Yes there will probably be much reality ensues going on.

Law is basically nonexistent and highly understaffed in Pokemon  who are clearly incapable of defeating criminal organizations hell what is the government of Pokemon I doubt it's a democracy.

Do you legitimately think a lighthearted anime for children is a completely accurate depiction of the Pokemon universe? Is that what you think?

The games are worse if you actually look at the lore. Wait lt Sarge was in the anime wasent he so that means the Pokemon war happened and the reason most men are either criminals or old or rather young is because a war just happened where most of them died.Though I will say the anime is clearly a better place to live then the games.

[SOLDIER First]

He said the kids had them in the first place. Plus, your own Pokemon don't attack you (except Croagunk and whatnot, which was always for laughs) as long as they like you enough to obey.

They're the same universe. Ofcourse things irrelevant to the game or the anime aren't going to be mentioned, they're irrelevant. It's not that stupid crapsack "POKEMON IS ACTUALLY A DYSTOPIA" world.

But yeah, if it's going to be a crapsack AU, I'll stay out of it. For no other reason than 'if I wanted a crapsack Pokemon game, I'd go start an SMT RP mmk'.

[AbstractTraitorHero]

It's still a highly dangerous world with little law that is enforced and a economy that lives on having mostly or semi or sometimes fully sentient creatures fight each other.

No, that's just what we see of the world from the perspective of 10-year olds who are obsessed with Pokemans.

ITS NOT LIKE THAT
AAAAAH

It isn't, I believe. ATH is just assuming that for some reason. KJ probably means "if Pokemon can obey complex commands, they can throw rocks and be ordered to dodge.

[AbstractTraitorHero]

Yes it is but not nesscarily in this game.
After all tons of people could be convinced into team plasmas policy and were clearly adults and in the anime itself it is acknowledged that Pokemon do get hurt and feel pretty excruciating pain in some of these battles.

[SOLDIER First]

so why do you keep talking about it like it's Completely Canon if it has nothing to do with the game

[kj1225]

I would be interested. I played a lot of pokemon tabletop a few years back on maptools, had a lot of fun. Are you using that system? Or less a 'system' and more an idea of one?

Hey, haven't seen you in a while. As for the system it's more of an idea of one, though there are rules to it. For example moves with a charge up still need a 'turn' of time to charge and pokemon can only have four moves. BTW was the system the one that had moves for trainers? If so I liked that system.

But fighting dirty would lose you the match?

Only if you're caught during an official match. Otherwise it's heaily frowned upon and may get a Jenny on you.

Also, going to be posting some more stuff about the game (the location and general reason why you're all staying together beyond the fact that I will murder you if you do.) Later.

Also, it will be relatively light hearted.

get rekt

[BlitzDungeoneer]

Which reminds me, how do you intend to handle capturing Pokemon?

Ah, kj, I understand if you missed this, but...?

[AbstractTraitorHero]

I am taking about all avenues simple because the anime is lighter it is not as bad in the games but still it makes plenty of nods to the game and some of its events and some of the pokedex entry's in the anime are disturbing.

Cool I like light-hearted as long as it makes sense

get rekt

Nope.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Count me back in, then, senpai. :3

Yeah, it was a RPG version of the whole game.
