Pokemon: A New [Phalla] World
An Obi-Phalla Adventure, co-hosted by @Matev where you shape a world with persistent characters and your knowledge about other players matters from game to game.
Scenario
Story so far...
A new Region has been discovered! Well, they are calling it "new", but it turns out they may have found the birthplace or origin of every pokemon in the world. They are calling it Arcadia and you have been selected to populate and form an official league. Before a league can be formed your expedition needs to map out the region, discover the pokemon inhabitants, and determine its first Champion.
Some of you were professional battlers and had formed an amazing team of skilled and powerful pokemon. When you heard that you had a chance to be the very first Champion of a region, you immediately jumped at the opportunity. The other trainers don't stand a chance against your training abilities.
Some of you were famous explorers who had made a name for themselves by discovering pokemon secrets and hidden pokemon powers. The idea of a new region is too much for trainers like those. New areas, new secrets, and all new adventures await.
Some of you were meticulous collectors with complete Pokedex and boxes full of Pokemon. You left it all behind to start over with the hopes of discovering new pokemon and the challenge of being the first to catalog the new Region.
A very few of you, though, don't belong and had to sneak, lie, and cheat your way into the expedition. But that's because they don't understand you. The Pokemon League will pay for that and Team Rocket is the organization that will let you accomplish your goals.
For whatever reason you are here, you are responsible for this new region. It is up to to decide what it will be like.
The Pokemon team you end up with in this game is the team you will have at the beginning of the next. The things you discover and the information you share about your trainer, pokemon, and their powers will carry over. The results of this game will determine roles, powers, general story, and more of the next Pokemon Phalla. Play wisely.
Game Overview
Genre: Village v Mafia with a heavy dose of interactivity and choice for all. The game was created so that everyone would have something to do and could play a very important part in their side's eventual victory or defeat. At its heart it is still a Phalla game, Penny Arcade Forum's version of the party game Mafia. If this is your first game, it will be informative to visit the linked topic for some background information.
Special Mechanics and Game Design
This is an ObiPhalla. Beware and be excited. Some basics about what I generally do and do not do in my games:
1) I do not like straight seering. I prefer for the village to have to work together to root out the mafia. If at all possible, networks should not be necessary if everyone pays attention and works together in the thread.
2) I hate mechanics that reward or do not punish an inactive mafia. Most of my games require the mafia to be active and work to muddy the waters and/or stay hidden. Mistakes or poor choices in the side games can and very often do reveal them.
3) There will be a fairly heavy "side-game" (in this case the Adventure Board) that rewards powers or, as is the case with this game, helps determines the winner of the game as a whole. This side game should also be used by the village to help root out the mafia and for the mafia to cause problems in that information process. These side games never have enough information to find the entire mafia on their own.

