Thread: Hunger Games (Pokémon): Sign Up's open, 15 spots left (Officials Wanted)

Inspired by ebansu:

In the year 2012 Kanto, Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh made war on Unova. Unova won and put the other four regions under it's control, splitting them all up into 12 Districts. To celebrate their victory Unova held an annual competition known as the Hunger Games. From each District two tributes were selected and they all fought to the death. The winner....lived in peace forever more...apparently. This year is the first Hunger Games.


The Rules:

1.There will be six areas.

2.It takes one turn to move from an area.

3.Turn order is selected randomly at the start of each turn.

4.A tribute can attack another once every turn.

5. If you die then you die, nothing else.

6. You can make alliances with other tributes, but only temporary ones.

7. PM all of your RPs to an Official and the person that they are concerning, don't post them.

Battling:

The battling system relies on a few things.

1. The move's power and type effectiveness.

2. The quality of the post. Write a lot of description with good grammar and you'll have a good attack.

3. The Power of the Pokémon.

So a high quality post Flamethrower might do more damage than a low-quality Zap Cannon.

The judges of the post quality will be myself and two other officials.

After a battle you will heal 10% every turn. Also your stats will return 1 point closer to normal (i.e. say that your Pokémon used Hone Claws and Close Combat during the battle, its Attack and Accuracy stat would be normal after one turn and its Defense and Special Defense stats would be -1 each. Status conditions do not heal unless you find a Berry. If you do not their effects are as follows:

Poison and Burn: Takes off 6.25% of you health every turn.
Paralysis: Has a 50% chance of your character not moving in each turn.
Confusion: Has an equal chance of moving to each area. Lasts for 1 turn
Freeze: Your character cannot move for 2 turns. If someone finds you you will be encased in a block of ice.

You do not have to use conventional attacks during a battle. You could use Leaf Blade swinging down from a tree with Vine Whip. Also, you do not have to attack, you can dodge or try to escape.

You can use more than one action per post. The only condition is that the second poster in the turn can use as many actions as the first poster did.

When you write a post, don't say what the other Pokémon did unless they have already posted before you. Also, don't say that an attack hit, that is up to the referee (me or an official) to decide.

If you win a 2 battles you evolve one stage (This rule does not apply to 2 stage Pokémon, where 3 battles are required)

Sponsors

If you do something special then a sponsor is allowed to send a package in. This can contain three items. The items can be:

Held Items, like King's Rock

Evolutionary Items, like Thunderstone

TMs/HMs

Healing Items

Special HG only items like food, traps or Dream World simulators.

Again, the sponsors will be myself and two officials.

Pokémon (has to be a basic): Eevee

Nickname: Trinity

District: 3

Personality: Bubbly and cheerful, always getting in others' faces and causing trouble. She's really cheeky and knows she's cute and often acts cute to get her way.

(By the way, can we form temporary alliances with other tributes?)

Yes, but only temporary ones.

Would abilities come into play and if so would DW be allowed or no? Also would their only moves be what they learn leveling up or would they be allowed DW or an egg move?

Yes, abilities would come into play.

DW would work like this.

There would be an HG-only item, known as the Dream Inducer, that sponsors could send. It immediately gives Pokémon their Dream World ability. Otherwise they are inaccessable.

Egg moves would have a similar system to get them, with an item of sorts. If there is a TM of them (i.e. Thunderpunch for Chimchar) Sponsors can give them too. I'm not sure about DW moves yet, I'm tempted to give them, but if not they will be gained by the Dream Inducer.

Pokémon (has to be a basic):Sandshrew

Nickname:Slash

District:7

Personality:Slash likes to have fun and mess around but is serious when he has to battle. He is annoyed by those that act better than others or use things like looks to get their way. Doesn't trust enemies.

(I'm still curious about how what moves they use will work. Will they already know all possible level up moves, or learn them as they grow, and what about egg moves)

They know all level up moves. There is no level-up system so your Sandshrew knows Earthquake. As I explained, sponsors will be able to donate egg moves.

Pokémon (has to be a basic): Purrloin

Nickname: Charisma

District: 1

Personality: Charisma is manipulative and sometimes even sadistic. She seems to know everything about everyone, and knows all their weaknesses, which comes to her advantage. She never panics and is always calm during a battle. But she has some social issues, and is always a bit awkward when trying to make friends.

Great work, guys, three sign-ups in the first day, this is going really well.

We also need a couple of officials, so if you have anyone in mind get them to VM me or just post in this thread.

Pokémon (has to be a basic): Charmander

Nickname: Flame

District: 12

Personality: Flame is a lone wolf. He hates working in teams, and will always pick himself over others. if others try to work with him, Flame is arrogant and cocky. He only cares about winning.

OK, here's my application:

Pokémon: Snivy

Gender: Female

Nickname: The Whip

District: 6

Personality: The Whip is an evil creature, and determined to win. She would never work in a group unless she was exploiting them.

Two things people:

1: Can you all edit your applications to include Gender, for the sake of Attract and sprites.

2: I'm going to edit the rules sometime today to explain a few things, look out for them!

Pokémon: Sneasel

Nickname: Kyla

Gender: Female

District: 2

Personality: Kyla likes working independently, and is very wary of others. She is constantly on guard, and she doesn't let people easily socialize with her. It is almost impossible to earn her trust, and even harder to befriend her at all. Instead of hand-to-hand combat, she prefers to concentrate more on survival, and uses her cunningness and intelligence to sneak up and steal supplies and so on. She is also skilled in dodging traps and attacks, thanks to her agility.

Pokemon: Bulbasaur

Nickname: Ivy

Gender: Female

District: 11

Personality: Ivy is very shy and is independent most of the time. She doesn't like to fight, her main goal is to survive in the arena. She is very quick and is very quiet when she roams around. She doesn't want or need an ally. She is very fast and is hard to catch.

Pokémon:
Gender: Female
Name: Starlet
District: 9 (If only because I think District 9 is the name of a film)
Personality: Starlet always manages to be graceful and does her best to seem mystical and aloof. She likes feeling above everyone else, to be the best she has to offer. Never shows any sign of stress and is always calm and composed. Loves the move Teleport.

OK, guys, we have 10 sign-ups. The Hunger Games are going to start on the 3rd August (or whenever we get 24 SUs)

Given that we lack a lot of Male characters I'm going to offer you all the chance to do multiple SUs (unless you're an official) on three conditions.

1. They must be the opposite gender to your first SU
2. They cannot ally themselves together.
3. They cannot fight each other unless there are less than 5 participants left.
