All I can think of is pokemon.

5th gen of what?

Aw man, green is the best color to play pikachu in Smash Bros Brawl. You know why? That green doo-rag. So awesome.

Here's a link to the basic info about it -

If that perks any interest, here are some discussion threads about it.

I'm excited for 5th gen. I'll surely be updating the pokedex for Pokemon: Tabletop Adventures once they're all out and ready, of course but give that a year or so.

What kind of system is being used for the game rules/mechanics?

Here's the thing /tg/, it is poorly organized, and a lot of these features will not make sense without other parts of the game.

So, ask about anything in particular that doesn't make sense to you.

These features are being playtested, but if you see anything blatantly OP or UP, say so.

There will be typos. Sorry.

While I'm slapping it together in an organized manner, I'll post some spoilers of the Advanced Classes, and their starting features.

>>7830085
d20. Seems to irritate a lot of people when I say that, but it's what I've been building.

Trainers use STR, CON, DEX, INT, WIS, CHA.
Pokemon use HP, STR, DEF, SATK, SDEF, SPD

Before you say, "playing video game on tabletop," since I get that a lot, the stat names are the same as the video games as a throw back, they do not necessarily mean what they did in the video game, save HP.

A friend of mine has been working on a character sheet that does a lot of the bookkeeping for you. I can vouch that it's not much more bookkeeping then D&D, for example, and has been greatly simplified and improved for easier bookkeeping since day one.

>>7829983
From what I can tell, there is no real evidence that this is a fifth gen game. Keep in mind that other take-offs in the games have revealed new pokemon (like Pokemon Ranger, for instance.) While I'm sure it'll be a fun game, I really doubt that it's a brand new fifth gen game.

>>7830132
That's actually the one I'm most familiar with. I tried to design a couple Pokemon races with the d20 system, but they used the same stats as the trainers you outlined.

I was wondering, did anyone here read the last bunch of stuff I released in the alpha splat book from the last thread?

If yes, what did you hate? What do you think didn't look very fun? What did you like?

Hey stark. If might make you happy that I have finally been able to get back to work, but my question is do you want to wait for gen 5 or just go ahead without it?

>>7830207
probably would be best to have it be an expansion tacked on later. i mean, half the board only wants to use the first 251, at most

>>7830175
While this is true, the fact that there ARE new pokemon, means that there will be a fifth generation to expand on in the same way as the original RPGs.

Also, they compared this game to Diamond and Pearl and hope to out-sell it. A spin off game could not hope to do this.

>>7830233
Sound reasoning. Back to the grind I suppose.

>>7830207
Hey Ownerer, nice to see you.

I am going to release the pokedex as it is now, since 5th gen won't be here for another year and a half and I intend to finish Beta by summer to release to the internet.

>>7830244
As far as I know, all of the spin-off games are developed out of house. Perhaps by developing it in-house, they're hoping to surpass them. Besides, it takes longer than a year to come up with a whole new world. While I doubt it's a fifth generation (which you are correct, there being new pokemon totally shows that as an inevitability!), I'm hoping its some way to play through the entire Pokemon World. That'd be sexy as hell.

>>7830274
So do you need the data I have been copy/pasting or am I off the hook?

I read up on the ranger, I love the way the class sounds. Do you have any stories from your test games about them that would be interesting?

Also, I remember they only get one pokemon to actually own, but then can get a lot of wild animals to help him until he releases them. These animals however can not be used in Gym battles, does only owning one pokemon make it harder for a ranger to get a badge?

>>7830308
3 words. Pokemon world multiplayer.

>>7830335
That's totally what I want. While its true Pokemon is already multiplayer, I'm hoping its some sort of way you can play through a 'now' time line (since the games go back and forth...R/S/E, for example, take place during R/G/B/Y) where you can go through EVERY region. Trade in real time by walking up to people. That'd be fucking badass.

Any ideas on how to convert the standard d20 abilities to Pokemon abilities? I got the skeleton of a system for that, but it needs some flesh.

I would actually like to see Pokemon RPG as a purchasable supplement one of these days...it is something I dream of.

Or at least a neat organized PDF format.

That being said, I have seen the rules many times, and always love it. Yet to play it though, but sure it is great.

>>7830308
Am am celebrating the inevitability of 5th gen as a result of this announcement, if not its official release.
>>7830321
I really need that data. Please and thank you.
>>7830332
Concerning stories, I'll put one up in a bit.
Concerning Rangers' limit to one pokemon, they are only limited to one partnered wild who will follow them around, and potentially four befriended wilds to follow them around for a short bit (5 minutes). They can however use poke balls to capture pokemon like any other trainer - however in throwing a single poke ball, any befriended pokemon will disperse, except for the single partnered wild you have. Otherwise, they are not at all hindered and actually make it easier for them to get through routes without dying.

What's an "Influential"? I don't remember trainers of that appellation in game, and it sounds interesting.

did anyone bother to organize out his clusterfuck notes from last thread? if so link plz

>>7830358
I already converted each Move, each Ability, and each pokemon to a d20 system.

No worries.

>>7830363
Beta and each release/supplement after that WILL be in an indexed PDF. First release will be 3 PDFs, Bestiary, Player's Guide and GM Guide

>>7830417
Oh ok that makes a lot more sense. Thank you. Also, I believed I missed it, and I don't really want to go through every thread to find it, but how do you get to choose which pokemon you start with or do you start with none and go catch one?

>>7830358

I ran into that trouble once.

I basically gave up and just made the players give me their character sheets for the Pokemon and I handled combat-mostly with their Charisma checks, telling them to roll d20s for each attack and me just trying to balance it as best I can.

