[attr="class","eapinfo"] Pokemon Creation HelpGeneral Overview[attr="class","eapcon"] Reading this thread is not required; however, if you're stuck, it is a great resource to take your app to the next level.[break][break] Creating Pokemon can be one of the most fun and the most challenging aspects of character creation on PLS-EAT-PKMN. This thread is to help expand on what you can do with Pokemon, moves, abilities, and custom moves. Below this post are examples of how creative you can get with your Pokemon. POKEMON APPEARANCES & BIOGRAPHIES[attr="class","eapcon"] APPEARANCES[attr="class","eapcon2"] General Sprite Resources: POKEMON STADIUM - POKEMON DATABASE[break][break] The only limit to a Pokemon appearance is Pokemon cannot start with an extra limb. As result, you can definitely get really out there with how your Pokemon looks. Maybe you have a neon pink Larvitar, or a black as night Cottonee? Maybe your Pokemon has stripes or polka dots? Scars or missing limbs from previous battles, too? [break][break] Pokemon can wear clothes, accessories, etc. just for fun, as well! These items won't function like in-game items, but they add a bit of fun to how your companion looks.[break][break] Custom Sprites are welcomed, and some members make them for fun, so don't be afraid to ask around for one if you have something in mind. BIOGRAPHIES[attr="class","eapcon2"] Pokemon are shown to have individual personalities, histories, and goals throughout the Pokemon canon. To get the most out of your companion, treat your Pokemon like another character. [break][break] The following are just a few questions to help jump-start your Pokemon creation:[break][break]
Abilities[attr="class","eapcon"] Abilities are a little more limited than moves. They must be an ability the Pokemon can use as of Generation 7 and Hidden Abilities are acceptable. [break][break] An important thing to keep in mind when picking your Abilities is that they tend to be more passive and apply more to your average role play post. So when picking your ability, think about how it'll affect interactions in the future as well as their battles - if you plan to battle. [break][break] Random examples include... Does your Pokemon's Static make your hair frizzy all the time? Does your Pokemon's Pick Up result in you finding some fast cash while walking to class? Do you need to wear special gloves when picking up your Pokemon with Poison Point? Does your Pokemon's ability only activate during battles like a defensive mechanism, or is it something to be wary of all the time? MOVE POOLS[attr="class","eapcon"] MOVE SELECTION PROMPTS[attr="class","eapcon2"] There are over 600 Pokemon Moves available, making selecting a move pool a daunting task. Here are a few ways to get started on a Pokemon's Moveset... [break][break]
NONSTANDARD MOVES[attr="class","eapcon2"] Nonstandard Moves are what set your Pokemon apart from the pack. It can turn a Pokemon with a narrow move pool, like Magikarp, into a specialized, entirely combat viable beast. Keep in mind that a Nonstandard Move still needs to make sense on the Pokemon. The reasons for your Pokemon knowing Nonstandard Moves can range from serious struggles to silly accidents.[break][break] An example of an acceptable explanation for gaining a Nonstandard Move is through Mutation. Perhaps a Pokemon has a certain gland that enables them to produce a certain element like a Magikarp that breathes fire so they know Flamethrower or a Magikarp that dribbles a mild poison from their mouth and can spit Toxic. Quirks of biology are a great way to explain how a Pokemon would use an otherwise nonsensical Nonstandard Move.[break][break] Another example is maybe your Pokemon's life style resulted in them learning a Nonstandard Move. IE, maybe your Magikarp had to travel upstream a lot in the wild, and learned Waterfall or Surf to navigate the wild waters and rapids.[break][break] Their personality could inspire moves, as well! Maybe your Magikarp has a temper and vented it through smashing rocks all the time, resulting in them learning Rock Smash. [break][break] Or just for hilarity's sake, you physically throw your Magikarp at the enemy and that's how your Magikarp uses Flying Press. Custom Moves[attr="class","eapcon2"] Custom Moves represent the hard work you and your Pokemon have gone through. They can only be attained by Pokemon who have made a special bond with their trainer. A Custom Move can be offensive, defensive, restorative, or status-inflicting in nature, or any reasonable combination thereof. As they are unique to each individual Pokemon, we allow Custom Moves to be more powerful than your average Move, so long as they are not autohits, autododges, or consequence-/condition-less HP full restores. [break][break] Some example Custom Moves can be found below: [break][break]
Descriptions[attr="class","eapcon2"] Firstly, it's important to keep in mind that your descriptions don't have to be super detailed or really long! As long as you get the idea across and cover a few simple bases, you're set to go. [break][break] A good description includes what the Move looks like, where it originates from on the Pokemon - or in the environment, and what affect it has on the user/opponent. It's some lovely flavor text inspired by the move's official descriptions that you can find on Bulbapedia. The look, feel, etc. of the move is ultimately decided by you as long as you keep the "Spirit" of the move in mind while creating it. [break][break] For moves that affect the environment, like Weather Related moves, you should explain how your companion just screwed over the weatherman's forecast. In example, think about a move like Sunny Day! Does a Pokemon create it's own mini-sun that heats up the environment? Where does that little sun come from? Their mouth? Their heart? Or does it intensify the power of the actual sun's rays with it's mind? What does the environment look like after they've done this? Is it really gosh darn hot and bright? [break][break] Moves with beams of light, energy, or elements need a source of origin for those crazy things! Does it come from the Pokemon's eyes? Mouth? Does your Pokemon radiate light or energy when using Psychic moves? Does the light have a specific color? Does that color mean anything? [break][break] For moves based on a Pokemon's general Charisma, like Intimidate or Swagger, are the effects a result of your Pokemon's attitude problems? Or are they radiating a powerful aura that effects the emotions or Pokemon around them?

