So did you consider him a rival or no?
Nah.

my friends at daycare said he wasn't a rival so i'm gathering anecdotes.
> First off, for anyone who doesn't know, Pokemon Tabletop United (PTU) is a fan-made Pokemon tabletop RPG system. It is a parallel successor to Pokemon Tabletop Adventures (which I will not discuss here because it is shite). It takes all the goodness of Pokemon and turns it into a fully-fledged RPG, complete with proper dice-based systems and a fully integrated Pokedex, as well as a large number of additional features and even options for playing in other settings and genres besides the modern-day setting of the canon Pokemon universe.
So I'm currently building a campaign with this system (I've already started it but I'm filling in more things besides the foundation and key elements as I go) and I feel I'm quickly running dry on ideas for Trainers I can throw at my players. Besides the fact that I just simply dislike making up random "generic" NPCs for things as "formal" as Pokemon battles, it's also much easier on me as the DM to create Trainers and their teams ahead of time. The process for building both Trainers and Pokemon is a pretty intensive one, just for the record. I don't need full-on backstories or even names (unless you're desperate to surrender your OC baby for someone else to use); I'm just looking for themes, personalities, and any suggestions for Pokemon they might carry.
Keep in mind that the PTU system is far more expansive than the normal Pokemon games; Trainers can specialize in a variety of battling styles and skills, and some can even learn certain kinds of Pokemon Moves (especially if they're Psychics, Channelers, Sages, etc). Pokemon can also be a lot different to the general members of their individual species in this game, provided they have the physical and mental capabilities; they can wield weapons, learn to speak (several can already use Telepathy), be born as mutants, etc. Basically, the system is a lot more like the manga or the anime than the games themselves. Lots of creative freedom.

(( OP here. Full post was too long to put in the thread starter so continuing here... ))
The setting I'm using is the normal "modern day" Pokemon setting, just in a Region of my own creation (based on the area around the eastern part of the Mediterranean with Italy, Greece, Turkey, Egypt, etc). It ostensibly takes place (I'm not really hard-set on the timeframe) around three decades after the events of Gold/Silver/Crystal. If anyone has any questions about my campaign that would help narrow down their suggestions, or even questions about the system in general I will try to answer them as best I can.
I'm also more than willing to receive suggestions for special wild Pokemon encounters, sidequests, and anything else of the sort that I can throw at my players. The more unusual and novel the better, and don't worry about the potential difficulty or level of mortal danger any of your suggestions you may have! The game has built-in rules for going well beyond the usual cartoonish damage limitations seen in the games or anime. I'm welcoming any and all ideas!
Bumping for hope :c
pity bump
This region would have been perfect for it.
soaring is boring
>>30451746
>TINY region
No thanks
>>30451746
I think GF mentioned in an interview that soaring was made specifically to give players a new view of an old region.
But yeah, would of been quite nice.

Dawn best girl.
These SOS battles are really making catching Pokémon such a goddamn chore.
I'm trying to catch an Oranguru, but the asshole summons a new Trumbeak every single time I take out one of those stupid birds, on the same turn. I've killed like five birds already and haven't been able to throw a single ball. Who thought this was a good idea? I like the mechanic in principle, but in practice it's just such a hassle. Is there like a hold item that prevents SOS battles?
Also S/M whining thread I guess.
Always have a member of your team that can paralyze or put pokemon to sleep, it really is a blessing
>>30451705
The worst part is the pokedex don't even tell you which pokes are exclusive to SOS battles, you actually have to google it. I spend a full day trying to find a happiny the normal way.
>>30451705
Status m8. Status seems to vastly reduce the frequency of SOS call attempts. Some even report that pokemon stop calling entirely when Paralyzed. They definitely cannot call when fully disabled such as Sleep/Frozen.
What's the big deal with Lillie leaving? Does the Xtransceiver not exist in the Megaverse?
>>30451614
>you get video called by Kukui
They have something but it's just the game devs laughing at you after giving you a waifu for the whole game

lillie leaves forever
nothing of value was lost
If you didn't start with Popplio I feel bad for you. Female ones are worth Gold on GTS.

How does one get JKSM to work with a digital version of Su/Mo? When I run JKSM it only shows ocarina of time, and does not show moon. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
do pokemon need to receive experience for pokerus to spread, or can i turn xp share off, fight 1 battle to infect my party with pokerus, then stick the spreder back into my box to preserve it?
Refresh Games from the main menu.
>>30452288
You could probably find the answer yourself with about 5-10 minutes of trial and error.

So you traded a shitmon and got a shitmon in return?

So um ho long has it been a thing that rock types get a bonus to Special Defence when a sandstorm is up? I feel like an idiot for not knowing this, is this common knowledge?
Yes, it is, but I don't know when it started being a thing.
>>30451307
like 3rd or 4th gen I think. I remember it was a big thing because of Tyranitars sandstream.
>Ice types don't get a Defense boost in Hail
>Masculine designs have higher Attack
Incineroar
Tapu Koko
Tapu Bulu
>Feminine designs have higher """Special""" Attack
Primarina
Tapu Lele
Tapu Fini
Why is this allowed?
>>30451303
>male human beings are on average physically stronger
>female human beings aren't on average smarter
why is this allowed?
Misogyny ofc
>>30451355
Female human beings are better at beam attacks on average though to be fair.
