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

[Aipom Of Doom]

Adopted/Captured Pokemon
Adopted Pokemon and Captured Pokemon are two large, related games spread over multiple topics in this subforum. Basically, for each of these games, you can obtain Pokemon and train them in different ways. You can adopt Pokemon by asking for them from one of the adoption centers, and/or capture them from the Capture Centers.

After you have some Pokemon, you can write battles for them. From the many games, you can win items, stamps (currency of Adopted Pokemon), and CCPs (currency of Captured Pokemon). Stamps and CCPs can be redeemed for various items and services in different topics.

For more detailed information, you can read the FAQ.

The games on this forum are bound to the GGG Rules except for Rule 6 of the Games section, and, obviously, all threads are bound to the TPM General Rules.

The rules listed below are specific to this subforum.

RULES

1) We currently have two Adoption Centers:

Dragon Tamers
Pokemon Zoo

Two is the limit, so do not ask to create another, and do not try to post one, it will be closed.

2) We currently have two Capture Centers:

Crystal Caves
Pokemon Avengers

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

3) You can breed for new adopted or captured pokemon at Pocket Monsters Breeding Center.

4) If you recieve a Pokemon from anything not listed here, it is not an Adopted Pokemon, and will no be accepted within the Adoption System.

5) You are allowed 30 Pokemon overall. Which means that you can get 15 from the Adoption Centers and another 15 from the Capture Centers. You will not be allowed to use extra spots to pass the 15 limit.

6) You are free to trade your adopted pokemon with other trainers. However, if what you want is to put one of your adopted pokemon back in an Adoption Center, you'll have to pay a fee of 5 stamps. The following rule applies when disowning a pokemon: no trainer is allowed to adopt any pokemon on the same day they abandon one ('day' meaning a 24-hour period). Also, no pokemon can be abandoned until at least a month has passed since their adoption, and pokemon of level 18 or higher can't be given back for adoption at all.


For more information on AC/CC please contact the workers of the respective topics.

Here's a list of the people you'll most likely receive assistance from in the respective AC/CC topics:

Dragon Tamers: Lady Vulpix, Wolfsong, Classy_cat18, Hypotenuse Man, lvl100mewtwo
PokeZoo: Lady Vulpix, Wolfsong
Crystal Caves: Wolfsong

Links
Dragon Tamers Adoption Center
This is one of the two places you can adopt a Pokemon. The Pokemon here are generic and normal; you can make them act however you want. Just be sure to look in the last few pages for the last updated list of Pokemon, and then pick one to adopt.

Pokezoo Adoption Center
This is the other adoption center. The Pokemon here have a few sentences describing their general personality, which could give you a starting point for how to make them act in your stories. Of course, you can change the personalities listed here if you really want to. Of course, make sure that you look for the last list near the end when you pick one to adopt.

Dragon Tamers Battle Range
At the Battle Range you write battles for your adopted Pokemon to gain levels, and for you to get Stamps. There is always one active scenario, which explains the situation you're writing about, and what Pokemon you'll be facing. Scenarios stay active for a while, so you have plenty of time to write a good battle, and get many stamps as a reward.

Dragon Tamers Reward Center
You can use your stamps to buy various items for yourself and your Pokemon. These items range from TMs to juices that let you change the colors of your Pokemon to enhancers for particular types of Pokemon. Also, you can buy the right to breed for an elusive Dratini here.

Crystal Caves Capture Center
This one of the two Capture Centers. Here, you go to different areas to fight and try to capture Pokemon. These, obviously, are Captured Pokemon, which are counted seperately form Adopted ones.

Crystal Caves Battle Arena
You can train your captured Pokemon here. Like the Battle Range, there are scenerios for you to follow. Also, you can use the Random Battle Generator here to fight a completely random
Pokemon at a cost. You get CCPs as a reward for your writing.

Crystal Caves Kiosk
Treat your captees that you've ensnared at either Capture Center to a wide selection of TMs, items to use in battle, enhancers, juices, and much more! Make sure you have a decent amount of CCPs!

Pokemon Avengers Capture Center
The old Pokemon Avengers Capture Center has reopened! You can start capturing Pokemon there as well.

Eevee House
This is a place where you can hang out with your adopted pokemon. You can also let them make friends and have fun, and enter your adopted pokemon in monthly races for the prize of two levels or an item.

Goldenrod Tower
Here you can get items for your pokemon by answering daily polls or playing fun games.

Pocket Monsters Breeding Center
Are you tired of waiting for a pokemon to show up at the adoption centers, or can't seem to find the one you want at the capture center? Why not check out the list of available pokes and see if we have the one you're looking for? You can have your own pokemon breed here too.

PokeZoo Battle Tower
Have a gameboy-like battle here against another trainer with your adopted or captured Pokemon. You fight a 1-on-1 or 2-on-2 battle that works roughly in the same way as in the games (note: Surf works as in Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire, it doesn't affect the partner). The winning Pokemon gains a level for it's victory.

