Adopted/Captured Pokemon Rules + Where everything is and what you do there

[Lady Vulpix]

We all know that being a good mod does not require posting on all threads. Everyone has lives outside of TPM (and the right not to be interested in replying to every single poll), but whenever someone breaks the rules on the main forum action is taken promptly. And not only that, but both Amy and Soo have been very helpful towards new members, and they both take their responsibilities seriously (checking that things are in order, handling approvals and responding to people's questions, suggestions and even complaints like this one).

Hi.

I got a really important question I wish I could get an answer to, please.

Whenever a Pokemon that first made its debut in GSC or R/S is adopted/captured (this doesn't apply to Pokemon who have a pre-evolved form or evolved form from RBY), and it reaches a level which is a multiple of 10, can it get a move it can only learn from a FR/LG move tutor (as long as the TM Compatibility list says it can learn that move)?

Thanks in advance.

Yes it can. Since we have the knowledge of who gets what now, it's legit

[naruto428]

All I have is links to forums. Isn't there a real page where you can catch and adopt Pokémon?

[The_Missing_Link]

Those aren't links to different forums. They're links to actual adoption centers, battle towers, etc. Dragon Tamers and PokeZoo are the two adoption centers and Crystal Caves is the capture center. Read the rules in those threads before you decide to adopt/capture Pokemon

I've been away for a while, does this mean I have to start over??

[andyizcool]

I've been away for a while, does this mean I have to start over??

Not if you have all your old information stored somewhere safe.

[Dark Dragonite]

Not if you have all your old information stored somewhere safe.

LOL, thanks, now...to try and find this info...Oye, why did angelfire have to kill my pages?

[Cheesey]

That question's in the FAQ, Steve. ;P Welcome back!

No you don't have to start over, as long as you've got all of your pokemon's information. If you've lost all of their info, then you'll have to restart, though.

[Lady Vulpix]

Gabi to the rescue. Don't expect me to pull this out too often, I don't have everyone's info.

Welcome back, Steve!

[Dark Dragonite]

Wow, thanks Gabi!!
I'll keep better track of things now, since my computer is in a closet...

I did manage to find the rest of the party's info, I couldn't deal with losing Nave, or Amber and Mercury's son Alucard, either.

[Lady Vulpix]

Ah, that's good to hear.

[Skye]

Just helping out, but I noticed a few errors:

2) We currently have one Capture Center:

Crystal Caves


Two is the limit, so no more will be allowed.

And the Expedia link isn't accurate It goes to an older version.

[Lady Vulpix]

Well, two is the limit. We used to have 2, so if someone wants to start a new one to replace Pokemon Avengers I guess they can (they'd have to get it approved, of course). It's a tough job, though, so I doubt many people would be willing to run one.

As for the Expedia link, thanks for pointing it out, I'll fix it.

[Everoy]

I'd be willing to help run one, it would motivate me to be more active here.

[Lady Vulpix]

Well, then, Patrick. Just remember it's a responsibility and, once you assume it, you'll have to stay active and post updates for everyone regularly. It's not something you can set up in a day or a week and then flows smoothly. You'll have to work actively on keeping it up and running.

PM me or a mod of this forum with your idea (what the name of the CC would be, its dynamics, what areas it would have -if applicable-, what pokemon would be available where, what the odds of finding each pokemon in each area would be, what actions the players would be able to perform, what special items there would be -if any-, and anything else you have planned).

[Everoy]

I just don't know who else would be willing to work there.

[Lady Vulpix]

First settle the details, then you can call for workers. In any case, they must be active, responsible and have enough time to spare.

[Everoy]

I'll try to get it put together this summer, I have about 20 days left of school so I'm busy right now, but this summer it should be easier to find time to put it together.

[Lady Vulpix]

Just a notice. The FAQ has been updated. A Quick Jump index has been added, links have been fixed and the question about free TMs has been made (hopefully) clearer.

Take a look at it here. Comments and suggestions are welcome.

[Knight of Time]

Hi.

There's something important I'd like to ask about the early evolution of any Pokemon that uses an Evolution Stone.

For evolved Pokemon that evolve from the use of an Evolution Stone that learn fewer moves than their pre-evolution(s) but end up learning any move at L1 that its pre-evo(s) learn at a later level (e.g. Ninetales starts with Quick Attack, Confuse Ray and Safeguard at L1, but Vulpix learns the moves at L7 in GSC (L13 in R/S/E and FR/LG), L19 in GSC (L21 in R/S/E and FR/LG) and L25 in GSC (L33 in R/S/E and FR/LG) respectively. My question is, if you evolve certain Pokemon at an early level (Vulpix is one example), will they get the moves they would have learned at a later level in their first form instantly in their evolved form if the evolved form also gets those moves (e.g. if I was to evolve my adopted L8 Vulpix at any time, would she automatically learn Quick Attack, Confuse Ray and Safeguard?)?

Thanks in advance.

[Lady Vulpix]

No. You will notice that, if you have a Vulpix in any game and you evolve it, it doesn't learn those moves upon evolving either.

