RPG Information

[Gideon]

The first steps toward getting the RPG back have been taken. Kirby King and I have successfully gotten back up the pokemon characters for the RPG. You can now go to your profile and start messing around with your character. Battling is not ready yet, and neither is the item shop; therefore, at this time there is no way to earn gil.

Please read the RPG FAQ before asking for questions. Do not ask about battling or the store or anything else that isn't finished. The only thing you can really do right now is organize clans and select your character, alignment, etc...

The elements are also currently defualt... int eh near future you will start to see that the elements make a unique difference though.

Please be patient as we try to finish this thing out. Battling is expected to begin next Monday.

***Please remember*** -----> as you select your character in the User CP, certain things change as you select new options. Start with one thing, then click update. For example, changing your gender to Female and then clicking Update recalculates things, so that when you go back their will be different things to choose.

ooo, Kae. that Explains Why we Can't Get Any Gil yet. i was wonderin if my comp was messed up, heh. well, Lata

[Mr.E]

"Ninetales" is spelled incorrectly.

[gamecube64]

I remember how after level 5 we couldn't change Pokemon/Gender/Type and now I'm wondering, can we change our alignment after that time, or not?

I can't believe I did that AGAIN... I even know its TALES not TAILS... heh it must just be second nature to spell it tails :P

Lik eI said earlier, don't ask questions about stuff that isn't complete yet. Battling is not done yet. When the system is ready for battle, I will be sure to explain all the rules again, including alignment.

Hey, Gid I was just wondering if you or Kiki made a mistake when putting in the pokemon. See, I remember when you told us a while back that you would put in the last evolutionary form if it did from Pokemon #1-151. Well, I just noticed you have Eevee and Paras as selectable pokemon. I don't know if this is a mistake or if there is something that I just don't get.

[Kirby King]

There are several Pokemon that were added because of popular request. Among them are Paras, Pikachu, and Meowth... can't say if I remember any others. Anyway, these were by special request, and as Gid's mentioned, he's not adding any more.

[Gideon]

yeah, make sure you read my stickied RPG Update topic... I believe the other one was Magikarp, but he's in as a joke.... he doesn't really grow stat wise :P

I guess hes there for decor for people who just want to display their icon for fun.

[Mr.E]

MAGIKARP 8D

I am saddened that you've given him no stat growth though. Come on, nobody can possibly stand up to the true power that is the King of Karp.

Though I understand, I guess. Otherwise Magikarp is just too cheap. =(

[Gideon]

its really more of a joke that I included him :P Maybe i'l allow him to buy splash or something heh.

Anyway, just thought I'd let you guys know that I am doing an addon where users will get more experience for beating higher level people and less experience for beating lower level people.

[SilencedViolence]

That's good. But make sure that there's actually a way to beat higher lvl people... as in the tackle stuff.

Can you tell us about some more specific stuff, such as how much gil we'll start with, how will the healing system work, will item prices be reduced, will and did magic attacks do damage based on the magic attack and defense stats, will scratch not suck anymore, how much gil per post, will the bank - healing withdrawal prblem be fixed, etc.?

Alot of suggestions have been put in, but I haven't seen any official responses.

[neodan]

Also if you reffer someone you should get gil...like 1000

[Kirby King]

Yes, that's not an exaggeration to say Magikarp's a joke... all his stats are set to 1 right now. :p

SilencedViolence -- More information will be coming out and such... it's still being tested and worked out. Rest assured that many of the problems that were faced in the hereafter-reffered-to-as-beta period will be addressed.

neodan -- No.

[neodan]

Then how are we supposed to get all that gil?

[Gideon]

have patience....all will be explained in time. Just donm't worry about it, I'm taking all suggestions into consideration.

[neodan]

ok but i cant see why we cant get gill for reffering someone?

[Veggie123]

Do we have to be pokemon or can we still be the human thing? Just wondering... ;)

[gamecube64]

You can be the human *none* if you dont want to battle or have any stats :P.

[quicky]

Hey I know that those are not all the PKMN in the RPG but are you gonna include Houndoom??(he's the best)

have you ever thought to read my rpg update topic?:rolleyes:

everything is answered there...

[Nephilim]

OK as you see I have Gengar for my poke my question is can he only learn ghost TMs? Or can he learn any TM I can afford? Do regular weaknesses apply just like in the real pokemon game? Is there a limit to how many attacks a poke can learn? you know like only 4 attack slots etc.

Now I maybe way out of line here but could you post a list of all the TMs? I just wanna see what kind of attacks are available and hopefully start a strategy. If I'm out of line I'm sorry just answer my other questions.

I just made a new update about 5 minutes ago that should answer your questions, make sure to check it out.

[Psycho Falcon]

I was just wondering, do you have any plans for PP? I'm guessing it's used for the new "Protective" item type... or did you cancel it? If you didn't cancel it are you going to introduce us to it?

PP will not be used for our RPG. I will work on protective items in July (when I'm back from vacation). Protective items will just be items you buy and equip and they help you out.

[SilencedViolence]

Just wondering... what was the PP thing meant to do the first time around. How many times you can physically attack maybe?

Also, what was your reason for removing it? Did you feel it was unecessary to set a limit on the # of physical attacks in battle (if that's what it did)? Did you believe this limit would actually never be broken? Would it have cost to much to heal PP if it required healing?

I haven't noticed much specific info on the magic attack damage being random in the beta issue. I assume that was changed... if it was even true... but I need confirmation.

[Gideon]

PP just was never a functioning thing in the RPG... you can't replenish it... etc. It was orignally meant for summons I think.

[Bowser87]

Just asking for a few things to get cleared out: Is there going to be free healing sessions this time? If so, when? 'Cause I didn't see any mention about this in the manual.

not at the moment... if there are, it will be in the future, and they will not be announced before hand.. it will be the type of thing where you will have to be lucky to run into one :P

[Bowser87]

Dang, so this means I'll have to pay this time to heal myself.
