Pokemon: Zelend

Now, every once in a while a Fakemon thingy pops up on the web, or here on SWF, but I feel mine is a bit different for a few reasons, the first of which being the intent: Pokemon Tabletop Adventures. For those unfamiliar, Pokemon Tabletop Adventures (PTA for short) is essentially Dungeons and Dragons with Pokemon. You got your trainer character which can be one of several classes (and advanced classes) such as an Ace trainer, Researcher or even Psychic (think Sabrina), which influences how they play and affect their pokemon. Speaking of, they also have some key changes to how their stats work and whatnot, but I wont get into that unless somebody asks

The other features include some stuff rarely seen (idk, usually when I google this stuff all that appears are the fakemon, nothing else associated lol) as in an actual new region and league, a new story, new items, abilities, stats, everything!

Now, I will be continually updating this as I go, and due to it being xmas ev....*checks time of post* xmas, I will start with the basics:

[collapse=Region: Zelend]

(pic to come)

Zelend is a region located much further south than any other in pokemon's history, and is in fact based on Australia, New Zealand and Polynesia. The main island harbors the player's starting area as well as a variety of key locations, but a number out outlying islands hold various gyms, attractions, and pokemon that can be seen no where else.

Due to the Hub-like nature, the story actually branches somewhat due to the order of some gyms not being definite. For example, you can go 1 > 2 > 3, or 1> 2 > 4 based on what island you go to.

Speaking of story, Zelend has the nigh archetypal conflict of Man vs Nature here, and weather or not it is right to influence nature, or leave it as is. Players will see this in the vast differences between the areas of the region, with bustling cities, research centers, deep jungles and even new land being formed on a volcanic island. However, it is up to the player to make choices throughout the game to decide which side they ultimately take.

Yes, I am aware they are under-detailed for now, but they will begin to fill up, trust me

Annnnd, I'm always open for suggestion when it comes to Ht/Wt/Movepools/Colors :D

[/collapse]


A sneak-peek for now, as time goes on I'll fill more and more of this out, but what I'll really be needing is both pictures, and learnsets/movepools for the mons. Other than that though, enjoy :D

Glad to see you're still continuing this! I support you all the way.

Those pokemon look pretty darn nice. I also like the abilities and moves so far. Will be following this! :3

Updated with new pokes, abilities, and pokemon info

Does that butterfly have 5 abilities? wat

Also base 85 double SpA with 96 speed.

Holy **** you might've found a way to break an early bug type. Slap a scarf on that and call it a day.

Any priority except fighting kills it lol, also there's a note about why there are multiple abilities...

This kinda makes me wanna try a PTA, haha.

Updated with a ton of new moves listed, and if you want I could detail out how PTA works if you need the info

Double post but w/e

Pokemon count is up to 25!

ALL new Moves and Abilities listed!

Loved what you did with the dark moves.

Just some thoughts;
You have A LOT of entry hazards
-> because of all the hazards + standard hazards, having a spinblocker AND undertow blocker is pretty much required.
I wouldn't give a dragon dance clone to bugs, bug already has quiver dance.
I'd make chemical bath lower defense and special defense sharply for a +3 speed boost, or just lower for +2. lowering attack is useless when a lot of poison is simply special.
Psychokinesis reminds me of psycho boost on steroids...

Ah cewl, feedback :D

The balancing factor is gonna be the availability of the "hazards", so far only Hot Ash and Undertow are TMs, the rest are lvl-up / maybe bred exclusives, and Undertow gives an alternative to having a spinner since instead of negating hazards, you can push them to the team who sent them to you.

I wouldn't give a dragon dance clone to bugs, bug already has quiver dance.

Sort of the same deal as above, it wont be a TM and I mostly made it for availability on pokes that would benefit from access to such a move, as well as limited distribution kind of like Quiver Dance and DDance already are

Fatal Attraction Normal/Physical
Power: 60 / Acc: 100 / PP: 20
Does double damage vs foes of the opposite gender, half vs same gendered foes, and normal vs other.

Name is too long (will henceforth abbreviate that with "NTL")

Lifestream: Normal/Special
Power: 130 / Acc: 90 / PP: 5
Deals 1/8th max HP in recoil damage each time it is used

I'd argue against it, but the current game has moves like Hi Jump Kick and Close Combat. Just make sure Porygon-Z doesn't get it

Plain Beam: Normal/Status
Power: - / Acc: 100 / PP: 5
The target and all of its attacks are changed to the normal type until the end of the battle.

The Move aspect of this seems a little too strong, as it's combining aspects of Simple Beam and Soak into one. I'd say make it do one or the other and increase the PP.

