The Pokemon RP 4/5

[Drack]

This is an RP I've been planning for a while, but never got started after some planning and changes I have decided to finally try and start it. This will be a Pokemon RP based that takes place in a world similar to the game Pokemon Conquest the land will original and the characters also being a continent divided into 18 separate kingdoms (one for each Pokemon type). Also in the time this will take place the Pokeball hasn't been invented and Mega Evolution hasn't been discovered, so only special people who have the ability to form bonds with Pokemon have them meaning you can only have one Pokemon, and the Pokemon you pick decides the part of the land you come from.

Nations: (I might change some of these.)
Bug: Arachnis
Dark: Varlox
Dragon: Fangdar
Electric: Wattray
Fairy: Pixie
Fighting: Steelfist
Fire: Laval
Flying: Skywing
Ghost: Spectra
Grass: Greatwood
Ground: Terra
Ice: Snowspire
Normal: Palette
Poison: Maiasmya
Psychic: Psyonus
Rock: Orris
Steel: Metalnia
Water: Ladoga

The Plot: You will be the Son/Daughter of the Leader of the kingdom you live in, and due to recent tensions between all of the nations an uneasy treaty is currently being brokered by the Leaders of each Nation, and as a part of the treaty all the children from each Leader are placed together in one nation for there safety until the treaty is signed and peace is reached...How will this turn out, will there be peace amongst the Nations, or is there war on the horizon?

Character Sheets:

Couple questions, are we looking at a time period similar to the renaissance or say pre-industrial England? Also, shall the players also have Warrior skills as in the game, along with the other game mechanics? If some aren't, how will they work?

I'm definitely interested in this, but I want to know more about it before jumping right in. That and I've got to choose which pokemon I'd be paired with haha!

[Creator_Drake]

Name: Asmund Aradace
Description: Fit and well mannered young man of 21 who, though Prince of the Kingdom, has helped his fellow man since his youth and knows the meaning of a hard days work. Short brown hair, eyes green as emeralds and 6' even, many would mistake his for a fellow worker, and dressing much like his fellow workers doesn't help; blue shirt, grey overalls, brown boots.

Like the iron of his country he is slow to anger, and when angered is slow to cool, unless doused. A thinker and problem solver, his mind is sharper than his looks might allow. Perhaps that is why his partner chose him...

Warrior Skill: Faith - All ally moves successful (3 turns)
Kingdom: Metalnia

Pokemon partner: Beldum *shiney
Nature: Quirky
Moves: Take Down
Egg move(none available)

[Drack]

I was thinking around renaissance time period...also, I will throw in Warrior Skills in to keep things interesting but you only get one, and keep them to no more than a +1 buff to one stat, and minor healing (No more than 20hp) for now....also Shineys are are allowed I suppose

Should we put what kingdom we're from?

Yes, to make things clearer as some Pokemon have more than one type...

Posting this to help those who don't know much about Conquest.

Also you guys do understand Conquest has VERY different rules for battle and different Abilities than the main game?

[Drack]

I have the battle system figured out, more or less I'm just using Conquests theme and Warrior Skills (to make up for the lack of items.) So, in battle expect a more traditional Pokemon style (I'm using various tools like Smogon's Damage Calculator and other tools to keep it as close to the real deal as possible). So yes, I am not going to use any of the ability's from the conquest game so pick the normal ability's for your Pokemon , and on that note I should point out I am not going to be calculating EV's (mainly for my sanity) but instead all your Pokemon will have perfect IV's to balance that out.

[EndZoner]

How long will you be open for character applications?

[Nexous]

Talking to him if I remember correctly he's looking for 5 people.

[Drack]

Yes, I was going to keep it to about 5 people. Also, don't forget to pick Natures for your Pokemon...your only getting one Pokemon so I'll let you pick it's Nature.

I will allow Faith as a Warrior Skill, but not Willpower (Its the move twice part that mainly worries me.).

[Creator_Drake]

That's more than fair. Made edit as needed.

How will leveling work in this? Or better question, EXP acquisition?

[Drack]

To be honest that is the one thing I am having the most problems with...after some research I found there are 6 different types at which Pokemon gain EXP depending on what they are and that determines how much EXP it takes them to level up. The problem is....some of the formulas for calculating this are unknown, so pretty much I have to make ones for the missing formulas.

[Creator_Drake]

Yeah, I remember looking up if there were any graphs that had the required EXP numbers listed but I didn't have any luck. If worse comes to worst you could make up your own system, something perhaps a little simpler? Not from scratch of course but based

...and just randomly looking it up again I"M FINDING CHART TABLES?!?!?!

Well there is this online calculator, maybe it could help?

[Drack]

That helps out a lot thanks...also with some luck I found a table on Bulbapedia showing how much EXP a Pokemon need to reach a level based on its growth type, and both of those are going to save me a lot of math and headache.

[Nexous]

This is going to be fun. I'm starting off as support.

[TheShadoek]

I will go ahead and try to apply, if it is okay.