Our rules lawyer called me a fag and walked out, but the others enjoyed it that way. Eventually the rules lawyer came back and we run Pokemon campaigns periodically.

>>7830431
Influentials are high level Psychic who can plant thoughts into other Trainers or Pokemon and then make them act on those thoughts. They can also use their power to make Pokemon believe they are more powerful then they are and improve their performance.

Here are their starting Features:

>Influential – Advanced Feature
Prerequisites: Psychic, 25 INT
Ability Bonus: Intelligence Bonuses: +1 INT
Class Features: Mental Suggestion, Now to Act

Mental Suggestion: Influential Feature
Daily – Every 6 levels gained, you may perform this Feature another time per day.
Target: Pokemon or Trainers.
Effect: Roll 1d20 and add your INT modifier. If the total exceeds 20, you may place a suggestion into the target’s mind. The target doesn’t need to act on it, nor do they immediately know why they thought of it.

Now to Act: Influential Feature
At-Will – Drains 25 of user’s HP per use.
Target: Pokemon or Trainers.
Effect: Roll 1d20 and add your INT modifier. If the total exceeds 15, the target will act on a suggestion on their mind. If the suggestion is entirely contradictory to their regular behavior, they will be hesitant throughout the execution of the suggestion. If it isn’t possible to execute the suggestion, they will fail trying. Using this on a target leaves discoverable psychic residue.

Could you also do a quick summary of all the ranger classes? If this already exists in one of the archived threads you can just let me know which one.

>>7830449
You get a starter, but that doesn't necessarily mean you start with only that pokemon.

A few of my playtesters brought their house pets with them. One brought a loyal Cubone, another brought his pet Venonat. Another one of players left his house pets behind and only took a starter because he wanted to start fresh when he was on his own in the world.

Ranger –

Navigator:
The most world savvy Ranger is the Navigator. They know well the lay of the land and can almost always find safe passage between cities and towns scattered in the regions of the world. The Navigator can even find natural foods in a forest and feed their entire party. They can lead their party to the most remote places with little effort, likely revealing the most rare pokemon in the world.

Rider:
While some individuals may be content with awkwardly being ferried to and fro by their pokemon, Riders intuitively conquer each mount on first sight. These Rangers fear no storm, no great height, nor do they cease riding their pokemon as it battles a foe. Known for their legendary ability to steady any wild for an ally to ride, they are capable allies and welcome in any traveling party.

Detective:
The Ranger who trades in their backwoods training for the city scene is a fine Detective. They speak in random conspiracies and rarely make sense to those listening in on the conversations they have while talking to themselves, however that out of the box thinking is what leads them to a question’s answer. They know where the shakers shake and they can find the movers moving.

>>7830487
This is what I want to play. Fuck yeah.
Though... how attainable is that 25 INT?
And for that matter, what does a Psychic look like, crunch-wise?

Hey- I'm an illustration student. I would love to contribute to this in any way. I have photoshop and am fully literate in it as well as being able to create original art. I also have a game group that would surely love to playtest.

Ranger Continued -
Coach:
Motivational Rangers can bring out the talents of a Pokemon to absurd levels. Coaches are just the type of Ranger who can do so. By working out with their Pokemon, they can improve their partners’ legwork, swimming abilities, physical strength; nearly anything they can physically do is done better when a Coach is helping them.

Special Operations:
Not many people can say they've had the equipment to, or had the guts to stand in the way of a hyper beam on purpose. These elite Rangers, members of Special Operations, prefer to have the situation under control before an incident occurs. As the topmost branch of the Rangers, before Captains, They command a different sort of respect, equal to law enforcement but arguably more efficient.

Captain:
A Captain is the highest level of authority and an even greater level of honor to those who call themselves Rangers. The Captain, by presenting their badge alone, can command local authority, make an arrest or mark off an area from public use. The Captain is so greatly respected in the world, their presence alone is something to be admired, or for the Captain’s foe - feared.

>>7830588
Level 13 if you're pushing for influential.
I'm going to be lowering some class requirements during playtesting so don't be too intimidated. On the other hand, Influential allows mind control which is pretty crazy.

>>7830588
Here is the Psychic's Starting Features

>Psychic – Class Feature
Prerequisites: 13 INT, 13 CON
Key Abilities: Intelligence, Constitution Bonuses: +1 INT +1 CON
Negligent Ability: Strength Penalties: -2 STR
Class Features: Telepathy, Telekinesis

Telekinesis: Psychic Feature
At-Will
Target: Any object that you may lift.
Effect: Add your INT and CON modifiers and multiply the total by 5 pounds. This represents the weight you may lift and items you may target with Telekinesis. Multiply your INT and CON modifiers then multiply that product by 3-meters. This is how far the target can be.

Telepathy: Psychic Feature
At-Will
Target: Any other human, some may be immune to Telepathy
Effect: You may read the surface thoughts of other humans, as well as project your surface thoughts to other humans.

The Psychic rollplay wise is a strong support character out of any official battles. Its main stats are INT and CON, using the INT for psychic damage and CON for HP gain since using attacks drains the user's HP. Because the Psychic is able to apply force with their mind and Telekinesis, its dump stat is STR.

>>7830663

Didn't even have to read stats to want this.

Hate D&D psionics, but when I was in elementary school and formed our own little Pokemon card Pokemon league, guess who had the psychic deck?

Me.

If you'd be so kind, would you please post the stats for the Rider, Special Ops, and Captain.

>>7830663

Personally I would only stat the trainers in a BESM Mind/Body/Spirit type thing, and the Pokemon with the ATK/SPATK/DEF/SPDEF/SPD. Additionally, classes would just provide either additional synergy, distribution of skills, and not actual powers.

