Welcome back to Pokécharms! We've recently launched a new site and upgraded forums, so there may be a few teething issues as everything settles in. Please see our Relaunch FAQs for more information.

Hence "is a sock-puppeting little child who has been thoroughly banned and their posts removed from the thread", Hotshot14380. Trust me, we have ways of finding this out. He and "Greninja." was... like.. his fourth sockpuppet. XD Good grief.
Anyway, carry on!
Anyway, carry on!
Well, the first rounds haven't even started yet, so you should be good, but that's be choice to call.
XD no, it's not a helipad, but that is a very funny interpretation. It's really just the logo of a made up superhero I made, which I make stories about sometimes, he is even part of a team cal- well, you get the point.
Yea, I think it's going really well right now, why don't you like RP battles?
Oh yea, but I feel like the people on this RP are more fair and mature towards battles, like the ones in this tournament:
https://pokecharms.com/threads/sinnoh-league-tounament.16573/
They are all fair in making moves and it's actually really cool to follow.

That does seem more fair, but then it kind of becomes boring. It's just back and forth turns until someone wins. RP battles give it more excitement, I guess.
Oh, and also, if you'd like I have a hoenn league tournament sign up on the discussion page, if you want to sign up for that.

sounds good, and hope you get accepted!
Well since the discussion is open, you technically don't need the owner's permission. Either way, after being in so many rps with Jagson, I'm pretty sure he'll accept you.
Your accepted @Roanawesomeguy897
Also a brief summery for @Mr Fishykarp figured I should do this every so often so you don't get left behind. Basically after Drew left Luke he started eating he met up with Riley and Lyra they found a gem and Zack hunter is I believe training

Zack is sleeping to get ready for first round's the next day, he was training earlier though
have u read the recent posts?
have u read the recent posts?
oh, ok then, .3.
Kind of broke the RP, cuz I forgot Skycaptain never said she went to sleep, but I think it's ok if she just puts that she went to sleep and woke up. So... yeah
It's all good my dood, you did a good job moving things along. I just wasn't on all day, my bad.
alright as long I didn't break time, I'm all good. Dialga would be pissed...
Here's the list for the first round's battle order youll have a twenty four hour grace period from the point the last person finished theirs to complete the battle. If you don't do it in that time frame you will be eliminated
- Riley @Retro Master
- Zack @Hotshot14380
- Nion @Roanawesomeguy897
- Will @Mr Fishykarp
- Blonde haired guy myself
- Dex @Daffodile Daily
- Layla @skycaptain
- Drew myslef
A couple questions and comments here:
So for the first few rounds we do our own battles for each character against random characters we make up? Also wouldn't it be better if we used showdown so it would be fair for those going for the win. If two people in the finals really want to win it will end up like Hoenn unless we use showdown or some type of battle simulator. I'm having Riley go for the win and if he's going to lose I want it to be fair and not because some miracle happens. And if you lose on showdown there isn't any complaining. Then once the battle is simulated, you have an idea on how to write it into the thread.

Well, some people might not even know what showdown is, or how to use it, and also, people would have some trouble trying to remember how the battle went, unless they write down everything, so it would be quite a struggle.
Honestly I think it will be easier if we used a voting system. People vote on who will win, based on... That's all I got

No you do need to know how the battle happened, in order to put it into the RP, or else it's just like
The two trainers sent out there pokemon, and began battling it out. In the end, Trainer 2 won, and they continued on.

I guess I forgot too say that you save a replay since they have that option. Here's proof right here: https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/customgame-457653273 (Custom Game replay: Iblockya vs. RetroMaster14 - Pokémon Showdown)
That's a replay from last year. It was the Johto League Tournament finals between me and @Iblockya
Click the link and you can watch the replay how many times you want.

I think the best option is RPing it out, everyone here seems to be able to play fair, and know when they got hit by a close range razor leaf. In the finals, it might take longer, because they really want to win, but in the end the two people would work it out. Or maybe only use voting for the finals.
IDK, I guess I just think it's not really fun when the winner is decided by showdown. Then it goes by how well they are at the game, and you can't really get creative in battle.

By the third round in Hoenn we could barely get past the first match between two rpers and it took two weeks. And don't say they were dodging everything because halfway through started taking hits. It also helped in that thread's death which is one of the reasons I'm against this.
Well RP takes forever, Showdown might be better, but it's losing in votes, so what are we gonna do?
I think I see the problem here! Some people might be worried that if we do showdown then we'll just RP that. Like Muk use sludge bomb or what ever someone would say. Well that's NOT how it works. One of the reasons I like showdown better is that the battle actually shows who's going too win instead making up everything on the go. It's an actual simulation. If we just roleplay it, there will definitely be problems on what moves hit and what moves don't. How much health your Pokemon has and stuff like that. On showdown we have a sure fire way on what's going to happen.
One of the reasons I see that people don't want to use showdown is because it takes that creativity away. I actually believe the opposite. It has the potential for it too be more creative. When you do the battles on showdown, afterwards you get to save that replay. When you save it you get to rewatch it as many times as you want. The reason I say it has the potential to be more creative is that once you do the battle, you know exactly what's going to happen. Now when you have to write it down, you have a base on where to start on your attack. You don't have too find creative ways too dodge (unless it said your Pokemon avoided the attack), now you just have to write creative ways on how the attack went through. Depending on who's battling, it can create a nice creative experience with an already set ending. Instead of taking days too finish with each person taking longer times to come up with some new strategy they don't even know that will work, we can finish each battle within a day while writing each turn in depth.
