Alright after looking up the sizes and weights of various bulldozers I came up with these figures
Length 35.8 ft
Width 10.4 ft
Height 16.9 ft
Weight 104,589.8 kg
Length 35.8 ft
Width 10.4 ft
Height 16.9 ft
Weight 104,589.8 kg
My bad that's just the English way of doing things, that or meters instead of feet
here, let me try help.
Length: 10m (from head to tail.)
Width: 3m (with legs included)
Height: 4m
All of those figures are rounded to the nearest metre.

That's not just bigger, that's colossal! He's a good 8x bigger than others of it's kind.
In fact, a Wailord is roughly 42 ft. in length, just to put things into perspective.

Wait what? Jesus Bastiodon must be a lot smaller than I imagined.....and that was the average bulldozer size....let me reduce those figures a bit.That's not just bigger, that's colossal! He's a good 8x bigger than others of it's kind.
Well I would like him to be big enough to successfully fight a Tyrantrum....hmm...
How about 12ft? Length wise so he's about double that
Tbh Pokémon sizes can be a bit stupid imo, Nidoking is only meant to be 4'11 (actually wtf) while something like a Furrett is 5'11 (see below)
^ This is bigger than a Nidoking AND the average Blastoise (5'03")
Well played Nintendo claps slowlyTbh Pokémon sizes can be a bit stupid imo, Nidoking is only meant to be 4'11 (actually wtf) while something like a Furrett is 5'11 (see below)
Blastoise is oddly small it's true. In my head a human could easily ride one but in reality that's not really the case. I already said Bastille was capable of carrying 3 adult humans with ease so I'm going to have to stick with about 12-14 feet in length for that to be a reality.
Ragh! I can't get to sleep!
If this was the case, then Floyd would be taller than all of them. It just doesn't seem right for a Nidoking to be that small.
In any case, I reckon you should just trust your instincts when it comes to Pokemon sizes and make educated assumptions based on their appearance, lethality, ect.
Just don't go around with a 20 meter high Caterpie, kay?

The tallest out of the three Kanto starters is actually Venusaur, who stands at around 2 meters and weighs exactly 100kg.
The reason Floyd became so tall is because I still don't have a full grasp on the Imperial system. I've grown up with metric. Everything in metric is just 10. It's easy to understand.
Imperial system sucks, plain and simple.

Alright SUPERRNOVAA, BurbleBurble,
I decided to make you both some alternative coins just in case you didn't like the flat Anime style. Gives you options you know. There's also a new Amara Coin, I wonder if that one's better.
Ah, forging new coins. The blacksmith Nygenn is back it it once more!
In my opinion, I definitely like the flat, anime style rather than the borderline realism the coins on the right are trying to convey. This has always been in my personal preference though, the new ones definitely look good and I appreciate the effort you put into making them. Options and variety are always nice.
I don't know about you, but when I think of Amara, I think of Senjougahara from the Bakemonogatari series.
Also, I still can't get to sleep, even though I'm as tired as a hippo who ate five kilos of melatonin tablets. I think I might just pull an all-nighter and then get an early one tomorrow night.
Senjougahara is a solid choice for Amara, thought perhaps too expressive and forceful. But looks wise certainly.

Also, it seems things are heating up while being cooled down with pen's latest entry. It's heavy on character development though. You can get a good insight into Cassie, who she is, who she thinks she is, and who she wants to be. I'm quite happy that to see that Salem is having such a major effect on her. And I liked the mention of her and Aidinia's effect on him too
Salem is in such a pathetic state right now though. I wonder how I should respond to this, how much I can respond to this. It's quite the intimate scene, and don't think the irony Salem being washed while having spend most of his morning offering to wash others, is lost on me.

I guess you have a point
But graves man...it's my element.
Plus it kind of determines how Gerald acts on here too.
I'll settle for the best of both worlds...
And do my best to get posts up on both, alright? Alright.
Edit: Oh yeah, the coins.
While I do appreciate the new coin, I don't feel it really goes with Gerald, so I won't be personally using it. Thanks for the thought though!
If you'd like to use it (Or anyone else for that matter), feel free to. Hey, maybe my opinion will change over time.

Yeah, I actually came to ask the same thing about the little icons! XD
Just a reminder to all the new players. You lose all gear and just start with a black shirt, pants, a belt, and boots with socks. Your one Pokemon and its ball. Nothing else. If your clothes get destroyed. They are not easily replaced.

Seriously though you two are determined to see how far you can push the rp rules of the forum aren't you. *looks around for mod wrath*

What childrenThink of the children Ny
It's just a risque scene though. But there's nothing really erotic happening.
I wouldn't let things go that far anyway. Besides, this is nothing compared to what will go down between Aidinia and Salem.

