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

[Morzone]

@Bulbasaur I mean, compared to other beginner RP'ers I've seen, you're doing pretty good.

It may be a good idea to read through other people's posts carefully for details of the area you're heading into with your characters.

For instance, in Shruikan's first RP post, their character got a message detailing destruction sited at the wormhole by Erana, implying people were already nearby or at the wormhole itself.

In my post, I revealed that one of the Team Claw branches had released a rampaging mamoswine to forcibly keep people away from the wormhole (something I based from the "large pokemon uprooting trees" that Shruikan heard about) while a poaching team captured rotoms that were reportedly coming through it.

In your latest post you implied your characters had made it there before anyone else and successfully captured an unknown (but clearly not rotom in nature based on its description coming through the wormhole) pokemon successfully. To be fair, it's not like that situation is implausible. You could, after all, have actually gotten there before anyone else and captured a pokemon even before Claw released the mamoswine. In which case there wouldn't be any conflict as to the true situation. But because the post came after other people's posts detailing the situation, it creates some confusion as to what's actually going on. Plus, your last post stated your character was in Trinox, which is in a whole different country, making getting to the wormhole in Erana first rather difficult, especially as there is no portal travel in Aluna and other organizations (which may have been stationed closer like Claw's West Branch) probably heard the news of the wormhole roughly the same time it would have gotten to you.

I probably shouldn't critique you though and leave that to Shruikan, as they are the judge after all. You're always welcome to shoot me a PM or VM if you have any questions though!

Thanks for the tips! No worries. :] I wasn't sure how far the locations were. So I wasn't really sure how to describe the trip.

I thought multiple Pokemon could appear from rifts? Was I incorrect?

[K'sariya]

Totally no rush, just letting people know that I'll probably wait til @Shruikan makes another reply to clarify what exactly has happened before replying again. Not sure what idea they had for how this big creature situation unfolds, so just going to let them decide what happens. (:

Also, question--what's the easiest way for you for us to gradually obtain Pokemon? I'd love some grass or poison types slowly trickle into Camellia's partnership (at a reasonable, spaced-out pace, in reasonable situations, etc. I love my Venu and don't urgently need to expand the team or be OP), but I didn't know if you wanted us to let you know what we want and then you decide when to give them to us, or something else. Whatever is easiest for you and what you have in mind!

Echoing this. Until either Shurikan or Vello reply, or someone directly interacts with me, I probably won't reply just so the situation can be a bit more established.

And yeah I'm curious about this too. Angel and Brent probably won't get anymore team members anytime soon given they already have two pokémon, but in case the situation arises.

Is anyone not doing something related to the erana wormhole right now? Given my character's positions, especially Leo who got left behind on his own, I was hoping to start something in some other place.

Also @Shruikan Howis scoring going to work for week 4? I know it was mostly Character admissions apart from the last day or so, so are the scores going to be combined with week 5 or...?

[Shruikan]

No, you are correct. Any pokemon near where the rift opens on the pokemon's side could come through, though most of the time all the pokemon come through just as the rift first appears, since they tend to be wary around magic portals into another world. But as long as the rift is open, any number of pokemon can continue to emerge.

As long as you can reasonably make it work, you can add new pokemon to your team whenever you like. I mean, if there's a specific one you want you can menton it and I can try and work it into the story somehow, but if you can come up with a valid explination yourself then you can get new pokemon whenever you want. Or at least at a reasonable speed: a new one every post would be a bit exessive. :P

I'm not sure about that myself yet. It's either going to be joined scored with week 5, or have week 4 include monday as well, so there's at least one post from almost everyone. I'm leaning more towards merging the week 4&5 at the moment. I'm also not sure if either are allowed or not, so I might have to ask the higer ups first...

Also, sorry for the delay everyone, I'll try and get a RP post up first thing tomorrow.

Thanks for the answer, and no rush on posting! Let's just say I won't complain if some sort of ungainly flying tropical banana giraffe came stumbling out of the portal somewhere down the line, LMFAO

Reprimand me if this has already been answered, but has some sort of containing tech (similar to the Pokeball) been invented yet? Might delay my choices if there hasn't been, haha.

Thirded. I’m waiting on Shruikan to establish what’s actually happened.

[Morzone]

@K'sariya LK asked about pokeballs early on. Shruikan's answer can be found in their response post on page 1.

I feel kind of awkward about my characters. my ability to do things/interact is other people connected to my characters. Zeke is just watching his poaching team and Leo isn't near anyone, but his partner gardivor can teleport enough that they can end up nearby.