These side games never have enough information to find the entire mafia on their own.
With all that being said, here are the things unique to this game:
The Adventure Board
There will be a proboard created called the Adventure Board. You will be asked to signup on a proboard using your Trainer Name. You will be granted access to the subforum for the area of the map (see Trainer Actions) you currently reside. All secrets are discovered on this forum and the only way to know which trainers are in your area is to visit this board as well. Additionally, this forum can be used to PM other trainers regardless of if they are in your area or not. Beware that letting someone know your forum/trainer name combination can be dangerous as the game population will now know how best to beat you in the tournament, if you have discovered any secrets, etc. This information will also carry over to the next game(s) as well.
The Tournament
Tournament Bracket:
The tournament is how the Arcadia Champion will be decided and will be played out by typical mafia v village roles. It will be initially seeded, in order, by the first 16 signups. As players are eliminated (voted or vigged) from this thread, they will be replaced by the next available player in the signup list. So if, for instance, the #1 seed is voted out during the first day, then the 17th signup would take their place. Once there are only 16 players left in the game, the Tournament Phase will begin. Voting and Vigging will no longer eliminate a player outright, but instead prevent their highest evolved and most happy pokemon from fighting in their matchup. Once the tournament starts, Trainers in the tournament can not be challenged by or challenge any other trainer, use any abilities or items that let them avoid challenges, nor can they trade pokemon with other trainers. They will battle their opponent on the bracket that night. Ties are broken in the tournament by Total Team Happiness then Total Team Damage then lastly by tournament seed. Losers will be eliminated from the thread. Winners will move on and have any knocked out pokemon revived. Status effects, however, will persist between rounds so it is important they make friends who can heal, store up items, or be prepared to Rest.
Trainer Actions
Your trainer can take one basic action per night as well as move along a single path to another area. The following describes basic actions and movement:
Battles
Battles are done by comparing the the Challenger's pokemon against the Defender's pokemon, position by position. If a pokemon is unable to fight, the opposing pokemon automatically wins. In each case, the pokemon with the more effective attack is considered to be the winner. If there is a tie in attack effectiveness, then the pokemon with the greatest happiness is considered the winner. The Trainer with the most victorious pokemon is considered the winner of the Battle. Attack Effectiveness is determined from the following Type Chart. In the case of dual type pokemon compare each attacking type with each defending type and then multiply the effectiveness to determine the total effectiveness.
Pokemon
All 718 Pokemon (minus a few legendaries being held back for the next game) are available in the game. You will use them to win battles, gain advantage in map exploration, help other trainers, and ultimately win the Tournament. All non-legendary pokemon can be captured in the area that matches their type. Trainers can only have THREE pokemon on their roster in this game. If a player happens to find a Legendary pokemon, they may only have one Legendary pokemon at a time. Finding another will force the player to choose one. The following are sections specific to Pokemon:
Items
You will start with a single Revive and a random item of the following list. All of the following items are consumed upon use.
Trading
You may send the host ONE trade PM per day. Once you send in a trade PM, it can not be altered and no other trade PMs will be accepted from you that day. The trade PM must be sent as a reply to your Role PM and may contain trades with multiple players. You may also put conditional statements on your trade requests. The conditions can be as detailed or vague as you want them to be. An example Trade PM:
There will be a proboard created called the Adventure Board. You will be asked to signup on a proboard using your Trainer Name. You will be granted access to the subforum for the area of the map (see Trainer Actions) you currently reside. All secrets are discovered on this forum and the only way to know which trainers are in your area is to visit this board as well. Additionally, this forum can be used to PM other trainers regardless of if they are in your area or not.

Trainer Actions
Your trainer can take one basic action per night as well as move along a single path to another area. The following describes basic actions and movement:
Basic Actions (one per night):
Map & Movement (once per night)
The above map represents the Arcadia Region. Every trainer will start in one of the 10 main unexplored areas (the red nodes on the map). You can move along a single path from one red node to another red node each night. Ignore the grey locations, they are not used in this game. Movement doesn't happen until the very end of order of operations, so you will not escape challenges by movement. Additionally, any exploration will happen before movement, so exploration results will be from the area you were in before moving.
- Challenge - Target another trainer and have your pokemon battle against your target. Choose one of your pokemon, it will evolve when the night is over. If you lose, your pokemon all lose 1 happiness.
- Explore - Increase all of your pokemons' happiness by one, learn a secret of the area.
- Capture - Gain a random pokemon in the area. After you get your results, you can choose a pokemon for it to replace in your lineup or release it to the wild. If you need more than one pokemon to fill out a team you will gain two pokemon.
- Rest - Choose one of your pokemon to be revived and/or cleared of all status effects. Gain a random item.