Mod wrath indeed...
So, er, I'm not really sure how to react to @Nygenn's post – it is very much teetering on the line in terms of whether it's acceptable here or not. So I shall suggest this: I'm not going to mandate any changes to the post today, but if you think you're able, I'd appreciate it if you can tone it down a bit. Your description of Salem's... anatomy, let's say, is definitely beyond what I'd recommend as acceptable here, for example, as is the very vivid descriptions of his libido. Put it this way, that entire post to my mind counts as "erotic fiction," because it is a very detailed description of a very intimate encounter – up to and including descriptions of sexual desire and the characters' bodies. As Ze Global Rules say, we can't and don't allow that here.
As much as I'd like to just say "okay, let's lock this behind an age gate and let you do what you like," that technical function doesn't exist... and even if it did, the average age of the users of this community is well below 18. While I love there's an RP here with actual maturity in its writing and themes, and as much as the last thing I want to do is to stifle anyone's creativity, this is sadly one of very few places we must draw the line. The world just isn't ready for erotic Pokémon fiction on a site filled with children!
In future, then, I'd strongly suggest you not write posts as erotic as that one – not just because I really don't want to have to bring out the red editing pen, but because from a narrative point of a view, I feel like your story writes a cheque it can't cash here. Your post reads like it's leading somewhere much more intimate – and it sets my mind up, as a reader, to expect that particular encounter to return, but in a far more... direct way. And if or when it gets to that point, you won't be able to post it here.
Thanks for reading my post Teapot, and may I just say that that's a very elaborate way of saying you liked it.Mod wrath indeed...

The rules say, no pornography, and you've told me before that no explicit sex scenes are allowed when I asked. I thought I knew what that meant. That having things get intimate would be alright provided there is no intercourse of any kind. The strength of the character's feelings and the direction they go in shouldn't have to be hidden right? Lust is such a great sin to work with, as much as wrath, and greed and the other four deadly sins. They're what drives people and makes characters come to life. I found that having Salem's lust be made obvious is what made the scene so powerful when he overcame it and pushed it aside in favor of an emotional connection. I wonder if perhaps it's because the characters were naked that it's such a problem. Would it have been better had they kept their pants on?
I just reread the rules and it's that tiny sentence 'no erotic fiction either' at the end that must have escaped my notice...
Still, there's a difference between intimacy and erotica, and I promise I will do my best to make it more apparent on which side of the line I'm walking. I can't guarantee there won't be any mention of lust or desire in the future, but I'll be sure to tone it down and not put as much emphasis on it.
Thanks for your kind response. To be honest, this is the first time in a very long time that we've had to test that particular rule – in fact, I think this is the first piece of borderline-adult fiction ever posted on 'Charms – so I'll absolutely admit that the rule may not as clear as it should be. Most of the other rules are battle-hardened, but that one isn't.Thanks for reading my post Teapot, and may I just say that that's a very elaborate way of saying you liked it.

The litmus test I use is that if a 13-year-old read the fic, would it be appropriate? In this case, it's not the emotional side of things that's the issue – it's that you described genitalia and sexual contact in great detail. Salem getting aroused by Cassie can be described in more subtle ways than specifically talking about the state of his penis. You spend great depths of prose describing every detail of Cassie's body – and while some of it is very clearly vital to her character and the story (describing the scars on her back, for example), some of it comes across as only really there to satisfy a reader's more prurient interests, such as the description of Cassie's breasts.
As for whether it would have been better had they kept their pants on: realistically, yeah, that's the easiest way to avoid the issue. But I feel like you could manage it anyway. Let your prose dance – describe the longing, the closeness, and the battle of will. Paint your story in lighter strokes than purely the physical nature of a character's body. I see no crime in characters having sexuality or even lust, but remember who you write for – because while I'd venture the guess that you write for yourself and for your fellow creators in this RP, you're inevitably writing for the Pokécharms community by posting here. Be mindful of who they are, and how to best serve your themes to them.
Or, in a less elaborate way of putting it, please don't write something that'll make parents yell at me for allowing it on the site...
(I get that some of this criticism is more editorial than moderation, but I'm finding it hard to adequately separate them!)
Teapot you have a wonderful way with words. Why are you not an active participant in this RP? Don't tell me it's because you fear Salem's attention.
But all joking aside, I see your point and I agree. I'll think about how to change this post and will keep unnecessary details in check in the future. Though which things already being said here in this entry I won't have to mention them again later on. I can just refer to 'That time they washed each other at the river.'

In short, because I am a very busy teapot and find it really hard to find the time to give RPs the time and care they need.
I've ended up letting people down before when I'm unable to post for days or weeks on end, sadly. That said, thank you very much for the compliment – it means a lot ^^Thank you also for your understanding of what I've been trying to say. It's always best when moderation is a two-way process, after all – it's been a very useful discussion for me in terms of how to improve our rules on this subject.

I am very grateful that you were willing to work things out and took the time to make me understand your objections rather than just give it your stamp of disapproval. It is normally not the case, but in this situation I don't mind serving as an example to others

I am glad we could help out the forum staff as a whole with this thread
Teapot You should have a character that can occasionally make an appearance in any RP. It would be such a waste to not see your writing once in a while. I even have a suggestion for you.
You know how in the Pokémon movies you always have those playful and elusive legendary pokémon that fly, can teleport, go invisible, and all together are just an Admin floating around without actually interfering with the narrative, but certainly provide a lot of entertainment with their behind the scene antics? That should be you.
You should play a Mew or a Victini, or Celebi who can float around and add perspective to scenes or help out a little bit when needed, creating a little bit of mystery for the other players. It also allows you to be completely free to post whenever you have time and fancy, without creating a sense of obligation or expectation. I'm sure you'd be great at this, and that it would be welcome in pretty much every RP that doesn't have it's plot revolve around that particular Pokémon. What do you think?
