Pokemon Quest Archive: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=Pokemon%20QuestTwitter: https://twitter.com/GobbleQMPokemon, items, and summary: http://pastebin.com/tSNKt0WmFAQ and general concepts: http://pastebin.com/Ht1Q5E1p Themes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4jkHr2MaRoNice playlist: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kJ9wp-mog8&feature=share&list=PL361E683BA95898C0 General rules: There is a 10 minute voting period after each post, and 5 minute voting period for combat votes. Non-contradictory votes will be combined as best as possible. There are occasional roles to keep things organic, but mostly it goes by voters choice. Unless specified otherwise, the best of 3 rolls is the result, and rolling high is good. Write-ins for all votes or always welcome and encouraged. Put your own spin on it, suggest dialogue, add an addendum, or anything else. Just because some options specify to write in, doesn't mean that they aren't welcome for anything else. They may not all make it into the post or be altered to fit in, but I'll do my best to at least try to address the spirit of the write-in. Very important or contentious votes may be redone in a stricter voting system as it comes up.
It's not over yet Ron.
Third for Leech Seed does 4x damage to Rhyhorns.
We should have invested our training three ways instead of focusing on Levi so much.

>>30598445thats nice to know. we're up against a miltank right now though.
>>30598496Stop fucking metagaming.Kat doesn't even know that would happen.
>>30598517"Hey Robin! Can Trunks evolve? What does your Pokedex say?"done
>>30598540>Coming up with a specific question like that out of the blue with nothing to make her wonderNo. That just sounds stupid, and it's still meta-gaming. Why would she just randomly wonder that?
>>30598622Why would you randomly wonder anything, Anon?Not saying I agree with >>30598540, but you're sounding a tad silly
>>30598517>>30598540>>30598622Let's just leave it, for now.
>>30598189Do the rest of /tg/ a favor: when you start a fucking quest thread, fucking put "quest" in the fucking subject line of the fucking quest thread, you fucking fuck.
>>30598662Why don't we just use randomly wondering as an excuse to invite more meta-gaming?
>>30598698This thread is a continuation of a previous one that has past the bump limit you fucking cunt.
>>30598698Don't you give Gobble shit..
>>30598710You're misconstruing my meaning, Anon.
>>30598622>Devon evolves>ask Robin about evolution>"Well Phantump for example evolve by trading."WOW SUCH LOGIC
>>30598724So put "quest" in the fucking subject line. It's a new fucking thread. You fucking submitted it. Put the word "quest" into the subject line before fucking doing so.
>>30598740I'm just saying, randomly wondering is a pretty shitty excuse to invite meta-gaming. I do understand what you mean though.
>>30598698Fuck off
>>30598753I'm sorry, officer. I didn't know I couldn't do that.

>>30598772O good. I happen to agree with you, btw.
You have no idea what to do. You're in a bad position and you know it. You got Raistlin from the casino, and they breed these Pokemon with a lot of special stuff, right?"Raistlin! Use Hidden Power!" You've only heard about that move from your brief studying, but you remember reading that almost all Pokemon can learn it. You try to believe as hard as you can in it. You need this to work!You hear Laura on the other side. "Heal Bell!"A ball of energy flies from Raistlin into Miltank. Amazing! He actually pulled it off! It was small, and didn't seem particularly effective, but Raistlin did it! He pulled it off! A wave of pride washes over you.Your spirits drop as you see the burn fade away from Miltank. You're thrilled that Hidden Power actually went off, but you're in a worse position than before for this match>Confusion>Teleport>Hidden Power again!>Energy Ball (d100)>Call off the match. You've got nothing else>Something else
>>30598797>>30598794>>30598775Because having manners is so fucking hard. Have some respect. The vast majority of these shitthreads at least have the decency to abide by the conventions of /tg/ and include the damn thing the auto-filters them for the people who don't mistake /tg/ for a pbp forum. It's not that hard for you. And you're an awful person if you can't manage it.Also, to be on topic? I vote we see how many pokeballs fit in our large intestine.