Move List[attr="class","plist"] Blossom of BladesNobunaga spins his body as he performs a flurry of rapid but precise strikes, pursuing the opponent where every they may flee to. With the burst of speed utilized for this technique there are few pokemon that can get away completely unscathed. This fast and dangerous move that leaves the user dizzy and confused for the next round. | ABILITY[attr="class","plist"] GutsWhen Nobunaga can feel some sort of ailment, such as poison, burns or paralysis, starting to take a toll on his body his bushido spirit starts to come out in full force. In times like this he becomes strangely empowered, greatly increasing the force he puts into each attack. |
[attr="class","plist2"] Dual ChopNobunaga's charges his katanas with draconic energy, which manifests itself as a dark blue aura before performing a pair of slashes. The attacks come out in a rapid succession, but if he delays the slashes for moment he has just enough time to quickly reposition himself before the energy fades. [break][break] Cross ChopA heavy swing in which all four blades are swung simultaneously, each one in an X formation. The attack strikes multiple angles simultaneously, making it much more likely to strike a vital or otherwise weak point on the target. When it does the damage it deals is significantly more devastating. [break][break] Sacred SwordAll four of his blades are brought together in front of him, at which point all four arms start channeling energy into the weapons to form a single blade of pure white energy. The energy that makes up the blade is capable of passing through any sort of techniques one may have used to increase their evasiveness or defenses, but is still ultimately stopped by barrier techniques. [break][break] Flash CannonNobunaga holds his blades up to the light, absorbing the ambiant energy into his blades. He then releases the energy from all four blades at once in a single beam of light. There's a chance that the beam will pierce the target's defenses and lower their resistance to similar techniques. [break][break] Double TeamAfter performing what could only be described as a bizarre sword dance followed by a flash of light Nobunaga creates a pair of illusions identical to himself. When he does this he is able to swap positions with one of the duplicates, making it more difficult to tell which is the real one. Luckily the fakes will dissipate the moment something disrupts their forms. [break][break] DetectNobunaga focuses completely on watching and predicting his opponent's next move he is able to completely negate the attack with either a swift dodge or a well timed parry. Unfortunately he's not as quick as he used to be, making it difficult for him to perform such death defying maneuvers in rapid succession. | |

Nobunaga was always a strange one ever since he was nothing but a baby machop in the home of his master, a member of the ninja clan in Fuchsia City. They attempted to train him in martial arts, but he never seemed to take well to hand to hand combat. It wasn't until he climbed his way up to grab a katana mounted on the wall that his calling was discovered. The small fighter took to the way of the blade well, swinging it with grace and ease much to the surprise of his master. The man took great interest in his pokemon's progress from this point on, doing everything he could to help them develop a unique style fitting of it's talents.[break][break]
He started off with one blade, eventually learning to handle two once he evolved into a machamp. It was at that point that his skills reached a point to where he was appointed as the primary guardian of his master's estate. It was a solitary job that was largely uneventful, save for the occasional rival ninjas that sought to infiltrate and recover one of the master's treasures. As time went on and his training progressed he would eventually grow into a loyal and honorable machamp and gain mastery over wielding four blades simultaneously.[break][break]
Unfortunately his master was an elderly man, one which Nobunaga always knew he would outlive. Yet even as he passed he remained loyaly on watch over the man's estate until an old friend and familiar face came to visit to pay his respects. The man offered not only his condolences, but also a new purpose for the samurai. He suggested that he accompany him back to a university in Sinnoh where he may put his techniques to practice in helping to shape and teach young pokemon how to be just and honorable fighters. Knowing full well that his master would want him to move on with his life and pass the wisdom he had earned on Nobu accepted the offer. To this day he watches over the Sinnoh Elite Academy and the pokemon who call it home, encouraging them to pursue their own path and develop their own techniques rather than doing what is expected of them.[break][break]
