Pokemon Plaid / Paisley

Welcome, new Trainers, to the Plaid Coliseum, home of the Nunno Region's resident Pokemon expert, Professor Yggdrasil! Please proceed to the forum to collect your starting pokemon, and then to the Coliseum proper where you and your new friend can begin competing against other trainers right away!

Pokemon Plaid / Paisley is a casual "Massive Multiplayer Online Tabletop" experience where players can drop in any time and have pokemon battles against each other, or just RP. There are no time commitments or activity level requirements. While there will be scheduled, GM-run events (these are indicated by the "next game will be" listing), as well as an overarching plot, much of the activity is 1-on-1 honor-system battling. Please enjoy it for what it is meant to be: a low-pressure, fun-for-all casual game.

The system in use is a simplified version of the One Roll Engine as used in Monsters and Other Childish Things. No familiarity with the ORE ruleset is required, and everything you need to know to battle Pokemon is explained in the campaign rules. Some basic familiarity with the Pokemon video games will be helpful, but not absolutely required.

The rules and stats are in beta, so feedback is encouraged, and patience is appreciated. While not all pokemon are created equal, I'm striving for as much balance as possible across the board.
