I just actually submitted something there not long ago. Also that makes a lot of sense it could also lead to a lot of interesting character development. I still don't have a way to lead progression and difficulty. I also helped submit ideas recently, and used this character as example http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2014/327/6/a/__battlefield_flower___by_pinkcherry97-d86qtvm.jpg So like that petilil kit should be needed. Also probably some amount of shinys(slightly increased from 2/100) and well natured pokemon to help finish. Also i do need help statting out MBS. She's street smart, and cute, uut tries to act tough Background giving every contest stat but intimidating, and taking away from intimidate. Even though she really wants to seem tough she just can't cause pink hair. How would you do mind body spirit for a character like that. (Haven't had to use it yet but have used her in contest.) EDIT also looking for music. Music always makes contest better. Have at least one smart and tough track figured out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOt0tW26hRY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5Ka0WFqftA sorry for mildly off topic last bit.

(The entirety of this post is written without a full knowledge of PTU Contests, as I've been staying as far away as I can from that whole mess until it gets touched up). Well, if the main focus of the campaign is the Contests and moving from town to town to follow them, it may be a decent idea to institute a Circuit Points system (with amateur/pro tiers). It'd be a little unfair if newcomers had to compete against the best Contest Champions in their first tournaments. Making Amateur and Pro Leagues/Circuits gives the setting some legitimacy and something the players can aspire to. Contests are more character focused that your regular Journey game. A neat idea would be to make some specific Trainers that you showcase as the best of the best, the Tiger Woods or Pelé of that world. Maybe even have them as a guest Judge in an Amateur Contest so the players can meet them in person. I actually just spent like, 20 minutes looking up how circuit points work, and there's no concrete way to do them, so I'll just link how the World Series Poker does theirs. You don't need to keep it to just 1st/2nd/3rd/etc. though. Say, earning the biggest score at an event awards bonus Circuit Points. http://www.wsop.com/2012/circuit/2012-13-WSOP-CIRCUIT-POINTS-CHART.pdf Some ideas to give certain events a unique feel:
*: It may actually be a good idea to set most of the Contests up like this, as a fallback. Say the player(s) fails the Contest in TOWN, and head off to CITY to compete in a major event. They can return to TOWN later on and enter again. But once they win the TOWN Contest, they can't enter again and "farm" Circuit Points. How the End of Season Grand Event picks Coordinators could go a couple ways.
Actually, both versions may work. The first works well for an Amateur level Circuit; hit a certain total, and you're set for the season until the finale. The second puts a lot of pressure on Coord, which is expected when in a Professional league. All in all, it's up to you. Setting up a region wide year long competition is a lot of work, which is why in the real world, there are committees who's only job is setting up, preparing, and monitoring them. |
