PokéRanchers!

[Pokemaster]

Similar to Harvest Moon, this Roleplay features players on a farm where they aim to become the best ranchers of Trinity Village. You start with 2 Farm-based-Pokemon that you want. You can have a pet to join you along on the farm as well.

Anyone interested?

[Akai]

Can we discuss the possible pet Pokemon?

[Nytz]

I wanna baby Absol... when or if this RP begins....

[Pokemaster]

@Akai, yes.

@Nytz, Absol's like a Dog sorta... So it could work as a pet. :)

[HobbesI]

Absol? Is that a dog or something? ?_?

Sounds fun! I can see my little pet Houndour.

[Pokemaster]

Absol is the thing in Nytz's signature. That Pokemon with the scythe on it's head.

[HobbesI]

Well, I was actually questioning what animal it would be in the real world, not what pokemon.

[Akai]

In a contest about photoshopping "real" Pokemon, the common one was a wolf-like creature for Absol, but it's not classified as an animal.

On the Pokemon, which ones can you choose from. Just "farm" type Pokemon?

[Pokemaster]

Oh.
Well, Cats would be like Meowth, Skitty, and Glameow.
Dogs would fall under Poochyena, Growlithe, Absol, etc.
Mice would be similar to Pichu, Plusle, and Minun.


@Akai: Well, for animals on the ranch, besides pets, yes. Mareep and Flaaffy would be sheep. Miltank would be a cow. Ponyta and Rapidash horses, etc.

[Akai]

Similar to Harvest Moon, this Roleplay features players on a farm where they aim to become the best ranchers of Trinity Village. You start with 2 Farm-based-Pokemon that you want. You can have either a dog, cat, or mouse for a pet.

See bold? I mean about that.

[HobbesI]

Cows... Miltank

Horses... Rapidash

I'd like to see what would happen if someone got on a horse that's on fire.

[Akai]

I'd like to see what would happen if someone got on a horse that's on fire.

It was in the anime. You can only ride it if the Pokemon trusts you.

I'm sorry. I don't see Absol as a dog. =/

[Pokemaster]

Okay... so we won't base pets on animals. But the farm animals need to be.

[HobbesI]

It was? I don't watch the anime much.

Wait, so what would Doduos be?

[Pokemaster]

Hmm... Good question...

Ostrich!

[HobbesI]

That makes sense.

<<Farm Animals, IMO, that should be avaliable>>

Horses: Ponyta ; Doduo

Cows: Miltank ; Tauros ; Tropius (for fruit)

Sheep: Mareep ; Flaaffy

Chickens/Ducks: Farfetch'd ; Fearow

Other: Combee (honey)
========================
<<Pet Examples>>

Dogs: Growlithe, Poochyena, Electrike

Mice: Pichu, Plusle, Minun
==========================
<<Pokemon To Look Out For>>

Ekans, Ursaring, Heracross, Sandshrew, etc.

[HobbesI]

How is Doduo a horse?

Should we have a whole catagory for plant-pokemon?

Hmm... 700th post...

[Pokemaster]

Hmm... You make a good point Akai. Though Psyduck was left out in your post :P

What do you mean, Hobbes?

[Akai]

If you watched the Ponyta episode, he was similar to Ponyta.

[HobbesI]

Like Oddish, Sunflora, or any other plant-pokemon that maybe could make food. But then again, I'm not sure if eating Oddish (which I think are onions) would be a good idea.

EDIT: Ok, I guess we'll ride ostritches.

[Akai]

No. I put Tropius in the cows because the fruit is like its milk. I looked at all the Pokemon, and none really produce anything useful.

[Nytz]

Mice: Pichu, Plusle, Minun

what about poor ol Ratatta? Rats and mice are very similar, if not the same!

[Akai]

Oh! Rattata and Raticate need to be in the "Watch out" Pokemon.

[Nytz]

Like Oddish, Sunflora, or any other plant-pokemon that maybe could make food. But then again, I'm not sure if eating Oddish (which I think are onions) would be a good idea.


the dexter says that cherubi taste good.

[HobbesI]

Yay! Something we can boot out with the broom.

