Ummm...I'd wait for JKKL to come back to put you in the game.

Although, to be honest, I was never a fan of the Robot thing. Unless you're really set on it, I'd suggest changing it.

The robot thing I had plans for. I'm gonna hold off on putting you back in for a while, to see if ReZ is going to start up the other half of this RPG again. If he doesn't plan to in the forseeable future, I'll let you know and we'll find a place to work you in.

he pretty much declared it dead, when i asked him and he said that he thought i was taking over which is when i started up th new one. which led to the ham situation so i decided to come here.

if the robot thing can be taken out of the equation then i already have a backup charater(s)(by that i mean there like a duo figure) ready, we can just give that a fresh start.

[bigdonkey1]

ok here is my idea for a new character (that i prefer to the robot(he just got to boring and complicated but i do still have ideas)

Nickolas(nick) ford and Samantha(Sam) barton

nick ford is a mysterious trainer from the inner city of vermillion city. growing up around the horrible envoirment of the gangs warring outside his front door, as a result of this he became somewhat agoraphobic, starting to hate the people on the outside, these feelings grew more and more as he himself grew,never carring very much for pokemon, this was until when he has 19 and in university, where he met samanatha barton a girl with a love of almost the world and all the people around her. uplifted by her carefree spirit. he instantly fell in love with her and they began dating, she over time managed to change him into a less angry person,more pessimistic, person. once the pair finished uni they decided to go and travel through Europe, but at this time nick had no pokemon for protection and sam only had a chansey, so they decided to go to the nearest proffessor for pokemon, that proffesor being profferos elm, giving nick a tododile and sam a chikorita they set off on there journey along the way cathing more pokémon and becoming closer and closer. now they travel the land looking for adventures.


nicks pokémon:
chomper (tododile) (male)

(i'll leave the stats and stuff to you)

gnasher (growlithe) (male)


tauros


slasher(sneasel)


sam's pokemon

chikorita (female)


horsea (male)


chansey (female)


is that ok

[Young Pilgrim]

Shouldn't you have one character? Because I don't think the duo-figure mechanic applies to pokemon trainers.

[bigdonkey1]

well then how about they're just two characters that are always together

[Conchizzie]

Really, I don't see much of a problem with it. Think of all the Rocket Duos on the show. Actually, yesterday, there was an episode with the Champion Twins, two brothers that fought as one.

My only beef with it is that no matter what, you'll have to send out 2 pokemon, unless Nick or Sam is challenged Directly. In addition, I don't think you'd be allowed more than the 6 pokemon. 12 pokemon for yourself seems a bit out of the ordinary, and not really fair to the rest of us. Character development might be a bit hard, seeing that you have two characters to worry about, not one. Raising all pokemon efficiently might be trouble as well.

Also, why did you choose the pokemon that you did? Why not more team oriented pokemon? I would've loved to see someone use Pluse and Minun.

[bigdonkey1]

i missed that episode because it's not on youtube yet

well i chose some of the ones (chansey, griowlithe) as ones that in d&p partners had, and i liked them and never used them, that and i thought they suited the characters.

as for both battling at the same time and team building, i'm %100 about multitasking, as i right this i'm playing halo and watching dr.phil(don't ask why) so if it's ok then i would just use them like i would the rest of you, seperate characrters who are part of a group

[JKL]

Let's just start with one character, shall we?

[bigdonkey1]

if it's about haveing seven pokemon, chansey doesn't battle it uses healing moves like softboiled and stuff

or i can just use one charcter at a time

It's kinda about having seven Pokemon. See, you're gonna have opportunities to catch more as the game goes on from a wide variety of places. By having two trainers at once (semi-attached at the hip), you increase your total party complement to 12 (as compared to everyone else's six). Additionally, in Swarm Battle Settings, where the entire group gets attacked by wild Pokemon, you would have, essentially, twice as many chances as everybody else to catch wild Pokemon.

[Brain King]

exactly what he said im the collecter off the group Im catching rare powerful pokemon

[bigdonkey1]

well i don't want any new pokemon, chansey doesn't battle but serves more of a mobile pokemon center role,giving me six. swarms you can only give me one poké battle and i'll use one character to battle it, thus eliminating multiple pokes.

[JKL]

Look, you get one character. End of discussion.

[bigdonkey1]

or if that's not ok then i've played about with the teams

One character. Una persona. En person. Eine Person. Comprende?

I have no problems with this re-re-edited, combined version of the party if no one else does.
