RUMOR WAR EVENT
PokeMania! - FAQ

As with every Rumor War event, we want to ensure that every detail is as clear as possible, so please take a look over this compilation of the questions we’ve received so far to ensure all your questions have been answered!



Yay, Pokemon! But why will there only be Legendaries/Mythicals? That means my favorite won’t be available!

We’re sorry that this has been a disappointment, but the decision to include only Legendaries/Mythicals was made for two reasons:

First, with over 700 Pokemon created across all six generations, we absolutely had to limit the number that are available to catch in this event from a logistics standpoint; otherwise, the RNG would be impossible to run in a timely manner!

Second, when determining which Pokemon would make the cut, we took into account the Pokemon Ikaros himself would want to bring to the island -- and, like most little boys, he likes the rarest and most powerful ones best.

Why can’t we keep the Pokemon after the event?

Ruby City is not a Pokemon-based game. We understand that Pokemon is a very popular franchise, but this is only an event; we will not be changing the nature of the game because of it.

Will characters be ICly told that they will not be able to keep their Pokemon?

As none of the Virtues or Vices ever have a sure idea of what Ikaros is up to, neither Gene nor Ava would be able to tell player characters that the Pokemon will disappear at the end of the event.

Will there be more than one of each kind of Pokemon available (i.e. more than one Zapdos)?

No, there will be only one of each kind of Pokemon available (i.e. only one Zapdos).

Are you sure there will be enough Pokemon for all the participants?

We were sure to consider the response to the last Rumor War when creating the mechanics for this one, so we’re expecting the initial waves of Pokemon to be more than enough. In the case that it is not, we will introduce a third wave as well.

My character has xyz ability/trait. Do they get boosted chances at catching Pokemon/in the tournament?

Unfortunately, we cannot allow particular characters to gain an advantage over others in catching Pokemon. We want to keep the playing field even for everyone! That being said, don't worry too much about the tournament, guys. ;)

Will my incorporeal character be able to use the items Gene and Ava give them?

Absolutely!

If you have any further questions, feel free to ask them here, and please continue using the original event post for plotting purposes. Thank you for your attention!

Remember me? =P

Hey there, it's Kitten, and I wanted to reach out to anyone who has rp'd with me, specifically before my hiatus and such. I'll make it quick, no worries.

Since I don't have you added to plurk, I thought an OOC comment might serve better to ask this, but I'm going to do my backtags from...yikes, the wendigo thing, I guess? And anything I might have in between. BUT. If you're not interested, can you let me know here? Otherwise feel free to ignore any of my tag backs should I send them before anyone expresses disinterest haha.

As a note: I'm only doing tags to the last post I made before crapola went down in my life and made me have to stay away from rp, more or less. I have a few on the log I made that I'm gonna answer, but I need to prune down my open threads so I can catch up a bit.

Thanks for your understanding guys. ;;