>>30598853[x] Surrender. You can't win from this position.Leech Seed was a retarded pick.Raistlin was a retarded pick.We should have easily won this, but fucking morons who refuse to look up even the most basic of mechanics screwed us over.
>>30598930This ain't the games, bluewaffle.
>>30598920Miltank is a physical powerhouse.Abra has a base defense of 15.There is NO WAY for him to win this. None at all.
>>30598930No! We shall NOT give in! We shall NOT give up! We shall PREVAIL
>>30598853>>30595719
>>30598857Could you kindly be less abrasive next time, and stop arguing with the /vp/tards that migrated here? Please filter Gobble's trip as well.Thank you, and have a nice day.
>>30598944things like psychic not being super effective against normal or leech seed being for after you have your other defenses in place don't change.
There's the playerbase I know and loathe
I don't think Milktank has high special defense, right? Shouldn't moves like confusion and Energy Ball do more damage then a physical attack?
C'mon guysCalm down
>>30598986Don't worry. If we lose, then we get some character development about insecurity.And kisses from Robin.
>Very important or contentious votes may be redone in a stricter voting system as it comes up.So much for that eh Gobble?

>>30598189when you make a questyou put quest in the subject titleso the rest of /tg/ doesn't get bothered by your garbagedo you understand this basic concept
>>30599087Maybe you shouldn't take it out on someone that accidentally put the tag in the OP post instead of the subject line on their second thread of the day (notice you don't see first one). Instead you're being an asshole and building resentment among the people that are already going to be defensive of their storyteller.

you guys know trips can be filtered right?It can be like a safety net in case a QM forgets to put one in the subject line (like poor old Gobble did here).I figure it would be more effective than shit posting
>>30599189Yeah it is, a crying one apparently. You're not teaching anyone anything. He already puts quest in the subject line of every other thread. You're just shitposting. Hope you get banned for breaking Global Rule 3.
>epic maymay image macroNo, you please stop. Stop posting, stop reading, stop living.
>>30599239Are you suggesting I filter gropey's larp threads? Because you're a really bad person, if you are.
In this quest, the worst of /vp/ finally bleeds in.
You're proud of Raistlin, and don't want to take him out when he's doing well. "Use Energy Ball! Don't give up!"Once again, he displays his amazing intelligence. He fires off an amazing Energy Ball, nailing Miltank right in the gut."Don't give up! Body Slam!"Miltank leaps into the air. It lands directly on Raistlin with a powerful blow!"Raistlin!"Raistlin looks hurt. Unable to move. With his eyes closed, you'd normally not be sure if he was out. After a blow like that though, you're pretty sure he won't get up.Miltank looks fairly roughed up after the Hidden Power and Energy Ball. She starts walking away, back to Laura.Did you just lose? You feel a pain in your throat and tears in your eyes.>Return Raistlin, congratulate Laura>Refuse defeat! Demand Raistlin gets up!>Return Raistlin, cry.>Something elseI forgot the title and I apologize. I'll try to remember to be more vigilant next time.
>>30599334>Return Raistlin, cry.

>>30599334>Return Raistlin, congratulate LauraYou did well, the two of you.
>Return Raistlin, congratulate Laura
>>30599334>Stop Milktank>Kneel down beside Raistlin"You did really, really well, so I'm going to leave this up to you. If you stop now, I won't hold it against you. Do you want to?"
>>30595719>>30599334
>>30599334REFUSE DEFEAT! NEVER SURRENDER!

>>30599334Thank you, OP. I was the first guy whining about the lack of subject, and I only posted twice here, and am not the all-caps guy. I appreciate your consideration and am sorry that all of my "fucking fuck fucking" was apparently seen as something other than the humour that I intended

