I read the previous entry regarding the types that are and are not allowed. I'm a little fuzzy on the later Pokémon critters, is there a list I can consult? I'd love to play a Pokémon that's more recent, but I'm afraid of using one that's overpowered and unallowed.

So long as you don't pick one of the restricted Legendaries that's posted in the rules page, everything else is acceptable.

As for a list for all Pokemon, try one of these two sites:

http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w.....y:Pok%C3%A9mon

http://serebii.net/pokedex-dp/

is the garb that the teachers use also usable for a student?

The Master Ball uniforms are exclusive to staff members, I'm afraid.

hm. editing may be needed

plz tell me if this uniform is acceptable.
i put some tweaks, but i need to be sure, before all arceus breaks out

Hmm, close. For good reference of student's uniforms check out  ebonyleopard's gallery for his recent uploads. THe important part of the uniform is the jacket, the sorta one piece outfit (because it's actually like a pressure suit), the poketech watch, and the little things around the ankles which are actually gravity generators.

ahh! kthx editing

Apologies if this was answered earlier, but I was just wanting to make sure... if we had characters in the PCA, would we be able to bring them into the PSR as well?

Yes. This more or less, all takes place in the same 'world' as the PCA.

Umm...Im new to this who thing. My only question is is an picture required with the character ap?

Nope, pictures are totally optional.

Ok then, Ill get together a character, fiddle with the sheet, and get back to ya

I cant seem to tell if the uniforms are one peice or two..and do they have to be form fitting?
(I didnt see this addressed in the rules. If I missed it Im sorry)

I'll make a uniform guide today

Hmm...is there some restrictions on the legendaries going to be used in the PSR?

(Restricted Legendaries)
1). Mewtwo. (In the PSR these are Limited to 3 that were established with the PCA (Felix Felinduce, Kuron, and Elizabeth)
2) Palkia
3) Deoxys
4)Dialga
5)Darkari
6)Cresselia
7)Arceus

So the rest were A-ok then if according to rules.

YUp, if it's not on the list, it's ok.

Just a thought noone else had brought up just yet: how long are the students going to stay in the earth camp, and how long are they expected to stay in the space station? I'm thinking about bringing one of my PCA characters but if he ends up stuck up there...

Ok. In theory, it's like an 8 week long camp. If it were in real time that is. With like 2 to 3 weeks on the station towards the end. Of course, pca and all being stuck in a simpson like time frame, how long exactly in RL time can't be said. During the LAG TIME periods there will be opportunities for kids to escape the RP of the camp. You could also just continue with your PCA stories and while duing so eluding to the fact the kid had a wild summer camp experience.

This brings forward another thing, possible paradoxes when the timelines overlap. Let's put it in time line form.
Let's say I send Adeline to PSR for the summer.
Adeline does her thing and so on and so forth.
The PCA's school year starts and I bring her back to that completely unscathed.
And let's say the guise of simpson's time allows PSR to continue in it's adventures with Adeline still there.
Adeline existing twice is totally ok, but what if something happens to Adeline before this is all over?
Let's say She breaks a wing. Like outright busts it to the point of heavy medical attention and will not be healed by the end of the camp.
Now Adeline has a broken wing that she has to return to a timeline in which the wing was never broken.
And I think that about covers my paradox thing.

You would have to figure out how to explain that for your personal character. We do not intend to tell people how to conduct the actions of their students. Best thing would be to perhaps use a character that you have that you do not plan to really do a whole lot of stuff with in the PCA setting. A main character you use for pca would indeed have that sort of paradox you'd have to figure out how to solve, a very infrequently used character probably would not since you probably don't use them much in pca stuff at all.

WOW! i read the rules journal. You really out did your self making this. My favorite part of that journal was the explanation about hybrids and lagtime.


But i do have a question. Your journals says,"If you want to have some sort of physical attributes or something (Fangs, physical stance, in some cases coloration) ok." would my cyndaquil/ sneasel character be accepted?

http://www.furaffinity.net/view/2242941

He's mostly all cydnaquil when i comes to fighting and even personality.

The ear/tail fluff is kind of pushing it, but the little dot in the forehead would be fine. Claws are probably ok as well, since Cyndaquil CAN learn claw moves (Crush Claw, Fury Swipes).

thanks for responding back.

i can see why u don't allow hybrids, other than the powers of two different pokemon , appearences can be tricky in judgement call.

