No I understood the actual subject completely, its the way you write things.

For instance, I have no idea what your action is.

   Oh, I basicly am saying I go to the rest of the group but stating out some things to make it more likely that it will work. For instance I first say that I head back to where I had last seen everyone and I am using it in this way so I don't just skip right to the search roll. Hopefully I will be able to just go back to where I last was before heading out but if I don't find people there I don't want to be standing around like a lemon as everyone else heads off somewhere so I add some more things. Thats the next part, it would be metagamey to say I head to where the others are so instead I use my metagame knowledge to know the others headed back towards the blimp thing and then rationalize my character heading that way by basically just making it be him searching for them in the direction we came from. After that I have either not found the group so I will continue to try to reunite with the party next turn or I found them. I could just end my action there but what if the group heads off somewhere. Of course even if I don't state it my character would probably just autofollow them but I added in the last bit about following the group just in case I don't so next turn I don't have to attempt to catch up with everyone.

I think you are overthinking it.

Also good lord man, walls of text.

Jac's transformation is supposed to be a Bioturgic spell.  I assumed Jac came from a magic-enabled world.

Sean, if you tell me to, I'll stay within realistic human abilities.

Meanwhile, I'll go reread the OPs.

   I think we are tending more towards staying within the current worlds physics rather then whatever dimension we came from originally as we don't seem to have any specifics on it. Also I am having troubles with remembering what to call the different ages/worlds/dimensions/planes because I know to many ways of saying it. Is there a specific phrasology we are using for it?

There's some lore in the OPs, but mostly what you're likely to have as skills is anything a human is theoretically likely to have within the world you're visiting, as well as some form of "magic" via techniques and psychic abilities. You've just happened to fall into a world where humans are mostly normal, and all the weird powers are handled by Pokemon.

A specific term is "universe", "world", or more within the context of the game, a "multiworld".

   Yeah, the only real powers you could probably pick up here is psychic powers. Not that those are bad, in fact best of all is that as far as psychic powers go your the least likely to melt your brain with these. Though I would advise if you do pick them up to either befriend psychic pokemon or avoid them completely as they might want to posses you or mind control you.
   Oh and I just remembered something, pokemon are basically as smart as humans. While it isn't specifically stated various things point to it. For instance Alakazam is stated as many times smarter then humans so the possibility for intelligent pokemon is proven. Then with the addition of Team Rockets Meowth proves that most other pokemon are basically human level intellect through not only its own ability to talk but also by relaying what other pokemon are saying. Also psychic pokemon in general seem to be able to communicate with humans through telepathy just fine.

Okay, I understand.

Jac's genderlessness is part of the residual effects of overusing bioturgy, just like how a necromancer might get a bit grey and lifeless on the way to eventually turning into a lich.

Since there is no such thing in Pokémon, he has reverted to his original sex/gender.  (Cue "Are you a boy or a girl?" pokéjoke.)

Yeah. Even though this is Multiworld Madness, beyond the two or four other selectable species, the humans are pretty much physically normal. You can still be genderless if you want, I mean it's not like it's unheard of anywhere. A mutation or whatever, it doesn't impact your stats or skills, just appearance and, er... well, let's hope this game won't cover that. :P

Anyways. Update! A shortish one, but things to do around the hill are rapidly running out, unless you're planning on grinding some combat experience. ;) Get together and figure out what you want to do with the Turtwig, and you can start moving elsewhere.

Annd another update! I kinda forgot to update the title of the thread when I updated because I got distracted here, but there's an update nevertheless!

Feel free to decide where to in in-character or in the discussions here. If you just post your opinions in-character, the majority vote will win.

Roll to AI? I don't think I had much in the way of that, it was just a d6 roll. Standard 1 to 6 progression, ranking on how good of an idea the action would be.
