RUMOR WAR EVENT THREE - FAQ
RUMOR WAR EVENT
PokeMania! - FAQ
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!

I have a question that came up as a result of the first day's RNG: How can multiple people meet the same PKM? (ICly it makes sense of course but I am wondering about gameplay here.) Is it first come first serve then? So. If two people put in their tag to encounter let's say Mew and the first person's RNG is successful Mew is captured and no longer available?
And the other person who wanted to encounter Mew too will find it no longer there and have wasted their day's attempt?

If two characters submit a form for Mew, a randomizer will decide who encounters it first, and the first encounter will get its result from the RNG. If the first encounter results in success, the other character will not find Mew and must return to the city empty-handed. However, if the first encounter results in failure, the other character will find Mew and will have the opportunity to try and befriend it.
In the end, it's up to you whether taking a calculated risk like this is worth it!

Now for the actual question. If someone forgoes trying to catch a Pokemon and instead dedicates the day to exploring the Alternate Dimension, what would they find?

But that couldn't be right, could it?

if someone decides to look for jigglypuff instead of seeking out a legendary and by some incredible stroke of luck actually ends up rolling the little pink singing demon, would capturing it be an option?