Simplify: Normal/Status
Power: - / Acc: - / PP: 25

The user prepares their attack, ensuring the next hit will have maximum effect. If the user's next move has a bonus effect (Burn Chance for example) it WILL occur unless the condition does not apply (like burn vs a fire type or such), or if the effect isn't a bonus (heightened crit chance)

Yeah, Berri seems to be the crowd favorite with those I've shown these to, followed by seapent for his evos, and then the felire line, but luckily everyone seems to like them at least

Also, while at work ill start drawing more of them in Pencil, have 50 already do.e, just need to post em lol

Considering moves like Featherdance and stuff, I don't think that Feather Barrage is all that bad.

Limit is 12 for both Moves and Abilities (a space counts as a character as far as this goes). That MIGHT be the limit for the "Species" designation in the Pokédex (like Mouse for Pikachu and Genetic for Mewtwo) but I'm not entirely sure.

There's a reason that Featherdance is all one word. Think of ThunderPunch vs. Fire Punch and Ice Punch, too.

Click to expand...

Could you do that? Kinda sounds interesting. And these are some legit pokes.

Don't know what sort of miracle it would take for Game Freak to actually stop making Fire/Fighting starters. Basically anything other than that is a good start

12 more mons are posted!

Also, I don't think the name length of Moves/Abilities would matter as much in a primarily DnD setting, so honestly it shouldn't be too big of a priority <.<

Speaking of, PTA time:

[collapse=Basic Run-Down]

Pokemon Tabletop Adventures plays out pretty much like normal Dungeons and Dragons, with the big difference being "with Pokemon". As such, your player character actually has the chance to do more in the game than just Press A and Move, and have their own stats (Constitution [HP and DEF], Strength [ATTK], Intelligence [SPATTK], Wisdom [SPDEF] and Charisma) and abilities (Various Feats).

In combat, characters get a "Trainer Turn" and a "Pokemon Turn". The former being where a Trainer can move around the area, do a feat and/or command their Pokemon, the former being what you expect where a Pokemon can Move about and attack/whatever. In PTA Pokemon and People are also allowed to attack one another (semi) directly, thus the Pokemon stats associated with the DnD stats in order for that to work. When that happens, you ignore the modifiers and just use the stat Directly (doubled in my games due to how they work) with the action.

Speaking of attacking/combat, the mons themselves have a neat system for how they work in the DnD setting. They have the 6 stats we all know and love, but each of them is a tad different. For example, lets look at Berrikeet's base stats:

Simple enough, their base stat / 10 = PTA stats (at lvl 1). Every Pokemon you get will have this, and in most cases add or subtract them directly from rolls (except for HP and SPEED):
[collapse=Stats]
HP: The formula for HP is "(3*[stat])+[Pokemon's Lvl]+10", with the +10 just being an addition by me from early playtests where Low Lvl combat was playing tag with rocket launchers.

So for Berrikeet, at lvl 1 she should have [(3*5)+1+10] = 26 HP total. Once she hits 0, she is defeated/feints. If she ever ends up at -26 (or anything hits their -max hp for that matter) they have to make a death saving roll, and anything beyond is dead.

Yeah, did I mention Pokemon and People can die in this?


(SP)ATTK: Added directly to an attack (based on which type obviously) after rolling the normal Damage Die.

For example, if Berrikeet were to do Tackle, the player would roll 2d6 for her Tackle damage, and add 4, since her ATTK stat is 4. Optimally, you'd want her to use a special attack which lets her add 6.


(SP)DEF: Subtracted directly from an attack (based on type) before damage is dealt.

For example, say two players were doing Berrikeet Dittos (on FD of course), and Berrikeet A hit Berrikeet B with Tackle for (2d6+4=7+4=11 damage). Berrikeet B would then subtract 4 from the 11 damage she would have taken, and only subtract 7 from her 26 HP.

It is important to note that Type Effectiveness is done AFTER Defenses come into play. So for example if Berri resisted Tackle, she would half the 7 damage (to 4), not the 11, and vice versa with making it 14 if super effective, and so on.


SPEED: Speed is both Initiative (higher speed goes first duh) and an essential Reflex bonus (if you have over 15 speed than another Pokemon, they have to roll 1 higher on their attack roll to hit you). Simple as that.


COMBAT STAGES: Another important aspect, boosted stats are enhanced by 25% per application (max of 250% original value), whereas lowered stats are negated by half of that at 12.5% (max of 25% of original value). So for example, if you were to use an X-ATTACK on Berrikeet, her ATTK stat would go from 4 to 5 (lol), and if she were to be Intimidated, it would go from 4 to ....4 (more lols) due to 3.6 rounding up to 4. Thankfully situations like that rarely arise during lvl 1 combat, and stats can never go below a value of 1.

