If we can modify the moves, we might also be able to get it to cause the enemy pokemon team to lose a lot of speed.
We could probably give it a special ability that auto-paralyzes+slows when it hits, at least.

Or we could have a weather effect called "lag" and associate it with the pokemon.

Oh god yes.

EVERYONE gets paralyzed except electric types. :P

Well, I'm willing to help come up with ideas. Not so much actually do any hacking since I don't know shit about coding but you'll have my help.

The Professor Oak of this game has to be a crazy drunken hobo. It would explain the Professor Oak memes.

So a dwarf, then :P

What about the starter Mon's? Part of me is enamored of the idea that the three starters should represent DF's three modes- Fort, Adventure, and Legends. Fort would be Fire and loosely follow the timeline of Boatmurdered.

Right, since this is going to be a collaborative project and all, how are we going to share this? Is everybody just going to PM me (or somebody else) links, or should we set up a GitHub project? Or perhaps something else?

I've also found a place to download a ROM of Pokemon FireRed. Unless somebody objects, I'll be downloading it right now.

So a burning elephant as its final form?

I'd say they should be based on the three legendary enemies:

Elephants and Carp and Unicorns.

Also, I vote for github.

All the pokemon should remain exactly the same, except with beards.

Also, is anyone actually volunteering to do the hacking on this?

So fire- Elephant

Water- Mega Carp

Grass- Unicorn or Horse

------------------------------------------

Even better, the Carps final form could be a gigantic skeletal Carp

Kinseti, I'm hoping the hacking will be a team effort. I'll definitely be working on it, though.

Also, we are dwarves, let's move beyond fire/water/grass!

Starters should be fire/rock, water/poison, and dark/steel.

So fire- Elephant

Water- Mega Carp

Grass- Unicorn or Horse

I heartily endorse this event or product.

By the by, are we going to make up the kinds of punny names typical of Pokemon, or just play it straight?

Boatborn : An stone elephant-like creature with flaming eyes.
Evolutions: Boatblasted -> Boatmurdered

Carp: A mutant fish that has been twisted by pollution.
Evolutions: Recarp (zombie carp, oh god) -> Necrowhale (zombie whale) (This tree comes from being exposed to a necrostone)
                Megacarp -> Forgotten Beast

And the last one is obviously a Unicorn of dark/steel type. Which fits, I think. ;)

Trainer types should include the following:

Urist: sprite is a dwarf. generally use ground, steel, rock types. all their names begin with Mc (ex Urist McFisher)

Elf: the bad guys of the setting. use psychic, dark, grass and bug types. are planning to prevent all deforestation and mistreatment of plants. should be a thinly veiled PETA parody

Demons: use psychic, dark, and ghost types. thay all look like either MISSINGNO or &



and can we somehow include a dark type gym for once?

Hmmm.

Elite Four should be headed by Cacame Awemedinade?

Clearly there should be a Cavern Badge, where the trainers use dark themed cavern critters.

And Morul, and The Captain, and...

Cacame is the champ

Elite 4 contains Toady one and Threetoe (double battle?). possibly other indy devs. we use the whole elite 4 section to break the 4th wall.