>>30599367We could just check to see if Rastlin is even conscious.I don't think he's close enough to evolving yet.
>>30599334Suck it up. Keep it inside. [internally squirm over your first loss]>Check on RaisltinReturn him afterwards anyways, even if there's still some spark in him though, he isn't going to pull it off.
Stiff upper lip.We mope in private later.
>>30599377Thanks. I hope there are no hard feelings. Sorry things got heated in here. I appreciate the post.I was considering remaking it, but then that'd force an older thread down.
I hope this LOL 4X DAMAGE LEECH SEED bullshit doesn't become a regular thing.Honestly Gobble I don't know why you allowed it, or the Stealth Rock rubbish.
>>30599571You're an idiot.1) Gobble's not the one controlling the quest.2) It's not exclusively based on the games, so there's some room for variation.3) Kat's inexperienced, and she's going to make mistakes.4) Quit being so fucking autistic about these things.
>>30599571He didn't 'allow' anything out of the ordinary about Leech Seed. He didn't say anything about it being more effective than usual, just that it gave Trunks a small boost.The Stealth Rocks thing didn't even work, but Vance suggested a situation in which it might.
>>30599595>the guy running the quest is no in control of the questNo, fuck you. QM veto is a thing.>there's some room for variationSure. Doesn't mean Leech Seed will ever be effected by type weakness, or Psychic will ever do double damage to Normal.>mistakesThis was complete and utter retardation. Anyone with even the most basic of knowledge of battle mechanics would have known which options would lead to complete and total failure. Yet those are the options that won.>autisticRight okay.>>30599656I'm saying he shouldn't have allowed those votes to go through, because they were based on obviously-flawed assumptions that Kat herself would have known to be wrong.
You wipe the first tear away and hope nobody noticed. Defeat feels a lot worse than you realized.Is it defeat though? You run over to Raistlin. "Do you want to continue?" You don't want it to be over, but you don't want to push him into it either. Raistlin looks up at you. At least, you think he does, his eyes are still closed. You feel like he wants to communicate something.It's a question. "What do you want?" You want your to be happy, healthy, and safe. You feel like Raistlin can sense that."You did good Raistlin. I'm proud of you." He vanishes in a flash of light.Laura returns her Miltank with similar words. "That was your first loss, wasn't it? It was a good match. Really. You should be proud."In the distance of your mind you hear yourself thanking her an exchanging pleasantries. It takes the sting out of it. You're glad it was her, and not someone who'd make you feel terrible, like that Dick guy."I used to be a trainer like you before settling down. That match really brought back some good memories. If you decide to go to the festival, I'll see you there." Laura gives you a quick hug, and starts walking away. Part contradicts what you felt a second ago. If only she was mean, or terrible to you or her Pokemon, you could lash out.Robin and Vance run over to you. They don't know what to say or do, and there's a clear air of indecision.>Tell them you're fine, let's go>Break down>Hug them both>Something else

Are you trying to make me feel sad, Gobble? Because I don't feel sad, I feel cheated.And, honestly, a little suspicious. That many votes, for options that were obviously poor choices? Looks to me like people were deliberately trying to lose.

You push it way down."I'm fine. Really. I mean, you win some, you lose some, right?"Neither of them seem convinced. Robin gives you a quick hug, and Vance joins in. "Are you sure?"You use the opportunity to wipe away a sniffle and a few tears. "It's not a big deal. It had to happen sooner or later. I'm just glad I lowered the bet." They feel them both chuckle at your joke."Come on, let's get going." You choke back your pain. Your mind races with all the things you should have done better. You're such an idiot! You smile. "What's the hold up?"Vance and Robin exchange a look. "Well, we never really settled on where we're going."Robin steps forward. "Either way works for us. What do you want to do?"Is she giving you the choice out of pity, or is it just them being their usual indecisive selves? You need to come up with an answer quick, before another tear forces itself forward.>Let's go to the festival>Sounds lame. To Braundalin!>Whatever.

"That festival sounded like it could be fun. Let's go!"Robin and Vance mercifully stop looking at you and start packing up."Wait! I should heal my Pokemon first!"Robin puts a hand on your shoulder. "It's OK to let Pokemon rest after a fight. You can use Revives or Potions now if you want, but unless you need them up right away, it's fine to let them rest a bit and come around on their own time."You think for a minute. "Does that mean using Revive or Potions are a bad thing?""No, that's not what I mean. It's just that you don't need to use them right away. Most trainers let their Pokemon rest first, then use Potions or revives to speed it up or if it's an emergency. Items don't have a negative effect as long as you don't rely on them all the time. Pokemon centers are always best."You feel guilty about the loss and want to do something right away. At the same time, you suppose it doesn't hurt let them rest for now.>Heal them with items now>Let them rest. You've done that so far and it hasn't hurt>Ask more questions>Something else

