TPML Safari Zone!

[DarkestLight]

Welcome to the Safari Zone folks! Over the years we've been bursting at he seams with ideas and we finally got enough funding to give you guys some MAJOR overhauls. Here's a refresher on the rules and where you can expect from the Safari Zone nowadays, on the eve of a new generation.


Rules

To enter, you need to buy Poké Balls to help you capture Pokemon.

Poké Ball You can buy a Poké Ball for 2 points. A Poké Ball will allow you to capture any single stage or non evolving pokémon you come across, but no higher.

Great Ball You can buy a Great Ball for 3 points. A Great Ball will allow you to capture any second stage pokémon you come across, but no higher. It also captures single stage and non-evolving sooner than a Poké Ball would allow.

Ultra Ball You can buy an Ultra Ball for 4 points. An Ultra Ball will allow you to capture any third stage pokémon you come across. It also captures single stage and non-evolving much sooner than a Poké Ball would allow, and second stage pokémon sooner than a Great Ball would allow.

The more Poké Balls you buy, the more Pokemon from your ASB Team you can take with you, although the maximum is 3.

Remember, once you enter the Safari Zone (and subsequently spent your points on the Poké Balls) you need to make a bank post.

Here is how the Safari Zone will work. If you are interested, you sign up, stating how many Poké Balls you would like to buy and which Pokemon you take with you. Please provide genders and nicknames. You should also specify where you want to explore.

A ref (see below) will ‘take’ your post and write a brief ‘intro’ to your Safari Zone quest. These are not too in-depth. They detail where you are and what you can see. Each ref will start their own thread. This will help alleviate clutter and confusion from too many Safari Zone's going at different speeds.

Example
Rapamon2: You take your Eevee and Squirtle with you and wander along the beautiful sands of Tranquil Shores. As you go, you see a small group of Krabby, male and female, playfighting along the sand. You can see a Wingull in the sky and a Dunsparce burrowing out of the sand. What will you do?

Then, you would type your response.

“I’d like to battle one of the male Krabby.”

And as before, the Ref will write this out as if it were a Pokemon Battle in ASB. Three attacks per turn. There may be banned moves depending on the location (ie: derelict building: not advised to use earthquake) but these are at the Referees discretion.. Once the foe is at 0% HP or energy it will get too frightened and run, so you need to catch it before it hits 0%. If all of your Pokemon faint you will be taken to the exit with no refund for unused Poké Balls.

Make sure to post your responses in the correct thread!


Referees

Any approved ASB Ref can sign up as a Safari Zone ref and can take on anybodies quests. Safari Zone refs will be PMed with a list of what Pokemon can be found in what areas and told instructions on how to ref the Zone.

Please do not hassle any Safari Refs. They may refuse to ref for you.

For every five rounds of Safari Quests reffed, a Safari Ref will get 2 points. These can not be used in conjunction with Referee Rewards but still need to be shown in the Bank when payment is received.

Areas of Exploration


Sunshine Fields
A large plain that overlooks TPML, the grass is soft and the air tasty. A plethora of grass Pokemon are found here as they enjoy the tickling breeze and the bright sunshine. Bird and normal-types are also found here.

Crush Quarry
A dangerous quarry home to Rock and Ground types. Footing is loose, and there's always work being done. A few Fighting types and some rare Steel types also make their homes here.

Ivy Woods
A dense forest where a thick fog lingers. There are Grass and Bug types everywhere you turn. Look up and you'll find Flying types are enjoying the highest reaches of the trees.

Ivy Lake
A secluded lake in the middle of the forest, you'll find rare Dragons here, along with all the usual Water types, and maybe a few Ice Types too. Rumor has it, that there's a cave hidden underwater...

Abandoned Playhouse
This glorious playhouse was burnt down, but what remains has become a home for several Normal city pokémon, not to mention the Fire types that love the smell of charcoal.

Skinny Dip’s Pond
Fishing rods are supplied for free, so sit back and see what you can land. Water types are abundant here, but the soft land around is home to more than a few burrowing pokémon.

Grave’s Yard
A frightening place where all the worst stories originate. Home to Ghost and Dark type pokémon, you may find a rare Psychic type, but only the bravest dare tread here.

Tranquil Shores
A small cove-style beach. There are lots of ocean pokémon to be found here, as well as Fire types enjoying the sun. Some ground types can also be found.

Ffeffni Mountain
This large mountain is very cold and has biting winds nipping around. There is a layer of snow falling and many ice types can be found here. Also look for hardier bird Pokemon and a variety of tough foes.

Trolgar Mountain
A tall mountain out of the main village. Expect a variety of rock, ground and fire types to be seen among the road to the summit. Can you unlock the code to get into the Archives?

Feizhi Outpost
A thick and heavy jungle where the best of explorers will find a thousand and one bugs. That's not to mention the abundant Poison types and several Grass types too. The sun is very hot.

The Old Village
This is the old location of the village before the battling league moved the village a mile east. In this ancient test of time, among old buildings and disused shops you will find a variety of city Pokemon living in solitude. Rumor has it there are secrets underneath the village.

Wagwhomp Swamp
This hot, murky swamp is home to a manner of grumpy and surly Pokemon. These are all Pokemon from the DP Generation. This small, secluded swamp houses some rare and tropical species.

--!!!--

Shinsuke Volcano -
This volcanic island - previously hidden away can now be seen from the shore. A massive pool of magma lies deep in its center, but one can walk down quite a ways and find a variety of Fire types enjoying the heated tunnels. Some hardier Flying pokémon line the edges of the Volcano as well. A tall pagoda stands on the island as well, the only man-made structure here.

