Anyone out there ever try pokemon tabletop games? Always wanted

i've been interested, but never got around to do one

basically this.
I have the rules and statted out a few pokes and a trainer. But haven't found anyone interested.

Same here. I actually wanted to do it because I collect the tomy moncolle figures and it would make for good miniatures, but I don't have any friends who are interested in tabletop anymore.

I played a PTU game a few times. The base mechanics are allright and fun, but he game is really slow (I'm talking 4 players is maximum party size, unless you want people wandering off until it is their turn again) because each character is bascally a summoner class from another game.
It also has a problem with 'tism, a good chunk of the people you just find to play with are going to go down the "I need a shiny Umbreon, Glaceon, and Vaporeon, but the Vaporeon needs to be steel type" path.
If you can find a good group, it's pretty good, if slow. If you can't, be prepared for people to tell you unhealthy details about their Pokemon.

And Grapple Steelix/Dragonite is hands down the most OP thing in the game.

i
what

Reminds me of one guy I know who, no matter what game I suggest, INSISTS that he be a necromancer. He won't play otherwise.

I'm a little disappointed that PTU seems like, "here's the pokemon game... but on tabletop." Like just straight trainers, gym, league stuff.
I'd like to do a more pokemon mystery dungeon type thing, more fantasy-ish environments, maybe make like an apricorn crafting system for armor and stuff, buuuuuut that would require effort and retooling of the rules they have and I don't really feel like doing that if I'm not going to wind up playing for lack of people

That was an actual example I encountered. And it wasn't done in a cool way, like a throwback to the liquid metal terminators, it was just a steel Vaporeon for no explained reason.

Some of the expansion books have material for that kind of stuff. Nothing quite PMD-like, though someone on the main forum has started the groundwork of homebrewing it already.

>>31144771
if you go that way, what's the fucking point anymore
"we can do and change everything we want about whatever pokemon"
i feel like the worst part about starting a tabletop are the autists and the underage

if anyone here has some good ideas and maybe some other site/ shit to do it on i'd be down honestly, at least if we avoid the aforementioned retards

I've played PTA quite a few times over the years. It's definitely flawed by god is it flawed, GMing it is a serious pain, especially with munchkins since stuff is so easy to abuse and unbalance but it's fun with the right people. I've got a chip on my shoulder with PTU with how the classes are set up, but I know mechanically it's a lot more sane, so I need to give it another try.

Try not to scare the locals, anons.

Wish I could meet some of you guys irl. Would be cool to try this

I should mention, the PMD stuff assumes you have the main PTU book on hand, as a lot of things refer to the main book.
