Is the combat very similar at all to that of the games? I'm only about 120 pages through the handbook so far...

I've learned that pokemon can have quite a few more moves learned at one time compared to the games. So that's a plus for this system so far to me.

Time for RP!

I figure I'll be writing a journal here, like I do in my other maptools game-at the very least, it will provide thread bumps. :P

The Journal of Desmond Blue is a Silph Co. Junior Plus Pad..it's a thin, single paged reading and writing device-made to last and impervious to most any element, it's face and writing tools are completely electronic, allowing him to work in any condition without the need to hall around sheafs of paper or pencils-it's power system, solar, with backup batteries. He can freely store a nearly unlimited amount of information, and call upon with a few key presses. It's got his name on the front, on a stamped metal plate. He usually stores it on the left side of his backpack when travelling.

He actually got if for his Nineteenth birthday, and it sat on his top closet shelf for almost three years, before he managed to happen upon it as he was gathering up the last of his things. Thinking that great Heroes always had impressive journals of their adventures, he took it and began to write...

Alright. Kuji should be sending you each a little survey to figure out your starting Pokemon. Complete it in character and get it back to us pronto.

Questionare answered and returned. :) I'm quite looking forward to this.

Also, if anyone needs a token made for the game of their trainer. I can make it for them. I have all the tools, just need an image you like, or at least a general description of what they should look like.

PM sent, although I have no idea what kind of Pokemon this will lead to.  :P

Yeah, I wonder if we're just going to be set onto one of three starters from any of the generations, or it could be any of them. Should be interesting!

Oh Hakia, can you make that a hex and send it to Kuji?

Pokemon get round tokens Barbarossa, trainers get hexes. If you use that as it is I will have an NPC throw a Pokeball at you.

hex-ed and tokenized. I can drag it into the maptools on game day, or you can right click and save the image as you please.

Ah, I already have a hex'd version in my library. Thanks, though. I, for one, hope that our starters will be more varied than the fire/grass/water starter trios.

I CAN say that none of your starters (well, the ones that turned your questionnaire in) aren't regular starter material. We are waiting on one person, though.
