So here's a slightly 'meta' game of sorts for you guys.
This thread is like a ROM Hack, but where the Pokémon and so on have powers relevant to a forum situation. For a simple example, Spam could be an ability, where the Pokémon posts a word or such 10 times in a row. Pokémon can be made in this context, possibly using moves that others come up with.
To enter a move, evolution method, Pokémon or Ability, just fill in the appropriate form:
Forumon
Name: Type: Ability: (leave blank if not yet sure) Sample moves: (a few moves they typically use, leave blank if not yet sure) Description: (20 words or more, describe them - their appearance, character, and habits) Based on: (optional, mention if they are based on an animal, etc.) Image: (optional, a sprite for it)
Ability
Name: Effect: Uses in battle: (optional, note some strategies using this type of Ability.)
Areas, towns, and other miscellany
Name: Layout: Description: (20 words or more, what's it like, and what's there?) Location: (is it near any locations we've mentioned?) Image: (optional, a map-like depiction of the place)
Evolution method
Name: Requirement: How it works:
Move
Name: Type: Effect.
To get things going, let's show off a sample evolution method:
Name: Agreement Evolution. Requirement: Evolves after posting 'Agreed' ten times in response to other posts. Their reply cannot be any longer than this one word. How it works: They evolve by harnessing the power of the quote train, one of the fundamental forum elements.
Finally, try to keep it to 2 new things per post, and then wait for two posts from others before doing this again. This might be modified by having Pokémon with Abilities which let you make multiple posts in a row, and hence add more Pokémon or whatever. Forum rules concerning double-posts will not be strictly enforced in this thread/ROM.
New towns, evolution methods, and miscellany like say evil teams, are limited to one until five more posts have occurred. This might change as we go on.

Also, since we mentioned an Ability, we might as well add that as well:
Name: Spam. Effect: Posts five times in a row. Picks a battle with any trainer who disturbs this. Uses in battle: Could be 'glitchy,' but I'll let you figure that out yourselves.

Uses in battle: Could be complicated if you were forced to use this Forumon in battle, otherwise might also have useful effects. By Luminesce.
Name: Popular. Effect: If the Forumon uses an attack three times in a row or more, its damage goes up by half of its base damage (rounded up.) (Hence, a move doing 3 damage would start to attack with 5 damage.) Uses in battle: Sweeping, or useful for early creatures with fewer moves. By Luminesce.

You might get a special weather-based Forumon! Location: None yet. By Crabhammer.
Routes:
Name: Route 1. Layout: A long winding path, which takes a sharp left turn because of some bushes and then has to wind around a few trees. Tall grass is round the outside. The player has often seen it on their way around. Description: The first route! Not that difficult to cross, but many trainerss prefer to catch some Forumon here. They can be dangerous! Location: It's near the starter town. By GoldPiplup.
NPCs:
Name: Prof. Quercus. Fav. Forumon: Shiply. Description: The old professor, studies Forumon eccentrically in this town. Gives the player their Forumon. Can usually be found in the lab.

Sure. Heya! Welcome, GoldPiplup.
The evil organisation is acceptable, and we could have more still.
Now we just need some towns for a League, and we're off.
Anyway, here's one:
Name: Spamnown. Type: Psychic. Ability: Hyper-Spam. Sample moves: Description: A mysterious Forumon, each is shaped like the letters of a spam post. Together, they may spell out words or give dire warnings. They are said to have mysterious powers. Based on: Spam posts.
Here's its Ability:
Name: Hyper-Spam. Effect: Each word must be given a post of its own, and repeated five times. For instance, if you wanted to say, 'Hi so I'm a ghost,' you would have to first post 'Hi' five times in a row, then 'so' five times, etc. You would have to wait for another user's post between each series of 5 posts before you move on to the next word. Uses in battle: Could be complicated if you were forced to use this Pokémon in battle, otherwise might also have useful effects.
I'll note that this Ability is quite specific, and so can't be added to other Pokémon for the moment (except for legendaries and odd-balls.) I'll do this for other Abilities which are similarly out-of-the way.
Quite like the Grass Attack Ability. Could be worth letting the Pokémon know the 'Current Smash' move, then, if members want to risk it for the possibility of a powered-up Grass-type move? Still, could lead to interesting set-ups for the leafy cat Pokémon.

Alright, so these are all up! Next three posters can determine the starters.
So for battles, each player in a battle here can only post in this thread when allowed to do so by the battle. So, for instance, Spam would mean they would post more, if they had a Pokémon with that Ability in the battle. Otherwise, they would have to wait their turn, and only be able to post more if moves allowed them.
Each side has a certain post target, at which point the opponent faints. Attacks will subtract a certain number of posts, so they will have to reach that again.
Everyone can play the main quest, but we also have multi-player functionality! This allows you to take on others, when returning to cities or at Routes which allow for this.
NPC trainers can also be detailed, if you want. Use:
Name: Pokémon: Intro. Dialogue: Title or trainer class: Fav. Pokémon: Fav. of their own Pokémon:
Levels will be adjusted to the location. If it's a Gym Leader, etc., you can post for them if you want, when trainers take them on, but I'll probably do this for most of the others.

Post by v)Luminesce(v on Nov 11, 2016 21:54:33 GMT
That should be alright. So, looks like we have a high-level Ground-type attack. I'll let others fill in the other starters, for now here's some other stuff.
Here's a move you can use with Flufferth, if you want:
Name: Entangle. Type: Grass. Effect: Opponent is wrapped in vines. You quote each sentence in their post, and reply angrily. Chance of inflicting Paralysis, which occurs if another poster agrees with you before the opponent posts.
And let's give Unown a move too:
Name: Hidden Power. Type: Varies. Psychic by default. Effect: Names something relating to its type. Does more damage if this responds to the last post.
We can determine how the type varies with an out-of-battle move. I'll do that eventually, but Unown won't show up near Cantile Town.
We do have 'PM's, which are like TMs - moves you can transmit to your Pokémon that they can then use. These might have out-of-battle effects.

Alright, then!
Your starter choices are Ottfer, Mudkrok and Stragon.
You load up the ROM. You should go to the lab in Cantile Town, but you could also visit your rival for some banter before you two receive your Pokémon.
---
So here's a few NPCs. Firstly, the Prof.:
Name: Prof. Quercus. Fav. Pokémon: Shiply. Description: The old professor, studies Pokémon eccentrically in this town. Gives the player their Pokémon. Can usually be found in the lab. Dialogue: Greetings, PLAYER! So why are you here? Oh, you want a Pokémon? I thought it was only RIVAL here! Oh well, I have three of them, choose one first.
Your Rival:
Name: RIVAL. [You name them.] Forumon: ... Intro. Dialogue: [First battle] I feel bad for picking on you, but... [Second battle] We meet again! Have you trained? I've trained better. Let me show you. [Third battle] The Gym Leader here is a bit eccentric! You might like them! But you won't like this... Title or trainer class: RIVAL. Fav. Forumon: Stragon. Fav. of their own Forumon: ...
I'll fight on their behalf for now.
