Somebody Else [Pokémon]

Reader mode
So with Eevee:

Normal gets locked initially, with a possibility to lock Electric, Fire, Water, Grass, Ice, Psychic, or Dark later on.

Leaves 11 more free types, baring dual typed pokemon. I think we could pull it off!
 
So its a pretty restricting Domain but can be planned around. That is fine

You could totally add more conditionals to that Restriction btw.

For example, only male, only three-tier evolutions, with at least one evolution that gains or loses a type, and with non-repeating types.

But that's crazy. :V

And still not as strong as Lance's Restriction.

Lance is playing Ironman, he deserves the bonus.

-[X] Restrict your Domain to non-repeating types.

Going Squirtle because David is an absolute tank, and going with this restriction because it's a fun one that's fairly easy to play around that incentives picking unique Pokemon. We're going to want multiple types of Pokemon to handle different challenges anyway, soooo...

Oh hey, a question that I just thought of: What's the status of the 6 party rule? Like, is 6 the maximum amount of Pokemon that any Trainer can bond with at a time, is it the general maximum, or can just any Trainer bond with any number of Pokemon? Because if so, we could just add a Restriction for 6 party members for some more power.
 
Yeah, that 6 party limit could work, but will that stop any "switching" of pokes? Like maybe one of the pokes we bring along wants to stay back at the city. Does that still count against the 6 limit?
 
Wow Leaf really boxed herself in as far as typing goes. With poison / grass the only pokemon she will be able to get to go with her Bulbasaur is the Oddish line, Bellsprout line, Budew line, and Foongus line. She really should have gone for grass types with 3 evolutions or something, that at least would have let her be a lot more versatile.

Going with this because we are suppose to be Gary "Mother Fucking" Oak, and what is Gary without his iconic Eevee.

It's Poison, not Grass/Poison thankfully.

Library : 1. Stone
  • Informational
    • A new article has been added to The Library!




    Library
    A compendium on the world and everything within it.


    Stone is the primary source of energy in present-day civilisation.

    Made out of condensed Mana, it naturally forms in places with high concentrations of elemental energies. This is why large veins of Stone can be found in places such as Viridian Forest, Cinnabar Volcano, and other similar Mana hotspots. However, Wild Pokémon have been observed to be drawn to the manifestation of Stone, which is why these mines have naturally become breeding nests for Wild Pokémon.

    Stone also tends to form from the bleed-off of Mana when the elements are manipulated by a Pokémon, in particular when elemental Mana is used in combat. This causes small fragments of Stone to sometimes manifest during and after battles, and also the reason why large or prolonged battles tend to attract increasingly more Wild Pokémon.

    Early discoverers once sought to build Stone farms within the safety of civilisation, but they soon discovered that Stone does not form within the radius of an Everstone. While this later became an indicator of the presence of an undiscovered Everstone, it is presently one of the main factors that contributes to the energy crisis of the world, as the only way to obtain Stone is to venture into the Wilderness.

    As most present-day technology is powered by harnessing the energy within Stone, the foraging of these energy sources used to be one of the main duties of a Trainer party, along with the exploration of uncharted territory and the continuous search for undiscovered Everstones. In more recent years, however, these responsibilities have been slowly assumed by the Scouts, a newer arm of the League dedicated to its less combat-oriented duties.

    Stone has been observed to manifest in six known variants, each corresponding to one or more of the Pokémon elements. These include the Leafstone, Firestone, Waterstone, Thunderstone, Dawnstone, and Duskstone.

    Every time your Domain Ranks Up, you get to forge one more Pact. Right now your limit is 2.

    Pacts are permanent unless the Trainer or the Pokemon dies.

    6-party limit is meaningless since you need an S-Rank in Domain to get 6 Pacts in the first place, which is a hard limit.

    If the Trainer dies, all Pokemon that were previously Pacted to the Trainer gets a Rank-Up in Independent Action, and their Pact is dissolved.

    If a Pokemon dies, the Trainer just frees up one Pact slot from their Domain with no other repercussions.