Pokemon
All 718 Pokemon (minus a few legendaries being held back for the next game) are available in the game. You will use them to win battles, gain advantage in map exploration, help other trainers, and ultimately win the Tournament. All non-legendary pokemon can be captured in the area that matches their type. Trainers can only have THREE pokemon on their roster in this game. If a player happens to find a Legendary pokemon, they may only have one Legendary pokemon at a time. Finding another will force the player to choose one. The following are sections specific to Pokemon:
Evolution and Abilities
When pokemon evolve, they will gain an ability. If a pokemon is dual-typed, the trainer can choose which of the two types you want the Pokemon’s ability to be. Challenging other trainers is the most obvious way to evolve your pokemon, but there are other ways to do it as well. Some pokemon abilities require targeting. Use of these abilities should be sent in with your Order PM. Any ability that doesn't mention targeting does not need to be activated to use and will be used when appropriate.
Use this link when determining if your pokemon can evolve and what they can evolve into
Status Effects
Pokemon can have any combination of the below status effects. Negative status effects are cleared through the Full Heal item, some pokemon abilities, and the Rest Action:
Happiness
Your pokemon's happiness is very important and will fluctuate as perform daily actions and other events happen. After you get your Role PM with your stable of Pokemon, you will choose one to be your "Favorite!" This can not be changed except by using a Candy or if you choose to release your "Favorite!" after capturing a new pokemon. The following describes the levels of happiness you pokemon can have:

