REX's Game - Pokemon Combat Arena

So I can test my Pokemon games' combat mode, it will be disguised as a newly built Combat Arena in Palet Town, where all of the players currently live. Soon they will be receiving their first Pokemon, but before they do, they might want to know how to fight with Pokemon!

The Pokemon in the Combat Arena are all trained to obey whoever borrows them for the training session, but they are also trained not become attached to them. They are all in their first evolution, and none of them...erm...legendary, such as Mew or Articunos. And they are all found in Pokemon versions Blue, Red, Yellow, & Green.

This is how the combat works. The trainers that own the Combat Arena will use an example combat using Charizard and Blastoise.

When it comes to Pokemon vs. Pokemon combat, the trainer goes into first person mode, as if you were the Pokemon.

Here it goes...

Trainers May and Percy will be fighting.

"I choose you Blastoise!" May hollers, throwing her Pokeball onto the small battlefield.

"Go, Charizard!" Percy orders, opening his Pokeball.

Arcs of white light jump from the balls and lands on the field, forming the Pokemon's massive builds.

May challenged Percy, therefore her Blastoise goes first. This battle does not factor in health or power points.

Blastoise to Attack, Charizard to Defend

Blastoise tackles Charizard.

Charizard strafes to avoid the tackle.

Analysis: Blastoise, who is slower than Charizard, misses.

Charizard to Attack, Blastoise to Defend

Charizard whacks Blastoise with his tail.

Blastoise grabs Charizard's tail.

Analysis: Charizard's attack does little damage, but Blastoise has a hold of the tail.

Those would be standard attacks. All standard physical attacks, such as Punch, Kick, Tackle, Scratch, Grab, and so on, are like that. But there advanced attacks. Each Pokemon has four special attacks, that they learn either through Technical Machines (TMs), or through their own advancement in combat.

Charizard's Specials:
Fire Blast
Flame Thrower
Earthquake
Mega Punch

Blastoise's Specials:
Hydro Pump
Defensive Curl
Seismic Toss
Ice Punch

Blastoise to Attack, Charizard to Defend. Blastoise has a hold of Charizard's tail.

Blastoise uses Seismic Toss to throw Charizard by the tail.

Charizard tries scratch Blastoise to get it to let go of it's tail.

Analysis: Blastoise throws Charizard far (depending on environment), and Charizard smashes into (depending on environment). (i.e. If they are in a cave, Charizard won't go very far, but he'll hit a rock wall damn hard. If they are in a field, he'll go far, and likely hit nothing except grass.)

Charizard to Attack, Blastoise to Defend.

Charizard turns around and uses Mega Punch.

Blastoise uses Defense Curl.

Analysis: Blastoise retreats into his shell as Charizard's blow connects, and the damage is minimalized. Blastoise flies back (depending on environment).

Blastoise to Attack, Charizard to Defend.

Blastoise comes out of his shell and uses Hydro Pump, firing short bursts with his cannons.

Charizard snarls, and then uses Flame Thrower, aiming for the pressurized water.

Analysis: Charizard's Flamethrower collides with Blastoise's Hydro Pump, creating a large flash and explosion of vapor. But water is super effect against fire, and the water blows away the flames, and Blastoise scores a hit, the super pressurized water tossing Charizard away.

Charizard is knocked out.

Also, try to be creative in your combat! Unlike the game, where it is "I move, you move," there are more things that factor into it.

cool, could i try and do a battle with someone?

Sure! You can challenge May or Percy, the owners of the Combat Arena, or you can fight one of the other players.

Also, after we get some of the Pokemon combat down, we'll move to gun combat. Team Rocket isn't going to let you go so easily after you smack down their Pokemon!

😖 hope i can remember all that

ok, sounds great. i might fumble up a bit, but not too much. also, my character, poor little karly, doesn't have a gun, so what should i do?

use a stick 😛 😉

i was thinking slingshot, but that's ok. either that, or tranquilizer gun. but, i don't want karly to have a gun.

she could have a tazer *shrugs* but a slingshot does sound ok

You don't need a gun at all. Just a neat thing. You'll have to stay behind the others when Team Rocket pulls out some guns, though. Plus, Pokemon vs. Humans is another combat form! Psychic Pokemon like Mewtwo, especially Mewtwo, can stop bullets with Psyhic.

and bullets are even going to effect steel pokemon right?

they will, but not very much. and isn't it affect cuz it's a verb? effect is a noun.

i'm not sure 😕

VERY little effect on Steel Pokemon, if any at all. If a steel-type Pokemon was being fired upon with an M-16 or a sniper rifle and uses a defensive special (Defense Curl, Harden, etc.), it will do nothing but patter off. Rock Pokemon can do similar, but will have some damage.

May and Percy look at you all curiously.

"Are you going to train with the Pokemon, or not?"

NOTICE: I'm opening a help thread, for quick references and such. What types are super effective against others, combat modes, etc.

Can't yet, gotta wait till sunday, hope i'm not to lost when i come back 😖

Quite alright.

i've read the rules and i think i'm ready for a battle
