This is my first quest. Criticisms are welcome.

It's finally time! Today you begin your Pokemon journey. Of course, there are a few things we need to know before we can get started.

Are you a boy or a girl?

XXY is still a guy according to science

Nobody likes Klinefelter Syndrome

That said, Girl, duh

in today's modern society, we really shouldn't get bogged down by words that we define sexuality with, considering the several potential identiti- oh fuck it.
Girl. Tom-boy, if possible, but definately girl.
>>
You are a girl!

Now, let's learn a little bit more about you.
What is your background?
Part 1, Parents:

>Child of a gym leader (Specify type) [bonus to knowledge and skills with that type]
>You don't know your parents. You haven't always had the same opportunities as other kids [Bonus to outdoor/street skills, you're a little tougher, start out a little older]
>You only have one parent raising you [Better starting supplies, parent is available to help out a little from time to time]

Is raised by wolves an option?
If not, I vote orphan.

Single Father who doesn't know how to raise a daughter, doesn't talk about our mother since she walked out on him, and us

He works with the proffessor, which is how we got this oppurtunity
>>
>>29247360
Child of Water-type Gym Leader
water has some good random utility (swimming, putting out fires, etc)
>>
>>29247360
>You don't know your parents.
Streetwise tomboy. Tough as nails
>>
>>29247360
your father was a pokemon smuggler and your mother was a professional bounty hunter. They fell in love, but that didn't stop her from bringing him in. After 15 years in prison for poaching, assault, and a few less important crimes, he's out just in time to see you head off on your journey
>>
>>29247360

>>Child of a gym leader (Specify type) [bonus to knowledge and skills with that type]

Steel.
>>
>>29247360
Daughter of a gym leader. Something, something, expectations, something, something, trauma, something, something, Pokemon Contests.

>>29247464
What isn't nowadays?

>>29247482
What type?
>>
Water here Fires for faggots
>>
You didn't know your parents. As an orphan, you spent a lot of time on your streets, learning it's lessons. You've never had anyone you can really depend on. That changes today. You just know that you and your Pokemon will be able to depend on each other. Right?


More background. Choose one:

>Pokemon nerd. You've studied every book on the subject in your every spare moment. You're confident that there is little you don't know.
>Pokemon fan. You've watched every famous match on tv, you never miss a chance to observe a battle. It's finally your turn to get your own fans.
>Athlete. Pokemon are great, but you've always leaned towards physical activities. There's nothing like the blood rushing through your viens to feel alive.
>Troublemaker. You're a little bit of a bad apple, but you've learned a lot about how to get places you shouldn't and how to make other people's things your own. Today you're going to earn your own way.

Athelete. Pokemon are great, but you're nothing if you can't keep up with them. You've been training so that you can be the fastest and strongest Trainer out there
>>
>>29247541
XXY isn't genderbent you ignorant

They're basically man children, but certainly male

unless they take estrogen treatment

XXY individuals can still choose their sexuality organically, you ignorant fuck.

>other
The wild pokemon around you tolerate your presence because you share food and company with them. You've also helped them avoid Trainers and exterminators.
>>
You're a troublemaker. Without any strong authority figures to look up to, you've been living by your own rules. Life's tough, but you're tougher.

Most prized posession:

>A special pokeball you found out in a field [no pokemon inside]
>A top-of-the-line Pokedex. It fell off the truck. Yeah.
>A stylish article of clothing. You just look so great in it! [better first impressions]

We should use it on some super rare pokemon.

You're most prized posession is a flute. It was a donation to the orphanage. Without many friends, you had to do something to pass the time when you weren't causing trouble or fighting. You notice that Pokemon in general seem to like your playing better than most people.

You're ready to start. The Novum City orphanage was surprisingly helpful in getting you your trainers license. You get the impression they were just glad to get rid of you. Nuts to them.

Professor Fir greets you at your arrival. He's expecting you. He has a slightly concerned, apologetic look.

"I know this isn't something you'd like to hear, but I'm afraid there was a robbery. The truck carrying my new lab supplies, as well as the Pokemon and Pokedex I was expecting to come in was hijacked. The driver is alright, but the missing Pokemon concern me." He stops himself laughs nervously, and scratches the back of his neck. "But I'm sure they're fine."