Status Effects
Pokemon can have any combination of the below status effects. Negative status effects are cleared through the Full Heal item, some pokemon abilities, and the Rest Action:
- Ready - This Pokemon will fight in challenges tonight and you can use any abilities they have.
- Knocked Out - Pokemon are knocked out if they take a Strong attack or damage equivalent to a strong attack (2x normal or 1 normal and 2x weak or 4x weak or etc). When a pokemon is knocked out, they lose all other statuses and you can not use any of their abilities. This status can be reversed with a revive item, being your "Favorite!", taking a Rest action, or being in the tournament while it is active.
- Burn - This pokemon’s attack are half as effective. This only takes effect after the battle in which it is applied.
- Paralyzed (A/I) - This pokemon will be unable to fight and use their abilities every other night, starting the night after they received this status. For clarity, a pokemon will still fight in the battle it is paralyzed, but will be unable to fight the next night. So you don't have to track the effect: “A” denotes the pokemon is active will be able to fight/use abilities that night, “I” denotes that the pokemon is inactive will be unable to fight/use abilities that night.
- Frozen (X) - This pokemon will not be able to fight or use their abilities for the next X nights or any other battle that night.
- Poisoned - Any pokemon that fights this pokemon will be twice as effective in their attacks.
Happiness
Your pokemon's happiness is very important and will fluctuate as perform daily actions and other events happen. After you get your Role PM with your stable of Pokemon, you will choose one to be your "Favorite!" This can not be changed except by using a Candy or if you choose to release your "Favorite!" after capturing a new pokemon. The following describes the levels of happiness you pokemon can have:
- 1: Detest - This is a little hard for me to say... Your Pokémon simply detests you. Doesn’t that make you uncomfortable?
- 2: Scared - It’s very wary. It has a scary look in its eyes. It doesn’t like you much at all.
- 3: Neutral - It’s not very used to you yet. It neither loves nor hates you.
- 4: Friendly - It's warming up to you. That's my impression. This pokemon can not be stolen.
- 5: Very Close - You two sure get along great! It looks like you are having fun being together! You seem bright and cheerful! This pokemon can not be stolen.
- 6: Favorite! - What great friends you are! It's so nice how you trust each other! It makes me kinda jealous! This pokemon can not be stolen and will automatically be revived (due to the power of friendship!) upon being knocked out.
Items
You will start with a single Revive and a random item of the following list. All of the following items are consumed upon use.
- Revive (common) - Change a pokemon from knocked out to ready. Their happiness is reset to neutral.
- Lucky Egg (rare) - Evolve a second pokemon when winning a challenge
- Escape Rope (rare) - Avoid the first challenge in a night.
- Lure (common) - Choose a pokemon while capturing. If they are in the area, you will capture it.
- TMXX (uncommon) - Give to any evolved or unevolvable pokemon, they will lose their current move and learn this move instead. Evolving a pokemon will cause them to forget this move
- Pokeball Belt (extremely rare) - Switch your team lineup order
- Full Heal (common) - Remove all status effects from one pokemon
- Candy (uncommon) - Increase a Pokemon's happiness by 2. You may also choose the Pokemon given this to be your "Favorite!". Your old "Favorite!"'s happiness reverts to neutral.
Trading
You may send the host ONE trade PM per day. Once you send in a trade PM, it can not be altered and no other trade PMs will be accepted from you that day. The trade PM must be sent as a reply to your Role PM and may contain trades with multiple players. You may also put conditional statements on your trade requests. The conditions can be as detailed or vague as you want them to be. An example Trade PM:
Kime - I give him 1x Revive on the condition he gives me 1x Full Heal
Assuran - I give him 2x Escape Rope
Langly - I give him [Pokemon Name] on the condition he gives me an evolved Fire Pokemon
Communication
There will be two main places for communication about the game: This thread and the Adventure Board(tm) that will be linked to you in your role PM. This thread is where voting will occur. Being removed from this thread (through vigging or vote) means you can no longer post in this thread, use PA PMs, or any other method to communicate with players about the game EXCEPT the Adventure Board. Ghost posting is not allowed. No matter what happens, however, you can always post in the Adventure board. Any powers that work within the adventure board can continue be used as after tournament removal as well. To be clear, if you are voted out or killed in the main thread, you can continue to train, explore, challenge, trade, etc, and even PM other players on (and only on) the Adventure Board.
Voting
There will be regular votes to remove a player from the Tournament. Vote for the player who you find most likely to be a member of Team Rocket by making a post with their name in bold red. There is no vote required on the Adventure Board. You may retract a vote by posting "!retract vote for <player name>" or similar phrase in bold limegreen or change your vote by making another one in bold red. Do not, under any circumstance, edit a post that has a vote. If an edit is necessary, make a new post instead. The player who receives the most votes will be permanently removed from the Tournament. Should there be a tie in the vote, then all players involved in the tie will be eliminated, as well as the player that instigated the tie, whether that be due to a vote being placed or a vote being removed. If the vote winner is eliminated before the vote is resolved, there will be no "trickle down".
Voting will close each day at 10PM PDT/MST SHARP; any votes before the hour (x:59) will count, any votes on the hour and later (x:00) will not.
Orders
Every player should have orders to submit and they must be submitted before vote close. Any orders received after XX:59 will not be accepted. All orders must be submitted as a response to your Role PM unless otherwise approved by the host.
Signing Up
Sign up with the phrase "I !sign up" or similar phrase in bold limegreen or other bright, easily visible color to ensure that your intent to play is acknowledged. I will also need you to PM me:
1) Trainer Name. This should not be easily traceable to you as it will be the name that you post under on the proboards and your permanent Trainer name for all future Obi-phalla Pokemon games.
2) Trainer Focus. Choose one of the Trainer focuses:
2) Trainer Focus. Choose one of the Trainer focuses:
- Fighter - Your pokemon don't lose happiness when you lose a challenge.
- Explorer - You can explore adjacent areas during your turn. Gain a random item while exploring.
- Collector - When capturing, you are given the choice of two pokemon and have a chance to find evolved pokemon. Captured pokemon start at Friendly Happiness.
Signups will be open until I feel ready to run the game. The more players the better, but I would like to get at least 30.
Inactivity
It is expected that players make at least two posts (one of which must be a vote) in this thread, submit private actions, and post at least once on the Adventure Board. A warning will be sent on the first day that this requirement is not met, and a replacement will be made on the second consecutive day of inactivity or third day overall. If there are no replacements available, then the player will be eliminated from the game.
Clarifications
Any questions about the general game rules may be made by highlighting the question in bold darkorange text. Answers will be posted in the thread and collected in the below section. Player-specific inquiries that are not addressed in the general rules may be asked via PM to the host. Questions asked in the thread and their answers will be reposted in this section.
Misc Information
Order of Operations: Exploration Rewards -> Item Use/Trading -> Pokemon Trading -> Trainer/Pokemon abilities -> Challenges -> Movement
Sample vanillager PM:
ObiFett, you are a loyal member of the Pokemon League and are intent on turning this new region into the the best! You've heard rumors about Team Rocket weaseling their way into the expedition and need to make sure they gain no power. Root out Team Rocket and make sure they don't win the tournament.
Wincon: The Tournament Champion is not a member of Team Rocket

