I did miss that, I have no time to do up a post this morning, i have to leave for work in 5, so I will do it after work.

I thought Rowan was with us too. I'll wait for Thrin to advice.

Thrincold: I honestly have no plans right now and have a saved post about going back to the dining hall, however if you have a goal or place you want to go, Henry will probably oblige. I think we are standing at the edge of the woods right now.

Another question

How have the area gyms changed in the past few generations? All the old gym families in the same places or have some new gyms replaced older gyms or more than 8 gyms now exist? Any new towns pop up or old towns become abandoned? Basically how has johto changed in the years since the time the games were set in?

Up to you, I am almost out of planned events for day 1, Sara is triggering the last big one.

Pokemon are always findable, or you can head for dinner. your choice.

Honestly... I havn't planned everything out yet, and would prefer to deal with that as it comes up. I have enough NPC's at the moment and want to worry about making 8-16 more NPC's just for gym leaders players may NEVER encounter.

That is a good idea. But I think Sandman was just looking for general knowledge. Gym Leaders tend to get a lot of media attention. Towns are talked about. So their name and reputation, not an entire build, is more in line for flavor purposes.

Then again, in the cartoon and story of the games, most of the details come into focus just before you actually meet the Gym Leader in question or go to XXX City.

I am open to suggestions, I having been focused heavily on the school as that is where the main story takes place. As of now, I have no major plans to visit to many cities, and certainly not anytime in the near future, so if players want to submit some ideas, I am open.

[Doleth]

Very sorry about being absent all weekend, work+moving out soon+national holiday have kept me way busier than I expected.

No worries, hope things get better.

[Hound]

I have to do a 36 hour duty starting tomorrow at 6 am, so I am headed to bed now.

Hopefully Doleth, Thrincold, and Bubblepop show up and post so I can maybe end their day soon.

If their days don't end by...Friday, then I will move the other three along, and have the others on a "slanted" time scale. I would hate for the fast posters to get slowed down and ruin their fun.

[ZamuelNow]

Is there still room to join this? Tried to read through the thread to get an idea of the setup and structure though I haven't read the in-character thread yet. I'll need to get stuff plotted out for the character though I do have a rough idea of what I want. The last time I played was Gen II but I have heard about varying developments about differing rules and Pokemon changes. A few rule questions:

• How will 1 hit KO moves be handled? In early games they were all or nothing but I don't know how later games handle them. I would assume for the forum game they would be low accuracy, high damage, high crit.
• Will demographics be important? Since the first few games' regions are based on Japan, trying to find out if non-Japanese characters would have to be from Unova or will all that be handwaved. Might make my character from there anyways but I'm curious.
• What happens if different players represent different moves different ways?
• How are TMs/HMs handled? Allowed, banned, or allowed but only in story appropriate training times?

I do like the fact that this setting will allow some Pokemon to shine that usually wouldn't. Should make things...interesting.

[Hound]

I had a really long and hard day, I will post tomorrow in the IC and about the questions asked here.

[Hound]

Little worried I havn't heard from Thrin or Bubblepop in a while, but I won't count them out.

I will post the teacher arriving soon.

[Sakuro]

Thrin had a few, I think they were job related, issues arise recently. I'm not sure if his lack of posting has anything to do with that, but it might,
