Roll to Dodge Adventures ~ Pokémon

The PokeMon world has a total of five beautiful regions, each with their own types of PokeMon. Starting off in the Kanto region after Team Rocket and the other big evils have been wiped out of existence, a new threat appears on the horizon. With more aggressive goals than ever before, a strange group of individuals are willing to kill to complete their goals. Will you be able to make it to Unova before these individuals defeat you? Or will you fall into the clutches of this organization and become the ultimate evil? You decide which path to take in this all new adventure of PokeMon: Roll to Dodge!

“Welcome to my lab!” says Professor Oak, now a very old man. “An amazing opportunity has cropped up over the years. The availability of the starter PokeMon has extended to all regions. That means you get to pick whatever starter you want, from whichever region. Choose wisely!”

Rules for rolling are the same as Brendan's thread:

Spoiler: show

1 - Fail the action miserably. The repercussions are lasting.
2 - Fail the action, but repercussions are short lived.
3 - Pass the action, but with negative side effects.
4 - Pass the action with an average quality, so unscathed.
5 - Pass the action, and get a bonus that can aid you in your quest.
6 - Not just pass the action, overkill it. The positive effects of this are everlasting; you can't go wrong with what happens with a six.

Rules for playing are as follows:

Spoiler: show

1 – Legendaries cannot be caught, as they are considered to be gods. Instead, they can be prayed to at shrines, in which the player may get a blessing if they get a good roll or a curse if they get a bad roll.
2 – If all PokeMon in a character's party faints, that character will experience a GAME OVER effect akin to the games – they will not be able to continue, but one is able to restart with another character.
3 – Effectiveness of moves will be taken into account. For example Fire is strong against Grass but weak against Water. It deals double damage to Grass types, but takes double damage from Water types.
4 – Attributes of a PokeMon will be random. This includes HP, Level and Gender. Anything else can be decided by the Trainer, as they will have no effect on the rolls.
5 – PokeMon that evolve via Trade will gain the ability to evolve via a 'Trading Stone', available at stores for about 3000 PokeDollars.

Other than that, I'll be giving out starting equipment and updating character sheets as they change. All slots are filled, come back later.

HOLY MOTHER OF ANUS YES

I shall be the first to sign up! Presuming signing up is done in a similar way to our other RtD, I shall create a bio!

I am a 16-year-old Rich Boy (It makes me feel important ), and I choose to start with Charmander, whom shall be affectionately named Steven.

13 year old wannabe Parasol Lady but currently only a lass~ With a Squirtle.

Please check the beginning post again for edits, including a new rule about hunger. Don't forget you can pick any starter, not just those from Kanto.

Luckii - 2 You're a Rich Boy at the age of 16, but your parents don't seem the type to spoil you as you need to go to a Professor to get your PokeMon instead of just having them bought for you. Not only that, but your parents only gave you a measly 2000 PokeDollars to start out with - what did you do in your past to make them be so mean?

Irregardless, you get your Charmander and five PokeBalls from Professor Oak. Steven is a very nice name for a girl.

Shiny Eevee - 2 You're a 13-year-old Lass who wants to be a Parasol Lady for reasons unknown. Your parents give you a sum of 2000 PokeDollars - perhaps they are not all that rich, maybe you're trying to be an entertainer?

You get a male Squirtle from Professor Oak, along with 5 PokeBalls. Maybe you'll want to give him a nickname before you head out on your journey.

My parents? Oh, a few weeks ago I forgot to turn the tap off in the bathroom before I went to bed... it was running for 14 hours... my parents were NOT impressed when the water bill came through the letter box.

Anyway, I set out onto Route 1, hoping to do some grinding before arriving in Viridian.

Ohhh!!! I wana join!!!
Ummm I guess I'll be a 17 year old ace trainer.. Can I have a Treecko? hmmm Its Nickname will be Lily if a girl and Blade if a guy.

He shall be named Red, because Red is an awesome person. :'D

Anyways, let's go on to Route 1 then~ Hopefully I don't run into any other new trainers, because I don't want to battle so soon! D:

I shall be an 18 year old male Maid. And I will start with Chikorita, whose name will be Hideous.

My state of dress is currently unknown.

Luckii - 6 You set off onto Route 1 to do some good old-fashioned grinding. You seem to be in luck, as a rarely seen PokeMon jumps in your way - a Furret! It seems to be holding a small blue berry, but it gets startled by your sudden presence in it's daily life. It quickly turns aggressive.

FIGHT - Furret, Female, HP: 20/20, Level 6

JadaStark - 4 You got the honor of being called an Ace by the age of 17, so I'm guessing you did particularly well in school (and are female, judging by your avatar). You started off just like a regular trainer would, a nice sum of 3000 PokeDollars in your bank account.