[*Murkrow]

I wasn't sure exactly where I should post this, considering it'll include both ac and cc, and it seemed better here than in one of those respective topics. I mentioned in the GT a couple of months ago about whether or not the moves from XD will be allowed to be given as TM's; I asked before the game was out, I believe so I didn't get an absolute answer, but now it's been out for a while, I thought I'd ask again. I checked the compatabilites list (in-case they'd been added) and they haven't, and there's nothing in the FAQ about them not be allowed.

So basically....are they or aren't they?

The moves in question being:

Refresh
Teddiursa, Ledyba, Seedot, Baltoy, Spinarak, Carvanha, Shroomish, Voltorb, Makuhita, Pineco, Zangoose, Paras, Shellder, Pidgeotto, Magneton, Venomoth, Arbok, Raticate, Magcargo, Hitmonlee, Starmie, Snorlax, Manectric, Salamence, Tauros, Exeggutor

Heal Bell
Poochyena, Mareep, Altaria, Lapras, Dragonite

Sing
Gulpin, Ralts, Mawile, Snorunt, Meowth, Kangaskhan, Marowak

Charm
Spheal, Houndour, Numel, Vulpix, Swinub, Growlithe, Golduck, Dugtrio

Sweet Kiss
Delcatty, Roselia, Chansey

Helping Hand
Duskull, Grimer, Seel, Nosepass, Primeape, Sableye, Banette, Pinsir, Hitmonchan, Lickitung, Poliwrath, Rhydon

Baton Pass
Natu, Spearow, Lunatone, Beedrill, Hypno, Dodrio, Farfetch'd, Rapidash, Solrock, Swellow

Tri Attack
Togepi

Morning Sun
Tangela, Butterfree, Weepinbell, Scyther

Follow Me
Magmar, Electabuzz, Mr. Mime

-----

Some of those are on the compatabilities list already, but what about the others? If this has been asked already, sorry, must have overlooked it.

[Lady Vulpix]

Sorry for the delay. I have talked to Amy. We've decided that those moves can be used, but only as bred-on moves or buyable/EMT TMs. Not as free, multiple of 10 TMs. And you get a stamp for your help.

[*Murkrow]

Alright, thanks for that ^_^ *Teaches Charm to Jock*

And I just realised that I missed out three Pokémon and their moves. Sorry for that, but would the Johto starters be able to be taught their respective elemental beams (Blast Burn, Hydro Cannon, Frenzy Plant) if you obtain the TM? I'm pretty certain that the last stages are on the compatability lists, but seeing as it's now possible to get the first and second stages with the moves ingame, would that be the same here?

[Lady Vulpix]

In which game do they get those moves, and how?

[*Murkrow]

XD, beat Mt. Battle and you'll get to choose one of them. Repeat to get the other two.

http://www.serebii.net/xd/johto.shtml

Hope posting the links fine, just to back up what I wrote.

[Lady Vulpix]

I guess they can, then, but why does it say "may be able"? Isn't it certain?

[*Murkrow]

I think the page was just written around the time the game had just been released in Japan, so information still wans't entirely confirmed. It just hasn't been updated since then.

[Lady Vulpix]

Ah, ok, then.

Can the Kanto starters get those moves in their basic forms too?

[Edit: I see they can.]

[Dark Dragonite]

I've probably asked this before, but can we use moves from:
NYC PC
Nintendo Event
XD?

[The Blue Avenger]

The answer about XD is slightly further up the page, and as far as Nintendo Events and the Pokemon Center, I think no, unless the Pokemon and move are specifically mentioned on the New TM List.

[Lady Vulpix]

A stamp goes to Jeff for his help.

[Dark Dragonite]

Here's an important question:

Since my charmander is mutant with wings, can he learn the flying attacks a charizard can(besides fly obviously at lv.28)?

Wing Attack
Aerial Ace
Steel Wing
Air Cutter
Sky uppercut
Sky attack
it doesn't say, but he should also be able to learn Gust

I know Aeroblast is only Charizard, as the height at charmeleon is only 3'7"

Oh, and not sure if one happened while I was away, but any chance of a Battle Tower tourney?

EDIT: Also, if a move isn't normally learned, and isn't a TM, like Sky uppercut(hoping it isn't a tm) can it be learned as the free level 10,20,30,etc move?

[classy_cat18]

I don't know about the first question, but a move can be a level 10 TM as long as it's a TM, HM, or Move Tutor move.

[Lady Vulpix]

A stamp for Shonta.

Steve, it's surprising how no one who has/had a winged Dratini ever asked that. Alucard is Fire/Flying type, but he won't learn any Charizard-only moves by level until he becomes a Charizard (except for Fly). As for TMs, he can learn what the compatibility lists say he can learn, which for now is only Sky Attack plus the moves any Charmander can learn.

[Dark Dragonite]

New day, New question...but still about Alucard...well, sort of...
When you choose your free TM at each 10LVs., is it only from TM/HM, or could it be a Tutor Move/Egg move?

[Lady Vulpix]

Your answer lies here. Or, rather, tells the truth.

[Matt]

hoi i don't remember this anymore lol but are battle range stamps the same thing as regular stamps you get at goldenrod tower and other places?? thanks for teh help