"I'm afraid not. The police tell me it happened between Kindle Town and Chloroville. I'm afraid I have a lot to sort out with the police, the shipping company, and my colleague in Kanto who sent the Pokemon, it may be awhile before there's any progress."


"I feel awful. I know today was supposed to be your big day. It's my first day too. I really wish I had more I could do." He thinks for a moment, then snaps his fingers. "Hey! I know it's not exactly top of the line, but I do have this."

He produces a nearly ancient looking red plastic device. It's covered in scratches and stickers. "It's my old Pokedex. It's not as fancy as some of the new models they have out today, but I can promise it's sturdy."

Judging from all the scratches scuffs, it's hard to doubt that he is tested that hypothesis thoroughly. You're used to getting handouts though, so this isn't so bad.

>"I'll just have to catch my own!"
"I'm not so sure that's a good idea..." He looks at you for a second, sizing you up. "Pokemon can be pretty dangerous if provoked." He seems unsure about condoning that action.

As he's talking, you take the opportunity to pilfer whatever you can. As he's showing all the buttons on the pokedex, you slowly slide in closer to him and take an item out of his pocket. Your hands are quick and nimble. He's too caught up explaining every little scratch and dent and telling a story for each one. It feels like a wallet.

After he wraps up his lesson he starts talking about all the wonders of Pokemon. Whatever. He's looking out the window in his own little world.

This place is still a mess, littered with unpacked boxes. Who knows what might be laying around?

Taking the pokeballs off his desk is easy. This guy seems to be a bit of a scatterbrain. You wonder how someone like that even became a professor.

As you're wondering about that, you notice a small bird Pokemon on a high stack of boxes. You can tell by the way it's reacting that it saw everything. It looks like it's about to start making a lot of noise.

You quickly take out your flute and begin playing a song. The Pokemon in the corner starts flapping it's wings, but quickly stops and cocks it's head to listen.

"Wow, you're pretty good at that!" Professor Fir says. He looks up at the bird in the corner and laughs. "Wow Fletchling. You really enjoy that, huh?" The bird Pokemon doesn't react, it just listens to your song.

Professor Fir looks to you. "That's great, but why did you start playing?" By the way he said 'That's great', you feel that he's not really all that impressed personally, but he's glad Fletchling likes it.

You're used to lying to authority figures, but this is actually the truth. Ever since you were a young girl, Pokemon have mostly reacted well to what you play.

"Is that so." He rubs his chin thoughtfully. "I've heard of Pokemon reacting to certain sounds and music before. That's quiet the talent you have. I hope you're not insulted if I say I'm surprised someone as...tough...as you plays so elegantly."

You're not used to being complimented by adults. It feels pretty nice.

You feel your face get hot. Why'd he have to be so nice? There's no way I could be blushing at something as dumb as that. He's just another authority figure trying to play you into being 'good'. You quickly put a large amount effort to regaining your composure. You politely thank him and leave.

It's early in the morning still, and there's so much to do.

You check the wallet. Not much here for a professor, but you know how to stretch out 'not much'. Beyond that it's just some ID. It's a little disappointing, how boring it is.

He's not THAT much older than you. You were pretty late in getting your license. Getting in trouble all the time will do that. When you finally declared you wanted to be a trainer, the orphanage practically packed your bags. Most other kids were out as soon as they could be, but your run-ins with the law kept you around much longer than anyone wanted.

It's strange. He's so young. He must have been studying his butt off when he was your age. You couldn't imagine how dull that must've been.

As soon as it could legally, but that means it kept us there as long as it was our guardian.

Kids with parents might get to become trainers early since they have a guardian. We had to wait until we could legally be without a guardian before we could be a trainer.

Before you go hunting in earnest, you figure it's a good idea to arm yourself. You grab a metal pipe, just in case. There's one loose enough to pry off the wall.

With a loud CLANG, it comes loose. You try to look for a good hiding spot to see what comes along, but it seems like the noise attracted something. You see a Pokemon quickly approaching, it's a

Wow, this is a lot scarier than you imagined. You decide to try calming it with a flute. Niiiiice doggy.