But hey, your system. Not mine.

>>7830682
that's because psychics were overpowered to hell and back back in the day. especially in generation one since all the ghosts were /poison and all the bugs sucked

>>7830713
And bugs still don't suck?

shit went downhill after the first season.

150(1) are enough.

I think, how Classes work need explanation.

Each time you level up until level 10, you gain one stat point and one feature. You may pick any feature you meet the prerequisites for. However some Features are Special Features. You may obtain up to 3 Special Features for your character. Special Features are important because they unlock several Features for you to obtain. Special Features are Class Features and Advanced Features.

What this means is that you can potentially triple class, if you meet the prerequisites to do so. You could also take two classes and one advanced class, or take one Class Feature and two Advanced Features which branch from that Class.

>>7830731
I like the second season too, but never really stayed with it after that.

>>7830663
Needs more sexy, sexy Sabrina.

>>7830713
Psychics are still god tier. Fuck your ghosts and bugs. Psychic only ever need Special Attack. And some speed, and defensive stats help. But teach a high SA Psychic a powerful psychic move, and he fucking wastes shit. Straight-up health-wrecking. Kill damn near anything in two hits.

>>7830730
o hai

>>7830730

Bugs have gained much better bug type attacks in addition to having new bug pokemon that just plain have better stats.

>>7830701
Psychics/Martial Artists/Rangers help in the field.

Ace Trainer/Breeder/Coordinator/Reasearcher/Capture specialist help in legal battles, like gyms, contests etc.

>>7830691
Coming up.

>>7830713

Trading card game. Plus, we just played our favorites, the only ones of use who could figure stats were the actual league members (mostly because they played hybrid decks).

Pic related, it was and still is my baby.

>>7830760
>>7830774
I was actually asking seriously, I haven't played past Gold and I never got bug pokemon.

>>7830760
shedinja is a bizarre badass.

>Rider – Advanced Feature
Prerequisites: Ranger, 2 pokemon who have served as a mount for a day each
Ability Bonus: Dexterity Bonuses: +1 DEX
Class Features: Stick to It, Battle Capable Riding

Stick to It: Rider Feature
Static
Target: Any pokemon that the Rider owns, the Rider’s Companion, or any Friendly.
Effect: You never need to make a check related to staying on target mounts unless your mount is knocked out.

Battle Capable Riding: Rider Feature
Static
Target: Any pokemon that the Rider owns, the Rider’s Companion, or any Friendly.
Effect: You may ride pokemon during unofficial battle and may always deflect damage done to you to the pokemon you are riding. Do apply weakness and resistance for damage that is redirected to the mount, do not apply stats.

I think I'll pic dump as long as this thread is active.

>Special Operations Member – Advanced Feature
Prerequisites: Ranger, CHA 15, DEX 18, Special Ops. Gear (6,000)
Ability Bonus: Dexterity Bonuses: +1 DEX
Class Features: Scanner, Protect

Scanner: Spec. Ops. Member Feature
Static
Target: Any pokemon.
Effect: You can see a percentage when you look at a pokemon that represents how much of its total HP it has remaining.

Protect: Spec. Ops. Member Feature
Daily – Every 10 levels gained, you may perform this Feature another time per day.
Trigger: You are hit by a Move.
Effect: Use the Move Protect.

>>7830682
>>7830697
>>7830787
>>7830812
>>7830826

Me here again.

Forgot name.

>>7830812
NO! That'll kill its bump limit. Keep thread at top.

>>7830691
Holy shit. Especially that Snail. Hot damn

>>7830812
Don't.

>>7830742
I don't understand how one acquires Special Features. Do they count like normal ones, but just limited to three?
If so, what happens if somebody blew one on something he didn't really want? Just retrain?

Pokemon Cards have gotten really weird now

>Captain – Advanced Feature
Prerequisites: Ranger, Spec. Ops. Member or Detective for at least 4 months
Ability Bonus: Charisma Bonuses: +1 CHA
Class Features: Authority Figure, Commander

Authority Figure:
Static Captain Feature
Trigger: Identification request or need.
Effect: You are a Captain, from the region of you choice. When outside of that district you have less authority and are out of jurisdiction. You may still perform as an officer depending on the local laws. Add your CHA modifier twice when making a check related to CHA.

Commander: Captain Feature
Static
Target: Police officers or Rangers.
Effect: You can give commands to police officers and Rangers and they are obligated to act. A police chief may overrule your commands to their officers; no one may overrule your command to Rangers.

Captain is the only Advanced class that actually requires another Advanced class. This means that in order to obtain Captain, you must use your first Special Feature on Ranger Class, then get either Detective or Spec. Ops. Member, then get Captain. Captain is very inaccessible because you can get away with virtually anything at this point. You're basically a regional captain of the entire police force.

>>7830883
You gain Special Features at any time you can get a regular Feature, but cannot get more then 3.

Special Features are Class/Advanced Class Features. If you didn't want that Feature, you picked the wrong class.

You do not immediately start with a class at level 0. This is because I want players to have a chance to change their mind depending on where the GM goes with their campaign. Also, no one leaves Oak's Office and immediately wants to collect them all or coordinate - there is a moment where they figure out what they want to do, then they pursue it.

>>7830865

Sorry, will stop except for really cool stuff sporadically.

>>7830949
Stop spamming empty posts. You are going to make it autosage.

Someone say Pokemon?

>>7830886

What the HELL is that?!?

That's not a Pokemon card, that's a damn Topps card or something (then again, I love my Ancient Mew).

