This is a Pokemon Tabletop Adventures Game, using the latest version of the rules as displayed here (
http://pokemontabletop.wikidot.com/). It will be hosted on Maptools, we tend to use an old version 'b84'. Make sure you download the right one!
We haven't nailed down the day of the week we will be playing on, but I'm hoping we can do the first session tonight, and answer any questions about character creation or the rules if we have new players in need of help. Just bring a decent character concept and you can still RP.
Setting:The Treazur Islands were first discovered by civilized man during the age of sail, and quickly became known as a place of abundant adventure, resources, and supernatural energy. Many nations layed claim to the small region, and several wars were fought over its control. Eventually a treaty was signed, declaring that no nation would get the strategic islands. Instead the region became a place of refuge for primitive people and powerful Pokemon, visited only occasionally by scientists, fugitives, and adventurers.
The Treazur region remained like this, off limits to most of the world, for several centuries. Recently however the Pokemon League has settled the area, claiming that as an organization independant from any and all governments it was allowed to develop the islands as it saw fit. Now trainers, researchers, and casual thrill seekers flock to Treazur, hoping to explore the long forbidden land and challenge the brand new Treazur League!
You are one such group. You and your companions have just split the difference and purchased a boat. You have spent weeks preparing for this journey, and now all that is left for you to do is strike the earth and seek your fortune!
Character Creation Rules:TL 5 start. Non stat-based class and feat preqs are waived during character gen. 5000py budget for starting items. Wild Child is allowed. Glitch trainer, or soldier. Any other homebrew class available upon request.
2 lvl 20 starters. No legends. Each starter may have any one item (TM, Vitamin, held item, ect) or trainer feat from any class (Yes any Pokemon enhancing feat at all [just don't find something broken and make me regret it], if the feat calls for a Stat mod as a variable, use 4) successfully applied to them.
At least a couple people should take Pokemon or Feats to allow for the easy crossing of water.
Trainer EXP System:We will be using an experimental system of my own design to earn TL ups and other boons.
Current ways to earn Trainer EXP:You earn 1 TEXP for each new Pokemon species you encounter.
You earn 1 TEXP for each Pokemon species you own.
You lose 1 TEXP if you voluntarily release or trade a Pokemon and don't own another member of its species. (Prevent Trade Scumming)
You earn 1-5 TEXP for a journal entry.
You earn 5 TEXP for being the first one to post an acceptable and updated map when new locations are discovered.
You earn 1-3 TEXP for being named trainer MVP of an encounter. (May be GMs call or put up to a vote)
Additional TEXP may be handed out at the whim of the GM. Do not bug the GM for TEXP.
Current things to spend Trainer EXP on (Subject to Update):You may spend 25 TEXP to gain a Trainer Level. (You may not buy TLs this way if you are currently 3 levels higher than any party member)
You may spend 17 TEXP to gain a Trainer Level if you are the lowest leveled (or tied with only one other person) trainer.
You may spend 6 TEXP to select a subplot reward set. The next 5 times I roll to select a reward set I will first roll a d3. On a 3 I instead pick a reward from your chosen reward set
You may spend 3 TEXP to select one of the following moves: Flash, Cut, Whirlpool, Surf, Waterfall, Rock Climb, Strength, Dive, or Fly. At least one Pokemon in the next wild encounter will know the chosen move.

You may spend 9 TEXP to claim a vacant flat in the Undertown as your own personal house.
Reward Sets:On most occaisions where I roll up a situation involving 2 or more non plot related encounters on one island, I will throw in a faboulous reward by rolling a d10 and picking from one of the following sets. These sets will yield powerful Items, Pokemon, and/or abilities. In most cases the more times a particular set is rolled, the more powerful the reward is going to be, however some sets simply build up to a single almighty prize! Most of these reward sets reference previous PTA games that I have participated in.
