@DopeLeafeon470 Sorry for the tag, but just to check what kind of areas there are on the island? I know theres a forest but I think I missed this kinda thing being mentioned in the discussion before
Yeah, agreed. The question is to when? I was thinking halloween but it could be a little early for thatDo we think we could probably do a timeskip after the day is over? Like, we have the time to explore, then we all go to Battle Strategies class, and then head back to the dorms? We should skip the dinner sequence this time.
I think the island was 1/4 beach, 1/4 rocky mountain area, and 1/2 forest. I could be getting it backwards but I think it was those three@DopeLeafeon470 Sorry for the tag, but just to check what kind of areas there are on the island?

Alright, that should work for the pokemon I plan to have Hokori catch. Now just to choose between the one on the beach or the one in rocky mountain area lolI think the island was 1/4 beach, 1/4 rocky mountain area, and 1/2 forest. I could be getting it backwards but I think it was those three
I feel like Togetic would fit the rocky area the mostWhere would a Togetic appear on the Island?
I'd be down for that, but I kinda planned to have Vars staying in the forest lead to Del's next pokemon, sorry@FlapJackSugaStak June is currently in the forest, so it would be funny if she saw Vars and attempted to catch her. Just to show why shiny Pokémon don’t walk alone. Should we do a little mini sequence like that?
Yeah, that sounds good@DopeLeafeon470 I think a months time would be good. Just to see how far everyone has come and how weve settled into classrooms. This can also be when Hanzo begins tryouts for the battle tournament team that can take place over Thanksgiving break where we have a huge tournament against Groudon Canyon Academy.
(Not connected to my plot idea I just still think the two schools rivalry would be cool and that in a pokemon school there would be like a sports team that battles against other schools best trainers.)
and it could become like a sports festival type arc after this timeskip where over the fall break the schools hold a bunch of different events
(Things that come to mind: Monday Pokeathalon, Tuesday Contest, Wednesday each school puts on a pokemon musical, Friday is the day of the battle tournament)
Yeah id assume that but they'd probably be just like rival npcs I'm thinking about mine nowWould this mean we'll have to make up student characters for Groudon Canyon? If that's the case, maybe I could add a minor(ish) character who Thomas used to know? One of those who used to make fun of him back when his Gyarados was only a Magikarp?
I just realized there's a lot of potential for a Jack rival for that sports festival thing
PerfectMaybe said Rival meets and beats Emma in Festival.
Well there are classes, but they're optional so most people would be heading elsewhereAlso, is this day just going to be another free day or do we actually have some classes? I wasn't planning on posting until a hypothetical Battle Stratagies Class but if its just a free day I'll probably have to wait a bit before my next post
Magnezone would mess up this team, Pelipper is 4x weak to Electric, the rest are weak to Steel.Made a card for my rival

My plan for him is that im going to delve more into Dom's initial reluctance to join the academy. His dad (when he was younger) used to battle a lot and was well on his way to 100 consecutive wins until he was brutally defeated by a Dragon Buster who ends up being Ron's Dad who actually witnessed the battle when it happened and recognizes Dom's dads fighting spirit in him. The reason Dom was a bit reluctant is that after the incident with Lycanroc he became somewhat insecure about his true strength but the village elder tells him that she thinks he should go to the academy anyway. When Dom realizes who he is he becomes extra determined to defeat him and I want this to be the first battle where Dom successfully uses Splintered Stormshards
It depends on how important you want the encounter to be for that character. If you think it's worth showing then maybe do it after the skip or maybe have a flashback sequence to during the skipWhat about pokemon caught within the timeskip? Like do we just say, oh and during the timeskip I caught a pikachu or whatever, or should we hold off on catching until after, I'm fine with either or, or if someone else has an idea. I had an idea for Dom of catching a pokemon in the forest and then later down the line, getting one from the professor of the health class as sort of a final semester exam to train and nurse back to health, but I'm fine with doing it after the skip.
Oh yeah, flashbacks exist, du doiIt depends on how important you want the encounter to be for that character. If you think it's worth showing then maybe do it after the skip or maybe have a flashback sequence to during the skip
I completely forgot about Coalossal, does it have Steam Engine?View attachment 945601
Also here's the Jack rival, not all of his Pokémon are amazing but he specializes in big and tanky Pokémon save for the Gallade
YesI completely forgot about Coalossal, does it have Steam Engine?
Probably towards the middle or end of the year with light teasing here and thereI wanted to ask when the main plot will kick into action?