>>7830751
i never watched much of the later seasons.

i was what,14 at the time and cartoons were becoming pretty booring at that point.

airsoft and CO2 guns were far more fun at that age.
oh yes, the OPERATOR was strong in me already.

>>7830904

Okay, now THAT'S cool.

Gonna be a lot of replay value and variety in this RPG upon completion.

I think I'll weed out the Pokemon haters form my group now, to prepare for it...

>>7830988
It's okay. Later seasons suck. I probably only liked the early season cause I was a kid. I draw most of the inspiration for the world from the Manga/Video Game.

>>7830904
He's cool but...

>>7830810
This just sounds too awesome. Btw, if a Captain gives another PC Ranger an order, would the PC have to follow it? Or would that be up to the player to decide?

>>7830998
Beta will be out in the summer.

On that note, I found someone really awesome to do the covers. I'm psyched.

>>7831005

I stopped watching at Orange League, it got confusing and I didn't like how it had nothing much to do with the games...Orange League would make for a good game or part of a game though.

Started watching with Dawn later on, wasn't too bad. But I spent more time playing the game than watching the show.

Is there an archive that has all this information elsewhere? I've been kinda hoping either there'd be an official tabletop or an adaptation, and this is obviously a well-thought out version of the latter. I feel behind with all this, even if it is really simple to understand.

>>7831019

Shall I send you money, or would a BJ suffice? Assuming your awesomeness doesn't melt my head.

Seriously, this is beyond win.

>>7831006
At this point, I think it'd be up to the player. Hopefully we won't have ass hole during a Ranger Campaign take Captain just to tell everyone to kill themselves.

The Commander thing was more for NPCs. GM would probably have to do a house ruling for a Captain who is plainly abusing their position. On the other hand they could just make life very hard for the Captain or just make Exploding Gravelers fall, your party dies.

>>7831031
see
>>7829929

It has all previous threads. Sorry, but it's very tl;dr

Gracias, mon ami.

>>7831051

In a Grimdark Pokemon setting, this is a recipe for disaster. But under normal conditions, with all characters of the opinion "no matter your alignment, do it your own way unless its seriously a bad idea" then I can see it working well.

But there should generally be a player consensus that its good, like when voting a party leader.

>>7831067

What is female trainer/Dawn holding?

I missed what the non-game standard Pokemon are, like Munchlax (baby Snorlax, right?).

>>7831019
preview plox?

What has not been talked about in any thread yet are Capabilities. This is actually the only thing stopping Beta's completion and release.

Capabilities are individual tricks that each pokemon has key worded. Some examples are Phasing, Aura, Mount.

They simply say what a Pokemon is capable of doing, without the use of its Moves.

Capabilities also explain how much a Pokemon can move per turn. These Capabilities are paired with numbers like, Overland 4, Surface 2 or Burrow 5. They also have physical capabilities, like Jump 6, Power 4 or Intelligence 7.

>>7829896
WE HAVE FINGERS!

That's what they're all saying about it. Yellow's kind of embarrassed of his fingers.

>>7831100
Shellos

>>7831111
Link to Alpha splat book is in a previous thread.
I am releasing the entire Trainer Feature, Alpha splat book today. I'm just condensing it right now and taking out some stuff.

>>7829896
Red, Gold, ... what's the name of the other 2?

If anyone would like to see some Moves or Abilities in tabletop form, ask away. Any more Trainer Features from a specific class, ask away.

>>7831170
Ruby and Dia (Diamond)

>>7831134

Shouldn't be that hard, right?

Sounds to me like the fun part.

>>7831183

How about Teleport? When outside combat, how many people can it take?

>>7831238

Thread for the images you've all been itching to post.

>>7831207
Teleport – Psychic
The user vanishes and reappears in a nearby area.
Battle – None
Self **
Effect: No Target, Interrupt
Teleport can be used at any time. If used as an Interrupt, roll 1d20 and if you don’t roll 7 or higher, Teleport fails to activate. The user is moved 1d10 + 10 meters. They can move through blocking terrain and hindering terrain as if it is regular terrain. Moves that targeted Teleport’s user continue through the desired target’s space if the Move allows for it. If Teleport fails, treat it as if you have not activated it in the past 10 mintues.

Depends on the pokemon and GM's opinion I'd say. Yes Abra can take you with it, no it can't take your whole party. Yes Alakazam can take your whole party.

>>7831170
Ruby and diamond

>>7831162
>I am releasing the entire Trainer Feature, Alpha splat book today.

Hey, OP, got an EPA on finalization? How far along are we, beta, alpha, omega? And what can we fa/tg/uys do to help?

>>7831259

I like it!

So for the moving through "blocking terrain and hindering terrain as if it is regular terrain" does it function like time stopping and turning ethereal for how people teleporting perceive it?

Also, another question-after hatching, at what point are Pokemon viable intelligence wise to be communicated with and fight?

The games indicate immediately but Togepi spent so much time being cared for that it almost might as well have had normal infancy time as a cat (but Misty could have just been over indulging it).

>>7831295
It is only the list of features and what they do. Not the entire Player's guide. Just something for people to look at while I'm finishing up Beta.

>>7831329
You must raise them before they can fight. Yes, they will understand what you mean when you say "Charmander Scratch!" And they will obey, but I would never call that fighting. Also, battling with babies of any species is dangerous. If they are lowered to -100% they will need to make a death savings throw.

>>7831313
Summer.

>>7831313
Further details.

Alpha has been getting playtested for about nine months now.

Beta will be released with a cool black and white cover and be in indexed .pdf format.

