaymin and Arceus.
Snorlax are fine, as are the Starters. And I don't mind if they show up, just don't kill/catch them.
And I don't mind starting in Kanto, but I'd like for created characters to be possible. Maybe set it ten years after the events in Red and Blue?

EDIT: But I'd prefer to see the established parts of it first before committing. Stuff like the application, the rules that would have to be implemented, the details, etc etc. It seems not too much has been "finalized" yet.

I just read the rest of the thread to get an idea of what we had already talked about. I think the original 151 would be cool for the initial setup, but what's just me. I've played Blue, Silver, Crystal, and Sapphire. I actually don't even have any problems adding the G/S/C Pokemon, but having 450+ Pokemon would be insane and not very cool. RBY and GSC were the best, so I think we should stick with those ones. Stick to Johto and Kanto.
Also, (*assumes he's been made GM already*) I think we should start taking reservations on characters. I'll take Brock for sure right now, and maybe later another character.
Also, I just wanted to clarify main character names as their offically unofficial names, for clarification.
RBY - Red (male starter), Leaf (female starter), and Blue (rival).
GSC - Gold (male starter), Kris or Crystal (female), and Silver (rival).
So...I'll make the list.

Those are just the characters in RBY and GSC that you could name. Those are the names that they go by on the fanbase. So we don't have somebody trying to call Red Ash, or Blue Gary.

What about created characters? And I'd really prefer that all existing pokémon be allowed, with the restriction of not being able to own legendaries.
Marko, I tried sending you an invite on MSN to chat, too bad Jinn doesn't seem to have one, so we could all figure this out, 'cause it seems like there are too many different ideas here, and that can't be good. We need to bang out a consistent rule list.

12-07-2007, 08:40 PM
Personally, I think Gym Leaders and Villians should be taken directly from the games, while Trainers create their own character. Characters like Red should be NPC'd, and should be a role-model (or something like that) to our own Trainers. Just my thoughts, though.
Mr. Marko
12-07-2007, 08:42 PM
I would be okay to have created players, but I think it would be cool to have them fall under a certain class as listed here:
http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Trainer_classes
Just an idea, but that doesn't necessarily have to happen. You would need to be known as a Swinner or something. Just to give more direction to the character. He doesn't have to be in a speedo all the time, but you get the idea.

12-07-2007, 09:10 PM
I see where your coming from Marko. Instead of just saying that your character is beginning their journey as a Pokemon Trainer or something generic like that, you want people to flesh out their character and give them intrests other than Pokemon.

Yeah, that's a good point. I'd also have a little more freedom with the character as well. Still I like the idea of the RPG starting at the beginning of Red/Blue/Yellow, and then Season I would end at the end of Season I.

I've used that wikia site too. However, I wish it was more exact on details of what Pokemon Team Rocket Grunts carried. I've been playing through Pokemon Yellow recently and have been keeping track, but it'd be much easier if I could find a site with that information :o
Only three? Even though its freakin' Giovanni!? Now, if this RPG were to happen at the beginning of Red/Blue/Yellow, then I could work on a plan of starting out with three with me (around upper level 20's), having a few of his 'finest' back at his Headquarters (around level 40-50), and then he has to catch the rest.
If its after the events of Red/Blue/Yellow, in the games hes already had 5 high level Pokemon from his Gym, not to mention probably 3-4 others from two fights that Red had with him in Silph Co.

Would not the Elite Four stay the same, even if Red is the Pokemon Master?
If this RPG is after Red/Blue/Yellow, then shouldn't Blue now be a part of the Elite Four? (seeing as how he's technically the second most powerful trainer next to Red). If that happens, which of the Elite Four would get booted off? Or would it maybe become an Elite Five?

I was talking to SF, and what could be interesting would be 3 Pokemon to start off from, but each one had to be from a different "game". Like, you couldn't have Charmander and have Sandshrew for example. I think that is one way you can have all of the Pokemon on the game without any problems.
And then, you have the option to catch up to 3 more Pokemon; having no more than 6 to me would be best, but if it was 6 at a time like the games, than oh well. All SUPER rares (which are obvious, but typically towards the end of the lists) would be uncatchable, but you could chase/fight them, etc for storie elements.
Other than that? The rest doesn't bother me too much what happens when all is decided.

Then what the hell is someone like Mr. Marko supposed to do, he's playing Brock, who only had a Geodude and an Onyx! Are you to tell me that he could only be allowed to have his Onyx since you can get both a Geodude and an Onyx in the same game? Or is he not even allowed both since both Geodude and Onyx are catchable in Red, Blue, and Yellow?
Giovanni runs into similar problems, considering he only has certain Pokemon.
This rule is SEVERELY limiting, especially to established canon characters who have specific Pokemon. Plus, this is an RPG that should have ALL 151 Pokemon open to us (well, minus having the Legendaries catchable of course). Yes, this RPG is based on the games, but that doesn't mean we have to live by their limitations. Hell, I wanna have some 2 vs. 2 Pokemon battles!

