Battling System

Is there like a battling system? to make things fair in battles?
like dice it could be

1 or 2 = Hit
3 or 4 = Miss
5 = Hit/Miss (depends on Accuracy or something, havent thought it through enough xD)
6 = Critical Hit

Hit = 1
Miss = 0
Critical hit = +2
Super effective = +1.5
Not very effective = +0.5

It might get more complex tho like having to add stats for pokemon tho =P
just a thought =P

I think that's a pretty good idea~

That way, we won't have battles that will drag on forever, just because one side 'doesn't want to lose.'

I do admit though that I can't see how that'll work accurately without taking a Pokemon's stats into account. We can't have Mudkips taking down Ho-Ohs, If you know what I mean.

And maybe we should put up a place where people can display the natures/stats/moves of their Pokemon? We can't have a Kirlia know twelve different moves, there needs to be four or less that each Pokemon knows. I think that would be a good idea.

Of course, there's always gonna be someone who would put up ridiculous stats for their Pokemon, so we'd someone to keep tabs on what's OK and what's under/over the sane limit for that Pokemon xD

well yea i see your point and making a page for stats/nature/moves is good idea so it could be like um well that below. and yea but how come they cant only learn more than 4 moves xP (i guess it makes sence but what if they got good memory)

Attack = Close Combat attacks
Defence = Defend from Close Combat attacks
Speed = Needed to Hit opponent
Sp Attack = Range Attacks
Sp Defence = Defend from Range attacks
Luck = Needed to Dodge opponent
and u could get points to distribute among stats (example 300 points to begin with)

for example

Shunshin vs Fuwafuwa (could be this)

Shunshin lv 25 Fuwafuwa lv 25
Hp = 100/100 Hp = 100/100
Attack = 54 Attack = 65
Defence = 52 Defence = 54
Speed = 46 Speed = 42
Sp Attack = 65 Sp Attack = 52
Sp Defence = 42 Sp Defence = 46
Luck = 41 Luck = 41

Shunshin uses Thundershock (lets say it hits um...) 44 (it could increase depending on how much higher the attack is from the defence. (also this uses sp atk and sp Def)

Fuwafuwa uses Tackle (um... xD) 38 (hits higher causea stats) (uses Atk and Def)

Shunshin Hp = 62/100 Fuwafuwa Hp = 56/100

so um i dunno how to choose lvl and stuff but um, maybe it could be
under lvl 25 = 1 battle = 1/4 exp
under lvl 50 = 1 battle = 1/6 exp
under lvl 75 = 1 battle = 1/8 exp
under lvl 100 = 1 battle = 1/10 exp

this will also make ppl become more dedicated if they wanna lvl xD

It's thought out, but it might be fairly confusing to some people. I mean, whos gonna look at your stats and the oppents stats and deduct the attack power?

i know xD i trying to think of an easier way to put it but i just thought of this within a few mins and it was just so we dont all keep fighting for like forever xD

X_O Sounds like a good idea.

The pokemon battle that has lasted for a hundred years.....that would be boring..

It's got some holes in it but it's a start. :3 But about the stats...

From what it's like in the games, Speed is used in battles to decide who attack's first, while the chance that you'll hit your opponent is usually decided from a randomly generated number. Luck sounds like a way to change things up, but it might sound 'foreign' to people who are used to playing by the game's system.

If we got a random number generator from off the internet somewhere, I'm sure it'd be a lot easier.

Also, what would we do for weather effects, status ailments and recovery moves? How would we decide how much time a pokemon is asleep, or how long a sandstorm lasts, or how much HP a pokemon regains?

Ah, so many possibilities~ :3

For some things we could do what they do in the game. Like..Sandstorm lasts 4 to 5 turns. Then there are some healing moves that always gives back half the pokemons current hp...Just an idea..

i agree =P but we'd need to spread things out itd be confusing for new players, its confusing for me xD but its only an idea so if ya all add ur ideas to this too it might work
but we gotta find a way to make it simpler =P

Making it simple might be a challenge in itself.

Have you ever seen the coding for a Pokemon game? It goes on for pages and pages and pages....

If we try and put that into words and make sense of all of it, it might take some time xD
Plus, Luck is there as an entirely new mechanic too...

I'm sure we'll figure it out.

I'm sure we will

yup well i only added luck to make it possible to dodge =P like if opponents luck is higher than ur speed and it lands on 5 then its miss
but other way around and its on 5 and it hits

As long as you have good players and moderators, battles shouldn't drag on forever. From our last forum... I have no examples to prove this theory though. It's possible, but I don't want to use a calculator to rp with. Also If you want a "real" system its not just adding and subtracting. I could work something out, but once again I don't feel that it's necassary.

Err..... if someone has luck points... then wouldn't it no longer be luck. That's just my opinion on the matter. It wouldn't be "Luck" if someone was actually "Luckier" then someone else.

That aint no fault =3= and i did all that without a calculator (i feel kinda stupid for not using one now) but fine change "Luck"to "Tripping Up Speed" xP

Luck is catchier and easier to remember. Why not keep it the same?

I um Concur

If we don't use the system I don't see why you can't call it BLAHR BLAHER RAH REE. If we have a bunch of god-mod battles though, a system will be formulated.

Edit: I dont like pokemon's limited use of Attack, Def, Spec Attack, and Spec Def anyway. So I would want to change that.

eh still i know its limiting but i only posted this as an example cause we can tell there are gonna be some players who come along and dont want to lose any battles >.>

Yup~ In a battle, no one really WANTS to lose...a few people might but the majority...

I dunno. If it comes down to willpower, stubborn people will be our greatest problem over who wins or loses in a Pokemon battle.

How about someone who isn't battling does a coin flip for the overall result? Then you can RP the actual battle however you like. Another Pokémon RP that I am in does this, and it works really well!

And also, battle like in the anime, not specifically like the games.