At this point, /tg/ will say they hate it and tell me what to change.

Beta will go through updates.

A bit later, Pokemon: Tabletop Adventures will be released with its Cover colored (The artist is a pro, I can't believe someone found this person to do it for us). This will be the Omega release, first edition.

We WILL be making supplements, which are already in the works. There will be a Bestiary supplement once 5th gen is out. There will be a Player's guide supplement, which will introduce a 9th player Class while expanding on the other 8 and all of their Advanced classes.

/tg/ has helped me a lot already. I can't think of anything right now that needs more work. I have a few helpers who have been a great help.

So, i can put these Features ready to put up on Megaupload, but I'm pretty sure that it will have a limited amount of downloads allowed. Will anyone be able to mirror it for me? Or suggest a better place to upload a simple .zip?

>>7831481
isn't savefile unlimited downloads?

>>7831620
I'll look into it.

>>7831441
>/tg/ has helped me a lot already.
>Alpha has been getting playtested for about nine months now.

/tg/'s baby.

So, who loves Pokemon most? /tg/, /a/, /co/, or /v/?

>>7831481
There are some good homebrew sites that host their own downloads I believe. Not sure the names though, but I've snagged stuff from them before.

>>7831441
>The artist is a pro, I can't believe someone found this person to do it for us
Would it be possible for us to find some of this person's work, then?

>>7831635
Something like that. If it weren't for /tg/'s enthusiasm to see the finished product I'd have abandoned it long ago. Halfwing and Ownerer have been a great help too.

Even a few trolls pointed out things I needed to do/add.

bump for more pokemon art- I need reference!

>>7831481
I could probably mirror the files on my site.

>>7831799
See this. VVV

>>7831238

>>7831845

Thanks, friend!

>>7831681
The artist would rather remain anonymous because this is 4chan. I can however show some of the work she's done.

Considering she's doing it for free and normally gets paid for fantasy freelance stuff - I like it.

pic related

More of her stuff.

Something pokemon related.

>>7831799
I can upload my entire image folder to megaupload.
over 1000 quality pokemon images.

Does she have a DA account? Unless you use your rel name, that can be pretty anonymous as a pen name (forgot what it is called when artists do it).

I was going to archive this thread since I'm about to post a link to the splatbook, but someone already did it. You guys are on it, /tg/.

Do want upload.

dooo eeeeet, pleease

>>7830132
I don't get this about pokemon roleplaying pnp...

The battles are all between your monsters. Why do trainers have stats? What stops me from saying I am founding a new TEAM, on the concept that "Holy shit if we actually fucked people up with our monsters this shit would be cake"?

I mean, Psychic on the non-fully developed mind of a ten year old would be child's play. Walk into bank, Hynosis on everyone, walk out with millions.

Can someone explain this to me? How this is handled?

>>7831998
>>7832035
>>7832039
Okay, just stop spamming. I need to upload it. That will take a while.
Also, it won't give me the link to distribute the upload for the .zip, I will try another place now.

>>7832049

You are expected to have a good or neutral alignment.Until a supplement for villains like TR is implemented I guess.

Trainers have stats because basic Pokemon is jsut trainers, but this has rangers, breeders, etc. and you have to train Pokemon physically and wander about yourself-Pokemon don't carry you and certainly don't talk to other trainers for you.

>>7832049
I'm playing in a pokemon game right now using mutants and masterminds and the simple answer is that you're not the first person to think this up.
The government was and they got a lot more pokemon and a lot more willingness to kill.

>>7832049
Trainers have stats because wild see you and see food. They will not wait for you to send out your pokemon for a fair fight. The wild charizard will fry you, bite into you and start feasting.

Also, in the world mechanics i'm providing, children are not allowed to own pokemon. Licensing is at 18. A child by themselves in a world filled with monsters? That's ridiculous. They'd get killed.

>>7832070
But what I'm saying is... I am standing in the middle of a gym, squaring off for a battle.. when my electevire "accidentally" Thunders the other trainer.

He/she is fucking dead.

Why wouldn't I play that way? I mean, there are Lawful Evil and even Chaotic Evil chars in the games, which is what I'm basing my issue on. I don't see why no one has ever considered such a course of action.

It would be like designing Avatar:The Last Airbender into d20, and then telling players that they can't actually kill each other in scene, because it's a kid's show.

>>7832070
No. You can be evil. Just be prepared to face the cops. They got a whole army of high level arcanine, noctowl, etc.

>>7832115
I would let that happen. But then what are the consequences of that? Investigation. Your Electivire would most likely get put down. Any resistance would be suspicious. Also, low level telepaths have desk jobs as police departments.

>>7832114
But even so, you are converting a game wherein a dragon attacks you, and your response is to throw a mouse at it.

Conversely, what stops me from saying I am a disciple of Koga, and I fight pokemon with my bare hands and ninja techniques?

It just seems like the whole game would be centered around an unnecessary middle man. Namely, the pokemon themselves.

I mean, if Jenny is a cop, shouldn't she have a gun? Shouldn't she be able to arrive at teh convenience store, have the asshole toss out a mudkip, and respond with two between the eyes?

If a trainer dies, what happens to any Pokemon they had (assuming said Pokemon survive)?

>>7832142
How does the government put down an Electiric Yeti?

With guns?

Using that, why don't I just get some guns and bypass the pokemon altogether?

>>7832115
In the game i run being a trainer is highly regulated.
The purpose of gym battles is to test trainers abilities to control pokemon and all gym battles are monitored by the authorities.
Any attempts to harm trainers with pokemon attacks will result in suspension of a trainers license and confiscation of pokemon and possible euthanasia depending on the circumstances.

