PokeOcalypse - {GAME COMPLETE}
{CuddlyCaucasian and Klick present}
Greetings, trainers. I have gathered you here today to begin the great journey that will be your life as a trainer, catching Pokemon across the region of Metazoa and changing the world in your own way. But a great evil is upon us; Team Mortem is rising, and they hope to bring a new dawn of destruction upon the world by uniting the Four Rings of the PokeOcalypse: the Ring of War, Ring of Conquest, Ring of Famine, and the Ring of Death. We at the Pokemon League need the bravest, smartest, and most heroic of trainers tobecome the Lord of the Ringsbecome a Pokemon master and put an end to their nefarious plans. So, will you join me?
{GENERAL RULES}
This is a game. The main objective is to have fun; so no excessive flaming, spamming, or submission of anything else prohibited within the MS forums.{01}
This is a game. The secondary objective is to dominate.{02}
I am not infallible, so if I make a mistake, please point it out to me privately so that I may make corrections as necessary.{03}
I have worked extensively to produce a game that is enjoyed by all involved. As such, I promise to offer each player respect but expect to be shown the same in return.{04}
Exercise common sense. If you are unsure as to whether an action conflicts with the rules, ask. Yes, this is a competition, but do not attempt to undermine challenges or game mechanics for your own gain. This violates both the spirit of the game and common respect mentioned above.{05}
Private communication between all players will be allowed unless otherwise stated for a specific challenge. Any player found in violation in that case will be penalized.{06}
I reserve all rights to implement new rules if needed.{07}
{GAME MECHANICS}
Winning Pokemon:
Before each round, a list of the Pokemon available for selection will be shown. All players will have 24 hours to submit a list showing their order of preference of those Pokemon. If a player fails to submit, a list will be randomized for them.{01}
Pokemon will be given out in order of challenge performance on that round, with the highest ranking player receiving their highest ranked Pokemon that has not already been given out, and so on.{02}
All Pokemon have been carefully distributed between rounds to make sense geographically and to make the game balanced. Please cherish all Pokemon you receive, and remember that every point in a challenge counts. No trading of Pokemon is allowed.{03}
All Pokemon have been pre-determined to evolve at a certain point; most of this is by a certain level, but I assure you that all Pokemon will evolve at a time that makes it most balanced in the game.{04}
Challenges:
In most cases, rounds will alternate between individual and team-based. If a challenge breaks this rule, players will be notified in advance.{05}
In individual challenge rounds, in most cases, the 2 highest ranking players will be assigned as team captains for the next round, and the 2 lowest ranking players will be sent into elimination.{06}
In team challenge rounds, in most cases, team captains will have 24 hours to submit a list of the players remaining in the game ranked by preference; these will be used to determine the teams, with each captain receiving their highest ranking player that hasn't been taken, until no players remain. The captain of the team that wins the challenge will earn a Gym Badge, and has 24 hours to select two players from the losing team to send into elimination.{07}
I appreciate the fact that prospective contestants will enter this game with a range of skills. With this in mind, understand that I as a mod cannot cater to all players' needs and time constraints in challenges.{08}
The outcomes of all challenges are final. That said, be sure to keep Rule 03 of General Rules in mind.{09}
Spoiler: Tiebreaking Procedure for Challenges
Elimination Battles:
All elimination in this game will occur through Pokemon battles on Pokemon Showdown. Both players involved have 96 hours to find a time where they can both be online to battle. The loser of each battle is permanently eliminated from the game, and their Pokemon are removed from play. If a battle has not been carried out within this time frame, a mock battle will be conducted by me.{10}
The only Pokemon allowed for use in battles are those received by players in the course of the game; no trading is allowed. All items, TM moves, and egg moves are fair game, but anything banned by Smogon will be banned in this game. For clarification on whether something is allowed, message me and I will notify you as soon as possible.{11}
All Pokemon will have a set level for each round; this can be determined by 2 + 3(Round number).{12}
The outcomes of all Elimination Battles are final.{13}
To make sure the game does not go on forever, the round following the elimination battle will take place during the time when the elimination battle is being conducted. The winner of that elimination battle will therefore automatically have immunity for the round he didn't take part in, and receives a random Pokemon for that round.{14}
Endgame:
Once only three players remain in the game, a final challenge will be held. The winner of this challenge automatically advances to the Final Two, while the other two players have a battle for elimination. The winner of that battle then advances to the Final Two.{15}
The winner of the game will then be decided in a series of three battles, with both players using only the Pokemon they obtained throughout the course of the game, and neither player being allowed to use any of their Pokemon in more than one battle. The first player to win two battles wins the title of Pokemon Master.{16}
Twists:
Twists will be implemented without warning or provocation throughout the game. The time and setting of each twist has already been determined, so as to neither give an unfair advantage or disadvantage to a player or group of players.{17}Last edited by CuddlyCaucasian on Fri May 16, 2014 5:09 pm, edited 64 times in total."CC is very [whatever the equivalent of photogenic as it applies to videos]" - racefan12