[/collapse]

Moving along, you are probably wondering how Leveling works. For trainers, it is pretty much at GM discretion: win a badge? You get a level. Document a ton of Pokemon for the Pokedex? You've earned a level. Got a Ribbon? Got a level, and so forth. Every level gained (up to a point) awards a Trainer 1 Stat point and/or feat for them to choose.

Stats are self explanatory, you add it directly to your chosen stat (which, btw goes by either standard DnD rolling of 6 rolls of 4d6, then you distribute them however, or 64 total points with no more that 14, no less than 6 in a stat) which then affects your modifiers. This goes by standard DnD as well in that: 10-11 = +0, 12-13 = +1 (and so on), and anything below 10 is -(how far below 10), so a stat of 6 is automatically -4 to rolls.

Feats are a bit different in that they are either the generic "Trainer" feats anyone can choose, or class based. Speaking of, it may be a good time to list off the available classes:

[collapse=Classes]

ACE TRAINER:

These trainers are such dedicated battlers that they have studied how to maximize battle experience. They can maximize their pokemon’s attacks and find weaknesses in a foe’s pokemon normally immune or resistant to their pokemon’s attacks. They teach their pokemon as much as they learn from each of their pokemon’s
battles. Each battle is filled with passion and each pokemon trained by an Ace Trainer can realize their full battle potential and be the very best.


BREEDER:

Some trainers realize the value of raising a pokemon from a young age in order to build a better bond with their allies and friends. Breeders emphasize the importance of raising a pokemon from birth, not as a friend, but as their own children. Breeders hatch eggs very quickly and can actually coerce their pokemon to
produce multiple eggs. The most noticeable talent a breeder shows is the fact that their pokemon are
naturally born with more power then the average pokemon. Some even grow more powerful then any other in its species. Their pokemon are born with the courage and strength to pull them through any situation.


CAPTURE SPECIALIST:

The capture specialist is a talented mechanic. They intimately know the technology implemented in any type of Poke Ball and can improve their capture rates with a small bit of tweaking. Even after a wild pokemon breaks out of a poke ball after a failed attempt at capture, a Capture Specialist can quickly rebuild a poke ball with very little effort or expense. A Capture Specialist’s natural and one true calling is finding every wild and adding them to his or her collection. The mastery of poke ball knowledge makes it easier for a Capture
Specialist to catch them all.


COORDINATOR:

Some trainers may battle against other trainers in a competition of appearance rather then strength. As
shallow as some may view this practice, only a truly talented Coordinator can make an ugly Feebas win a competition of beauty. Coordinators know the natural advantages of appearance and can some times
convince a judge to award them victory before they’ve even entered a competition. This isn’t any different in a battle; just viewing a well-trained pokemon owned by a coordinator may intimidate some pokemon.
Coordinators value the importance of monetary gain and use their pokemon to ensure a constant cash flow through contests. They can’t be denied their Ribbons.


MARTIAL ARTIST:

Some trainers physically exceed some pokemon in hand-to-hand combat. Their mastery of the Martial Artist is unparalleled by the untrained, random attempts of assault performed by any other trainer. They can take out other trainers with little effort, and their pokemon benefit from their exploits as well. The Martial Artist has a natural affinity for the Fighting, Steel, Rock and Ground types of pokemon and can better train them to use their attack to their full potential.


MYSTIC:

The Mystic connects with Pokemon and nature at a primal level that most don’t understand. They
are able to enter a trance to channel Pokemon and see through their eyes, forging such a fundamental
connection that they are able to manifest some of their Pokemon’s abilities. These natural talents tend to guide Mystics towards religious and spiritual occupations or those that deal with the lore of ancient and
Legendary Pokemon.


PSYCHIC:

Not every human in the Pokemon World is born with equal natural abilities. Psychics are born with
supernatural powers. Psychics have a natural affinity for the Dark, Ghost and Psychic type pokemon. They can telekinetically move objects and telepathically enter the minds of others. They can emphatically figure out exactly what their pokemon need, telepathically negotiate with people or enter the minds of pokemon to communicate with the wild itself.


RANGER:

Unlike your average denizen in the world, who tends to the capture and battling of pokemon, Rangers are an elite, trained force of authority who take on the responsibility of maintaining balance and peace. A ranger’s duty is to protect and befriend both human and pokemon alike.


