Rise of the Rockets Discussion Topic

Parugi · April 25, 2016

Hm... Well, come to think of it, one alternative would be to pick and choose which ones are purified and which ones aren't, and just avoid retcons altogether. Scott Stone's Exeggcute, for instance, should probs just be considered purified at this point, but Jayron still having Shadow Pokémon and Mercury getting this Shadow Onix could lend itself to a future plot collaboration.

That is, of course, assuming any of you are interested in that idea, and that you'd be willing to collaborate with me. : p

Konuju · April 26, 2016

A Shadow Pokémon plot collaboration sounds interesting, and it'd definitely be a way to help keep Jayron relevant.

Parugi · April 26, 2016

Excellent.

And on an unrelated note--048/Teaser #47.

MELON LORD · April 26, 2016

I'd be down for Collab.

Konuju · April 26, 2016

Excellent.

And on an unrelated note--048/Teaser #47.

Interesting. Those needles are making me think of a voodoo doll. Unless of course they're just supposed to be in the background, in which case I'm looking forward to facing our first seamstress villain. =P

Although even in silhouette form it seems to evoke more feelings of suffering than villainy. And now suddenly I'm getting Undertale True Lab vibes. *shudder*

Parugi · April 28, 2016

So my legit 6-year tribute isn't ready yet, but in the meantime--in the words of DJ Khaled...

Another one. (58)

And another. (56)

Metal Gear Minun · April 29, 2016

That's okay Pears, everything I planned on doing for the anniversary didn't pan out. I'll get to doing some of them when I have the time to.

Parugi · May 10, 2016

Proposed Pokémon: Absol (Alt)

Appearance: Head scythe extends downwards further and ends in a point, has a serrated edge. Fur is darker, canine fangs and claws are longer and sharper. Tail blade is shorter, also serrated. Legs are thicker. The 'wings' gained as Meg Absol are not covvered with fur/feathers, instead giving them a black, bat-like appearance.

Mega Ability: Pure Power

Stat Distribution:
-ATK: 130 => 130
-SPA: 75 => 75
-DEF: 60 -> 110 (+50)
-SPD: 60 -> 110 (+50)
-SPE: 75 => 75

So, if no one has any further comments on it, then this is good by me. Did we decide to add Fighting as a secondary type?

MELON LORD · June 7, 2016

Yes, fighting as a secondary type.

Now, what was I coming here for?

Parugi · June 14, 2016

Hey everyone. I want to take a more-thorough census of each Pokémon's representation in the RPG. Could everyone reply here with a list of their named characters' (PC and NPC) Pokémon?

Konuju · June 14, 2016

First of all, there is this thing that Blade put together. But I'll humor you.

Ryan Sanders: Typhlosion (Quil), Togekiss (Togie), Garchomp, Samurott, Mismagius (Missy), Flaafy (Ampere), Entei, Aggron

Dack Majors: Swellow, Luxray, Bastiodon, Servine, Teddiursa (Teddy)

Ellen Burks: Duosion (Duo), Mienshao (Artemis), Purrloin (Chrono), Grotle (Maturin), Oddish (Isabella)

Paul Burks: Bisharp, Torkoal (Kimber), Skarmory (Scar), Herdier (Terry)

Zoe Llyan: Fennekin (Esmeralda), Meditite (Merida), Feebas (Eilonwy)

Shannon Willows: Furret (Selena), Dunsparce (Sousa)

Hannah Wright: Staraptor, Gardevoir, Ditto, Rapidash, Noivern

Jayron Aaron: Lucario, Absol (Enhanced Shadow), Servine, Zweilous (Enhanced Shadow), Metagross, Swampert, Weavile, Sceptile, Flygon

(and arguably a Deoxys and two Mew)

NPCs:

Madison: Froslass (Anzu)

Luke: Machoke

~~Matthew: Skorupi~~ (Matthew died in the Snowpoint Avalanche. I never specified his Skorupi's fate.)

