All the World's a Pokemon - OOC

I'll take a female Barboach... named "Aurelia".

OK, I made a post at 11-14-2013 04:56 PM on Page 47, and now I have some questions.

1.) Is Phione considered a legendary for the purposes of this RP?
2.) After I make a post, when can I expect a response? I think I led Sekibanki into a battle, after all.
3.) I understand that Gyms must be fought in order. What happens if I try to face them out of order?
4.) Do TMs work like they do in Gen V, or do they break after one use?
5.) Can a Gym Leader act as a Rival, plotwise?

Those are my questions.

[Koishi]

I don't think Phione is a legendary, since you can obtain a lot of them. It's more of a pseudo-legendary. Like Volcarona.

[WriggleRid3r]

1) Manaphy is a legendary, but Phione's legendary status is... questionable.
2) Uh...
3) You'll get rekt.
4) They're single-use, but you can get multiple of them in this RP.
5) Gym leader as rival? That might be a slight problem, since there are other people than Seki in Unova who needs to take on the said gym.

[Lord_Jacobus1]

It's more of a pseudo-legendary. Like Volcarona.

Mima, pseudo-legendary is a very specific term. Only Dragonite, Tyranitar, Salamence, Metagross, Garchomp, Hydreigon, & Goodra are pseudo-legendary. Volcarona is commonly mistaken for a pseudo-legendary, but one of the requirements is that it has to be the last in a three stage line. I have never heard anyone call Phione a pseudo-legendary before.

[Lord_Jacobus1]

(Double-post because I just saw Wriggle's post.)

Well, just to be safe, I won't use Phione. I'll do the gyms in order. And the Gym Leader will stay in the gym unless you make them leave the gym for some reason.

Thing is, my term of a pseudo legendary is different from others. I see a pseudo legendary as a pokemon that's not legendary that you can only get in very few ways, but you can breed it, like Volcarona, Phione, Zorua, etc.

[Lord_Jacobus1]

I see. So it is not the Pokemon's power as much as it is the availability.

[Koishi]

Exactly. I don't care about the power, whne it comes to Pseudo-legendaries, it's all about how many there are, where they are, and how difficult to get they are.

[WriggleRid3r]

I'm asking this to everyone: do you guys want shared timeline where everybody is at the same time, or different timelines where one character is ahead of time and another is behind?

[Major Mario]

Well... Shared timelines can bring people together, i.e. RP going to bed and talking about your day to other characters. However, they can be quite the nuisance. I don't have much of an opinion, Wriggle.

[Lord_Jacobus1]

Different timelines would make more sense. It would allow for faster play, especially since you don't respond to everyone at once.

[WriggleRid3r]

After much consideration, here's my proposal.

Current Problem: Inactive members preventing everyone from progressing through the story due to the shared timeline.

Solution: Every Character runs at a separate timeline. If the RPer wishes his/her character to meet other characters RPed by other members, he/she can slow, accelerate, or timeskip his/her pace in the timeline to do so.

Any questions, comments, or concerns?

[Koishi]

Well what if said characters are in the same city as one another, but can't really do anything because of the fact that having one part of the city be at night and the other at day would be utterly ridiculous. (AKA Koishi's situation)
