[PXFIRE] [SU/DS] PXFIRE II Roleplay: Convergence

[Shruikan]

Question: are we limited to one character per person, or can we have multiple?

Edit: (this is after LK's post, I just didn't want to add another post for a single question) If Mega evolution is allowed, are Z-moves as well? Would mega stones/Z-crystals appear randomly through the rifts, or would they be carried by pokemon as they came through?

Nope, you can have as many characters as you want :)

As for your second question, I'd say that Z crystals & Mega stone would be carried through the rifts by the pokemon themselves. Z-moves would work the same as Mega evolution, with the same restrictions I mention below, ie. a close bond and a man-made mega bracelet/z-ring gauntlet, and once it's been used both parties are physically exhausted.

Four questions:
One, do we begin with only the starter, or can there be other Pokémon on the team? If the former, can new partners be added as the RP progresses?
Two, is there a hard four-move limit, a larger limit, or is any move the Pokémon can learn fair play?
Three, do Pokeballs exist yet in this setting? Do healing berries and technology like those found in Pokémon Centers exist? Can Evolution Itens be bought or found, or stat boosting items?
And four, in the previous question’s vein, are we doing Mega Evolution here, and if so, what limits would it have, and how would it be triggered?

1: I'd say you start with just the one "main" pokemon, maybe two at most. New ones can definitely be added to your team as the story goes along though.

2: No limit on the number of moves, anything that can be learned is fair game.

3: I'd say no to the pokeballs & pokemon center healing so far. The man-made healing like Potions & stat boosters would exist in this world, probably as standard issue form the government. For Berries a few plants would have come through the rift, so while not exactly common, the plants would exist here, though mainly for study.
Most evolution items would have come through the rifts too, so they'd be hard to find, but not out of the question.

4: Mega evolution would work like the games, where you need a close bond and the mega/key stones. In this case the stones would have been held by the pokemon when it came through the rift, and the keystone & bracelet would be man-made, probably standard issue. It would also be immensely tiring for both parties, so they could only keep it up for a few minutes at most, and would be exhausted afterward, so it would be a more last resort thing. And you'd need an extremely close bond for it to work, so you'd need to have been on a great many missions together beforehand.

Another question! How "sapient" are Pokemon? Does intelligence vary between species, or are they all sapient? If so, can they communicate with humans; if yes, how?

I'd say they're all equally sapient, at about the same level as Pikachu in the anime. They can kind of communicate with humans, but only with actions; Psychic pokemon and ones with auras like Lucario would be able to send thoughts with telepathy, but it would be more feelings than actual words, and otherwise it's more a game of charades to get across the point.

I might give this a shot, since no one from Agents plans to RP. :D

Awesome! Hope you do. :3
