Team Chronos is an underground mafia/gang based in Black City. They are notorious in their endeavors and plague the land in order to learn the hidden secrets of the ancient Pokemon, who they wish to control and use to claim dominance over the land.

Long ago, it was said that the Rainbow Ball was created by teams of expert Pokeball makers in order to stop the Legendary Pokemon, capturing them, and sealing them away in the depths of dark places that few would ever venture. There were 7 Legends sealed away.

Rayquaza, a large dragon of great might.
Kyogre, lord of the sea.
Groudon, lord of the land.
Dialga, lord of time.
Palkia, lord of space.
Mewtwo, a man-made Pokemon created used to combat these legends.
Mew, the mysterious Pokemon whose essence was used in creating Mewtwo. Considered a potential threat, it too was sealed away.

These seven Pokemon, if all unleashed again, could reek havoc on the continent of Yaska, and the ambitious Murray, leader of Team Chronos, is willing to do whatever it takes to find the secrets of their location, and how to unlock the Rainbow Balls that keep them bound away.

Team Chronos' influence is widespread, and plagues nearly ever inch of Yaska. Murray has an army of loyal subordinates who also share his dream, and will follow him to the end to see it through. Team Chronos is only opposed by police authorities across the land, and due to their smaller numbers, keeping the peace has been difficult. Maybe a great hero will rise up and disband Team Chronos...

The Battle system in this is going to be turned based, just like the Pokemon games. When in a battle, unless the attack is a surprise attack, the first attack goes to the Pokemon with greater speed. From there, you have a multitude of attacks of varying types and damages, each with their own individual stats. Let's look at a staple of the Pokemon world, the Tackle attack.

Tackle: Normal, 2 ATK, 85 Hit, 5 Crit

So in order it's

-Type of Move (To determine weaknesses/resistances of the opponent, as well as STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus))
-Base Damage as well as whether the added damage comes from the Pokemon's Attack or Special Attack stat.
-Hit Rate. (Only altered by supports and conditions)
-Critical Hit Rate. (Only altered by supports and conditions)
-Although not seen here, any added affects will be tacked on to the end of the move, such as the chance of the move causing the opponent to be poisoned, and so forth.

The Battle Formula is this

(Pokemon (Sp.)Attack + Base (Sp.)Attack) + (1/5)(Pokemon Attack, if same type attack bonus is in use, otherwise plug in 0) - Opponent (Sp.)Defense = (Damage Done x (0)/(1/4)/(1/2)/(1)/(2)/(4) ) = Total Damage x Critical Hit (1 or 3, depending on whether it's a critical or not)

The last numbers represent weakness and resistances from as follows

-Immunity (No Damage)
-1/4x Damage - Dual Resistance
-1/2x Damage - Single Resistance
-1x Damage - No Resistance/No Weakness
-2x Damage - Single Weakness
-4x Damage - Double Weakness

Double Attacking works like this

+3 Attack Speed gives you a 1.5x attack bonus, as in you do the first attack for normal damage, with a second attack at half.

+6 Attack Speed gives you a 2x attack bonus, with two normal damage attacks.

Each move has its own AS reduction. To determine the difference you calculate Attacker's AS - Defender's speed.

It's a fairly simple formula, so doing the battles will be quick & easy.

Leveling Up

Leveling up works much more like the Fire Emblem style of leveling. You gain experience out of 100, and every 100 points gained is a new level up, giving the player 3 stat points to implement in any stat of their choice, however, you may not pile on points in one stat, and must distribute them to three different stats.

Evolution will be based on the levels used in the canon Pokemon games. Any other kind of evolution that is not based on a level up has a modification to it, which will be its own level up, which is a hidden number that you will have to wait & find out for yourself. Stone-based evolutions are still to be used in this game as well, but be wary, stones are expensive & elusive.

At evolution, you gain 10 stat points to distribute amongst your stats, however you may not place more than 3 points in any one stat during this process.

The Experience Formula will work like this -

(Opponent's level - Your level) + 10 = Experienced Earned. (If EXP<0, automatically one point)

Each hit or miss will net you half of the points earned from this formula. Any knockout/KO will reward triple experience.

So here's an example

(5 - 4) + 10 = 11 (Hits get 5 (Rounded down), misses get 1, & a KO nets 33)

However, EXP gained per hit/miss is ignored when a KO against the opponent is made. Only in a situation where the User's Pokemon battles and does not score a KO, do the hits & misses get calculated

It's not overly complicated overall, so I hope this will be an easy & fun time for us all.

Supports are something implemented in the Fire Emblem series, and are bonds between characters that are earned over time that boost each character's skills when near each other. In this game, I'll be implementing supports between trainers, and the support bonuses go into effect during double battles in which the two partners battle together, boosting their stats. These stat bonuses come from affinities for your character, chosen when you create your character.

White: +1 SP. DEF
Black: +1 SP. ATK
Grey: +5 Hit
Red: +1 ATK
Blue: +1 DEF
Yellow: +1 SPD
Purple: +5 Crit
Green: +10% status chance on damage moves.

Now, a base support of C, the lowest level adds the bonus from each affinity. With the next level up, B, the stats double, and with the elusive A support, bonuses triple, and then add. So two Red affinity characters with an A support gain +6 ATK on all pokemon they use in the battle together.

The maximum number of supports, ideally an A with one person and a B with another. Supports are gained through extensive roleplay & involvement with another character. When you think you're ready for a support, PM me & I'll deem you worthy or unworthy for it at the time that you ask

Sun Stone: Evolves specific Pokemon ($1000)
Dusk Stone: Evolves specific Pokemon ($1000)
Fire Stone: Evolves specific Pokemon ($1000)
Thunder Stone: Evolves specific Pokemon ($1000)

The Catch Chance is based on how much health the opposing Pokemon has, multiplied by whichever kind of Pokeball you use. That number subtracted by 100 is how great of a chance they have of escaping.

Pokeball = Health x4
Great Ball = Health x3
Ultra Ball = Health x2

So for example, a Pokemon that you're attempting to catch with a Pokeball with 10 health remaining, as a forty percent chance of not being caught, so thus there is a sixty percent chance, of being caught. Keep that in mind when you are off venturing!

More items are added as you discover them, so keep searching!