To your surprise, your song makes it hesitate. It's still glaring at you menacingly, but you see less teeth. You slowly take out your Pokedex and scan it. The Pokedex is a bit loud, and some of the speech fizzes out.

"Houndour, the dark Pokemon. *static* Its ominous howl echoes through the area to announce that this is its territory.
To corner prey, *static*."

You play the flute some more. It seems to be growing more and more calm. Now that it's not growling at you, it actually looks pretty young and cute. Not cute enough for you to let go of the pipe quiet yet, but cute.

You don't think the flute would be as effective on older, stronger Pokemon.

The flute has been good to you all day, so you keep blowing. You're starting to get into it a bit more now. The Houndour starts slowly wagging it's tail, and sites down. As you lose yourself in the tune, it starts to lie down. It's falling asleep!

You slowly take out a Pokeball and lightly toss it at Houndour. (roll d100)

well...here we go.

The problem with raising the realism as high as Ygg did was that you would need background knowledge on everything. Squad tactics, military hierarchies, flora and fauna, scifi telepathy, animal behaviour, psych, engineering, and a lot of other things.

Ygg has...a reasonable amount of background. I don't agree with the way all the situations go, but he's the QM. The problem isn't exactly that /tg/ is ignorant, but that the base knowledge that /tg/ knows on average is not the same as Ygg's.

Some of us know things he doesn't, but a lot of us haven't done the research on this kind of thing. THIS and bad rolls(seriously, Ygg needs to rework enemy rolls) is what leads to conflicting choices and "bad" choices.

None of us have the same assumptions regarding the setting. We can make choices based on genre saviness, but that only gets you so far. Making certain choices in a certain way can force Ygg to do a slight genre shift to suit us, but since we argue with each other and step on each others toes, we can never get a coherent plan going.

Also, Ygg hasn't done too well in trying to fix this, or just talking to the questers in general. Chalk it up to inexperience or poor people skills.

There are ways to salvage this, but at this point, only Ygg can do it, and he's made it hard to contact him due to all the shitposting in the QTGs. I could try telling him on twitter, but that risks being ignored or starting another flame war.

It's in the way you write. Take MGNQ for example. More than once, I recall Decu stalling the story by 1 post to make another option seem more appealing. I don't know if that's still possible with the AoPH community, but there are ways to alter story posts to nudge players. It's not railroading(usually), but getting the players to understand how the QM sees the situation.

>>29249998
Devon, but let's not abuse it.

ditching dice will be better for rollplay experience. There's no need to rely on rolls too heavily. Just use it for chance stuff.

If you really want dice, d20s are safer, if you know what to do with all the 1s and 20s. Just know that crits should never control the story if the plotline is serious. People play for the choices, not the dice rolls.

that's one of the ways Ygg could have saved it. There are times when you need to deviate from the script, even when the players aren't defying it. The point is to create an enjoyable/learnable experience. If Ygg honestly though what happened was stupid, he needed ways to show HOW it was stupid, otherwise we'd be punished for no reason at all. "Splitting up was a bad idea" is way too damn vague, and looking underneath the door was the worst suggestion he could give in that situation.

that assumes that the QM's work is a perfect and rational simulation of the situation, which is generally an arrogant thing to think. Even then, people are irrational. People don't necessarily come to /tg/ to be responsible adults. If Ygg is trying to make a story that's fun, meaningful, or long, he has to be flexible.

looking underneath the door is the kind of stalling I mean. It didn't give much meaningful information, but it made the idea of sticking around more appealing, even though many people voted to GTFO. Seriously, what the hell Ygg? That's exactly the opposite of what you should do in this situation.

>This place is a town in the middle of the forest >We know it should not be here because the forest is full of monsters who have eaten our friends
>It is also the home of a murderous psychic pokemon
>protocol states we gather info and return to base
>we spot a pokemon stated to be "really strong"

I dont think he left out much.

we seduced the pokemon with our soothing song

>>29250551
We don't seduce. People fucking suck. They lie, and they just want to control you. They don't actually give a damn. But Pokemon aren't like that.