[Akai]

the dexter says that cherubi taste good.

EEEEEEEWWWWWWWW. And you know someone was probably starving and had just a Cherubi, and was like, "It's either you or me... and I have thumbs. *gulp!*"

[HobbesI]

>_< I should've never suggested eating oddish onions.

[Akai]

Besides, Oddishes are named after radishes, anyway. :p

[Pokemaster]

And Cherubi are named after Cherries ^_^

[Akai]

I thought it was cherry blossoms. O_o;;

PM, you need to make a final list (on the first RP post) of the Pokemon and their purpose. Like Miltank can be for milk, and Tauros can be for herding (and future slaughtering. >:3)

[Pokemaster]

Okay, slightly edited from what you put, Akai.

<<Farm Animals that will be avaliable>>

Horses: Ponyta ; Doduo

Cows: Miltank (sows) ; Tauros (bulls) ; Tropius (for fruit)

Dogs: Growlithe, Poochyena, Electrike, Absol, Houndour

Mice: Pichu, Plusle, Minun

Ferrets and Squirrels: Sentret, Pachirisu, Zangoose, Buizel
==========================
<<Pests and Ranch Intruders>>

[Akai]

Well, mine wasn't final, for one: not my RP, and two: I was in a rush.... and three: it was just examples.

:D :D :D Look!! :D :D :D

Alright, I bumped it just to fit this with the others...

Character Form:

Personality: mischevious, playful
Special differences: Shiny....

[Akai]

Two Absols? Isn't that overkill?

[Nytz]

okay... how bout an Umbreon...?

[Akai]

PokeMaster already made a list of Pokemon you can choose from: Click (http://www.pokezam.com/forums/showpost.php?p=62164&postcount=32)

[Nytz]

Okay..... They say Eevee.... so does that mean I can get Eevee to evolve into Umbreon if I choose Eevee for my second pokemon?

[Akai]

I want to say that you can have an Eevee, and then later in the RP have it evolve, yes.

[Nytz]

Thanks you.... Eevee it is then.

[Akai]

I really hate calling the shots on PokeMaster's RP, but he's been MIA since late this morning/afternoon. He's probably going to quit this and all RPs after I told him that he killed them.

[Nytz]

aww.... I think I like this idea though..... I know I barely have time for RPing, that's why I usually give out my Ideas to everyone else.... you in particular.

[Akai]

Well, thanks. ^_^ If PM doesn't make this RP happen, I will. Don't worry.

[Nytz]

How's this for my Shiny Eevee...?

http://www.pokezam.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=7&pictureid=96

[Akai]

Ooooh. Pretty.

I think it'll be a good idea to add to the character form exactly what you do at a farmer. I was going to be a herder, and have a huge flock of Doduo and a Dodrio (to ride).

[Nytz]

Hey, I was gonna be a herder.... well I guess I'll be a shephard... and my pokemon can herd the Mareep... and count them till we fall aseep under the starry sky.... and a Miltank jumps over the moon.......

[Akai]

Haha. There's no rule about two players having the same job.

[3speon]

Guys! You need to make your farms!

Here's mine:

Make your own:

[Nytz]

...huuuuuuh.....???

[Pokemaster]

It's a sprite map of a farm. You get to assemble it. ^_^

[Akai]

Yes. Please make your farms.

[3speon]

Wait... so we aren't all on the same land? Or are we, just with different areas?

EDIT: Either way, I finished!

http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s238/PigturePurrfect/PokeRanchersFarm.png

[Pokemaster]

Each member has a different farm, but they all reside in Trinity Village.

[DialgaBlues80]

How do you assemble the farms?

Oh and how do you find images for your character?

[DialgaBlues80]

Sorry for double posting, but I need to test the whole "assemble a farm" thing to see if it works for me...

IT DOESN'T WORK!!!

Edit: I don't get it... How does this work?

Edit #2: Can someone please tell me what to do about the things in the post above this one?

[DialgaBlues80]

How!?! PLEASE TELL ME!!!

*says in a whiny voice* Please...... Someone!? Anyone!?!
