Title: [Pending] Life as a pokemon
Post by: helper08 on July 01, 2012, 06:57:21 PM
      You are a pokemon or human in a strange region, in a world different to the regular pokemon world, the other pokemon (who aren't you) are all crazed and mad with anger, for at the moment , no apparrent reason. In this different world, instead of having multiple different regions like the regular pokemon world, (which it used to be) all the regions have combined and created a 'super region' allowing all the pokemon to live in the same place.
      If you are a pokemon, that has not been caught you are special and has a larger variation of moves that you can learn making pokemon like Unfezant have the ability to learn sky drop unlike the normal pokemon, this is due to the fact that you, living in this 'super region' have evolved and changed because you have adapted to the change and learned much more, each of the different pokemon from the different regions each taught each other different moves, like Chandelure teaching Rapidash flame burst. You are also special because unlike most pokemon in this world, who are mad with anger, you are calm and can think strategies and work together, complimenting each others own skills.
      You have always lived knowing that you should stay away from humans since they hate you and they're jealous, as they do not have the ability to use attacks and have the the ability to move like pokemon or capability to fly like a bird. Which leads them to want to become superior to you. Now, the humans have found their answer on how to become more superior, somehow they have found a way to catch pokemon, through pokeballs as they call it, created by silph co. Now the humans are enslaving them and forcing them to betray their own race and attack the other pokemon to help the humans capture even more pokemon. Although strangely they have been unable to capture you or anyone special like you, the pokeballs, which are in the most basic form, are designed by mostly how smart the pokemon is, as they don't have anything to weaken the pokemon first, which is why they can't catch you, but they continue to try and soon they will upgrade they're pokeballs so they can catch you. In a way, you could think this is another team like team rocket or plasma, but it's worse than that, once they have caught all the pokemon, they will take over this world with their new found 'toys.' Their final plan, after they take over the world is to destroy all of the pokemon. So now you pick, are you an evil human, are you a pokemon, or are you a caught pokemon?

      In a dream, you all see this,
      "Professor, the pokeball has been finished." A man in a lab coat says, he places a briefcase on the table in front of the professor, "this pokeball is our strongest yet, it took almost all of our resources to create it, I'm afraid it might be quite a while before we can create another."
      "Don't worry, I'll only need one, soon the strongest pokemon will be mine, then it'll only be a matter of time before each of their pawns fall, one-by-one, until we have captured them all, then they will all be destroyed." The professor says this while snapping the pencil he had in his hand, then he places the two halves of the pencil on the edge of the table, and opens the briefcase. Inside is a strange purple pokeball, with lighter purple circles on the parts above and to the left and above to the right of the middle button, and above the middle button is a strangely menacing, 'M.' The professor slides the briefcase over and it knocks the pencil halves off the table. As though it were a movie, your eyes follow the pencil halves and in slow motion clatter on the ground and then the dream ends.

good but when I meant moves that most can't learn I meant like moves they can't learn by leveling, like sky drop for an unfezant (although of course you can't have unfeazant now)
other than that it's good, let's just hope the moderators like it

better

I really think it's bland... so unless things get changed, this will remain into Pending status.

Bland as in there's one 'bad side' and one 'good side' and that's it.

Pokemon players have moves that similar Pokemon can't learn... what?

A parallel dimension to the Pokemon world... what's even different?

"Humans have found some way to catch Pokemon" sorry, that is already the case.

"Trying to rule over the world with their Pokemon" Team Rocket/Galactik/Magma/Aqua/Plasma anyone?

In this dimension it has never happened before

"Trying to rule over the world with their Pokemon" Team Rocket/Galactik/Magma/Aqua/Plasma anyone?

When I say that I mean they want to rid the world of pokemon and galactic, magma aqua and plasma didn't want to rule the world

You are just about to go to bed in a Pokemon Center and put your Pokemon back in its Pokeball. After you wake up your body is curled up and through some sort of red-rimmed filter you see your Krokorok out of it's Pokeball. That's strange to you, as you don't remember releasing it... Then it dawns on you. YOU'RE inside the Pokeball, and your KROKOROK is your trainer. You notice it has a smile on it's face. It takes the bag your mom gave you off the bed and puts it on. It then picks you and the Pokeball up. You struggle for freedom but your Krokorok's tight grip keeps you from escaping. You are then sealed inside the bag without any room to breathe. You notice there are also some other Pokeballs in the bag... and inside, are your beloved Samurott and Zoroark. You see the sadness in their eyes as you release how cruel you've been. Your ball starts to shake. Then there is a blinding light and the filter is no longer there. Your body is outstretched and you come face-to-face with an Amoonguss. You look down at your hand and you see a paw. The paw of a Liepard.

Ixmate102, that's completely off topic.

Back on topic,
- So, you can have a Caterpie learning Quiver Dance, Bug Buzz, Mega Horn and Earthquake? That's what I was getting to on my first question.
- If such things never happened in this dimension, then there is no need to mention that it is another dimension. Simply state the facts, the setting of the world you're dealing with. Something like, "In this world, human and Pokemon have not been co-habitating and live their lives separately." You just elaborate more on that, because that is a single sentence summary. You have to answer why, where, when, what, who, how when you mention something in as much depth as possible.

Why they want to rid the world of Pokemon?
Who exactly decided that?
When did they do that?
How are they doing that?
And I won't say that 'ruling the world with Pokemon' = 'getting rid of Pokemon'...