You take out Devon and spray him with a potion to speed up his healing, but leave Raistlin and Trunks alone.You look to Robin. "How did you get to know so much? Can you recommend a book?"Robin keeps her gaze on the path. "My dad has a habit of pushing Pokemon. I don't recommend it." She freezes when she realizes what she said. "I mean, I don't mean... I didn't mean to say I don't recommend having a dad. I just...Oh...Umm."You put a hand on her shoulder, and she stops fidgeting. If you were in a better mood you'd laugh and maybe toy with her a bit.You walk in the back, letting Vance and Robin take the lead. Your shoulders are slumpedThere are a few other people on the road. As you get closer, you can see rows and rows of berry bushes. The colours look pretty from here. After awhile longer, you're able to catch a glimpse of the festival grounds. Just like the flyer promised, there are booths with games, some food vendors, Pokemon rides, and more.Absently, you realize what a golden opportunity this would be to pick pockets. That'd get your mind off things. It's only mid-day. It doesn't look like the event is starting for awhile.>Have fun on a Pokemon ride>Get some food!>Play some booth games>Just wander around>Something else
>>30600868>Ask Robin what she wants to do

There's a strength test machine, some watergun games, a target practice game, a ring toss, and a few others. There's even a shrouded tent with a sign that says Aura Reader on it. You catch Robin rolling her eyes. You pass by them by and head to the rides. "Let's go on a ride, which one do you want to try?" Robin considers your question. She's about to point out a Rhyhorn ride, but catches herself and quickly turns around. "There!" She points to a person with an Onix.It's huge! The man charges a small amount and helps you up, you grab Robin by the hand and pull her up as well.Robin looks down. "Vance, are you coming up?"He shrugs his shoulders. "I'm fine. I'll grab some food and be right back."You wrap Robin's arms around your waist. "Hold tight."The Onix begins to rise slowly and take you and Robin for a ride. "So how do you feel about riding a solid, massive snake like this?" You yell back to her.Her hands hold onto tightly and you're not sure if she heard you. Her screams are half terror and half delight. You have to admit it's pretty fun.The Onix comes around to the start and you get off, helping Robin down. It's just in time for Vance to come back with a massive armful of food.Vance chews down a massive handful. "Haffe fugn?">Play a game>Get an Aura Reading>Oh!

>>30601297>Oh! Look for a fortune tellerTo be perfectly fair, Aura readings and fortune telling sounds like typical carnival hoaxes, until you remember that Aura is an actual thing in the pokemon world, and there are pokemon that can see the future.
>>30601297>>Get an Aura Reading

You're feeling a lot better after that. A little harmless, clean fun is a nice change.You lead Robin and Vance to a fortune tellers tent. Robin stops you. "You don't believe in that stuff, do you?" She's usually less forward about disapproving of things. She must really think it's a bunch of baloney."I believe in having fun. Come on! What have you got to lose?"Vance chimes in. "Your money and self respect."You take a bite of his food as punishment. "Har har!"They joke, but they follow along.The three of you step inside the dark mysterious tent."Welcome! Welcome!" A typically old, small, mole-having, fake-accented woman greets you. Now you roll your eyes. Robin nudges you. "You brought us here, you so don't get to do that." You have to give her that one.Vance steps forward. "We'd umm, like our fortunes told. I guess." The lighting and atmosphere seems to get to him a little."Very well! But these sessions are private! I must warn you they can often reveal extremely personal information. Now, who would like to go first?"Vance and Robin push you forward, and see themselves out.The old woman invites youto sit down, and presents you with some cards, face up. "Do you know what these mean?""No," you answer.She smiles. "Good. Pick one."There's a Zapdos, Articuno, and a Moltres card.>Pick Zapdos>Pick Articuno>Pick Moltres>Reach without looking>Something else

You reach without looking. She takes the card and puts it aside without showing you. "Interesting." She mutters it under her breath, but it's obviously loud enough for you to hear. "The first choice represents your past. It's where you come from." Your life is a little more complicated than something that can be summed up in a card, but you don't say anything.She lays down three more. "We need them all for a full picture.

Once again, you reach without looking. "My my. You certainly have interesting choices."This sounds like whatever she thinks you want to hear, but you indulge.

