Mini 62: Pokemafia!

[mathcam]

For the discers and mathcams of the crowd, who's good? Who's bad?

Cam

[massive]

Uh ... I'm good. And I really hope that we can train our Pokemon. Mine will be cool when evolved!

[Stewie]

Anybody got anything to talk about?

Um, we could discuss again what the likelihood of evolving our Pokemon are. If we think we can evolve them, it makes sense to go after the lower-evolutions since they're more easily captured; if they don't, then trying for the more powerful ones might be high-risk/high-reward. Any thoughts?

And I originally expected the Pokemon to be one-use-only - I guess I was thinking that, since we were capturing new ones (possibly) with new abilities (possibly), that we'd use up our old ones. Looking at the known Pokemon now, though, it's kinda inconclusive. It looks like Squirtle might have been one-shot, but Meowth doesn't really seem like he's one-shot until he actually finds a Mafia. Ponder.

Another further discussion topic could be criteria for catching new Pokemon, but that might be a little iffy since it would rely on people's experience and give away more info to Team Rocket than might be beneficial.

Well, i have a pokemon that is one shot too, and it doesn't evolve afaik.

[mathcam]

My original pokemon is not one-shot. It doesn't evolve afaik, but afaik isn't very far.

[Stewie]

why the vote? you know that there are one shot pokemons, because someone died and had one, and as far as I understood, you just said you have one that doesn't eveolve yourself.

Now, I'd feel really stupid if that was a random vote.

[mathcam]

Sorry, should have specified OMGUS. I'm too out of my league to try anything more sophisticated.

Massive: Correct me if I'm mistaken but I thought you couldn't capture evolved pokémon, only unevolved ones and train them to get they're evolved forms.

My original pokémon is a one off too. Although, I'd assume there is some with unlimited powers. My guess about evolving, use your pokémon's powers and see what happens.

OMGUS Vote: Massive

[massive]

Hrm, that's a good point. I hadn't thought about it. I'm assuming that this game is based on the TV show and not on the card game or Nintendo games ... but I'm trying to think if any of the Pokemon they actually SHOW being captured were evolved Pokemon. I know Team Rocket tried, on regular occasions, to capture evolved Pokemon (Clefable comes to mind immediately).

My original Pokemon is one-shot and does not evolve. I will also admit that I attempted to catch a basic Pokemon last night, so I have nothing game-wise to offer to the above paragraph.

Hmm, very strange situation for me.

Guys, We started a bandwagon without knowing it.

[massive]

Yeah, I'm also curious what the heck Someone was talking about ...what exactly IS your strange situation?

[mlaker]

I'm having internet problems and am at a library so I'm not going to vote. I'll try to contribute more when I get some regular access.

[mlaker]

Well I did something and hooked internet up to another phone so it'll still be limited access but I can post more until I fix it!

Random Vote Maverick

Also I don't have a one shot pokemon and we can't just put off people with like Arbok or Weezing to be rockets since meowth was a good pokemon.

Rules for the 2003 Pokémon League

1. Each contestant is limited to 1 (one) pokémon at the commencement of the League. However, all contestants are encouraged to catch and train wild pokémon from the forests surrounding the mafiascum.net Pokémon Staduim. League Director
   mole
   will direct you to areas where you can find a specific pokémon. Sadly we are unable to provide any evolved pokémon - contestants must train them from their unevolved forms.

Now correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't this say that you can only catch wild pokémon that are unevolved or that you can only get an unevolved pokémon at the start.

Mole: Please clarify.

-You do not catch pokémon in the card game. You must however play basic pokémon first and then evolve them.
-In Red/Blue/Silver/etc... in fact all of the, I have caught evolved pokémon. Although if you want it to be good, it's best to catch the unevolved one and train it up.
-In the TV series, I believe the second pokémon Ash caught was pidgeotto. (The evolved form of Pidgey.)

Would we be able to identify the Team Rocket members based on the pokemon they have? If not, how would we identify them?

[mlaker]

Well Rockets might have a weird pokemon choice each night. Or the Rockets could only have a few pokemon. Of course we might just have to use intuition!

[Stewie]

I played the game, and have a good idea of what pokemons they use, but will not say right now in the hopes that one of them comes out saying "i have a....."

I don't know if it's just your style, but the last few times I've seen you play as Mafia, you play EXACTLY the same as you're playing now.

[Maverick]

Yeah Stewie I've played, and seen Pokemon 1 to many times as well and I probabely know exactly which pokemon each of them is using ...But I'll kee quiet as well, who knows maybe at least one of them will be ignorant...LoL