Once you are dead, like any phalla game, you should not interact in any way with the game thread here on PA. That should include editing posts.
Both
You can continue to edit your name, location, and focus up until the game officially starts.
yes
Ability will be randomized
Yes, because they would get an automatic point from one of their pokemon automatically getting a win
You can only have 3 pokemon at a time.
Yes
No, you can still gain new pokemon when you have a full team of 3. Every pokemon you gain can either be set free or put into a position on your team (setting free any pokemon in that position).
CD
You sure can! You can continue to build/train your team, trade, explore, solve puzzles, etc in preparation for the next game.
From night to night? Yes. From this game to the next? Yes.
All items are consumed upon use, though.
The below link details if a pokemon can evolve and how many evolutions are possible for it. The information in that link is what I am going by when determining if a pokemon can evolve and what it will evolve to (added to OP)
http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_Pokémon_by_evolution_family
If there are multiple paths a Pokemon can evolve along the trainer can decide what it evolves to. Otherwise it will be a random path.
Evolutions can be stopped if the trainer wishes.
Correct. The reward of challenging another trainer, win or lose, is that you can evolve a pokemon.
Battle results will be sent in the daily status PM using the template:
[Attacker name] [result] [Defender name] ([position winner]* - [position winner] - [position winner])
*"A" for attacker, "D" for defender
Sample Result: Damage for KO status is on a battle by battle basis. Challenges go in order of Order PM timestamp.
Pokemon abilities are based on evolution level
CD. But the only way listed in the current OP's set of knowledge to catch a Pikachu is to be a Collector.
Pikachu is considered to be an evolved Pichu
If you happen to get a Pikachu without evolving it, then yes it will be the same as an unaltered Pikachu that someone evolved.

is there any rule about editing posts after dead to prove your identity on the adventure board?
are pokemon abilities used inside of battle, outside of battle, or both?
can we change our trainer focus/location after signing up?
For example, a Happy Zubat will beat a Scared Crobat barring abilities?
If a Collector finds an evolved dual-type pokemon in the wild, do they choose which ability the pokemon will have (as though they had evolved it in their party) or will the ability be randomized?

Once you are dead, like any phalla game, you should not interact in any way with the game thread here on PA. That should include editing posts.
Both
You can continue to edit your name, location, and focus up until the game officially starts.
Ability will be randomized
... but I am a man on a quest for murky, ill-defined vengeance against JPants or maybe Infidel.
For example, Elijah has 5 pokemon and StinkyBagel has 4. Does Elijah get a point because StinkyBagel's fifth pokemon is unable to fight (as it doesn't exist) or is the battle only a 4v4?

Yes, because they would get a free point from one of their pokemon automatically getting a win
You can only have 3 pokemon on your roster ... in this game.

Is it free for those of us who preordered this phalla?
It is free*
@Langly the puzzles in this game are legit and I remember how much fun you had with similar mechanics in the Star Wars ones I did with puzzles.
No, but that is probably the nerdiest sentence in history
So ultimately what you are saying is: Obifett should run a MLP: Friendship is Magic Phalla. ;-)
Does having 3 pokemon limit your acquisition of new pokemon?
Hmm maybe I should drop I still have no clue how anyone figured out any of those puzzles.