Like I mentioned before, Giovanni, is well, the LEADER of Team Rocket. He should be able to have more then 6. Though not more then six at a time of course, he would leave some back at headquarters.
Now, I could understand these rules if this was a Pokemon RPG with just made-up beginner trainers, but this isn't the case. Just about anyone is available, and there seems to be too many trainers I could think of that would break these rules.

I could argue for certain rules to be bent slightly for those playing Gym Leaders and the like (like maybe allowing one more to start with, or another fully evolved Pokémon to start).
And I think it's best that we don't limit which games the pokemon on your team come from. Have a mix, have a whole Kanto team, whatever it doesn't matter.
And by the way, 2 vs. 2 battles ARE in the games.

Plus, this is an RPG that should have ALL 151 Pokemon open to us (well, minus having the Legendaries catchable of course). Yes, this RPG is based on the games, but that doesn't mean we have to live by their limitations. Hell, I wanna have some 2 vs. 2 Pokemon battles!
Like I mentioned before, Giovanni, is well, the LEADER of Team Rocket. He should be able to have more then 6. Though not more then six at a time of course, he would leave some back at headquarters.
Now, I could understand these rules if this was a Pokemon RPG with just made-up beginner trainers, but this isn't the case. Just about anyone is available, and there seems to be too many trainers I could think of that would break these rules.
I should have been more clear. That rule was obviously only if you were to create your own trainer. :clown:

Ok, I'm still confused about some things...
Are you using Generation I and II? Or just I?
Unless you're a Leader, you can't have more than 3 Pokemon?
Are you using Trainer Classes?
What's the process of catching a Pokemon? If it's not limited in some way, people will just be like, "Look at that! I just caught a wild Gyrados, level 56!"

All the Pokémon that currently exist are available (aside from the legendaries), but the action will take place mostly in Kanto (the first Gen region for the uninitiated) although I want Johto to be used as well.
No levels. I think it flows better that way. As in the anime and manga, the battles are more like what we're used to here in the RPGs.
Created characters start with three, but can catch more eventually. As for the Gym Leaders (and pre-existing Trainers in the game), I was thinking of letting them start with the Pokémon they have in their latest chronological appearance in the games (i.e. Gold and Silver for the Kanto guys, as it takes place two years after Red/Blue/Yellow).
Yes, we are using trainer classes to help develop a characters focus on their Pokémon, as well as their outside interests.
Catching a Pokémon in a post should be a big dramatic event, even if it is just a Rattata or Caterpie. Put some effort into it, make it believable and it'll be fun.

I could argue for certain rules to be bent slightly for those playing Gym Leaders and the like (like maybe allowing one more to start with, or another fully evolved Pokémon to start).
And I think it's best that we don't limit which games the pokemon on your team come from. Have a mix, have a whole Kanto team, whatever it doesn't matter.
And by the way, 2 vs. 2 battles ARE in the games.
I know that the later generations had 2 vs 2, I was making a point that I don't want EVERY Generation 1 rule to be followed to the mark (including Red/Blue-only Pokemon limitations).
Yo, I think I may be in for a Gym leader. I don't want a huge role. I just want to be able to fight some people. Am I allowd to pick any Gym leader not taken?
I'm not a GM, but I'm pretty sure you can Syn. Marko has Brock and I have Giovanni. Btw which Gym Leader were you thinking? :huh:
I should have been more clear. That rule was obviously only if you were to create your own trainer. :clown:
Oh I see, then I'm not as worried about it :oldrazz:

Do realize that I see some people in this RPG (like me) are not that familiar with Johto.

That sounds good, turn-based battles in a forum RPG are a big no. It would be good if in the bio, you give a slight idea of what level your Pokemon may be though.

Well, it appears that Giovanni basically disappears after R/B/Y, so I suppose I'll stick with his Viridian Gym lineup. Could I include Pokemon that he's had in his confrontations with Red, or some specific version ones? (in Yellow, he has a Persian, but in Red/Blue, he has a Kangaskhan)
I did some research on Team Rocket on what happened after Kanto ... Something about the remnants being controlled by a guy with an Ice Mask and a whole bunch of crap. Could I PLEASE retcon that and go with something actually cool?