Features Splatbook.

If someone could mirror it, I'd be very grateful.

>>7832161
My guess is that guns are more or less illegal in the Pokeverse.

>>7831749
I've been wondering... does everything in the world of Pokemon have to look like a Pokemon?

>>7830663
Sabrina must be an epic Psychic. Her breasts are defying gravity!

>>7832161
>>7832144
Pokemon are intelligent creatures. Guns are not very common in the real world because of this.

By all means, play a Ninja. It's an Advanced Class. They're pretty cool.

>>7832186
Yes. Stylistic trend. Sort of like Europe likes things sleek and slick.

I CHOOSE YOU, DESERT EAGLE!

-or-

I CHOOSE YOU, 9MM!

USE "SAY WHAT AGAIN. SAY WHAT AGAIN. I DARE YOU, I DOUBLE DARE YOU, MOTHERFUCKER. SAY WHAT ONE MORE GODDAMN TIME"!

SUPER EFFECTIVE

>>7832186
up to the GM.

I'm providing game rules.
In GM guide there will be several ideas for campaign settings but that's mostly up to your group.

>>7832161
With their own pokemon of course.
I mean is it really so hard to see the military applications of pokemon?

>>7832114

I can now see myself playing a 20 year old orphan who ran away when he was 14 and met his starter who saved his life.

Also, to all the other posts about Grimdark Pokemon-that's it. Its Grimdark.

If wizards police wizards, why can't cops with Pokemon police trainers?

For the Pokemon are killers thing, remember they are mostly wild animals who can be trained with some effort to understand human speech. They aren't born with it, but they have the apparent capacity for it. So Charizard ain't gonna nuke a town unless he has a reason, and that's the job of Pokemon Rangers is to stop wild Pokemon from doing it. Rangers have a top that calms Pokemon. They have the technology in this world to stop rampages.

As for psychics in banks...the bank must have ghost types wandering the halls.

>>7832201
Jigglypuff REALLY doesn't like Music Critics.

>>7832201
That's insane. Weaponry evolved/s because of the lack of decisive power on teh part of the developer/user.

You are bigger, stronger, and faster, but if I hit you with a rock, none of that matters.

You have a well trained obedient mystical creature from asian legend, but if I can shoot you in the chest at 700mph from a mile and a half away with my sniper rifle, none of that matters.

There is no conceivable reason that tech should advance to teh point where they have giant robot versions of pokemon, but not semiautomatic weapons.

>>7832201
daym. Jigglypuff aint gonna take no shit from nobody.

also: OPERATOROPERATOROPERATOR

>>7832236
>implying Banks wouldn't use Houndooms instead of Dobermans

I want a Magneton.

Because Magneton is the epitome of cheating. That's not an evolved Pokemon! That's three basic Pokemon ganging up on you!

>>7832246
Therein lies the question. Can you do it without my creature: A) Giving me a heads-up, B) Taking the bullet themselves, and/or C) Annihilating you in response?

>>7832246
Well gee, you're right.

So play the game with a gun. See how it works out, and tell me about it.

Or don't play. Your not liking it will not make others not want to play.

holyshitholyshitholyshitholyshit
Post the stats for Martial Artist and related specialisations.
I've waited for this since thread one.

>>7832246

LT. Surge fought in a World War in Pokemon, and he says Pokemon saved his life.

So there are guns and weapons, but Pokemon are an equal force (Safeguard TMs mass produced in the 1940s to protect from artillery fire?)

>>7832246
Its the same reason Gyrojet Weaponry wasn't pursued. People want quick results, and normally are not willing to put in time and effort; if it seems like Pokemon Power is the way to go, gun tech might stagnate while stuff that utilizes poke tech might boom.

>>7832262
Bank, meet Rotom. THANKS FOR ALL THE MONEY MOTHERFUCKERS

>>7832286
Cannon Magnetons grow magnimites, the seperation of the 3 make 3 magnemites - how the species reproduce.

Or they can evolve into their final form.

time to OPERATE.

...in da forest.

>>7832290

>>7832178

I already posted the entire Features listing.

>>7832326

oh you

where's your SKS?

>>7832314
Rotom, meet Porygon3

Let this be our final battle.

>>7832302

Technology is abandoned in settings with magic.

Say Pokemon and tech are equal, so you get semi-modern conveniences for things Pokemon can't provide (TVs, indoor toilets, teleporting computers (very expensive, public operated)) but things like cars are more rare.

I see more of a steam punk 1950s setting here in tech basically. But with color TV.

>>7832314
1) Will Rotom do it?
2) If not, can you make him do it?
3) Does the bank have police Rotoms in use?

>>7832314
Bandit, meet Alakazam. Have fun spending 5-10 in jail.

>>7832328
Fuck.
This computer won't download it.
Mainly because it's a PS3.
I guess I'll wait for my tax return and get a real computer. Wheee.

>>7832314
To even capture a Rotom is near impossible. Throwing a Poke Ball at a pokemon who can turn intangible and short circuit the ball as it passes through?

Also, steal from the bank. It'll make for a good campaign. The police will find you. They have the pokemon centers while you'll be locked out of that convenience.

SOMEONE SAY OPERATOR?

But there are extremely high-tech devices and bullet weaponry in pokemon

>>7832355
god damn, i am stealing the fuck outta that come summer

>>7832341
Actually cars aren't very common because they won't get you anywhere except in your own city/town.

No major highways connect cities because they'd go through Pokemon's habitats. Pokemon have the means to undo heavy construction in their homes.

