[Skygazer]

just reminded myself of the most obscene role DEB submitted in a upick

can someone give me a tldr on what a pokeyman is

tldr: pokemon is short for pocket monster, and it's a franchise rooted in japan thats whole premise was collecting magical monsters. pokemon are the aforementioned magical monsters. in the game, each pokemon looks different, they have a "shiny" form (which is just for cosmetics, it just looks different), and every pokemon has a type. there are eighteen types, which are kind of just themes. so you'd probably expect a fire-type to be inspired around fire, water-types around water, etc. each type deals different damage to each other. super-effective damage deals double, not very effective deals 0.5x damage, and neutral damage deals 1x damage. because a pokemon can have two types (e.g, alolan sandslash), it can have two resistances that stack (aka types that deal not very effective damage) that now make attacks of that typing deal 0.25 damage, and it can also have two weaknesses that stack so it deals 4x damage instead of 2x.
so in the example of alolan sandslash, it's a dual ice/steel type. the fire-type is super-effective against ice. it is also super-effective against steel. so alolan sandslash has a double weakness to fire.
it also has a double resistance to ice, because ice is resistant towards ice-type attacks, and steel is resistant towards ice-type attacks.
so that's how type matchups work.
in the games, you're some random kid. basically what you do is you pick a pokemon to be your friend, and you beat the literal shit out of wild animals with your pokemon friend. then you beat the shit out of other people's pokemon friends. that's how the games work. they're great.

and basically that's what battles are
every pokemon can have a maximum of four moves at once
and it doesn't start out with all four moves ofc but it learns them
and once you forget a move you can't remember it

Prefer a hydra tho

My hydra policy for this game is something I am mulling over reconsidering.

Currently it is no hydra. I think a no hydra game fills faster than a game w/ multiple hydra (getting 23p game to fill I feel like is a moderate challenge given how the site is at this moment). Any more than 1 hydra and that’s probably too much and I start to see diminishing returns.

If I did reconsider my hydra policy (assuming list mods & playerlist have no problem with this), I would green light allowing u to play w/ one because in ur case it would probably help you keep up with the game, my only request would be to try to find a partner that isn’t currently on the playerlist. I feel like that should be fair?

Edit also no 3 headed hydra or more. When I allow 3+ headed hydra I start seeing diminishing returns

Get kuribo in here!

willing to hydra as well

unfortunately the only person I'm going to allow to look for a hydra is mala. I would rather prioritize accommodating for players that might be busy but again if I allowed more than 1 hydra it would make the game harder to fill.

If you wanted to commit to going solo I could get the game going right now but I'm also okay w/ giving you a chance to ask mala if you could share the slot with them.

[Mewtaph]

Will wait for mala to see what they say

This game is very close to filling.
You may now find the Gamethread w/ information about the games rules and mechanics as well as a battle demonstration.

This in will be accepted in the event Mewtaph and Malakittens hydra together. Otherwise they'll be the first person we contact in the event we need a replacement.

[Invisibility]

yay

I realized that after putting my /in because I was looking at the playerlist and saw that everyone was solo. I *think* I can keep up solo as long as I keep my other games to a minimum which I will do.

I just don't want others thinking I'm getting special treatment, whereas, in my case b/c of the long hours that I work along with my rotating schedule & health issues sometimes I will be in prod-range when I didn't mean to be.

As long as the players who signed up prior to me are ok with me hydraing I will be willing to find someone who isn't in this playerlist because I do think that's more than fair.

If everyones ok with it I'm also willing to hydra with mewtaph as that player signed up after me. I was willing to hydra with another player, but they are already on the list. I also don't want to overload my normal hydra partner.

I'm down with this as long as everyone above is ok.

I have not heard any complains and I already asked anyone who might have a problem w/ hydras if this would be acceptable (which it should be fine).

If you plan on hydraing with Mewtaph I can start the game and work towards sending PMs

[Malakittens]

Yep, i'll plan on hydraing with mewtaph

[Alisae]

Okay I will get the game set up and running!
