Retarded Pokemon RP idea lol I have no idea. It was a long flight.

[skywalker]

Okay, I’ve mentioned this around chats a few times, but I have this terrible, terrible idea about starting a slow, goofy, panfandom Pokemon RP. Premise: all the major characters/gym leaders have disappeared from Pokeland. Then multifandom characters start showing up. Everyone magically has one non-evolved Pokemon at level five and can become TRAINERS GOTTA CATCH 'EM ALL!!1! or just being morons in Pokeland.

Would anyone be interested in playing that sort of thing at Inksome?

... that does kind of sound like fun.

[skywalker]

The plot:

"If you beat the Elite Four and/or catch 150 Pokemon and/or randomly find a wormhole while wandering around the map, you can go back home!!!1!"

[xenoglossy]

pfft, who needs plot, it's POKEMON

[skywalker]

Yeah seriously.

EVERY TEN COMMENTS, ONE OF YOUR POKEMON LEVELS UP

...

And then I have no idea how you'd have a battle system so it would probably just end up as "DON'T BE DIPSHITS ABOUT IT, OKAY."

[kiwikiwi]

I APOLOGIZE FOR MY INABILITY TO COMMENT TO THE CORRECT LOCATION.

[loquacious]

I would sign up for inksome to play in this.

[skywalker]

That reminds me... Inksome has codes, but I'm pretty sure they're unlimited.

[loquacious]

I should... get one of those then. orz

[lluvia]

This has been all over my FL lately, but:

1) LJ

2) PROSE, AAAAHHHHHH

So your premise sounds far more appealing. :|d

[skywalker]

Mine would be

a) Not prose
b) Inksome
c) KANTO, CHILDREN. KANTO

and

d) Not really have a deep plot like that and just be retarded

That said, I didn't know someone was starting the same idea at the same time.

[kiwikiwi]

...This sound really entertaining, but sadly my pokemon knowledge is ... small.

I-I played... yellow. And watched the first season of the anime, and owned some comics um...eiiiight years ago?

s-so uh.

WOULD I HAVE TO KNOW MORE ABOUT POKEMON THAN "PIKACHU, I CHOOSE YOU!"?

[skywalker]

No.

Hell, I've only played, like, Yellow and Crystal.

I'm thinking that, like, you start off with your one Pokemon. Every ten comments, it levels up. Every fifty comments, you can catch a new Pokemon. You travel around the cities from Blue/Red/Yellow, you maybe pretend to have fights with people, you run stores, whatever. It's just a setting for a multifandom game, except with weird ninja animals.

I'd play there but I think you should start it on Dreamwidth because this place needs an RP scene like burning.

[skywalker]

Problem:

Icons and codes.

[defenestrated]

I would totally be interested in that, it sounds awesome. :D

[skywalker]

I think so, too!!! My problem is that I'd want to leave a lot of it to the players -- like, players would be gym leaders and do all the necessary grunt work, not the mods! -- and that requires building up a reliable playerbase fast.

[defenestrated]

WELL while that is true, there are... plenty of ways to stall for time while you build that up? Like, I'm just reminded of pretty much how the games are structured with GYM IS CLOSED TIL SIDEQUEST IS COMPLETE or something. Idk where I'm going with that train of thought, but I agree that it'd be a bit tricky, but doable?

[quixotic]

goddamnit I'VE BEEN RESTRAINING MYSELF FROM INKSOME RPs.

[skywalker]

THIS WOULD BE WORTH IT, I THINK

sob I'm so lazy and I have no idea how to run an RP, though.

[vino]

SHIT YEAH

[skywalker]

OKAY SO QUESTION

I'm thinking that the game would progress from one town to another ala, well, THE GAMES. Should there be one comm, or should there be a comm for every town?

[vino]

uhhh I think you really only need one comm, but using tags for different towns.

[skywalker]

Hmm yeah.

And for applications, I'm thinking mod-moderated for the first two weeks, then after a playerbase is built up, people send in their applications, the mods post them, and people give their opinions -- "OOC!" "Shit!" "Fabulous!" -- if they know the canon and then the moderators read the opinions and have the final word on yea or nay?

[vino]

... tbh the whole cfud-esque voting process FREAKS ME THE FUCK OUT, though if it's a more lax kind of thing like 'DOES THIS SEEM TOTALLY WRONG TO YOU GUYS?' i'd be up for it.

[skywalker]

Yeah, like that!

"DOES ANYONE OBJECT TO THIS GETTING IN? NO? OKAY."

[vino]

O I C, cool.
