TRAINING AREA

HOW IT WORKS In the Training Area you may either request a battle with an NPC, battle another member's character, or train alone. Battles with other members' characters work the same as they would normally, with levels awarded to both the victor and the loser as with normal trainer battles. Battles with an NPC will be modded by a staff member, who will randomise the NPC's Pokémon. The NPC's Pokémon will be generated so they never have a type advantage or disadvantage against the Pokémon you character just sent out, unless you request otherwise. Again, the normal number of levels for a trainer battle will be earned from this. To earn levels by training alone, simply write a freeform post about your character training up their Pokémon. A mod will read it through and award levels! Roughly speaking, a Pokémon should gain one level for every two paragraphs you spend training it individually. You may get more if the writing is very high quality or if your paragraphs are each quite long. This is also done two paragraphs per Pokémon, so if you train more than one together we'll probably just divide the levels equally between the Pokémon involved. You can't spawn wild Pokémon or NPCs, even though it is a freeform post. If you want to fight an NPC, request an NPC fight rather than training alone, and wild Pokémon steer clear of the Training Area. Please remember as well that when we work out the levels you earn, we'll only look at the ones describing the actual training, so if you go rambling on about you character setting up equipment or whatever, it won't count towards the levels gained. In fact, don't ramble. That doesn't make for a very enjoyable read. You may find yourself earning fewer levels if your posts are obviously rambling for the sake of increasing the length, for example unnecessarily describing the movement of every muscle in a Pokémon's body when they use an attack. POSTING CHALLENGES These don't give you any bonuses, but they can be fun to try and may help you get the ball rolling since believe me, it can be very taxing to think of something decent to write about for a training post. These will be updated from time to time, and more than one person can take the same challenge. Train your Pokémon using equipment commonly found in children's parks or at elementary schools (swings, slide, monkey bars, etc) -Rin's idea The floor is lava. Use this as a method of training Pokémon in whatever skill/move you like. It's a cold, foggy day and... are those the targets? I can't quite see anything...