Adam: Abomasnow, Lairon (could be an Aggron now, it was last seen two years ago)

Kevin: Geodude

Alaina: Spearow

Drew: Buizel

Kiri: Pidgey (although I'm half-tempted to retcon it into a Swablu)

Arddwyr: Tailow

Clearly the trademark trait of a Kon NPC is having only one Pokémon. (with the sole exception of Dack's rival Adam) There were also a number of Rocket NPCs I made for Celadon. Let me know if you want me to list out their Pokémon as well.

Don't be a nub.

There were also a number of Rocket NPCs I made for Celadon. Let me know if you want me to list out their Pokémon as well.

I don't need you to, but I wouldn't mind if you did.

Anyway, thanks, friends!

**Blessed Blade** · June 15, 2016

Yeah, I, um, didn't totally finish the other one, since I went by Pokemon then character, instead of vice versa... so, this'll help with updating that better too ^^;

Metal Gear Minun · June 15, 2016

I might add the Celadon NPCs.

James: Scizor (Lancelot), Gardevoir (Guinevere), Togekiss (Galahad), Weavile (Mordred), Swampert (Gawain), Chandelure (Percival)

Spoiler Character:

Spoiler (Spoiler), Spoiler (Spoiler), Spoiler (Spoiler), Spoiler (Spoiler), Spoiler (Spoiler), Spoiler (Spoiler), Spoiler (Spoiler)

Parugi · June 15, 2016

K, so I've added everything together that I have so far (18 pages of Pokémon and who owns them. ) I'm looking for information on Team Zephyr and any other NPCs that you guys know of that aren't already listed with Pokémon on the "Minor Characters" pages on the Wiki. I'm probably going to track down most of that information myself tomorrow, but if anyone wants to beat me to the punch, I don't mind at all.

(Also, Merc, Alku, and JiM--I went through this topic for information on your characters, but it'd be awesome if you could still post lists for them (and related NPCs) just so that I can double-check that my information is accurate/complete.)

Konuju · June 16, 2016

Totally forgot my canon-NPCs.

Karen: Umbreon, Houndoom, Absol, Zoroark

Morty: Gengar, Dusknoir, Sableye, Golett/Golurk (the first three were used during his battle against Jason Alco in the old topic, while the Golett was intended to be given to Jake Soren. Golett's probably staying on Morty's team, but I haven't decided if he evolved it into a Golurk)

Palmer: Cresselia, Milotic, Dragonite, Rhyperior

and while we're at it...

Rocket Commander Raphael Ballard: Mawile, Nidoking, Aggron(?), Gothitelle(?),Gigalith (it was unclear if the Aggron and Gothitelle belonged to Ballard or to other Rockets he commanded; the Aggron at least was implied to belong to someone else)

Leigh Rosemary: Carnivine

Natalie Dexter: Aipom, Fletchinder (originally belonged to Ashley Tango)

Ashley Tango (dead): Salamence (dead), Gliscor (dead), Mantyke, Remoraid, Fletchinder, Sigilyph (all four remaining Pokémon have been adopted by various Celadonians, Fletchinder by Natalie Dexter)

Captain George: Manectric, Growlithe (Amber)

Peter: Magneton, Kadabra

Also for the record, Arddwyr used to have a Leavanny, but it died. I've edited that into my earlier post.

MELON LORD · June 16, 2016

Alright, for my PCs:

Xander Cruize: Gardevoir, Fennekin, Eevee, and Staryu

Mercury: Lucario, Lapras, Absol

Belle: Dragonair, Metang, Bagon, and Goomy

Alma's Master: Team TBD.

Thanks for doing this by the way. Poor James, he has three of the biggest "repeat offenders". I really didn't mean to do that. I blame society...

Wait a sec, why no legends counted ;-;.

Time for my check list

Familes:

Gen 1: All of them

Gen 2: Togepi and Sneasel, yes; Cyndaquil and Gligar, no

Gen 3: All but Absol and Snorunt, and I'm the only reason Clamperl is on this list at all.

