A note to all players who chose a Rock or Steel type pokemon to start:
Since most everyone has Tackle, Scratch, or Pound as their only attacking move, you are going to have to downplay the resistance. Your are not that strong versus normal attacks.
Hey, A quick note, If you use an unlearned move a lot, you are more likely to learn it, but it has to be something that makes sense. (as in no unleaned Hyper Beams this early in the game)
I'm going to add a quick rule to the game. When traveling between cities or places, you must post in the route thread and you must roll a 20 sided dice there. The dice result will determine what happens to you there (Trainer, Wild Pokemon, Found Item, or nothing). The numbers will be different for each route.

Also, I am going to be looking for a second WPL to lead the game with me. If any of you are interested please send me a PM (even if you already did so) and I will be deciding soon.
So guys. I have been reallly busy lately and on top of that my internet got all messed up and isnt working from home. I am hoping it will be fixed around Monday but I probably wont be able to update until then, hopefully. So sorry. Thanks for your patience. This seems to be a bad time for everyone.
You guys Rock! Sorry for taking forever. This is a hectic time for me as I'm sure it is for many others. Will update now. Thank you for your patience.
A reminder if you want to be a WPL and have not PMed me since before the last announcement don't forget. There are people who PMed me before and not this time, so I wanted to check. Also, feel free to explain to me why you should be a WPL. But a quick note, it is three times as time consuming as you would think, so make sure you have the time before you commit.
Throughout the day today, I'm going to make new threads, and get ready to reboot the Pokemon World. Hopefully we will be able to start either late tonight or tomorrow. Thanks goes out to everyone who contributed their ideas and concerns to help make this game great again :-).
Notes on traveling in routes and other areas where there are wild Pokemon:
When you enter a Route for the first time, it will usually take 3 rolls of the dice to reach the end.
While you are traveling on a route you have two choices: Traveling on the intended path, traveling off the path, or wandering in the wilderness.
Traveling on the path allows you a higher chance of running into trainers, and a moderate chance of finding wild Pokemon
Traveling off the path lowers the chance you will find trainers, and increases the chance for finding rare wild Pokemon. Doing this adds a roll to your travel time however.
Wandering around is essentially the same as traveling off the path, except that you make no progress down the route. This is for when you want to spend more time exploring.
When you enter a route you've traveled in before, you will only have to roll the dice once. If you want to stay longer, you can, just RP as necessary.
Here is some clarification on unlearned moves, and how to learn moves.
Anytime during a battle or while you are training, you may attempt to use an "unlearned move". This is basically any move the your Pokemon does not know.
You will know if an unlearned move is available to a Pokemon if:
It can be learned in the games by level up or egg move. (Use Serebii or Bulbapedia as a quick resource)
You can imagine the Pokemon physically doing the attack.
You are trying to teach the Pokemon a move of your own creation.
For example, a novice Bulbasaur could attempt
An unlearned Vine Whip, because it can learn it in the games, by level up or egg move.
An unlearned Poison Fang, because it is a Poison Pokemon, and I can imagine a Bulbasaur physically doing that attack. Even though the move is unavailable to Bulbasaur in the game.
An unlearned move the trainer created where the Bulbasaur covers itself in poison spores from the bulb on it's back, and rams itself into the opponent. Effectively combining Poison Powder and Tackle.
A novice Bulbasaur cannot attempt:
An unlearned Solar Beam, Hyper Beam, or other extremely powerful moves. If a weaker Pokemon attempts unlearned powerful moves, there is a very high probability that it is unsuccessful, or that the Pokemon may faint on the spot. If pushed far enough, it could even lead to death.
An unlearned Water Gun, Flamethrower, Volt Tackle, etc. The Bulbasaur will be unable to learn special elemental moves outside of it's typeset. However, if they learn a TM that is outside of their typeset, it is possible to create custom moves that circumvent this rule.
An unlearned Karate Chop, Dynamicpunch, Horn Attack, etc. If the Pokemon does not have the physical anatomy to preform a move, they can't learn it. Bulbasaur can't learn Horn Attack...because it doesn't have horns.
However, unlearned moves have significant draw backs:
Unlearned moves take up more energy to use, then normal attacks.
If you use too many unlearned moves in a row, or in the same battle, it is very possible your Pokemon could faint from exhaustion.
If your Pokemon faints from exhaustion too many times, death is a possibility.
After your Pokemon preforms an unlearned move enough times. They will learn it, and be able to preform it without drawbacks.
Any questions, please ask in the F.A.Q thread. Any comments or concerns can be put in the discussion thread.