The Dragon's Guild
The place where it all began. Here you can have some in-character interaction (AC only), as well as ask questions, and share any interesting findings (in real life, on the web, anywhere).

Dragon Tamers Information Center
The out-of-character thread to share and request any and all information regarding the Dragon Tamers storyline.

Currently unavailable:

Expedia: The Maiden Islands
Jump into an adventure with two of your Pokemon as you explore the Maiden Islands and encounter exotic lands, new people, and many surprises. CURRENTLY ON HIATUS DUE TO MAIN PLAYERS LEAVING.

Buena's Radio Show
Here you get questions of different diffculties regarding Pokemon games. If you answer the questions correctly, you get stamps or CCPs.

[Lady Vulpix]

I have updated the links.
CC people, please tell either me, another mod, or Danny whenever you post a new version of your topics, so that we can keep this list up to date and it remains useful.

[Matt]

Uh, Gabi, might you put the CCCC shop in the list of links?

[Lady Vulpix]

Danny has already done that job.

[Crystalmaster Mike]

Umm... The Goldenrod Tower link still leads to the old version...

[andyizcool]

Just want to tell you a lot of the links take you to old versions of stuff just so you might want to change them all.

~Andrew

[Jay]

Hmm. My re-write of the main rules doesn't contain the general information about Adopted/Captured Pokémon, like the maximum amount we're allowed to own. I figured this topic would pertain them.

Someone might want to add that in here?

[Lady Vulpix]

Done, Jay.
Oh, I've sent you 2 PMs in response to yours. I've sent them to the other mods too, and they got Becca's approval and Amy's acknowledgement.

One change is added to them, though: the Dragon Tamers have one more worker: Charizard04621, a.k.a. Karin.

[Dark Dragonite]

Guys, Crystal Caves Capture Center is closed, and I don't see a new version of it, is there something wrong with it??

EDIT: I think I found out why, but is there any way of resolving it soon?

[Jay]

I'd give it a few days, Steve.

[Mr SmileAKASkrusti]

Erm, for some reason I was re-reading the rules, and I saw this little technical error:

1) We currently have two Adoption Centers:

Dragon Tamers
Pokemon Zoo

Three is the limit, so do not ask to create another, and do not try to post one, it will be closed.

(Edit) oh, and so this isn't spammishy, is there anything I can do to help resolve the little conflict?

[Jay]

Yes, I'll edit it out since it's supposed to read two. ^_^;;;

The conflict has been resolved so Crystal Caves has a few changes in worker positions that'll affect some people, but thanks for your generous offer! ^___~

I also updated the new links to the version so yaya ^______^

[Shadow Djinn]

Hm..I know we can trade pokemon but where do we post to confirm, etc?

I'm gonna be trading with someone..so yea..

[Jay]

Oops. Hmm, the links didn't update O_o;; Meh... i'll do them again. At least I know which ones are broken.

Shadow Djinn, you can post your information in either adoption center. Doesn't matter which one, as long as a group of people know ^_^

[andyizcool]

How can you become a worker somewhere to help them out?

~Andrew

[Crystalmaster Mike]

It's like becoming a mod:

• post at the respective domain
• go there often
• DON'T ask for becoming 'it'!

[Jay]

Thanks, Mike.

Usually your chances will improve whenever a workplace asks for new workers to help out, otherwise your chances are slim. If you're around for a while in a respective topic that'll help too.

[Dark Dragonite]

Ok, Meowth's Pokedex is down, and pokemonfanuniverse is saying forbidden on the server, so is there a pokedex like pokemonfanuniverse that is around for useage??

[Matt]

I just got into pokemonfanuniverse but anyway :o. You could always go here but it's down a lot of some reason. But when it's up, it's a really good source.

[Lady Vulpix]

And there's always Gengar and Haunter's Pokemon Dungeon for RBYGSC pokemon, and Ultimate Pokemon Network for RS pokemon.

And for RS info on all 386 pokemon, there's always the pokedex attached to this post.

Ummm, according to that, Raichu should know fly as you catch one in R/B/Y

I have a CC Raichu, updating attacks, what is this??

[Jay]

Fly is a NYPC move for Raichu and its family. I deem it as invalid.

That is a little grotesque anyway. A flying rodent?

LOL, I am somewhat glad to see Raichu family not get Fly!!

Although, there are Flying Squirrels.

[Jay]

Flying squirrels have a gliding membrane which allows that to transpire. When its legs are hindered, the membrane forms a wing-like gliding surface. Rodents, and other squirrels alike, don't have them which makes them unique.

Unless, of course, you breed for a mutated one. If that is even possible right now.

[Lady Vulpix]

Even if a mutant Pichu was born, it wouldn't be able to fly. The mutation would manifest in a different way (I still don't know which yet). And yes, that pokedex has wrong information (probably from the NYPC). That's what led Kyle to believe Porygon could learn Fire Blast.