    If a Trainer ever gets all of their Pokemon killed while still managing to survive, their Restrictions clear up and they can start over, although trying to convince a Pokemon to Pact with you without having a Starter is practically impossible, since you'll come across as either incompetent or malicious (from getting all your Pokemon killed) and they'll automatically consider you to not be trustworthy.

    You typically have to actually work to convince a Pokemon to forge a Pact with you, since most Pokemon are not fighters, and even those that are fighters have their own interests and might not be happy to leave their life to follow some stranger. Wild Pokemon cannot be "caught", since turning Wild is permanent and irreversible. You can only Pact with civilised Pokemon, which means looking around for soldiers or mercenaries.

    Of course, every Trainer and their Pokemon actually earn a decent salary from the League, depending on the Trainer's Trainer Rank, so that's a plus.

    Typically it's also near-impossible to evolve without a Pact, unless the Pokemon in question has a high Rank in Independent Action, otherwise trying to leave the radius of an Everstone just means instantly turning Wild.

    Pokemon soldiers or mercenaries can hold small shards of Everstone to leave their settlement and travel, forage, hunt, etc. but it's a risk because these smaller Everstones lose their effect over time, unless recharged near a primary Everstone.

    So most Pokemon fighters typically are just garrisoned to their settlement as defenders in case of a Wild Pokemon attack.

    Your best bet for convincing a Pokemon typically is to appeal to:
    - Pokemon who hate their settlement/life
    - suicidal Pokemon
    - idealistic Pokemon
    - materialistic Pokemon
    - appealing to their desire to travel
    - appealing to their desire to evolve

    That's probably about it? Any questions?

    Pertinent info you might wanna dissect @Magnive @Oh I am slain! @Diomedon @Skewfiend @Wootius

    Do we have any other MVPs in-thread I need to tag? Haven't really been keeping track.

    Also is @Sirrocco actually still active on SV?
     
  • Apocrypha
    • I propose an additional restriction :

    [X] Restrict your Domain to Pokémon that cover multiple types with their evolution and/or forms.

    Especially fun with no repeats :) we'd have to put some thought into what we want.
    To clarify what I mean: Squirtle is a Water-Type and all its evolutions or alternate forms(none) are pure Water-Types, so Squirtle is not legal.
    Charmander is a Fire-Type, Charmeleon too, but Charizard adds a Flying-Type to the line, so Charmander is legal.
    Eevee is a Normal-Type, Vaporeon is a Water-Type, so Eevee and evolutions/forms cover more than one type.

    Obviously we lose some cool Pkmn here (many Legendaries, Blissey, Snorlax, many starters...) but I think it would be fun.
     
    Wild Pokémon stay wild, but what about breeding a wild Pokémon in a safe zone? Is that where civilized Pokémon come from?

    Too aggressive to have been tried. Wild Pokemon would rather kill any captors or die trying.

    Also coming up in a Library article is the interaction between Primary Everstones, Humans, and Wild Pokemon.

    The summary is that a Primary Everstone needs at least one Human in range at all times to stay active. So the above plan is unfeasible as the Wild Pokemon will go berserk attacking the Human if you try to contain it in a safe zone. There's no way to leave its aggro range while staying in a safe zone.

    Civilised Pokemon are all descendants from ancient times before the Miasma.

    But that's for another article about the Miasma, the Church of Arceus, and the Progenitor.

    Primary Everstones keep sanity in Pokémon when humans are near, but do they still stop evolution when humans are not there? And is a whole living human needed, or just human cells? Also, would prolonged uses of attract work for mating?

    Trying to get anywhere away from the Amatsun Continent will definitely get you killed in the sea before you get anywhere close to any of the other continents lol.

    Something something Pokemon 2000 changed to getting Lugia to fix the currents and lower the danger of ocean voyages?


    Admittedly, that's part of my reason for choosing David as well, not traversing oceans, but having someone that can help with crossing rapids or underwater stuff.