Gen 4: Chimchar and Hippopotas (and Rotom if you count Roddy)

Gen 5: Only Snivy if you count Roddy. None if you don't.

Gen 6: None.

Gen 7: N/A

Overall: Ralts, Mudkip, Scyther, Togepi, Chimchar, Magikarp, Hippopotas, Eevee, Beldum, Sneasel and ALL the Clamperls (Plus Rotom and Snivy if you count Roddy)

Individual Pokemon: Gardevoir, Swampert, Scizor, Togekiss, Hippowdon, Weavile and ALL the Clamperls (plus Rotom and Servine if you count Roddy).

Parugi · June 29, 2016

I had a few conflicting thoughts on counting Legendaries, tbh. On the one hand, it'd be more accurate to count them when taking into account individual trainer teams, but on the other hand, there are some Legends that strictly are one-member only, like Landorus, so counting the frequency of those Legends doesn't make a lot of sense when there's only one individual of the species that can appear at all. But, I don't know--I might do a separate, Legends-only count at some point, just probably not any time soon. X3

Also, I want to make clear--the census isn't a way for me to call people out for not being original or anything. I was more interested in figuring out how many Pokéon overall have been used by notable characters, since it's something we've talked about in the past. Although it would be cool to diversify the number used by our main PCs, as far as the game world itself goes, in general we've been pretty good about using an array of Pokémon.

Edited June 29, 2016 by Parugi

Konuju · July 1, 2016

About time I updated this, given it looks like my adoption of Jayron is going to be more than just a one-time subplot. I'm open to suggestions if you think I've misinterpreted the personalities of some of his Pokémon.

Username: Umbra of Doom (adopted by Konuju)

Name: Jayron Aaron

Faction: Team Liberty.

Hometown: Fuchsia City, Kanto

Age: 16 (15 at the start of the RPG; birthday apparently sometime between August and October?)

Appearance: Jayron dresses in a green suit jacket over a black shirt with dark gray pants. His green fedora covers his dark red/auburn hair. He tends to wear black, fingerless gloves, although these are often covered by a second pair of gloves that once belonged to Sir Aaron. He stands moderately tall for his age with brown eyes. He also carries a shoulder pack for items.

Personality: Jayron tends to be a helpful, cautious person. He has a calm attitude, even if a situation looks bad. He will often provide assistance when he's needed, though he prefers to travel alone (alongside his Pokémon). He is very knowledgeable about Pokémon and their strengths and weaknesses, although this can occasionally lead to overconfidence. He also cares for his Pokémon and prefers to avoid battles when his Pokémon aren't feeling up to it. As both an aura wielder and an executive, Jayron takes his responsibilities seriously. He tries to remain calm, even under the stresses of leadership. He has harbored a great dislike for Team Rocket ever since they destroyed his ninja school, but in the current ceasefire he sees Ford as a greater threat.

Background: Born in Fuchsia City, Jayron spent his early years at a ninja school under the training of Koga. One day Team Rocket found the school and destroyed it. Jayron fled the burning school and drifted out on a raft through the Seafoam Islands. Almost a month later, he found himself on a deserted island near the Sevii Islands. There he befriended a Riolu, who helped him find a way off the island. Jayron traveled with his new companion to Four Island, where he joined Team Liberty. It was there that he learned that he was distantly related to the legendary Sir Aaron (hence his last name). Throughout his time at Team Liberty Jayron helped recruit a number of Pokémon and trainers as part of Operation R.A.L.L.Y. while continuing to train himself and his now-evolved Lucario to master their aura powers. After showing exemplary work in a number of missions, Jayron was promoted to an executive within Team Liberty, a role he sees as more a responsibility than a title.

Pokémon: Lucario, Absol (Enhanced Shadow), Servine, Zweilous (Enhanced Shadow), Metagross, Swampert (Aqua), Weavile (Scythe), Sceptile (Leafy), Flygon, Mew, Mew (Midnight), Deoxys

Species: Lucario (male)

Nickname: none

Trainer: Jayron Aaron

Appearance: He bears a light-blue mark on each of his palms. The marks glow blue when he uses aura-based attacks.