Indeed. Which is why we prefer our pokemon be considered one species/ one set of moves. Less of a headache and people won't think ill of your character as much. (that said, I like *drawing* hybrids, it's them mixing with PCA/PSR that worries me for the above reasons)

i was just curious if my character would fit with this rule. i don't want to make any trouble for you and the PSR.

If you keep it a Cyndaquil with Cyndaquil moves and with the details I said you could keep, there should be no problem. So don't sweat it, it's fine to ask.

Okay now, two questions: First off how exactly do I go about subbiting my crazy cast to this thing? Do I write up their profiles and PM it here or should I just post 'em and point you folks in the right direction.

Second question: My Octillery has this weird lag when it comes to feeling pain and registering damage. Depending on which day you ask him he'll either tell you he inherited the nevous system of his father (A Slowking) or that his "masterful defence" is the result of years of hard training. Practically speaking this means he has about a ten second delay between when he's hit and when he registers the damage, something which is used mostly for comedic effect due to his general incompotence. My question is will I have to nerf that for this thing or is it all groovy pants?

Just make, post and point use in the right direction by way of a NOTE we've learned if you shout (Too many shouts cause older ones to disappear).

And nah, that's a pretty cool characteristic. YOu can do whatever you want to do with your characters in this situation. We're giving it a week for folks to sorta set up and decided what characters they want to use then next week the fun will begin.

For the first one...unless I'm off (and the other admins are free to tell me so), the latter.

As for the weird quirk? Seems groovy pants-y to me.

And there you go :P

Hmm. Not sure if I'm doing this right.

If I were to be making a Flygon 'Mon, the Grades 6-9 moveset would be three moves from the starting moveset (Bite, Sand Attack, Faint Attack, Sand Tomb), and one power move, right? What constitutes a power move? Crunch? Dragonbreath? And after that, for the rest of the grades it's just picking moves that they learn normally, and through TM, HM, Move Tutor, etc?

YEs. A power move could be like a stronger egg move or one of the more stronger basic attacks. Like Say, if you were using a charizard, you start out with growl, tail whip, tackle, you could then have power move of Ember/dragon rage (egg), ect. Main thing to remember with a middle school age kid (6-8th grade) is they are much younger and thus their abilities are going to be weaker than their high school counter parts.


And yes, for the rest of the grades it's picking from their full list of natural learned, and TM, HM, Tutor moves, with the appropriate number of move per grade.

Questions? Uh, nah, I'm just pondering the idea of sending Mallary into space. My poor lame duck could probably enjoy zero-g combat since it's probably less painful with his knee.

what is terraforming?

changing a planet or area that can not sustain life into one that can.

Actually, I got a question or two now. First, can you explain exactly what sort of areas the different Sectors do, and which coach runs each specific sector, since I noticed only one or two coachs were specifically named to be part of a specific sector.

I can pretty much understand Terraforming and Tech Support, but the other two I'm not quite so 100% sure what they involve exactly.

That's all.

Hopefully once the remaining coaches are drawn up in uniform (Ludu and Tamar), more explanation will arrive. I'd answer myself...but I honestly don't know, either :/

Got a question about the stat sheets.
For the power bars (Speed, Attack, etc.) is there a specific limit on how many slots we can use total, or is it "use your best guess and be reasonable"?

I'll say, use some online pokedex as a guide for the general pokemon but they can be tweeked, just let's not be goofy about it.

Alrighty, can do. I think I have a pokedex book with stat bar just like those, now that you mention it.

So...I should guess uniforms are mandatory, eh?

Also, will there be like "Teams" here? or no?

uniforms, yes, Teams, not necessarily. Kids may still choose to join as groups, but not required

Look on the bright side; These are COOL uniforms.

I've one; could we get an official list of what 'mon can survive in a space without out suit; I'm guessing some 'robot' 'mon like magnemites would be good, and Porygon2/Zs would be too (Seeing as Porygon2s are litterally BUILT to work in space). Just bit of a fashion question.

Ah.. well I guess probably actual rock rock types probably could (not sure if they actually need to breath or not though)

Hmmm, fair enough... although thinking about it, most would probably take some sort of suit anyway, since space is more than just a vaccuum...

Circuit: Sure I can survive in a vacuum and work well in micro-gravity, but if I'm outside and we get some unexpected sunspot activity, my brain'll still end up looking like a CD that went through a microwave...

AA question that been bugging me.
If we have a PCA character go into the PSR, do they stay in the PCA?

IT is a 'summer event'. BUT, may be out of time context of PCA stuff, so if the same pca character still does stuff in the PCA consider what happens here as a 'past' event.

How would M-Block be handled in this setting?
