Your starter pokemon

[MarioManiac4]

in that case, Chikorita and I attend fighting/training lessons and battle similarly shit-tier Pokemon in order to become stronger.

[Annadog40]

You get them as eggs. First lessons are on egg care. Then when they hatch, you'll already have a strong bond.

Could train with the other trainers.

[MarioManiac4]

well at least my chikorita likes me.

Hey guys who has a pokemon with no fire-type moves and wants to battle :3

[Annadog40]

How I would use mine depends on what I end up with.

I have this squirtle that I tricked majiffy into giving me.

[Annadog40]

I thought I'd simulate that battle based on Smogen recommended moves.

[MarioManiac4]

(uhhhhhhhhh why does my lv 1 chikorita have giga drain)

[Annadog40]

It can be tutored in gen five. Though that would be unlikely here.

[MarioManiac4]

i have set up my lv 1 chikorita on smogon w/moves Tackle and Growl my username is Tranquillium if that's a thing i could like battle someone

rigged.

[MarioManiac4]

according to bulbapedia the formula is
EXP= (t*b*e*l*p*f*v)/(7*s)
t is 1 since annadog originally owned the Popplio
b is the fainted pokemon's base experience yield; for popplio that number is 64
e is 1 since annadog was not holding a lucky egg (was holding evolite)
L is 1 because popplio was level 1
p is 1 because uhhhh no power was involved
f is 1 since we do not start with any affection
v is 1 since chikorita is not yet past its evo level

so first bracket is 64

s is 1 since this pokemon participated in battle

so 64/7 for exp which is 9.14 (there are lots of digits after that but w/e) which rounds to 9 so chikorita got 9 exp points

chikorita's growth rate is Medium Slow, so they need 9 exp to progress from level 1 to level 2

therefore, I now have a level 2 chikorita

I'll grind my Squirtle with your Chikorita then we can beat up Shea

[Annadog40]

Though I'm the last to get any pokemon so what I end up with could be completely different.

Some great work on getting the levels stats

I'm sorry, your squirtle is quite happy here with us at team rocket. We will train it for you, don't worry about it.

It doesn't even remember you anymore.

[Majiffy]

Give Shea a Turtwig

[Annadog40]

Is Turtwig gonna be the Bir Tawil of your conflict?

[Majiffy]

No our mutual lack of sex lives is our Bir Tawil

*throw masterball at Miltank*

[Annadog40]

Maybe you could come from a family of farmers as your backstory.

[vonflare]

can i evolve my eevee

[Annadog40]

Yah.

Peeps can evolve their starters, have different goals, have home towns/regions and more.

I will be from Gateon Port in the Orre region. I staked out a location for me to live.

Oh and everyone's ages will be reset to 9 years old so they can attend Trainer School.

Anyone else have any goals/starting region?

[vonflare]

can I be a gym leader pls

[Annadog40]

You can work towards that goal.

[Creature]

What do I do with a starter?

[Annadog40]

train it, love it, hate it, play with it, use it to catch more pokemon, learn with it, grow with it, etc.
