IntroductionKeepinmindfolks–Thisbunchofdocsisn’treallyexplained

Therearetypos

It’snotevena3rdofwhatyou’llseeinbetarelease

Ihopesomeofyouhavefuntryingtodeciphersomeofthisandhopethosewhotryoutabattleortwohavefun.

Ialsohopeyouguyslikethetrainerspoilers.

-DMStark

As the man said, “this bunch of docs isn’t really explained.” I’ve extrapolated where necessary, and made wild guesses when I couldn’t, but I think I’ve managed to get the information into a somewhat readable format.

I was going for a rush release, so there isn’t as much color/graphical design as I’d like, but I’ll add that in if I do a release for the beta version. I was also not motivated enough to go through all the text and add the accent mark in Pokemon, but I’ll get to it at some point. Also, things like the (658-page) Pokedex haven’t been touched, because I’m not quite that crazy.

As this is really just compiled notes for an Alpha version, there’s (obviously) information completely missing. For example, while there are blurbs about the advanced versions of each class, there’s no actual information about requirements, advantages, skills, or really how to play them.

Hope someone finds this useful. If so, I’ll make a real one when I can get my hands on more information.

Obviously, the material included was created by Dr. Mr. Stark, and Pokemon as an IP is owned by somebody else. I just put words in a PDF document. All pictures are shamelessly stolen from whoever the hell made them.

Range is used to let you know if your Move is to be used as an Attack while next to your foe or from a distance. These are sorted into Self, Melee, Ranged and Field.

A Move with the Self Range targets the pokemon using the Move. The Melee Range is used to target foes or allies adjacent to you, you may also target the pokemon using the Move with a Melee attack. The Ranged Range targets foes or allies that are not adjacent to the pokemon using the Move. The Field Range drops an effect on the entire area where the battle is taking place.

It is also important to note if the attack has Ranged or Melee for its Range. If a Move is Ranged, it consults the pokemon’s Special Attack stat. If a Move is a Melee attack, consult the Attack stat of a pokemon. Also, be aware of asterisks by a Range. If a Melee attack has an asterisk, instead of consulting the Attack stat look at the Special Attack stat instead. If a Ranged attack has an asterisk it means that you consult the Attack stat instead of the Special Attack stat. If an attack has two asterisks by its Range, it consults neither damage stats for a poke-mon and is most likely a Move that affects the status or stats of a pokemon. If there is any other notes related to the Range of a Move, it would say so near the Range.

Damage Dice Check lists what dice to roll for additional damage if the Move deals damage. If there is no Dam-age Dice Check, the Move isn’t an attack that deals damage or the Move deals a set amount of damage detailed in the Effect.

The Target/Keyword line is next to the Effect. It defines what target or targets can be targeted, while showing Keywords, which help to condense the Effect area.

The Effect lists what the attack does in addition to the Move’s damage. Within the Effect description, an Area of Effect is detailed to show if the attack hits more then one target. The Effect also lists any status effects the Move may have caused during the Accuracy Check. The Effect also will list requirements to make the attack, knock back caused by the Move and anything else related to what the Move does. Effects do not activate unless the Move hits.
