Jarulso is a Cofagrigus pokethrope to clarify as his GM... I apologize for the nuking of his character by Kyurem but at the time that 20 was too funny not to pass up.

Most of mine aren't all that funny, but I suppose I could try sharing a few...

Players
1. Do not encourage the psychic child who thinks she's a pirate.
2. Do not allow said child sole access to the MacGuffin briefcase.
3. On second thought, let her do whatever she wants, so long as you keep her pointed away from the party.
4. Punching rock-types hurts.
5. Same goes for steel-types.
6. There are solutions to problems other than punching them.
7. There are solutions to problems other than diplomacy.
7a. That doesn't mean to stop trying diplomacy.

As a GM
1. I am forbidden from using any member of the geodude family in encounters.
2. I am forbidden from putting the fear of Magikarp into the party.
3. I am not allowed to put irresistibly adorable pokemon in the party's path.
3a. This goes double if the pokemon is far more dangerous than it appears.
4. I am forbidden from putting the fear of Joltik into the party.

Okay, the "Forbidden from putting the fear of X" ones need some context. Please?

Pokemon Australia. Rampaging gyarados cause a massive flood. Since trainers in the setting were essentially National Guard (and a dozen gyarados were waaaay too dangerous for the party to fight just yet), they were pitching in by setting up sandbags and fighting off swarming magikarp that were being driven nuts by Plot Point.

So they took out a couple magikarps that were high enough level to have Tackle, fought and captured a Shiny Magikarp that knew Bounce... and had to contend with schools of angry magikarp ramming the wall and going crazy. Splash seems a little more dangerous when hard scaled fish are using it to smash through shop windows, just for starters...

I still maintain that that was the highlight of the brief campaign, since every PC had a chance to stand up and contribute in a meaningful way.


For the joltik... I forget the exact details, but the PCs were out looking for pokemon. Near a power plant, I think. There were a couple voltorbs and some joltiks just chilling out and eating. Party realized pretty quickly that joltiks can be dangerous in groups.

Also, they tried to telepathically communicate with one. Which I found hilarious. He didn't have much to say, though:
Spoiler: click to toggle


And after getting the mental image of an adorable little joltik rearing up on its rear legs and shouting that at them, they all decided they HAD to catch it.


Stuff like that is why I keep an eye on the game's development. I basically want a vehicle for fun, hilarious and awesome moments, but currently the system feels bogged down by some mechanics. But I hold out hope and keep checking back, since anything that can make me smile is worth giving a second chance.
