Pokemon Theme Game (Proceeding!)

[Arckas]

And Arckas, I would think people in a village would know each other's partner pokemon. If I were to do a village, I'd just keep everyone as pokemon for simplicity's sake. Probably make it a pokemon sanctuary, with some invaders of course. Also, I'm not trying to write something about the bond between pokemon and their trainer. It isn't important to this game.

You wouldn 't know who the your fellow villagers are because thats just how it is for the actual game and FM. Draing the line there so there could be a game, it would be even harder to narrate a story about pokemon when you couldn't refer to the players because their apperance is the pokemon of the role that they portray.

Having a village of pokemon trainers with their own seperate background would make it a better story, narration, and in my opinion a better pokemon based game.

If you would like, I can start the bio's using interchangable parts for role I am developing. [interchangable parts you'll see later today]


Though unless a mod has a problem, whatever you want.

Perhaps a Mystery Dungeon style story?

...I have never played those, so I don't know. >.>

It might be harder, but not impossible. I'm not going to be writing a novel. I'm not doing a village of trainers, though, so it'll probably be a competition. That'll be more fun for me too. I'll be editing the OP to reflect these choices in the near future (aka, when not on the craptop; probably when I get home tonight).

[atoonlinktothepast]

What will the attacked message be like? Is it going to be something along the lines of:

'atoonlinktothepast has (fainted / been 1-Hit KO'd / blacked out). He was dealt damage by a Dark-type Pokémon (Mafia Killing).

We found an outgoing letter.
{LAST WILL}

We found a received letter.
{DEATH NOTE}

atoonlinktothepast's Pokémon was Xatu'

I wish Pikachu was an Electrician...

[TheCow]

I wish Pikachu was an Electrician...

Clearly Rotom would be the Electrician.

[Invenio]

Bodyguard - Kabutops Shieldon obviously.
Medium - Jynx Hmm.... Jynx should probably be escort/consort. Meditite would probably be better.
Transporter - Ambipom Gogoat is the better choice.
Consort - Hypno Ok. I get it puts people to sleep. Why not stick with the "manipulative beauty?" Milotic? Jynx?
Consigliere - Trevenant I don't understand this one for an investigative role. Alakazam?
Janitor - Sableye I don't get the reasoning. Water type makes more sense. Squirtle?
Phantom - Wobbuffet Needs to be ghost type. Shuppet?
Jester - Sneasel May I suggest Wobbuffet to go here instead?
Bomber - Electrode I only changed this to fit investigation results. My one regret.

And we actually got a role card together for the Marshal, so here it is:

Marshal

You are a Marshal

Your alignment is Town Protective.

Once a figurehead of the law, you experienced a horrific accident and have vowed not to kill anymore. Instead you decide to use your presence as a deterrent to these thugs that have rooted themselves in your hometown.

You may choose to follow one player each night. Your presence scares one malicious person from targeting them.
You will not be informed if you protected your target, but whoever you scare away will be notified.
Should your target be visited by multiple people with malicious intent, only one will flee. (Mafia Deception > Escort/Consort > Killing Roles)
Stalkers and Serial Killers will ignore your presence.

You win with the Town
You win with Survivors
You must kill the Mafia
You must kill Arsonists
You must kill Witches
You must kill Serial Killers
You must kill Stalkers
You must kill Bombers
You may spare anyone else

[Nellyfox]

I'm guessing 'killing roles' includes vigilantes, or no ?

[ValeforRaine]

Yep, vigilantes are included in that.

[Metrion]

All roles affected in probable order:

Framer
Disguiser
Janitor

Consort
Escort

Vigilante
Bomber
Arsonist
Mafioso & Godfather

[Nellyfox]

If Marshal scares off malicious roles shouldn't consort be a bigger priority than escort ?

[Metrion]

If Marshal scares off malicious roles shouldn't consort be a bigger priority than escort ?

Not really if they are paired close to each other. I can't think of a situation were having the Consort switched with the Escort on the list helps town any more than the other way. Or making much of a difference at all.

They both have the same effect.

Pfft.
Yes Metrion. |-(

[Metrion]

My thought on it was that a Town member is much more likely to listen to another townie than a mafia member of the same role but for balance's sake there is one scenario, granted helps town they way the order is now, it would be changed if we flip them.

Consort and Escort visit the same target.

Escort gets stopped and confirms the existance of the Marshal.

The target is still roleblocked by the Consort.

Meanwhile if we swap them.

Escort and Consort visit the same target.

Consort gets stopped, confirmes the existance of a Marshal but has no obligations to tell town.

The target is still roleblocked by the Escort.

That's probably a rare occurance without a town head and if there is a town head they can still easily deduce that a Marshal exists but I would like to cut down on Marshal stopping town.

So good idea in the end Nelly.

[LeScraf]

If you want, I can type up some messages for you.

I am pretty good at Pokemon...

I also agree with more of a Mystery Dungeon style.

In case you don't know what that is, basically a human was turned into a Pokemon and now lives among other Pokemon that know how to speak English in a village.

What's this ? Metrion praise ?
Oh, you. <3

I'm all set on things. I already have some stuff figured out (need some time to finish and add it). It's going to be a competition of some sort, with trainer/Pokemon partners. I'm not comfortable basing this on a game I never played.

Metrion that's making me cringe.
No one has plates in competitive. :|
Chansey don't run leftovers, they generally have eviolites.

(Nice reference to that movie with Mewtwo though.)

Plates are just as competitive as any other type damage booster and a hell of a lot more usefull on sweepers if you dob't want to lock them down. You have a point with Chanseys having eviolite, but leftovers actually heal, seems more appropriate.

Obviously I haven't been following this thread. :roll:
Now if you change Chansey to Blissey things would make more sense. ;D

[ValeforRaine]

Competitive doesn't really matter anyway. If this were competitive, Pokemon would have more than one or two moves. So, yeah, I'm stealing that. Thank you Metrion~

Death is a little much for Pokemon. Plus Jinx and Cloyster don't actually have any contact with dead pokemon and the fact that they are both ice types makes more sense.

Noctowl/Togekiss/Mismagius was really generic so I switched that one too. I'd like to switch Metagross/Haunter/Ditto also but I can't thing of anything.

[ValeforRaine]

THERE METRION. I'M LOOKING AT IT.

Also, yeah, yours are waaaaaay better than mine. I'd like to change Metagross/Haunter/Ditto too, but as we can see I was also struggling to come up with something that doesn't suck. >.>