[Jay]

It depends on the mutant manifestation for a Pichu to be able to soar, does it not? Rather than saying that no matter where the wings grow, it can't fly at all.

[Lady Vulpix]

Mutation doesn't necessarily mean wings. That's what I meant.

[Dark Dragonite]

The UPN Pokedex has a move called "Surprise" at Lv.13 for Sableye, which I think should be Astonish, since "Surprise" isn't in the TM/HM list

[Jay]

Surprise is also known as Astonish.

Surprise is the Japanese name for it - some pokedexes you'll find will have those Japanese names. Those dexes were probably created before the proper English version of Ruby/Sapphire were released.

[Dark Dragonite]

I know I've been given it before, but can someone link me to a site that has all the moves, including R/S ones, with attack power, accuracy, and effects?

[Lady Vulpix]

http://forboards.tripod.com

There's one page for GSC moves and another for RS moves with all the info we can use. There's also a section that says which moves affect both opponents (or both opponents and the partner) in 2-on-2 battles.

[Linux]

could i get info on the tm lists for the kiosk? i heard they were under construction... just wondering how that's coming along

[Lady Vulpix]

Matt and Frank said they would do it. It seems they didn't. I don't think Jay will want to take part in it, so that will probably be up to Amy, Karin, Cheesey and myself.

[Linux]

that's a lot of work, I hope you get it all done.

meh I have another query. what's up with all the inactive workers at some places? it's getting on my nerves

the inactive people would be pokemasterfrank (not brs, just the capture center) and CMM (goldenrod). frank is quite active at brs but at the caves he has only posted 5 times in the past 4 version. I think that's pretty bad. CMM's activity at the goldenrod tower had dropped during the last few versions. when he's needed to post the new version he is never around, and I believe others can take ownership better than they can. there are a rough 10 people who are more active than he

eh, now my biggest concern, is link 10. this person sucked up the the owner of crystal caves (cheesey) to show he was really worthy afterall. so what happened was he was told to update by cheesey, did so, and cheesey just assumed he'd become active again. but did he? no. I believe jay has also talked about it with cheesey but he doesn't seem to believe him. he had warned link 10 numerous times about his inactivity when he was an owner and cheesey doesn't take it into consideration. I want this dude fired in place of jay who kept 3 versions running by himself, and does cheesey want that? no. I think the age of current owners is very humdrum

get rid of these people, they are a waste of space. if someone can't handle being a worker then they shouldn't be working at all

[Lady Vulpix]

I'd like to hear what the people involved have to say. No flaming, please.

[Crystalmaster Mike]

It's up to my co-workers to decide, I guess. I don't know whether an activity-increase is coming to me any time soon (what with school eating me up), and if there're more members who think someone would get the job done better than me, I shan't stand in the way.

But... It's up to my co-workers and all the regulars at the GT to decide, I think.

[Jay]

I believe Matt had sucked up to me twice, but anyway. One of his excuses was that he had a few tests he was studying for, so I let that go.

Matt wormed his way out of this by saying stuff to Chris like "You hate me don't you?!", and he felt sorry for him. I think that was very amiss what Chris did. Matt should have been executed a while ago.

[Cheesey]

I think Matt did stall me - I thought he was going to stay active after he did about 3 updates at the CCCC, but then he stopped, and I assume he thought he was going to get away with it. Yeah, I felt sorry for him, but that was only because I thought he was being sincere about it =/. I'll give him... 3-5 days or something. I'll talk to him - Last time I gave him 48 hours. This time, if he doesn't update in the 48 hours he's fired, and if he doesn't stay active he'll be fired.

One thing that rather surprised me was a pathetic reason tossed at me last time. I told him that we're all quite busy now and we need all the help we can get. He said 'oh and im not busy >:o'... It's weird that Amy can update even with all her jobs around the boards, and she's in college too. I've asked Frank if he can update more, and he said he would... But he hasn't. x_X Thing is, if Frank does update it'll be great because he's not as stubborn as Matt can be sometimes, and his updates are very good.

About the GT problem - I dunno... I know Mike's busy with school, but I think me, Kyle, Danny and of course Mike will have to takl about it first... I don't think 'Mike you're fired >:o' would be very good >_>;

I'm trying to sort out the difficulties around the CCCC - I mean, 2 active owners who get the job done and about 3 workers would be a dream, but I don't think that'll happen very quickly.

[Jay]

But you see that's where he gets away with it when you give him a bit of time to update, he will, then he'll be back to updating once every two weeks.

If Matt is going to be a stubborn prick he needs to be fired immediately, as he should have last time we talked, Chris.

[pokemasterfrank]

Bleh x_x Sorry all. I haven't really been on much. I'll try to update more x_x And the TM/HM list exists o_o Its on a website...that I've forgotten ^_^;;; Matt got the e-mail for the password and stuff, so I think he knows :o