Here's a link to the banlist I'll be going by! http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/of ... t.3491371/ Blaziken is listed as banned, but he'll obviously be available for use without Speed Boost.
So as of now, all Mega Formes are allowed excluding Blaziken, Gengar, and Kangaskhan, but only one Mega on a team, of course."CC is very [whatever the equivalent of photogenic as it applies to videos]" - racefan12

I've heard Fennekin is pretty good, but I've only played through X & Y with Chespin and Froakie, so I'm not sure. But Charizard is probably still facing the problem of being quad weak to Stealth Rock, especially if it's still as prevalent as it used to be. :/"CC is very [whatever the equivalent of photogenic as it applies to videos]" - racefan12

If players need it, extensions will be made; I'd rather the game provide ample time for players than the game to be rushed. But if people are taking 3 years then yeah no.In post 23, orcinus_theoriginal wrote:

This, basically, it originally was going to be a Pokemon-themed version of Kingdom Clash until we made it so there's only one challenge each round rather than two. (The elimination battles basically take the place of the second challenge though.)In post 33, D3f3nd3r wrote:The format of this game is pretty much exactly like that of the Kingdom Clash game or whatever it was called, but the elimination duels are done using Pokemon Showdown.
Silly Mhork!In post 30, Lord Mhork wrote:Wait is this thing just going to be pokemon showdown part two? I might actually quit if that's game.
Also, I've acknowledged that players will need more than 48 hours for elimination battles. The most likely solution to this is giving players however long they need (hopefully no more than 4 days), while letting everyone else make Pokemon selections and form teams (if necessary) in the waiting time. The other solution is tweaking the format so that any players in an elimination battle won't take part in the next challenge, and won't receive a Pokemon in the next round, although they'll also be automatically safe from going back into an elimination battle immediately. This would keep everyone from having to wait a few days in between each round, and considering that there will be 16 elimination battles prior to the endgame, that might be a better idea if everyone is okay with it."CC is very [whatever the equivalent of photogenic as it applies to videos]" - racefan12

The elimination battles portion of the rules has now been edited to avoid desolating the pace of the game.

A: Is this all happening onsite or offsite?
B: Are elimination matches going to be public or private with everyone else only seeing the results?
B: I will post who won each elimination match, with full details of the match available for disclosure by the winner of the match. So if the winner wants to share a replay of the battle, that's their decision.

I wouldn't necessarily say any Pokemon are better than others entirely, since Chikorita is probably best suited for support, with moves like Leech Seed and Aromatherapy, but a lot of it depends on how people use them. But I definitely see your point, that's why all Pokemon distribution from now on is determined by challenge performance.In post 66, TierShift wrote:Overheat charmander f yeah.

"Welcome, new trainers, to the beautiful world of Pokemon," Professor Willow greeted.
The air was still with the hushed excitement of the young, naive trainers' innocent eagerness and vigor.Aniandkdownsargued playfully at the back of the crowd, whileMistcouldn't take her sparkling eyes off of the professor's old, wise face.cxinleewas distracted as usual, watching a lovely Butterfree fly from branch to branch of a nearby tree. The weather was as calm as usual in Metazoa, with the faint wind barely audible over the chirping and squeals of nearby Pokemon.
"I've gathered you all here in front of my lab today to inform you of the first step you'll be taking in your journey," Professor Willow lectured sternly. "Now, our first order of business is in regards to the first Pokemon you'll be capturing on your own. I've assembled a list of the Pokemon available in the Route just outside of Ludus Town, but only the most skilled trainers will receive the Pokemon they most desire. You have24 hoursto submit a list of these Pokemon, ranked in order of preference.
Spoiler: Alphabetical List
"In other news, I have randomly divided you all into 4 teams of 5; a journey is best embarked with friends," Professor Willow chimed. "These teams won't stay together for long, and are only in place to help you trainers get to know each other. For the next24 hours,feel free toassociate with anyone you please, but to keep you safe from any dangers there may be, I will isolate you all in my lab until the first challenge begins after Pokemon preferences have been decided." Professor Willow pulled out a piece of paper from her pocket, unfolding it as she spoke. "The teams are as follows."
Red Team:DeathNote, Xalxe, Axxle, orcinus_theoriginal, BlackPawn14
Green Team:JasonWazza, PrivateI, Candillan, Mist7676, D3f3nd3r
Yellow Team:kdowns, Lord Mhork, animorpherv1, KingdomAces, JJcoolPants

Anyway, I was actually expecting the first batch of Pokemon available to be terrible, but it turns out there's actually some really strong Pokes here. This is going to be hard to decide already, though I know what I'm probably going to end up with no matter what I put on my list though.