Personality: Lucario first met Jayron as a Riolu on a deserted island by the Sevii Islands. Since then, the two have formed an unbreakable bond. They often communicate telepathically with each other and the rest of Jayron's Pokémon. Outside of Jayron, however, Lucario is rather quiet and tends to not speak his mind until he has gathered all the facts.

Ability: Steadfast

Specialty: As one of Jayron's most intelligent Pokémon, Lucario specializes in strategy. He has proven on more than one occasion that he can hold his own even without Jayron's help. Lucario taught Jayron's other Pokémon how to speak through telepathy, and has even commanded them in battle.

Known Moves: Aura Sphere, Bone Rush, Extremespeed, Dark Pulse, Psychic, Heal Pulse

Number of Battles: 18 (Old Topic (7+?), Energon (x2), Cianwood (x2), Litpoo (Munna), Weepth (Amber/Manectric (x2)), Rixy (Feraligatr), Viapois (Koga/Deoxys (x2)), Unown)

Species: Absol (female, Enhanced Shadow Pokémon)

Nickname: none

Trainer: Jayron Aaron

Appearance: The oval on her head has a crimson mark in the center of it, matching the evil red glow of her eyes. Her fur was once a dark grey, but the darkness has faded somewhat as Jayron started to befriend her.

Personality: Despite Jayron's attempts to befriend her, Absol remains quiet and distant. She will fight when she is needed, but outside of combat she prefers to seclude herself.

Ability: Super Luck

Specialty: As an Enhanced Shadow Pokémon, Absol is capable of manipulating aura. She doesn't have enough control to use attacks like Aura Sphere, but she can sense auras well enough to give her an edge in battle by predicting opponents' moves.

Known Moves: Night Slash, Psycho Cut, Double Team, Detect, Mean Look (egg move), Megahorn (egg move)

Number of Battles: 5 (Feraligatr, Liptoo (Munna), Rixy (Feraligatr), Viapois (Koga/Deoxys (x2)))

Species: Servine (female)

Nickname: none

Trainer: Jayron Aaron

Appearance: Remains quite small for its species.

Personality: Servine has undergone extensive training with Scythe, Jayron's Weavile. As such, she has developed a somewhat serious take on battling, but remains friendly and energetic outside of battle.

Ability: Contrary

Specialty: Increased Special Attack

Known Moves: ~~Leaf Tornado~~ Leaf Storm, Leech Seed, Mirror Coat (egg move), Twister (egg move), Mega Drain, Wring Out

Number of Battles: 10 (Old Topic (4), Reward Evolution (+3 EXP), Rixy (Feraligatr), Viapois (Koga/Deoxys (x2)))

Species: Zweilous (female, Enhanced Shadow Pokémon)

Nickname: none

Trainer: Name of trainer here

Appearance: A constant cloud of darkness hangs over her. Her aura burns a fiery purple.

Personality: As an Enhanced Shadow Pokémon, Zweilous was made for combat. She will often let her rage consume her, to the point that she will continue to attack her enemies long after they have been defeated. Jayron has tried to teach her to know when a battle is won, but Zweilous is hasty and her primal instincts combined with the enhanced shadow effect make her difficult to control.

Ability: Hustle

Specialty: Unlike Absol, Zweilous is not skilled with aura. As such she cannot use her Shadow abilities as well as Absol. Despite this, her raw power makes her one of the most powerful of the Shadow Pokémon.

Known Moves: Dragon Pulse, Roar, Hyper Voice, Dark Pulse (egg move), Earth Power (egg move)

Number of Battles: 7 (Old Topic (4), Rixy (Feraligatr), Viapois (Koga/Deoxys (x2)))

Species: Metagross

Nickname: none

Trainer: Jayron Aaron

Appearance: Has yellow eyes instead of red ones.