She takes the three cards that you pulled. You look to see which they were.Oh come on. That's not right. "You pulled a trick! Those three weren't even options."She looks at you. "There are always other options, regardless if you do not see them." She lays down the cards."Lugia. How exciting for an adult. How sad for a child. You must have had troubles. Your early life was not blessed."Lucky guess.Flip."Giritana. You struggle with your dreams. Confusion and doubt haunt you. Things are not as they should be. A reckoning may come. You must be careful. Beware the schemer."Vague and unhelpful.Flip."Ho-Oh. There is revival here, and a blessing. If you persevere, and are lucky, a glorious new life awaits. Trust the leader."You thank her for her time and start to make your way out. "Kat," she says. How does she now your name? You feel your pocket and confirm your ID is still on your person. "You're going to be in a game with higher stakes than just yourself. You'll need to decide what's important to you." You turn back, but the old woman starts to leave her seat, uninterested in any response you might have. "invite your next friend in please."You exit the tent and see Robin and Vance waiting for you. Robin looks up and smiles. "How was it?">Harmless fun. Don't worry about it>Ominous, you're freaked out>You have a bright future ahead!>Something else (write-in)

"Apparently tonight we make love and you end up pregnant."Robin blushes at the thought, then stops and hits you on the shoulder. "Pregnant! Funny!" The festival seems to have made her a little more playful. Maybe it's just that a lot of the tension between you two has turned into something else."She said I have a bright future, but I didn't need her to say anything. I've got you guys." They can't handle the corniness. There's a mix of 'aww' and 'boo'.Vance and Robin both take their turns. Robin's skeptical look is gone, but she smiles. "I'm supposed to have a happy future, or be a hero. It depends on The Gambler.""Woo, mysterious!" Vance laughs. "I'm tied up with The Gambler too. Everything should be good as long as he's lucky or smart or something." He isn't taking it seriously, but you can't blame him. "Uxie says I should trust The Guide for now.

>>30603069We're THE GUIDE
>>30603069We can sacrifice Vance instead
>>30603090But then, who's the schemer?
>>30603090No we're not.
>>30603105That museum doctor with the Magnezone. Dude was planning something
>>30603090we're both, Vance's guide and a fucking gambler.Schemer will be our rival/crime organization head
>>30603090Pretty sure Robin is the guide. You know, since thats literally most of what she does on the team.Kat however gambled everything on becoming a trainer being a good idea, goes into fights with no fucking idea and is actually a gambler.
Guise. We're the wildcard!
>>30603114>>30603105We're the one guiding Vance from his old life and into his new.How is that not obvious?
>>30603136Yeah that's a good point. I think that Kat is the Gambler, Robin is the Guide, would that make Vance the Leader?
>>30603090>>30603105Vancee and Robin are both tied to us. Plus we got rich via gambling. We're the gambler. The schemer may be that buttfuck with a magneton and we might not have meet the guideOr its all bullshit
>>30603136But we're still the one who brought it all together and direct it.
>>30603168This is getting confusing. Let's just go catch a Xatu and get a straight answer.
>>30603168We fucking got rich gambling twice, and we are connected to both of them. If we were the guide robin would have some tie. The gamblers the one they both mentioned. Stop being stupid
>>30603160I'm guessing this makes even less sense in context.
>>30603176And, of course, the titles could be different for each of them. So, the Guide for one may not be the Guide for the other. Who knows. Treat it like one of those prophecies that can be fullfilled a great many ways, and then do our own thing regardless.And keep in mind those we wish to keep safe, as that was straight out advice and worth keeping anyways.
>>30603210I don't think it meant Gambler in the literal sense of the word, as in with money. Or someone who is actually a professional Gambler
>>30603248It could be. Fucking gypsies are tricky as fuck