We're thinking of keeping the characters and world in Kanto and Johto (you can find maps of Johto if you're no too familiar with it), but all Pokemon are available. (even into DP).
I think that gym leaders should be allowed to explore beyond their Pokemon they have in the games. For example, I was thinking of giving Brock something like a Poliwhirl to level out his ranks a bit, along with Geodude and Onix. Maybe say you can have one apart of the original roster or something.
RESERVE LIST
Brock - Mr Marko
Giovanni - NamesAreUseless
Any more takers on the reserve list?
I'm also thinking for the gym leaders, they should have a bigger role than just fighting people so they can get badges. What does everyone think of having them reimagined as the resident enforcer/sheriff/kick-your-ass Pokemon expert in the city. Just a thought.

Diamond and Pearl. You don't need to personally go with the ones beyond Gold and Silver. Just stick with those ones. Its seems to me that most people are going to be sticking with that anyways, but we're just leaving the other ones open just in case somebody wants to have one of the newer ones.

The RPG will take place in Kanto.
First Gen and Second Gen Poke' are available. Anything past that must be approved by GM.
NO Legendaries. They can be NPC'd but only if given permission.
Players can start off with three. Anymore must be kept somewhere else. To get these out of storage you must put one in you possession in it's place.Thats all I got from what I've read. I'll make up a player application tonight.

I am pretty sure that is only if you are going to make your own character.
We're thinking of it being for all characters off the bat. Then again, now that I think about it, we may need to reevaluate that. For now the rules stand, as well as the rule that only one can be fully evolved from the start. So you couldn't start with Charizard, Blastoise, and Venusaur, you would have to pick one and have the others evolve later in the story (but not too soon). We're just doing this to keep a balance between characters so there is a fair initial playing field. With Giovanni you could even just have his others stashed away somewhere, or confiscated by authorities or something. It would be cooler if Giovanni was making his way back up again.

Yeah, confiscated by authorities sounds good. He's probably abused the poor little buggers :woot:
The "comeback" sounds kinda fitting for him, thanks for the idea!
I think I have an idea of what I want to do:
- After Red defeated him, Red had the local authorities arrest him: at the start, he'll be sitting behind bars.
- His 5 Gym Pokemon have been confiscated by the local authorities and have been stored somewhere secretive; Giovanni will try to find them.
- A jail break will commence, as uncaptured Rocket Grunts break him and some other Rockets out.
- He'll be given a Pokemon or two from one of the Grunts (they'll be pretty worthless, but at least they're something!)
- He'll have 2 Pokemon (these being alright ones) that weren't confiscated that are sitting back at Rocket HQ
Sound good?

Allll righty I just started reading this thread and I'm totally in. I've got a lot of thoughts too...here comes the storm...
http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Main_Page
This is my personal resource for Pokemon info. And just a personal opinion on the topic, I think that it would be cooler if we had to choose only three initial Pokemon. If everyone has six that could be alot to keep tabs on.
-It would probably help a LOT with organization if everyone playing used one source for all our information, that way we could all be familiar with the same site when retrieving information, finding out what unfamiliar pokémon were like, looking at worlds unfamiliar to some players, etc.
The GM's could just choose whatever site they want us to use or something...
-On the note of the whole class thing, it would be pretty cool to have our characters fall under a certain theme (not necessarily from a set list) but basically just have their pokémon based around something (so we'd essentially all be using the class list, but it leaves room for creativity.)
-The idea of keeping it restricted to one world also sounds like it would work really well...some people might prefer johto to kanto or something and then some characters would just never interact ever and that keeps down the amount of information everyone has to keep track of (cities, gym leaders, locations, etc.)
-I had some pretty strong ideas about the number of pokémon everyone's allowed as well. A lot of you probably won't like them very much but I think it'd keep things more controlled and organized. Here goes: Three pokémon on hand, six maximum. This way we don't have anyone playing a jack of all trades-type character who technically has a theme but just has a ton of pokémon that have nothing to do with his motif stored away (like a swimmer who has a squirtle, a tentacool, and a octillery on hand, but could go get an onix, jolteon, or machamp any time he wanted to. Having these pokémon but keeping to your theme would be pointless anyway, cuz you'd just have a lot of pokémon in the PC that you'd never ever use.) Even though a six maximum is pretty limiting, you could just release one you don't want/need anymore and go find something more suitable without a lot of trouble. Again, this also keeps players from deviating from their theme, since the regular trainers have themes, as do the gym leaders.
Also, having three on hand would make battles much less convoluted, as you could use your full force (all three) with ease, not having to think about all six of your opponents pokémon every time you make a decision during a battle. It would be pretty easy to use a fire type move to get rid of a grass pokémon, only to realize that you forgot about their rock type that's been sitting their waiting to block a fire move. Then your fire type is open to a hit from a from their ground type, or that one with the water move you forgot it had, or the unlikely threat of a pokémon that happened to have previously learned a rock-type move from a TM that you didn't know about.
Lol anyway, such confusion could easily arise with a large number of pokémon on the field.
...I think that's all :]. Enjoy the read...