Ruskie Tundra -
This wide expanse of icy land extends as far as the eyes can see. Rolling snow dunes and harsh hailing conditions make it an idea place for Ice Pokemon, and only the sturdiest of winter loving beasts.

Nevshard Badlands -
A terribly hot, sweltering desert with few places for shade. Illusions are commonplace here-and the scent of inevitable dehydration hangs high here. Yet Hardy Pokemon worked out a way to survive in this climate-despite the horrid lack of water.

Skyline Terrace: -
A strange town, all within the treetops. Long since abandoned by humans, the MASSIVE amount of Pokemon that live here all seem a bit strange and off kilter. The completely aerial town is connected by boards, and the homes all resemble traditional Japanese style. One would think the townspeople were turned into Pokemon here!

Platrin Plateau -
This mysterious temple set high in the skies is shrouded in Mystery. How does one get here?

---!!!---

What what whaaaaaaat! >.> <.< I'm just..cleaning this dusty space here.... LALALALA

There are also more, hidden areas to be visited among the Safari Zone. If you explore the areas you might find clues to help you delve further into the zones to find better Pokemon and other rewards.

[Mew Master]

You just cannot evolve them until they're done in the Saf Zone

And I'll take your Reffing thar horror!

Edit: WEAK! DL beat me to it!

[Ayeun]

Here is a question for you DL. Can I use a battle in the SZ as exp for evolutions?

[chaos_redefined]

I'm gonna take Smack, my female Kangaskhan and Tyrant, my ungendered Spiritomb, into Shinsuke Volcano, with a pokeball and an ultraball. It should cost me 6 points, which I will link shortly.

Edit: Ayeun, here's your bank link: Bank

[Ayeun]

I will take Chaos's adventure. update your post with a bank link, and come check my thread.

[Wolfsong]

[Crazy Elf Boy]

I might pick up your Saf zone reffing in a bit, Wolfsong, But I will let someone see if they want it first case otherwise I will feel a bit greedy.

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Ok Wolfsong since no one else has picked it up shall take up your saf zone reffing. Just move over here thanks.

Sorry for double post.

[Greyfox]

How does one sign up to be a referee? I used to be one back in the day... I'm thinkin' about doing it again. =D

[chaos_redefined]

Just ask DL. He'll email/send by msn all the relevant details.

Oh. That reminds me. I looked through the stuff you sent me, DL. Send me the new stuff.

[Mew Master]

I can send you the new stuff chaos.

[chaos_redefined]

I got it from DL. Just to make sure I get the offiicial stuff. Thanks anyway mew...

Also, ayeun wants to take me again, to show that she can include roleplay stuff. But, I'm not getting a legendary. Just taking a great ball to the Old Village, with my good friend Tearo, the aerodactyl.

Bank

[Ayeun]

And come see my tower when its there, and we will get rolling!

[chaos_redefined]

Crazy question... What does TMPL stand for?

[Ayeun]

The pokemasters land.... at least, thats what I think.

[Mew Master]

The PokeMasters League

[chaos_redefined]

Ah. Hence why the M comes before the P.

Someone typo'd?

[Ayeun]

The Magical Pokemasters league?

[Mew Master]

Probably, it was made up when Chris 2.0 was ASB Mod and he made "The PokeMasters League (A tribute to ASB)" which unfortunately I never got to appear in.

[Greyfox]

The Pokemon Masters League.

Anyone wanna go on a Safari Zone adventure? I'm itchin' to get my feet wet again.

[chaos_redefined]

Same. I had to talk ayeun into giving me some points so I could at least go on one.

[Greyfox]

We can do that? Give out points? Because I've got a spare Ultra Ball that I might not use just yet from a ref reward if someone wants to use it. Provided Darkly or Melg allows it.

[Ayeun]

When he says I 'gave him points', what he ment is I traded him 2 points for his shinx

[Blademaster]

I'm interested in going on a hunt for a Legendary.

An ice-cold Legendary.

[Oslo]

...I'll ref you.

[Blademaster]

Alright... Where do I pay for supplies? I'm gonna need a ton of Ultra Balls.

[Oslo]

All the prices and stuff is in the OP. Just make a post in the Financial Tower and I'll kick it off.

*excited to make my own Safari Ref thread*

[Greyfox]

Dammit, Oslo! I wanted this one... ;-;

[Oslo]

If you'd really like it, I'll hand it over to you? Or you can ref my Safari Adventure when my current one with CEB ends. Whatevs. I'm not in any emergency to ref.

[Greyfox]

Well, you got to it first, so it's up to you. I'll definitely ref you when you want though.

[Oslo]

Haha, how about this? You can ref Blade's. 'Cause I can tell you really want to and I don't want to have to deal with Blade's drama.

Maybe I'll unload my own adventure on Chaos or someone.

[Greyfox]

Fair enough, Os. I'll remember this!

[Oslo]

Ooh, question: Do we know if we're allowed to go on multiple adventures at once?

'Cause I'm gunning for a Marowak or Nidoking in my adventure with CEB... but do you think I could get someone else to ref a second adventure simultaneously in which I hunt for a legendary?

[Greyfox]

Hm... I'm not entirely sure... because I wanna do the same to hunt down multiple legendaries!

[Mew Master]

No, one Saf Zone to a player

Edit: Also, 5k Post!