>>7832346
Alakazam can do that and MORE.
Who needs bars and cells when he can trap them in their own MIND.
An empty white space with no sensation anywhere. Released once a week to prevent permanent damage to the psyche.

>>7832318
Okay, so it's still three Magnemites ganging up on an enemy, which is awesome.

Also, what if I want to make a character based on Bang Shishigami? I'd use ninja if he acted at all like a ninja.

>>7832355

Screw throwing balls, I'll cut to the chase.

"Hey Rotom, wanna be my friend and go on adventures?"

Positives
1) Save money on Pokeballs.
2) Skip the "you aren't a slave, you are a buddy" process.
3) They'll die for you if necessary more likely (cue Ash in the winter cave kept alive by a tired Charmander Dawww moment here).
Negatives
1) Harder catches.
2) Much longer campaign.
3) Party consisting of "Flapjack" personalities.

>>7832381
Read as: Digglet will fuck your shit up.

>>7832402
He doesn't act like a ninja, no, but he is still a ninja. Lots of teleporting, thrown weapons, and things like that.

Just make him really loud and fight with his bare hands.

>>7832404
Sounds like good fun.

>>7832402
you want ninja? you get ninja(sk). or... you know, the various poison pokemon.

>>7832395
Yes, an Alakazam can do more. That doesn't mean it should, or that nothing will punish it if it does.

Actually, Charmander is awesome in general.

"CHAAAAAAAAR!"

Charmander episode is intelligently written compared to the newer ones.

Charmeleon got barely any non-comabt airtime, Charizard turned into a jerk. Both emphasize Charmander's awesomeness.

My first PKMN card was a Charmander I fished outta the trash can. I still have him...

>>7832412
or rhydon, or ursaring, or houndoom, or tentacruel, or...

Well guys, it's been about 4 hours.
I'm going to get some dinner.

I'll be back to answer more questions/argue with trolls/reupload if i need to afterwards.

>or tentacruel

Especially.

>>7832453
I think the point was that he was getting overconfident, or something.

Like HOLY SHIT BALLS I'VE EVOLVED TORCHING ALL THESE EXEGGCUTOR I AM THE GREATEST SO FUCK YOUR SHIT.

It takes like another hundred episodes for him to respect Ash again.

I don't think I understand the class system. So, you choose a special feature. But they're associated with classes. So... are you picking the class, and you get the two abilities listed? Or do you pick one of the abilities, and that just sort of comes with the class' other features (statboost, for example)?

Or something else?

>>7832484

I don't think I saw that far.

Plus, the portable ones are more fun to me. That way they can walk on their own and get some exercise.

>>7832502
And sometimes they just look better.

See: Ivysaur and Wartortle.

>>7832490
I think it's "you get one ability every level, but you can only choose class-specific abilities if you take that class"

Perhaps you should change 'Earth Mover' to 'Earthshaker' and 'Water Pusher' to 'Hydrokinetic'?

>>7832589

>>7832589
I like Earthshaker. Grats. You renamed Earth Mover.
Water Pusher does need a new name, but not Hydrokenetic.
>>7832490
When you get a new Class/Advanced Class, you get two features for free.

>>7832908
hm... islandwalker?

>>7833104
I don't think that implies that they can spontaneous generate water and ice.

How do trainers regain health? Because it seems like active Psychics would be shedding it left and right.

Hydromancer?

I liked hyrdokinetic...
Aquaphile?
Rainmaker?

>>7833139
cryomancer?

>>7832469
what fucking program is that? i want.

>>7833177
Extended rests do good for Psychics. Since they are only losing life force and not actually sustaining physical damages, a night's rest should do the job. Once they break an arm or something, their extended rest's recovery would be capped.

>>7833185
I like rain maker. Rain maker it is.

>>7833244
Shoddy Battle on smogon university

I like it a lot. I waste time doing matches there.

>>7833263
So physical wounds require traditional healing, then? Like, hospital style?

>>7833283
Yes.

How come Psychics don't have an advanced feature that buffs psychic pokemon and Martial Artists don't have an advanced feature that buffs fighting pokemon? Wouldn't that make sense?

From the Psychic Residue ability:
>You may also roll 1d20 when reading someone’s mind. If your roll plus you INT modifier is higher then 15, you leave no psychic residue.
So, this only applies when mind reading, other things that might leave residue get no chance to not?

>>7833390
It would probably work best to just let them take the appropriate Type Ace advanced feature.

>>7833513
I think the general idea for that was that any Psychic usage leaves evidence of doing so.

>>7833624
Correct.

Well. I'm about to start a Magic cube draft.
Until next time /tg/.

>>7833390

Because being psychic and having psychic Pokemon aids in training them, like being physical aids training physical Pokemon.

Result? Faster training, greater bond.

Sorry, was playing ME2, im not late am I?

>>7833674
The way I understood it, only those psychic moves that specifically said "Using this on a target leaves discoverable psychic residue." were discoverable. Though now I notice that really it's pretty much just influential features which have those. I think I like that setup better, though, seeing as otherwise we have silly things like Telekinesis leaving it.

The specific thing I was talking about there was that Psychic Residue (feature) says you can avoid leaving it when mind reading, but other features (and, presumably, moves) should also be leaving it. It seems to me that this should allow a chance of not being discoverable for any residue-leaving activity. Since this would then be a relatively powerful feature, this could, perhaps, be split into two features (Psychic Perception and Psychic Stealth, I'd say) for balance.

>>7833737
FUCK!

>>7833820
FFFFFFFFFF I'm way too slow.

I'm still sort of here. I'm just playing cube. Hey halfwing.

>>7832217
My Magmar flamethrowers the gun in your hand, igniting the gunpowder and getting molten metal all over you.

