Catching a Pokemon

[Leaf]

Ready to go out and catch your very own pokemon?! Well, this page will explain how you can do just that.

• One catching thread at a time
  I know we want to catch them all, but sadly we can't do it in one day. Also, the Admin and Mods want to be able to play there own characters as well. Being stuck in 5 mod threads for one character catching pokemon is sort of a drag.
  
  
• Pokeballs
  Pokeballs are the only type of catching device the Empire of Dowr has invented. Great balls, Ultra balls, etc, have not yet been invented. Luckily for you, there is an unlimited supply. You do not have to buy Pokeballs. Yes, you do have to use a Pokeball to catch a pokemon.
  
  
• Pokemon Encounters
  Each Region of Dowr has its own set of unique pokemon and levels. Only those certain pokemon can be found there, most of the time. There is a small chance that you could encounter a pokemon that doesn't belong there.
  
  Just because you can find a pokemon in the area you are in doesn't mean you will run into it. Some pokemon are harder to find than others. The Admin and Mods have no control over what pokemon you run into. It will all be decided by the roll of a die. However, they can decide how many of that pokemon show up after they have rolled the die. If they roll a Ratatta, they can choose to have a pack of 10 of them suddenly appear.
  
  There will also be a small chance that the pokemon you run into will have a special colour. This is also something that is decided with dice.
  
  
• Catching the Pokemon
  Lets battle! Wait, why did it run away? Everyone always assumes that the only way to catch a pokemon is by battling it. It is a very effective way to catch one, however, it’s not your only option. You always have the option of making friends with the pokemon first. Help solve there problems. Make deals with them. Or if you are really devious, try blackmailing them. Whichever works best for you. Just keep in mind that you are not limited to battles only.
  
  
• Woot I caught the Pokemon!
  Once you’ve caught a pokemon, the Admin/Mod will give you all the information you need to know about it. This includes, Name, level, type, gender, abilities, attacks and personality. Once you’ve received this information the Pokemon becomes yours. You are in control of the pokemon. However, don’t forget to read the personality and play it accordingly. If you caught a pokemon who runes from every battle, then it probably wouldn’t be starting any fights.