Personality: Metagross 'speaks' in clicks and beeps, making it difficult for the rest of the team to understand it. Lucario is the only one who understands what it's saying. Despite the communication barrier, Metagross is a bold Pokémon and extremely loyal to Jayron and the rest of the team.

Ability: Clear Body

Specialty: As a thousand-pound hunk of metal, Metagross specializes in hitting things. Hard. It can also take a beating, being one of Jayron's most defensive Pokémon.

Known Moves: Magnet Rise, Ice Punch, Meteor Mash, Psychic, Hammer Arm, Iron Defense

Number of Battles: 12 (Old Topic (9+?), Rixy (Feraligatr), Viapois (Koga/Deoxys (x2)))

Species: Swampert (female)

Nickname: Aqua

Trainer: Jayron Aaron

Appearance: Aqua has bluish-green skin, the result of growing up in the waters around Evergrade City.

Personality: Jayron caught Aqua in Evergrande City when he was fishing. She's a jolly Pokémon and Jayron's main source of water transport. She can appear somewhat aloof but knows to be serious in battle.

Ability: Torrent

Specialty: Aqua specializes in physical attacks.

Known Moves: Mirror Coat (egg move), Waterfall, Mud Bomb, Ice Punch, Earthquake, Hammer Arm

Number of Battles: 16 (Old Topic (9+?), Energon (x2), Weepth (Amber/Manectric (x2)), Rixy (Feraligatr), Viapois (Koga/Deoxys (x2)))

Species: Weavile (female)

Nickname: Scythe

Trainer: Jayron Aaron

Appearance: Has larger ear feathers like a male Weavile, and has a scar on her side from a fight she lost with her pack.

Personality: Scythe was abandoned by her pack and forced to live on her own until Jayron found and saved her. The experience hardened her, but she learned to take her frustration and anger and focus it into her training. She is very serious and when she is not training herself, she will train Jayron's other Pokémon.

Ability: Pressure

Specialty: Like a ninja, Scythe specializes in speed and stealth. The scar on her side is a constant reminder of her frailty, and so she trains to take out her enemies before they have a chance to attack.

Known Moves: Night Slash, Quick Attack, Aerial Ace, Dig, Brick Break, Ice Punch

Number of Battles: 7 (Old Topic (7+?))

Species: Sceptile (male)

Nickname: Leafy

Trainer: Jayron Aaron

Appearance: Looks the same as a normal Sceptile.

Personality: Jayron received Leafy as an egg from a dying Liberty agent. Having been with Jayron since birth, Leafy has a deep trust in his trainer. When not in battle he is very relaxed and enjoys climbing the trees around Four Island.

Ability: Overgrow

Specialty: Jayron was able to train Leafy from birth, and he taught him the art of camouflage. Given almost any sort of greenery, Leafy can seemingly vanish, becoming one with his namesake.

Known Moves: Dragon Pulse, Energy Ball, X-Scissor, Quick Attack, Leaf Storm, Detect

Number of Battles: 16 (Old Topic (7+9+?))

Species: Flygon (male)

Nickname: none

Trainer: Jayron Aaron

Appearance: Larger than normal, and slightly darker in color.

Personality: As a Trapinch he was very irritable and almost constantly in a bad mood about something or other. As a Flygon his personality has changed drastically. Now he has become docile and carefree.

Ability: Levitate

Specialty: As a Trapinch he couldn't fly, so naturally he spends most of his time enjoying his wings. He specializes in flying, being able to perform tricky aerodynamic movements at high speeds.

Known Moves: Dig, Dragon Claw, Crunch, Fire Punch, Screech, Sandstorm

Number of Battles: 16 (Old Topic (7+9+?))

Species: Mew

Nickname: none

Trainer: Cyan Vero (befriended by Jayron Aaron)

Appearance: No difference

Personality: Mew is a very docile Pokémon. She was befriended by Cyan Vero, who helped protect her from Team Rocket. Although her bond with Cyan is stronger, she has befriended Jayron as well. Jayron holds a special flute that he can use to summon Mew in an emergency.