Guns don't have shit on Pokémon. Several of them would probably shrug off all but the most potent rounds.

>>7833877
That's some impressive control, melting the gun without also melting the hand attached to it.

Know what I think Pokemon needed?

GRADES of Gym Badge. Say you go to the Pewter Town Gym (Brock's place). You register the levels of your Pokemon and fight a junior trainer that is going to be an achievement for you to take down at your level. If you win, you are given a 10th-Grade Boulder Badge. As you do the harder trials, the Gym leader may come and watch you fight. By the time you get to first-grade (Brock himself), you would have to be truly mighty to face off against him and earn the 1st-Grade Boulder Badge.

Many events held elsewhere would require each participant have a certain number of badges of a certain grade, and use Pokemon within that grade.

Of course, entry to the Elite Four would still require all eight 1st-Grade badges. However, smaller competitions would go down on Indigo Plateau for people who have collected lesser badges.

Thoughts?

>>7833909
A good idea, in terms of logic, but it's more than would be enjoyable in a game.

>>7833925
Would increase the playtime though. Be a good thing to encourage people to evolve more than one team of Pokemon.

>>7833909

I love that idea. It would totally give me a reason to go back to Misty's and get to know her, as opposed to just returning there every time I saved to propagate a relationship with her in my mind.

>>7833873
In that case, I don't suppose I could get some feedback on >>7833820, please? The existing version is a good start, but I feel that it needs more, to allow for the possibility of psychic criminals, and general mind-affecting douchebaggery.

>>7833873
Oh you are here.

I was just wondering how Trainer vs Pokemon combat works.

Which stats do you compare to wich, etc.

Like if a martial artist decided to punch a pokemon in the face, how do you determine damage.

Is there any easy way to convert pokemon attacks to be used by players?

What about trainer attacks to be used by pokemon?

By current RAW, ninjas can't use throwing weapons. In fact, nobody can ever learn to use a weapon not given for free by their class.

>>7834075
You're right, sorry about that. Arms Features are still getting fixed since they are the last Features I've made.

Thannak, I assume you've left the pictures thread, so I have a question. Could you give me a link to the moe pokegirls? Or a source on them? I used to have it, but somehow lost it. 'Twould be much appreciated.

>>7834143

just came back, walking dog.

I snagged them off 4chan awhile ago, about 2 years now I think.

They might be on Downbooru though, I found a fw there once.

>>7834125
So it goes. I'm looking through it all, and I'll let you know about any other problems I see. In terms of that specific one, though, I'd just make a "Gift" parameter, separate from prerequisites.

>>7834143
http://www4.atwiki.jp/hitec/pages/142.html
that what you where after?
left column has groups which bring up a menu on the right

>>7830663
Meters and pounds? Why the weird ass blend rather than just going straight metric?

>>7834777

Because Canadians and Americans are friends?

>>7834777
Presumably, the sort of weird-ass blend where you pick what works.

>>7834943
As an ausfag this confuses me. Why not do one or the other? I'm used to LOL fivefoot squares and lbs due to d&d, and I'm used to meters and kgs in real life but using both systems together just seems... odd.

Is there any country where people actually use meters and pounds?

>>7834978

Not a country, but Washington State in the US.

We get huge amount of Canadians and Californians going through.

Except me, I suck at units of measure in both systems.

>>7833909
I'd be inclined to agree, but probably limit it to like, three grades if anything. Gold, Silver and Platinum class perhaps? I'd say gyms should still involve fights with multiple trainers before the finale, but for silver and gold classes it might be more 'Garth - Silver Class prefect for the ____ gym'.

And of course, being an ex-gym trainer could be an appropriate background for characters. Maybe have a range of different backgrounds to choose from, giving different statistical pros and cons?

I dunno, haven't read all the previous stuff, could've already been suggested.

>>7834125
ohai!

>>7834933
Are you sure?

Cool story, bro.

No one cares.

interestingly enough, who gives a shit, just what we need more pokemon, that will fix the most stagnated RPG in all the land.

>>7835854
What, DH?

>>7835900
Sorry, /v/ideo RPG

>>7835918
It's been a long time since this thread was about that.

one thing that has me interested is this system going to have player-versus combat as that seemed to be a big part of pokemon.

>>7836110
It can. If you want to or not is up to you. Pokemon centers exist.

Oh hey everyone. Cube's done. Tied for first.

Time to answer some questions.

>>7834178
I appreciate it.

>>7834777
Pounds are for people who don't know Metric. Myself included. I will be adding Metric equals next to each instance of Imperial measurements, just not at this very moment.

>>7833909
An alternative is the following, which I've used for each Gym.
Gym Leaders place restraint braces on their pokemon, which reduces their power to that of the trainer they are battling.
As a result, fighting Blaine first will fights weaker Fire, and Brock last will fight a deadly Aerodactyl.
I've used it in two playtesting campaigns so far, and it's worked out well.

>>7834044
Trainers do not add modifiers unless the Move says to add a specific Modifier. Otherwise, everything else is the same. When trainer take damage from an attack, they take it all - unless they have a feature which says otherwise. Trainers go first during a round of battle, at this time they can try to attack or use trainer actions.

>>7835854
I don't know if I like you.

>>7836110
It can. It's a big deal during the closing part of a campaign after the big bad. At the end of the first playtesting campaign, the players beat the big bad and saved the world so they were invited to the regional pokemon championship. They battled to see who would challenge the elite four. One was crowned a champion after taking on the 4.

I promised to upload all of my pic up to date, and i forgot. Sorry. Here they are.
