[OOC: Do you think the PTU update for catching Pokemon would be easy to adapt to PTA? If so, I think I'll go for that, though if you like, I'll prioritize creating more scenarios for you to test.]

[OOC: I will look at it, then. Tonight I need to catch up on homework again, but there's not too much more to go.]

[OOC: I apologize; I've been looking through PTU files, and can't find these updated rules. Could you please link me to them?]

[OOC: Not easy to link to, but here's a copy/paste. It's in the September 2015 Playtest Packet.
Capture Mechanic Changes
A Capture Roll is now a 1d20 roll where you aim to meet or exceed a target number. If you have gained the Amateur Trainer bonus at Level 5, add +1 to this roll. If you have gained the Capable Trainer bonus at Level 10, instead add +2 to this roll. If Veteran Trainer, +3; if Elite Trainer, +4, if Champion, +5.
A Pokémon’s Capture Rate depends on its Level, Hit Points, Status Afflictions, Evolutionary Stage, and Rarity.
A Pokémon’s base Capture Rate is 10. For each 10 Levels it has, add 1 to this Capture Rate.
In the event you want the Pokémon to be more difficult to catch, like if it were a Boss, Shiny, or a Legendary Pokémon, then raise this number by a value between 5 and 20 based on what you feel is appropriate for its rarity. Remember that Pokémon that have been Knocked Out cannot be captured; Poké Balls will simply fail to attempt to energize them.
Next, go down the following checklist. For each condition that applies check every check box next to the condition. Then, at the end, add up the total number of check boxes and subtract 2 from the Pokémon’s Capture for each check box.
☐ Is the Pokémon at or under 50% its maximum Hit Points? ☐ Is the Pokémon at or under 25% its maximum Hit Points? ☐☐ Is the Pokémon suffering from 5 or more Injuries? ☐ Is the Pokémon suffering from at least one Persistent or Volatile Status Affliction? ☐☐ Does the Pokémon have exactly two evolution stages remaining? ☐ Does the Pokémon have exactly one evolution stage remaining?
For example, a level 10 Pikachu at 70% Hit Points and Confused would have a Capture Rate of 7. Math: Base (10+1) -2 (Status Affliction) -2 (one evolutionary stage) = 7
A Shiny level 30 Caterpie that is at 40% Hit Points would have a Capture Rate of 12. Math: Base (10+3) +5 (GM discretion Shiny bonus) -2 (Hit Points) -4 (two evolutionary stages) = 12
A level 80 Hydreigon that is at exactly 1 Hit Point and is Burned, Poisoned, and has 5 Injuries would have a Capture Rate of 10. Math: Base (10+8) - 4 (Hit Points) -2 (Status Affliction) -4 (Injuries) = 10
Poké Balls are pretty easy to convert. Flip the sign on all modifiers, then divide by 5. For example, a Great Ball gives a +2 bonus to Capturing. An Ultra Ball gives +3. A Timer Ball starts at -1 and can go up to +4. As a general rule, you can apply this to most other effects in the system that affect Captures.]

[OOC: Looks pretty good. Obviously, not all of it can be plugged into my system, and some trainer features will need to be slightly reworked to fit, but I think I will design some more encounters to test this; starting right away if you want.]

[OOC: Sure; we can go with that. I mainly threw in that line to ease into the town planning phase; like what you guys are going to do the next day, buy before going into the next wild encounter, etc.]
Sam: I think we need a major rest after the beatings we and our Pokemon took today!

Wally: Yeah, now that we're all healed let's just stay here for the night. It was fun, Crystal. Take care of yourself. Hopefully we bump into each other again sometime.

Crystal: Thanks, and me too! I wish you great luck as a Capture Specialist, Wally!
Next day:
Sam goes to the Poke Mart and buys 3 more Basic balls.
