*INVENTORY*
An explanation of currency and storage
-
As a member of the Pokeathlon group you will be responsible for tracking your own in-game currency, item storage, and pokemon storage. You may purchase various items and perks from the show and add them to your bank.
-
The In-Game Currency is the Pokedollar (P).
-
You will be able earn Pokedollars through event participation, and art/written submissions. Art submissions will be graded on complexity of the art piece, while written submissions will be graded on word-count.
-
*Each member will start with 500P for completing all application processes.*
-
During the application process you will be able to draw, write and roleplay with other members but you will not be able to claim Pokedollars during this time. HOWEVER, you can formally submit your art/written pieces after the application process has ended to claim your Pokedollars for reimbursement.
-
The P-Value of art and written submissions has not yet finalized, but will be by the time the end of the application process. The general idea is that simple sketches will be worth the least amount of P and detailed illustrations will be worth the most. Again, the P-value of written submissions will be determined on word-count.
-
Items and Pokemon CAN be traded amongst members. Details available after the application period.
Items and Pokemon CAN be exchanged for P. Details available after the application period.
-
You should keep track of all P earned though submissions and events, as well as any P spent on items from the shop.
-
*SHOP*
Shop for items using in-game currency
-
You may use and P earned through events or submissions to purchase items for certain in-game advantages.
-
Items available for purchase will include the following:
Character Slots (Main and NPC), Pokemon Slots, GENES, Battle Items, Evolutionary Items, Game Modifiers
AND MORE
-
Main Character Slots will unlock the ability to bring in additional original characters to the group.
Non-Playable Character Slots will allow you to bring in side characters to the group.
(Submissions featuring Main Characters will earn more P than submissions featuring NPCs)
Pokemon Slots will allow you to unlock an additional pokemon for your character's team.
(It should be noted that you can still catch/acquire pokemon without unlocking Pokemon Slots, but you may not be able to earn P for those pokemon until the slot is unlocked)
GENES will allow you to modify your pokemon's design. All pokemon (aside from your starter) that you bring into the group will be considered to have the NORMAL gene unless specified otherwise.
Battle Items will give your pokemon certain advantages in and out of battle.
Evolution Items will allow you to evolve your pokemon.
Game Modifiers will allow you certain advantages while playing (Ex: double P)
-
A list of ALL items and prices will be posted after the application process closes and updated periodically with the introduction of new items or modifiers.
-
*BANK*
Your Inventory Tracking Tool
-
You will need to create some form of documentation to call your "Bank."
Personally, we find Google Sheets to be best suitable for this particular task.
This document will need to be well organized, for your own sake as well as Moderators who will review it periodically.
-

*Generally speaking, members and moderators will be using an honor system to make sure members are cheating. We want to believe in the good of all members, however if we notice any inconsistencies or if it is brought to our attention that certain members are cheating or manipulation the system then we will obligated to investigate which may result in the expulsion of any members involved. We will have our own way of cross-referencing our records with members and will deploy measures if necessary.*