"I trust all of you have made yourselves at home," Professor Willow said cheerfully. "All Pokemon selections have been made, and now the first challenge can begin."
"I've assigned each of the four teams a room in my laboratory; you can find those in the hall to your left. Once inside your room, you will find a list of25 PokeDex entriesI have compiled.Without using outside sources, the teammates must work together to decipher which entry belongs to what Pokemon. Any member of a team may submit the team's guesses, but once a submission has been made, itcannot be altered. Communication between players not on the same team is strictlyprohibited. Now, everyone enter your rooms and begin," the professor commanded.
It loves to eat leaves. If it is attacked by a Starly, it will defend itself with its spiked rear.{01}
It uses a mysterious power. When it does so, this Pokémon generates brain waves that are supposedly only seen in sleepers. This discovery spurred controversy among scholars.{02}
With planetary development software installed, it became capable of working in space.{03}
They never allow prey to escape. Their jaws are so powerful, they can crush the body of an automobile.{04}
As a protective technique, it can completely freeze its fur to make its hairs stand like needles.{05}
Its shell is said to be stuffed with happiness that it shares with kindhearted people.{06}
The bunch of fruit around its neck ripens twice a year and is delicious. It's a highly favored tropical snack.{07}
A Pokémon that races across the land. It is said that one is born every time a new volcano appears.{08}
When agitated, this Pokémon protects itself by spraying poisonous sweat from its pores.{09}
It stimulates its muscles with electricity, boosting the strength in its legs and enabling it to run 100 yards in five seconds.{10}
It lives around clean ponds. At night, its rear lights up. It converses with others by flashing its light.{11}
When the heavy rainfall season ends, it is drawn out by warm sunlight to dance in the open.{12}

For a while, I was like that too, refusing to acknowledge the existence of EVs, IVs, or any of that. But I finally decided to read up on all those terms so I would at least know what my friends were talking about, but it ended up basically spurring my interest in Pokémon again. I'm still terrible at competitive battling, but the time I put into learning about it was definitely worth it, even though it did seem needlessly complicated at first."CC is very [whatever the equivalent of photogenic as it applies to videos]" - racefan12

{ROUND 02}
"I hope everyone has had ample time to rest," Professor Willow said with a smile. "Now, if you'd all follow me, let's head down to the end of the route."
The group of players walked down the grassy path, playing with their Pokemon along the way, although some of them were less joyous than others.AxxleandXalxebickered over which of their Pokemon were cuter, whileCandillanandYileypicked onD3f3nd3r, throwing his PokeBalls into a nearby bush when he wasn't looking.
"Children, you're much too mature for that," Professor Willow lectured sternly. "This journey is a great honor, you need to work together rather than against each other. But alas, we have arrived at the end of the route."
Before the players stood a huge opening into a grove of trees, and the bright sunlight from the sky was quickly swallowed up by the canopy above. "Holy shit..."Orcimuttered under his breath.
"This, my students, is Acedia Forest. Trust me, it's not as daunting as it looks, but that doesn't mean any of you are safe from being swallowed up by its dark and twisting trails. And for two of you, getting lost will be theleastof your concerns. First of all, here is a list of all the Pokemon that can be found in the forest."
Spoiler: Alphabetical List
"The second order of business is the challenge. It isindividual, so all teams are disbanded. Today I'll be testing you on your speed and patience. The challenge will take place over12 rounds. Each round, all players may takeup to 25 stepsthrough the forest. However, the player who tries to go thefasteston each round will trip and end up taking0 stepsthat round. If there's atie for the most stepson a round, all players involved in the tie willtrip. The steps for all rounds should be submitted at thesame time. The more steps a player has taken after 12 rounds are over, the earlier he/she will be able to catch a Pokemon in Acedia Forest. In addition, thetwo playerswho have taken themost stepsafter 12 rounds will beteam captainsfor the next challenge, whilethe two players who have taken the least steps after 12 rounds will enter an elimination battle.Communication between any players about this challenge at all is strictly prohibited.However, you may still communicate on the topic of the game in general."
"So to summarize, you have24 hoursto submit your lists of Pokemon preference, and48 hoursto submit your lists for the challenge. If you're all super fast and make it through the forest before deadline, I'll announce the results early, but I doubt you hooligans are capable of that," Professor Willow teased.

And yep, when Nincada reaches Level 20, its trainer gets a Ninjask and a Shedinja.

