The first outing me and the rest of the team makes we enter a cave and spook a baby Teddiursa. It starts crying and attracts other pokemon. While the mystic is trying to channel the teddiursa to stop it's crying, and everybody else is fighting a bunch of zubats, my character gets annoyed by the noise (the humans were arguing and fighting at the same time) and throws a pokeball. I believe the roll was 6. I caught a baby teddiursa, which as an added bonus was shiny, without touching it. We then had to fight off the mother. Another time he was fighting, and trying to catch, a Marshomp. A series of bad rolls incapacitates my whole team (being my Bulbasaur starter and the teddiursa from earlier). About midway through the fight he tosses a pokeball at the Marshomp. It misses... by a lot. But, he did catch a level 10 Squirtle. It was a Christmas present from the GM (each player got a level 10 pokemon from their "dream team") That second part isn't awesome, but it does set a standard for good things when he throws pokeballs out of desperation, so that is one of his best problem solving methods up to now. |

I've seen this somewhere before... I think our MA did this too, as a first resort, quite a few times. It did work. |

The first time I played and GMed was IRL at a friends with eight players at the table - this was before I knew that any of this stuff (the forums, the wiki, the excel sheets, PTU, etc.) existed: I'd been given the PDFs by the guy who intro'ed me to tabletops and to GMing. I sat down, statted their starters for them, and set them loose in a city I likened to Chicago but with taller buildings and more crime (how is this possible). Within minutes, I had lost control of the table. One of the players decided halfway through the session that he hated Pokemon, that it was stupid, and that he was done with it, all of which he screamed at us before leaving the house and walking home (he was drunk, we found out later. How did we not see that beforehand? Good Q...) My other seven then decided, "Hey! Y'know what you never see? Someone rob a Pokecenter." So, with their four-year old Psychic in tow (also before Mystic was available, so no channeling, he was just a wild kid the party'd found), who was riding a Rhyhorn, they attempted to storm a Pokecenter and take all the money. Not wanting to quash their entrepreneurial crime-committing spirit, I rolled a random amount of cash among the NPCs in the center and the till at the Pokemart inside, then told them what was happening. That selfsame four year-old picked up a potted plant (telekinetically), killed Nurse Joy with it, and then proceeded to pee his pants in the middle of the center. The Medic went to make sure that the nurse was okay (even though her skull was split wide open) and then declared him dead with the officious, "I am a doctor. This woman is dead." Afterwards, as the police rushed to the scene, the party began a seven Pokemon, one Psychic, one Martial Artist rampage through the city, running from authorities and still trying to make a profit off of it as they went, knocking down women and children and taking money, purses, Pokeballs, and everything they could put their hands on. They eventually fled into a sewer. Besides being covered in filth, they actually survived and escaped capture. They began a black market crime ring in the underbelly by taking the items they'd stolen and selling them, then using the profit to fuel a Pokemon theft gang that terrorized back alleys and rampaged, a four year-old on a Rhyhorn leading the fray every time. It was an interesting campaign. The first session was one I will never forget. Edited by Dr von Darkmoor, Mar 17 2014, 08:22 AM.

Our party consisting of a Body Snatcher, Aura User, Ghost Ace/FireBreather, and Move Tutor/Researcher were in a haunted house when we come upon some suits of armor. Being suspicious players the Body Snatcher and Aura User immediately throw pokeballs at the suits of armor. They roll really low and catch them. They were just suits of armor. THEY STOLE SUITS OF ARMOR FROM THE HAUNTED HOUSE. We later went into a room with some pots, and their first instict is "well it worked on the armor so..." and they threw pokeballs. They failed to catch and they turned out to be Spiritombs, but still. |

They caught suits of armor...dude, that's a fantastic failure on their part. Bravo, GM! |

I started a campaign last friday with some friends. It's my first time GMing and a lot of my players have never role played so I did not expect much in terms of cool moments... one of my players' starter is a togepi. Its only offensive move in the beginning is metronome. He was trying to catch a Marill but it wasn't working (tried twice and missed, once throwing the pokeball in the lake while the marill is right to him and the other he just dropped the ball...), so he told his togepi to use metronome to do a bit of damage. I use a randomizer to find the move and get Eruption! The togepi was at full health so full damage.... so his togepi knocked him out while the others players who were already laughing from afar saw this column of fire. The funniest thing was that the Marill basically just walk away with just 20 hp less than before! |

Well I just started a Jurassic Park based Campaign for craps and giggles with a friend of mine. I gave him two level 30 Pokemon for starters, and set him to level 10. First combat session (the previous one was RP and setting the stage) I set him up against a level 70 homebrew Pokemon I created (Glaciodon, basically an Ice/Rock Spinosaurus). The combat session was one of the sorts he was not supposed to WIN, but survive. I had set up a series of rocks that were too narrow for it to pass through that he could dodge through and avoid taking hits until he was out of the arena. I did not count on my friend's hilarious stupidity working in his favor. His Lairon drew its aggro, making Icicle Crash miss with its massive Defense Evasion, then his Golett somehow managed to, on the next turn, deal just enough damage to bring it to 1HP from FULL. By hitting with Dynamicpunch. Keep in mind this was a level 30 Pokemon doing that much to a level 70, and it could have done far more. In his wisdom he threw one of the Ultra Balls he had with his starting cash, the Capture DC being 30 something or lower. If you don't see where this story is going yet, he succeeded in capturing a Pokemon that at best, I hadn't intended him to catch until endgame. And he's got medic capabilities, so healing those Injuries won't take very long. tl;dr, he pretty much wrecked the entire campaign in session one. While laughable (I went crazy for a bit, but it was hilarious), this probably means that I have to rework the vast majority of my encounters after this. |

A friend and I started a Poke-pocalyptic campaign a few months ago. I came up with the idea, and he (the GM) decided it would be take place [X and Y SPOILER] Spoiler: click to toggle Anyway, through a chain of events (HA! Irony), I teamed up with Rocket (because they're good guys) and got sent to Cinnabar to find something. In a cave on the island, I meet a Rocket Scientist who took me into a cave where she had found a huge red chain. I needed to take it with me on my journey, and eventually landed back in my home town of Lavender. When I arrived, it was more of a ghost town than normal. A Grunt found me (and the scientist, cause I had brought her) and took us to the Tower, where he pushed a lever or something at the tombstone of a Raticate, and stairs appeared below it. In the basement below, I met Giovanni, who I bombarded with questions I had for him (plot stuff). He led us into a chamber, surrounded by thick metal walls and numerous machines and computers. The doors slammed shut behind us - all of them - and he told me to stand at the center of this big contraption, where there sat a small cardboard box. "Is this a teleportation device?" I asked Giovanni. He ignored me and ordered the machines to turn on, and after several minutes, I noticed the red chain (and another, on the opposite side of the room) started glowing. Then Dialga and Palkia appeared, with red metal collars around their necks. "Is this a teleportation device?" I shouted as more energy surged through the computers and machines, then a shadow passed over the wall. Machines were sparking, some were already shutting down, and Giritina appeared from the shadow. The machine in which I stood surged one final time before the room filled with white light. Trainer blacked out. When I came to, a Fennekin was licking my face, and a girl nearby asked "Are you okay?" "I just teleported from Lavender Town to..." Looking around, I noticed that the field or hill or wherever I was didn't look like crap. I was in Kalos, and the apocalypse hadn't happened yet. I had just traveled through space and time. |