You choose Treecko for your starter, whom you name Lily because she's a girl. You get 5 PokeBalls from Professor Oak and well wishes for your journey.

Shiny Eevee - 2 Fate must really hate you right now. You run into a Trainer, but luckily it's not a head-first kind of running into... if that makes sense. He challenges you to a battle.

FIGHT - School Kid Sherman
Party:
1) Pidgey, Male, HP: 18/18, Level: 5

Tangrow - 1 at the ripe old age of 18, you must not have been paid very well at your Maid job, as you only have a measly 1000 PokeDollars. Apparently, at some time in your life you aspired to become a PokeMon trainer, and you decided to finally live out that dream.

You're given a male Chikorita which you swiftly name Hideous, and many tears were had, shame on you. You're also given 5 PokeBalls and quickly shooed out the door by the Professor, he must not like you very much. Maybe because you're obviously male and wearing a female maid outfit.

All my Pokemon cannot be beautiful. Ever.

I stuff Hideous and the other Pokeballs in my Maid Pocket and strike out for gold on Route 1! Or another Pokemon. Whatever. I wear my incredibly flattering maid outfit proudly and get on with the show!

Well what do you know. I'm off to a semi good start. Lets hope my luck lasts. And Yes I am a girl.

I gratefully take Lily and my other pokeballs from the professor and head off to look around town before I head to rout 1. It cant hurt to talk with some people before leaving.

FFFFFFF so my bad luck carries over to this game too! D:<

RED, LET'S START OFF WITH A TACKLE~

I will be joining as a fifteen year old girl. My hair is blue and I'm wearing a teeshirt and jeans or whatever. I choose an Oshawott as my starter and take off to route 1.

Ohh, Dinova want's to join!

So, I'll be a 16 year old girl painter starting with a turtwig. It will be called Sai, and it willl be mine.(short for Bonsai)

Hunger has been nixed due to the difficulty of keeping track of things in the first place. I was testing it out, but it wasn't working for me. Original 5 rules still apply.

Tangrow - 3 You daintily walk down Route 1, looking for gold or PokeMon. You don't find any gold, but you do find a wild Pidgey pecking at the grass.

FIGHT - Pidgey, Female, HP: 21/21, Level: 6

JadaStark - 3 You decide to see if you can find an useful information around town. A random bystander looks at you, a smile plastered on his face for what might be forever. "Be sure to talk to everyone you see, they might have useful information. You can find PokeMon by running around the tall grass or hitting trees." Typical NPC, giving out information you already know.

Shiny Eevee

Spoiler: show

6 vs. 4
1 vs. 4

Red hits the Pidgey for 5 damage, and the bird retaliates with it's own tackle, also dealing 5 damage.

Status:
Red (Squirtle), Male, HP: 15/20, Level: 5

School Kid Sherman
Pidgey, Male, HP: 13/18, Level: 5

Chadwyck - 5 You're a regular female PokeMon Trainer at the age of 15, wearing your t-shirt and jeans and having blue hair, which apparently your parents don't mind. They don't mind so much that apparently you started out with a generous amount of 4500 PokeDollars, lucky you!

You get 5 Pokeballs and a female Oshawott. You head out on to Route 1 and encounter a Sentret.

FIGHT - Sentret, Male, HP: 13/13, Level: 3

Dinova - 2 You're a female painter of a sort, but you must not be a very good one since you only have 2000 PokeDollars - but that could be due to the fact that you're also only 16 years old. You might've decided that painting wasn't going to be your only passion because of this, and decided to become a PokeMon Trainer.

Professor Oak gives you a male Turtwig and 5 PokeBalls. You affectionately name him Sai.

My dear Red, wounded!? D: DEAL ANOTHER TACKLE, AND FOLLOW IT WITH ANOTHER TACKLE.

A Pokemon? I must catch it! And then name it something degrading and destroy its self esteem I MEAN ANYWAY

Hideous, Tackle into it! See if you can't get bonus damage out of being incredibly ugly.

Hmmm Random useless Information? Okay.
Well I guess the town has nothing interesting so I guess I'll head for route 1. Here's to hoping I'll do okay.

Yay, my first pokemon! *huggles Sai*

I put Sai's pokeball in my pocket, instead opting to carry him as I head onto route 1.

Awesome! This is going to be a cake walk with my adorable new friend, who I've decided to name Onna (pronounce Oh-Nah).

I suppose that being a new trainer, with a new Pokemon, I suppose all I've got to start out with is a tackle! Do it, Onna!
