MAY CHARM QUEST
HAY GUYS GUESS WHAT???
Each character will wake up this morning to find a Pokéball on their nightstand. Inside is a random starter Pokémon. There's also a bag of six Poké Balls. Next to this is an envelope with instructions, and a map to a brand new Archway that just opened up in Attleton that leads to a world of Pokémon. The instructions read:
Now for some extra OOC rules!
What if I want a certain Pokémon just because it fits so well with my character? You can only obtain non-legendary Pokémon this way, but if you forego the day's six Pokéballs, you can instead choose any one Pokémon currently in existence. You have to do this BEFORE you get the Pokéballs -- no deciding you don't like what you got, and exchanging them all for a Pokémon. Then you can RP how you find this special Pokémon however you like. Maybe it was digging through your trash. TEACH IT A LESSON IT WON'T FORGET. This Pokémon begins at level five, with any gender and nature that you like.
Who gets to go first in a Pokémon battle? The defender, i.e. the person who didn't make the initial challenge. The initial challenger sends out a Pokémon, and the defender chooses which Pokémon they want to use to defend.
Which Pokémon wins a battle? The same rules apply as they do for catching Pokémon. Ordinarily, the highest level wins the fight. However, a Pokémon with moves that are effective against the other Pokémon's type can win a battle if it isn't more than five levels lower than the opponent's Pokémon.
What if both Pokémon have moves that are effective against the other type? The higher level Pokémon wins.
What if both Pokémon have effective moves and they're the same level? ROCKS FALL EVERYONE DIES. Or they both knock each other out.
What if there are more than one Pokemon for one or both of the players? Does the highest level Pokemon keep winning by default? No, that wouldn't make sense, nor would it be fair. The Pokemon's level also determines the Pokemon's energy. A level 20 Pokemon defeating a level 10 Pokemon would have its energy reduced by 10 after fighting. If it had to face a level 12 Pokemon after that, the level 20 Pokemon (now level 22 because it won the first match, putting its energy at 12) and the level 12 Pokemon would be effectively tied, and both would be knocked out unless one had effective moves against the other.
Does a Pokemon stay tired if it has more than one battle? Only if the battles take place one after another. So if King Hippo fought Captain Hammer and won, before Deadpool immediately jumped in to issue a challenge, King Hippo's Pokemon would be at the same energy levels when fighting Captain Hammer. But if Hippo finished one challenge and went to Attleton to fight Frollo's Pokemon, the energy levels would be refreshed.
What about a Pokemon that gets knocked out in battle, does it get its energy refreshed too? No. Once a Pokemon is knocked out, it's done for the day and can't do anything more.
What if we would rather RP a Pokeémon fight? Can we throw out the rules? As long as both players are in agreement about the end results, yes.
Can my character steal other characters's Pokémon? Will they count as points if so? Only if the other character's player is OOCly okay with it. And yes, the points do count! So villains have plenty of incentive to go forth and cause trouble.
Can I disregard the rules if I'd rather RP an encounter? Only if this would result in a disadvantage. For example, King Hippo can get his ass kicked by an enraged level two Weedle despite having higher level Pokémon, but he couldn't have a miracle win with his level five Bulbasaur against a level 100 Arceus.
Can I evolve a Pokémon? Sure, if the requirements are met! Most Pokémon have to be at a certain level before they can evolve. But you can have your character spend money to purchase an evolution stone, or take the Pokémon to a spa if it needs a certain level of happiness. Just be fair about it, and RP it out.
Can I still use these mechanics to catch Pokémon after the event, or can I RP it out? Either one you like! Mechanics are only in effect to make things fair for the quest.
Can I get results in advance if I'm going to be busy? Absolutely! Each week I'll put up a new post, with threads for each day. You can request Pokéballs and see results in advance, as far as the week goes. A sample is posted below in the comments.
Can I trade Pokémon with other characters? Can I release a Pokémon that I don't want? Yes, and yes. Bonus points are given in the case of traded Pokémon, depending on how many are from different players. Swapping the same Pokémon back and forth doesn't result in additional bonus points. Keep in mind, if you release a Pokémon, you also release the points they added to your score.
Any other questions? Fire away!

SURPRISE POKEMON CHARM QUEST!
Each character will wake up this morning to find a Pokéball on their nightstand. Inside is a random starter Pokémon. There's also a bag of six Poké Balls. Next to this is an envelope with instructions, and a map to a brand new Archway that just opened up in Attleton that leads to a world of Pokémon. The instructions read:
Welcome to the world of Pokémon! For this month, you have 31 days to spend with your new companion. It will help you to catch other Pokémon, and aid you on your way to becoming a Pokémon master. The three citizens who catch and raise their new Pokémon the best will be awarded an Attleton charm of their very own. If you don't like your Pokémon, don't worry, they'll vanish after the event is over. And if you took good care of your Pokémon, raising it to five levels or higher than what it started out with, just ask and you'll be allowed to keep it. We're sure you have questions, so here are some tips for your Pokémon catching convenience.
How do I catch a Pokémon? You have to have a Pokémon in order to catch more Pokémon. Your starter begins at level 5. That means if you encounter a Pokémon at level 5 or lower, your starter will win a battle against it, and you can use a Pokéball to try and catch it. If your Pokémon knows a move that's effective against the other Pokémon, you can catch that Pokémon even if it's at a higher level (up to five levels). However, if you make your Pokémon fight another Pokémon that's too strong, it'll knock your Pokémon out for the rest of the day.
How do I get more Pokéballs? Each day, you get six new Pokéballs selected at random. Most of them will be Poké Balls, though you may also get Great Balls or Ultra Balls. If you're lucky, you may even get a Master Ball which can catch any Pokemon, no matter what level it is.
How do I raise my Pokémon's level? Each time your Pokémon wins a battle against another Pokémon or aids in the capture of a Pokémon, all the Pokémon in your party grow by one level, and the Pokémon that won gains two levels. You may also exchange your Pokéballs for special berries that Pokémon love. For each ball exchanged, you can gain one berry, which you can feed to one Pokémon to raise it by one level.
How do I win this event? By accumulating lots of points! Each Pokémon you own is worth a number of points. If the Pokémon is common, it's worth less points than a legendary Pokémon. Then, each Pokémon's points is multiplied by its current level. A Pokémon can't grow any higher than level 100.
How many Pokémon do I have in my party? You can have up to six at any one time. You can't switch out party members with Pokémon who aren't in your party during a battle, however. If you defeat a Pokémon and have an empty spot in your party, it will be with you immediately. Otherwise, it will be content to stay in a Pokéball back in your place of residence.
Can I challenge other Pokémon trainers to a battle? Pokémon love to battle! You can't capture the other trainer's Pokémon if yours wins, but you can still gain levels. Pokémon knocked out in battle can't be used for the rest of the day, however, so be cautious. If your Pokémon party wins against another trainer's, you can win extra points which will be totalled up at the end of the month to determine the winner.
What's a legendary Pokémon? Legendary Pokémon are very rare. There's only one of each, unlike the others! They tend to be fairly high in level, so make sure you train hard just in case you encounter one.
Good luck, intrepid Pokémon trainer!