Ability: Synchronize

Specialty: Mew specializes in special attacks.

Known Moves: Psychic, Metronome, Transform, Aura Sphere, Heal Bell, Teleport

Number of Battles: ?

Species: Mew

Nickname: Midnight

Trainer: Jayron Aaron (OT Dara Trina)

Appearance: Has a crescent-shaped birthmark on the back of its head that sparkles.

Personality: Midnight was first found by Dara Trina in Cerulean Forest. Dara helped defend her when three Energon agents tried to capture and drain her. After Dara helped her regain her strength, the Mew decided to travel with her. This led her to Unova, where Dara left her in the care of Jayron Aaron. Jayron promised to protect her and gave her the nickname Midnight. Midnight is much more timid than Cyan's Mew, but she knows her strength and will step up to fight when she is needed.

Ability: Synchronize

Specialty: Having spent time in Jayron's care, Midnight has begun to develop her aura abilities. She has learned to read auras and manipulate her own to perform more advanced aura techniques like Aura Barrier and Aura Needles.

Known Moves: Metronome, Teleport, Aura Sphere, Psychic, Transform, Dazzling Gleam (TM move)

Number of Battles: ?

Species: Deoxys

Nickname: none

Trainer: Name of trainer here

Appearance: No difference.

Personality: Jayron captured Deoxys on Iron Island with the help of Riley. He fought alongside Jayron during the Paradise battles, but the two didn't truly bond until Deoxys used Jayron's blood to heal himself. Now the two share an inseparable bond. Despite this, Deoxys is a lonely Pokémon. After spending so many years alone, he is not used to sharing such a close bond with someone, so he often spends time on his own.

Ability: Pressure

Specialty: Deoxys excels in special attacks.

Known Moves: Psychic, Hidden Power (Fighting), Shadow Ball, Calm Mind, Zap Cannon, Recover

Number of Battles: ?

For the record, Midnight only had five moves listed so I added Dazzling Gleam, which helps differentiate her from Cyan's Mew. I debated whether or not to include Cyan's Mew in this list, but it was on Jayron's original wiki page and he does have that flute (before the Eon Flute was a thing!) so I figured I might as well just give it a profile. I don't intend on using all three legendaries at once, they're just listed for reference. I'm considering making Midnight his main legendary.

Dunno if this was ever approved. Also no Skype records asking about Megahorn not being affected by No Guard. It's not a problem but whaddup with that?

Looks good.

Metal Gear Minun · September 21, 2016

I thought the rule was that young Pokemon with OP egg-moves need some sort of nerf until they can control them. Since No Guard can't help Agravain's Megahorn, he's left with a very strong but inaccurate attack.

Parugi · September 21, 2016

Ah, kk. Yeah, defs wasn't thinking of it in those terms. X3 Looks good!

Slooooooooooow in getting this approval out.

But Slowra looks good. Just gonna point out that she only has 5 moves, but at this point I trust that was intentional.

Flipz · December 22, 2016

So hey, thought I'd mention I'm around again, and given that there's not really a convenient point to jump back in to the topic itself, I've been working on a short story for the short stories topic in the meantime (that's still a thing, right?). Anyway, really enjoyed reading everything while getting caught up, and looking forward to seeing the rest of the Ford finale!

Konuju · December 27, 2016

Welcome back, Flipz! Sorry for the late reply, Christmas and such. ^^" But glad to hear you're making a comeback. The short stories topic is most definitely still a thing (in fact, that reminds me that I still have a couple short stories of my own that I've been procrastinating....). Glad you had a fun read, I'll have to reread through some of the older stuff myself for nostalgia's sake. Cheers, and looking forward to your official return! ^_^

Parugi · December 29, 2016

yo, Flipz.

Announcements as of my last post:

Human powers (psychics, Aura, etc.) are slowly trickling back. In-game they'll be fully restored within a day.
Pokémon abilities/moves/powers/whatever are still deactivated for the time being.