Thanks everyone. I know this wasn't the strongest (or fastest) one. Not fishing for compliments.How does everyone feel about the combat system? Too be honest I feel there's room for improvement. Should we roll more dice? Suggest different uses for moves instead of just listing them?Suggestions very welcome on that and anything else.
>>30603274...and I was right.
>>30602918wat r u doing /tg/We have to find Laura so she can advance the plotOtherwise why the dick did we come here (on a meta level)
>>30603313you gotta ask yourself Gobble...Which do you want this quest to emulate more? the games or the anime?
>>30603313I think giving it more flexibility in use might bog it down a little, because not only would we have to determine what move to use, then we'd have to argue about how to use it. Regular Pokemon battles are glorified rock/paper/scissors/dinosaur/phaser/Spock matches, so it doesn't lend itself well to a narrative form. Besides, you never really see them be specific about it in the show... and with the mentality of a lot of /tg/-ers, do you really want a bunch of votes for Trunks to Horn Leach something in the eye to get a bonus to evasion or something?
>>30603313you fucking rock man, this is honestly the highlight of my sunday.
>>30603324Who gives a fuck. Why are you so obsesed with her? We're not on some linear path
>>30603313I absolutely think we should be rolling dice. Especially considering how we've stopped doing anything non-battle related that requires dice rolls.It doesn't have to make the quest hard, just make it like an actual tabletop [traditional] game.
>>30603313S'fine.Make it less game-y and more anime-y, maybe? I dunno, really.Thanks for running, Gobble.
>>30603313More flare.
>>30603385I disagree, except on moves that have a chance of failure or limited attacks (Fury Swipes, etc).
>>30603313I think we should roll more.Also, what does Kat's trainer ID say on it? Kat? Her "real" name?
>>30603381Because she beat us. Doesn't it naturally follow that we would want to seek her out at this event she invited us to and learn more about her? She probably knows a lot about upper level shit in this setting, to boot.>We're not on some linear pathThanks, eagle eye.
>>30603457>Doesn't it naturally follow that we would want to seek her out at this event she invited us to and learn more about her?no. Though I don't ask for help because I believe it's a sign of incompetence
>>30603457No? Losses happen, why would we want to seek her out for that? Just enjoy the damn festival
>>30603486Your young life must have sucked ass.
you forgot how cruel she can be, didn't you?
>>30603313I would suggest putting a tiny blurb after every move during battles. Just so the masses can remember what the moves actually do.
>>30603535Yeah, it did.It didn't actually. The one regret I have is that I didn't take warning that childhood is the best time of your life and you should take advantage of it.
>>30603313Gobble I really enjoy this quest everytime.>>30603391I agree with this anon, I'd reallly like to be able to use the moves in strange ways in conjunction with our environment. So more like the anime, I guess.
>>30603486>I don't ask for help because I believe it's a sign of incompetenceThat's a pretty awful character trait to have.But anyway, I didn't say anything about asking for help.>>30603506:| she's like clearly the strongest trainer we've encountered yet. I don't geddit.But, if /tg/ feels otherwise, oh well.
>>30603571Speaking as somebody who has not managed to escape adolescence... yeah, childhood's nice, but I wish I'd spent childhood actually buckling down and getting shit straight.
>>30603599>:|You disgust me.
>>30603599Then what's this > She probably knows a lot about upper level shit in this setting, to boot.
>>30603612That's great;)
>>30603344I was thinking games originally, but they don't lend themselves to interesting narrative battles. Definitely come to want to do it like the anime/manga.>>30603373Well thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it. It's the highlight for me too>>30603447Her 'real' name.Great input here. I really appreciate it. Please don't hesitate to include more ideas, suggestions, etc. I'll be heading off, but I'll check back in and consider everything.You make my day guys. I hope you have a great day! Next quest most likely Tuesday or Wednesday. I'll try to give as much advance warning as possible
>>30603486>>30603571Are you me?Do you also avoid doing anything new and challenging, because it's so easy to coast in your areas of competence, and failure is unbearable?
>>30603599She only won because everyone wanted to pick one of the most physically weak pokemon in the game who only knows like three moves
>>30603658Jokes on you, failure was my area of expertise
>>30603666I'm under the impression that her Miltank had us pretty fucked pretty much any way we sliced it.
>>30603649>Definitely come to want to do it like the anime/manga.then you have your answer. go. and consume the animu and mango, watch battles, learn battles.aim for the hornfinish it off with false swipecounter shield
>>30603693Well, our Horsea knew outrage. That would have hit Milktank pretty hard.
>>30603693Vance need Miltank for protein.
>>30603658>Do you also avoid doing anything new and challenging, because it's so easy to coast in your areas of competence, and failure is unbearable?No. I'll take challenges, but I'd rather figure it out on my own. If I was scared of failure, or being wrong, I dunno, I guess I would be someone that doesn't do things.Point being I find it more satisfying doing things on my own.
>>30603712True, we could have done [far] better, but moreover I think Gobble wanted to introduce our first loss. It seems like it's about time. I think he made it pretty clear how this was going to go down in the language he used when setting up the battle.