And what you you mean by "galactic, magma aqua and plasma didn't want to rule the world". They did! They used powerful Pokemon to make the world the way THEY wanted it to be, even if that meant they had to go against OTHER people/Pokemon and bringing them to the ground.

Bug Buzz would make sense, but none of the others, even if it did learn those that would have evolved before it could, just moves that make sense but isn't OP.

And I won't say that 'ruling the world with Pokemon' = 'getting rid of Pokemon'...
oops, that was supposed to be ruling the world without pokemon

And what you you mean by "galactic, magma aqua and plasma didn't want to rule the world". They did! They used powerful Pokemon to make the world the way THEY wanted it to be, even if that meant they had to go against OTHER people/Pokemon and bringing them to the ground.

Exactly, they wanted to change it not rule, Galactic wanted to destroy and create a new world, magma and aqua wanted to either get rid of the sea or land, and expand the sea or land. Plasma wanted to make it so that pokemon couldn't be held captive by trainers. None of these have anything to do with ruling the world

So another words its like before Pokeballs where even invented? O.o

In this world the humans hadn't found the way to create pokeballs until then, this isn't in the same world, if that's what your asking

Bug Buzz would make sense, but none of the others, even if it did learn those that would have evolved before it could, just moves that make sense but isn't OP.

If you want them to make sense, then none of those make sense. Larvae do not buzz around, nor create tremors, nor can charge with enough speed and power to use Mega Horn.

So you mean to say you would want a house build just to gaze and dream about it after making it? That's what you're telling me when you said they only changed it and not ruling it, despite all their immoral efforts to do so. All of them wanted to rule the world once it fitted their ideals, regardless of what they did to reach it.

However way you put it, they are imposing their belief onto people and took actions against any person getting in their way. If that is not a way to demonstrate power and impose their laws, then what is it if not ruling?



Also, double posting is something that warrants a warning. Avoid doing so please. This board is a sub-forum of the whole forum and the forum rules apply here as well.

If a spider (galvantula) a caterpie could, like maybe it could wave it's tail or something

they didn't build a house, they changed one, plasma want's to liberate pokemon because he thinks that people don't treat them well, if it was a house, they would have taken away the pets, but they wouldn't have ruled that house after taking away the pets. Galactic would have torn down the house then rebuild it even better so that new people would live in it,

Larva != Spider

they didn't build a house, they changed one, plasma want's to liberate pokemon because he thinks that people don't treat them well, if it was a house, they would have taken away the pets, but they wouldn't have ruled that house after taking away the pets. Galactic would have torn down the house then rebuild it even better so that new people would live in it,

Their building a house represents their effort to reach their goal. Changing houses involves as much effort. If they changed houses, that means they now live in that house and have control of that house (ruling). That has nothing to do with what you're saying.

But you still want to say this? Fine! So, that one is like the government imposing laws about keeping pets; banning it even. So you're telling me the government is not the ruler of a country?

Team Galactic would go through all this, and the new people would be subject to their laws, hence ruling that house however way you put it. If they still don't like it, crash bam and they redo it.

Team Rocket still wanted to rule the world.

I think the focus has shifted a little too much.

It's not my place to adjudicate the current argument, and considering I have no idea what half of the things you refer to are, I am glad for that.

However.

As a writer, I feel obligated to help Jerry here get his point across...

The foundation (story) of this possible RP thread is full of holes and cracks. You can't build on such shaky ground...

So you need to do a few things.. The first thing would be to go back to the story and elaborate. Right now the story is about as detailed as a blank canvas, which is not such a bad thing, it means you can create MORE to fill the space. Take what you've already written, and add more to it. Details and explanations.. Make vague comments actually understandable by explaining your view and idea.

Then you need to organize what you write. Use paragraphs, make things that you want to be understood more legible. If you just toss a bunch of words together, even if the ideas are great, you'll get little out of it...

Next thing is to use what information, opinions and arguments that have been presented to strengthen your story. Jerry is telling you to make things more reasonable because your statements and outlines were extremely vague and undefined.

If people are going to RP in this world, they need to know their world has limits, rules, boundaries and then they know where they can function and how. You can't just give people nothing to go on, then later turn around and tell them they were wrong when they did something you didn't explain wasn't allowed.


To be a good GM for an RP, you have to know your RP world very well, areas, weather, interactions, environment, etc...

At the moment you're showing Jerry (and the others) that you DON'T in fact know very much about the world you wish people to RP in... Which is probably why it hasn't been approved.

I just wanted to try to help, so don't think I'm mean or anything... I just know stories, and a lot about RP, and figured my opinion and explanation might help.

I'm hoping I fixed a lot of that, the environment I hoped to be explained when I actually start the rp, and I suddenly had this 'great' idea to make a strange scene about the birth of the masterball in that world and making it seem like a movie, (IDK whether it's a good idea though)

Through strong vibrations of its abdomen.


Thanks pubbles :)


Proofread your backstory again, there are lots of mistakes.

Quote
this is due to the fact that the pokemon in this 'super region' have evolved and changed because you have adapted to the change and learned much more.

Quote
as they do not have the ability to use attacks and have the athletic ability and capability to fly

Those two are very much contradictory and neither make much sense.


The idea of capturing Pokemon to then kill them all makes even less sense.
Title: Re: [Pending] Life as a pokemon
Post by: helper08 on July 08, 2012, 08:22:43 PM
and that's a lot....
anyways I fixed those things, but I don't see why the last one doesn't make since so I didn't change it
