I would say while certainly clunky in places, I am enjoying it. Helping me learn the basic ropes enough

I'm enjoying it very much. I like the daily event method. I also think the leveling method works, though there might have to be one change. Currently we have the tough Pokemon rule, allowing capture after a KO. We also have the leveling after a battle resulting in a KO. Basically there is no reason to not KO a wild Pokemon before catching it, lest you short yourself a level.

Actually the Tough Pokémon house rule prevents them from being KO'd when they normally would be, retaining 1 HP so they're easier to catch. You still can't catch them if they're fully KO'd.

I just feel like it's far too gamey. Not enough roleplaying is really happening.

I'm sorry to hear that. I know what you mean, though. Right now very little story-based roleplaying is happening. However, in the game's defense, it's the first day in the first area of the brand new region, and I'm sure that the players/characters are all laying an initial groundwork right now. Getting settled, as it were. There is actually a wealth of small adventures to go on, many of which tie into an overarching plot. There are several of these things right there in Tumbleweed, but no one has really gone around and investigated the town very much aside from the Pond, which only got the briefest of visits, and no one has spoken to any locals yet. Everyone seemed mainly focused on the well-known and safe aspects of PTU - catching a few Pokes, earning a Level, making some money, having a battle, etc. - which is totally understandable for the very beginnings of a new game, and I didn't feel the need to push the story progression on anybody. But, rest assured, it's there, and I anticipate that everyone will begin finding and pulling at story threads very soon. In the meantime, though, I'm completely open to suggestions to keep the roleplaying levels from dipping too low if you have any. Or if you would still like to leave, that's okay, too. Whatever you would prefer the most.

Apologies for my lack of activity last 2 days, and the next week to come. I just got over a cripplingly bad flu that nearly had me in the hospital, JUST before I was about to had on my week holiday to Florida. I SHOULD be able to post while there, but I am leaving a warning here just in case.
And yeah, about an hour after my last post, Was the last time I ate until maybe 30 minutes ago. It was baaaaaad.

Okay, even though we're having fun and I don't want to do anything to ruin that, it looks like I'm going to have to set some kind of daily posting requirement. I don't like having to have something like that in place, but we're going to need it in order to keep the game moving. PbP is slow enough even when all pistons are firing properly, and when post frequency slows down it can kill a game.
I've decided that I'm going to require a minimum of 1 post per day from each player. So, in a 24-hour period, you're only required to pop in and post once. And it doesn't need to be substantial. It can just be a few fluff words just to make sure you made your post for the day. If you miss a few times, I'll NPC you. If I find I'm having to NPC you all the time, it might mean that this game is not a great fit for you and I'll need to replace you with a different player.
Right now I'm going to give Legarch the time he has already asked for without any penalty, and I'll give GM a few days as well since I don't know what his final decision was. As far as I know, nothing should be keeping lavrence from posting, so I expect daily posts to begin from them. spikehed, you're already doing a very good job; you're posting almost daily as it is, so I'll bet you won't have any trouble slightly picking it up to daily.

I believe the Weedle makes 10 Pokemon for the 'Dex.
Edit - As far as the post rate, I probably won't maintain every 24 hours on holidays and weekends. That's family time and I rarely touch a computer.

I should have written a little line that covered that. I understand posts taking a little longer to come in on the weekends and during holidays. That's okay. And, yes, the Dex reaches 10 with that trade for Weedle, so everyone just earned a Level!

It's a new day, lav. Jack is already assumed to have gotten a bite to eat, rested, and has traveled to the Pond with Asa the next morning. Go ahead and apply any Trainings or any other new-day-stuff you like. Sorry for NPC'ing. That Friday post never arrived so I just had everyone follow Asa for now.

Hey guys. I should be on my way home tomorrow, and back to regular posting schedule by Thursday or so, (My flight schedule is over a 10-15 hour period, and will not be home till around midnight or so). Now that I am borrowing a friends laptop for a few, I will try and shoot out at least one post today to do some catch-up. Holidays have been kinda mind meltingly busy and esciting in Florida.

I think it's safe to assume that GM did not have a change of heart and has left the game. I'm going to keep him on as an NPC, though. He won't do much aside from help you guys fill your Pokédex, but that's still pretty handy, right?

Glad you're back, Leg. If I'd known you were going to return to today I would have waited to NPC your guy, but it worked out okay in the end. Is your new large avatar an image of Bo?