RESEARCHER:

While most trainers aim to be the best, Researchers aim to know the most. While they lack the physical advantage other trainers might, they have studied for many years prior to the beginning of their journey and have retained a vast amount of knowledge relating to most pokemon all over the world. They know many things relating to a pokemon’s natural moveset, their habitat, and even the location of several pokemon – just by name. A powerful trainer can help a pokemon find the power that’s inside; a Researcher knows the power that’s inside before he or she even captures a pokemon.

[/collapse]
There are also advanced classes based on the main ones, but this is just a basic run-down.

As for leveling your Pokemon, there are two methods: The Book's, and my Homebrew/Alternate Method. These both relate to how the stats and STAB work however, and not directly on experience.

EXP is awarded after your Pokemon defeats another, and each pokemon has their own EXP value for Wild, Trainer and Gym experience rates. Every level has a set goal EXP to reach for them, so unlike in the games different Pokemon don't have different EXP growth.

Beyond that, everything is essentially the same in regards to learning moves and leveling up, except for a few key changes. The first being that Trade Evolutions now have a Level requirement as an alternate method of evolution (they still need items however if required, for example Scyther when holding a Metal Coat at lvl 30 can evolve into Scizor without being traded). The second and more drastic is that at level 40, your Pokemon can gain a second ability from their ability pool (you get to choose your starter's ability from the get-go, wilds/etc are always randomized), and eventually you can even unlock their hidden ability, allowing for 3 at once!
Quick note, Natures in this can be selected by the player for their chosen starter, and are randomized by the GM for other pokemon (just like with abilities). Natures simply work by +/- 2 points from the base stats of the Pokemon. So if Berrikeet had say, a Modest Nature, her ATTK/SPATTK stats would go from 4 and 6, to 2 and 8. The only time this does not apply is with Base stats where the negation would make it go to 0 or lower, which means either it is only +/- 1, or simply not allowed. Oh, and there are HP natures

Now, lets look at the Stats and STAB:

[collapse=Alternate Method/JOE's Homebrew]
The Alternate method is much more complex than the Book's, but at the same time is not only closer to the actual games, but offers a better sense of progression as your Pokemon levels up as multiple stats are increased upon level up.

Like with the Book's method, the Player can choose how certain Stats grow with trained Points, every 5 levels. Every 5 levels your Pokemon gets 3 additional points to put toward stats with a max of 2 in any one at a time, and still must follow base relation. It is much harder to break BR with this method though, so it's not much of an issue.

As for how the stats grow, it is based on both level and the base stat itself:
[collapse=Le Chart]

The left is the ending digit of the level, stating at 2 and ending at (1)0 and (1)1. The top shows the base stat and at what level it gains a new point. Ranging from a stat of 1 where you it only grows by 1 every level that ends in 6, to 10 where it grows every level, and beyond where it can grow by 2 or even 3 at certain levels!


Berrikeet in this version will level up as such at level 2:

5 / 4 / 4 / 6 / 6 / 5 -> 5 / 4 / 4 / 7 / 7 / 5

5 / 2 / 4 / 8 / 6 / 5 -> 5 / 3 / 4 / 8 / 7 / 5 (modest)


If this is too hard to keep track of, the formula "((Level/10)+1)*BaseStat" will do essentially the same thing.
[/collapse]

This way, stats already grow according to base relation, with higher stats growing faster, and vice versa automatically. The only real con to it is that it is much more complex than the Book's method.

STAB in this version is doubled, with 1-5 = +2, 6-10 = +4, etc
[/collapse][/collapse]

Beyond that are the Capabilities for each Pokemon, which are a PTA specific property. They come in a variety of flavors, such as Overland (how many spaces they can move in 1 turn), Sky (See Overland, but while Flying), Strength (the higher the value, the more they can move), etc. There are also specific Capabilities such as Tracker (this Pokemon can track things through the environment), Aura (they can see the Aurrraaaa....), Gilled (breathe underwater), and the like. Some capabilities can even be granted via learning a new move, such as Terra-forming (the ability to reshape terrain around the user) if the Pokemon learns Earthquake or Earth Power.

For a much detailed run-down however, I've provided a DL link to the books (in PDF Format)

If you got any other questions, just ask away!

Edit: Wait nevermind

added another poke, and I have a bit of a request if anyone would be willing:

think anyone could help with color / in general with things like learnpools whatever? :D

Ok, so I've started the campaign and it's a big success, however... the only roadbloack is that it takes a moment for me to whip out some of the mons since not all of them have movepools yet...

think anyone would be willing to help me out there?

I could do some movepools here and there, I am the movepool guy after all.

Just don't expect me to do them constantly/consistently/ever. I might. No promises.

Ultra bump, gonna be revamping this thread soonish...

Also, as it so happens I have room for 2 new pokes after reworking some things, any ideas?