UPDATE:Players moving the same number of steps in a round will no longer bump into each other since that adds needlessly more luck into the challenge, and doesn't logically make sense. Moving the most steps on a round is the only thing that will make you trip now. If desired, players may re-submit lists. The challenge post has been updated to reflect this change.

The endgame is the aspect of this game I've constantly struggled to achieve a balance in that ties the social, challenge-based, and battling portions of the game together. I strongly considered having a jury system similar to Kingdom Clash, allowing all eliminated players to give either finalist one or all of their Pokemon. However, to make the challenge-based nature more meaningful, to keep final teams from consisting of all OU Pokemon, and to make players value every Pokemon they receive, this endgame procedure is now set in stone.In post 0, CuddlyCaucasian wrote:Endgame:
Once only three players remain in the game, a final challenge will be held. The winner of this challenge automatically advances to the Final Two, while the other two players have a battle for elimination. The winner of that battle then advances to the Final Two.{15}
The winner of the game will then be decided in a series of three battles, with both players using only the Pokemon they obtained throughout the course of the game, and neither player being allowed to use any of their Pokemon in more than one battle. The first player to win two battles wins the title of Pokemon Master.{16}"CC is very [whatever the equivalent of photogenic as it applies to videos]" - racefan12

Challenge Results
First of all, for further elaboration, Acedia is Latin for sloth, the deadly sin indicating laziness or apathy. This challenge was designed to test everyone's motivations, and how much everyone valued getting a good Pokémon over risking elimination. Anyone too hesitant to take risks or too careless about their own safety would be punished, and that's what happened today.

{ROUND 03}
The players, led by Professor Willow, exited the forest, a great burst of sunlight immediately hitting them and leaving them all temporarily stunned. The day was nearing its end, and sunset loomed within a visible reach.KingdomAcesyawned vigorously, whileJJCoolPantstried to hit onShiidajiwith some typical line about how even the sunset couldn't compare to her beauty.
"Typical," Professor Willow muttered, amused by the children. "I have to admit, you kids may not be the brightest of the bunch, but you sure are competitive. Come on now, let's try to make it into Acedia City before dark."
After another hour of trekking along, the party reached a gate. The professor waved towards a man in the tollbooth, and the door was open in the blink of an eye. The young trainers looked on in awe, as the city's modest aura radiated from the moderately-sized residential buildings and numerous public gathering places. This was definitely a city made for families, and it was inviting enough to house the entire Boy Scouts of America.
"Follow me, it's getting late and my friend Abraham is excited to see you," Professor Willow urged.
The group walked down a few blocks, passing a few cheerful adults walking their pets before bed, and finally arrived at a cozy-looking establishment on the street corner.
"This, my students, is the Pokemon Day Care--" the words had barely made it out of her mouth when a middle-aged, pudgy man exited through the front door leisurely.
"Oh hey there, you must be the new trainers," the man droned, shaking a few of their hands.
"It's nice to see you again, Abraham," the professor remarked. "Is business doing well?"
"Well as ever, I suppose," Abraham sighed. "But enough about me, I bet these kids are eager to get their hands on some new Pokemon!" A few of the trainers yawned in excitement. "Maybe we'll save that for tomorrow. But until then, follow me inside and you can at least have a look at some of the Pokemon I've hatched, along with a few I've rescued off the streets," Abraham said lifelessly, leading the kids inside. "Have a look."
Spoiler: Alphabetical List
A few of the trainers examined the new Pokemon with excitement, while the majority looked like they hadn't slept in days. "Well it looks like someone needs a nap," Professor Willow mocked, messing upTheBadOne's hair. "Oh, and I may have forgotten to mention, but Abraham here is the first Gym Leader of the Metazoa region. So you all know what that means.24 hoursto submit your lists for Pokemon preference, and24 hoursfor team captains to submit their lists for player preference.

The challenge for Round 3 will be live, and will last for 4 hours starting at 7 PM EST this Wednesday, so 47 hours from this post. Not all players must be present for the whole challenge to participate, but for a team to have the best chance, they should have as many players online as possible. Keep this in mind when making team selections."CC is very [whatever the equivalent of photogenic as it applies to videos]" - racefan12

I should clarify, UP TO four hours.
And it is not an annoying/evil challenge (at least I don't think it is)"CC is very [whatever the equivalent of photogenic as it applies to videos]" - racefan12

BY THE WAY since cxin and Tier aren't participating in this challenge, each of them have 24 hours to PM me with a player they want to bet on for this challenge. Whoever survives the battle wins the same Pokemon as whoever they bet on."CC is very [whatever the equivalent of photogenic as it applies to videos]" - racefan12
