How robust is the character creation tool in Pokemon: Ages? Could one craft an avatar for oneself that isn't human? It would be fun to have a separation of real-life human and their avatar in a Pokemon appearance, an MMO Beast class or some such. It IS a role-playing game after all.

For simplicity reasons, I'm gonna say only humans. You're a trainer. Ages is, in my head, that game we all want: 49 play and capture Pokémon along side our friends. Wouldn't it be strange to catch Pokémon alongside a talking Bulbasaur?

A Bulbasaur? I meant something closer to humanshape, but ok.
"When creating your characters try to keep basic MMO character creation in mind when choosing starting classes."
This is a bit of a puzzling point, when I think about it. MMO classes are about combat, traditionally. Damage output.
If you're playing a pokemon MMO, it's inherently going to work differently, since you're making other things fight for you.
P.S. Will each player be roleplaying their Pokemon, so the Pokemon act exactly how the players want them to, or will the GM be roleplaying the Pokemon, so the players and the pokemon can have interesting character interactions?

Here's Bastion! Haven't 100% settled on a starter yet.

Personally, I find that players controlling their pokemon works better in play by post, so that people aren't stuck waiting for a GM post mid-actions.
Just my 2¢.
On topic: What playtests are in effect? If September is in effect, can we put egg moves on our Inheritance list?

Since I haven't seen that anywhere, what are you expecting this game to be? It sounds like it will be pretty sandbox but do you expect all the players to be in a single group? I just imagine everyone going off into all different directions could put a strain on ya. Do you expect the tone to be as light as the anime tends to be or rather darker since some sinister force has trapped everyone here.

Since this is year 2046, I assume a disabled person in real life will be able to walk as if he has functioning legs inside the game?

I was trying to be funny by saying Bulbasaur. Obviously it fell short. Others seem to have gotten the fact that I am just looking for a trope when I said to keep MMO character creation in mind, especially since there will also be trainer combat in the MMO. There are also so many MMOs what have classes that are not solely damage output. Mabinogi comes to mind. And I will most likely be RPing the Pokemon because, even though I know the players controlling their Pokemon is easier, I want those dynamic personalities in the Pokemon. If that ends up being too rough, it isn't as enjoyable for y'all, or it's just slowing things down, that could change.

I just imagine everyone going off into all different directions could put a strain on ya. Do you expect the tone to be as light as the anime tends to be or rather darker since some sinister force has trapped everyone here. I left it open for the intro because I want the players to come to some consensus as to which region and town to start in. I think giving the players a little power over the initial setting will encourage higher "morale" right off the bat haha. Eventually they'll have to come together for plot reasons, and fairly quickly. It's also going to be darker. Some of the things that have popped up in the Skype chat are AIs gaining sentience, glitched trainers and 'mons and how they effect the games, what happens when someone is removed from the game in the real world before it's beaten.

Meet Flips_Tables, a man who wants to screw around and/or break the game.

sandsofazorin just do me a favor and double check your inventory! I got over $5000 spent, not including the chem set and your "left over" money. matanui3 don't forget to spend your starting money! And do me a favor and put the basic skills on the edge page please! flarnith Can you fix your acrobatics rank? You accidentally changed the untrained to 1 instead of changing the 2 next to it to 1 haha catch22 Why do you have seven starting features? You should have five total, including class! And only four edges! And spend any starting money you need to! And don't forget to distribute your starter's stat points and it should only have one ability! Also, what gender will your starter be? twilightkiwi why does it say you only have $25 left over? It looks like you spent around $1K haha. And could you please put the Basic Skills edges in your edge sheet? And pick between starters haha FelixSparks please fill out the edges and features pages!

I have two submissions for you, one new and one old character. (The latter was added after seeing reactions from Skype chat group, heh.) Li'l Black Mage BoeArcanist / Sage
Character sheet
Wind RunnerCharacter sheet
My roleplay: I'm a dedicated roleplayer! I prefer to emphasize character interaction, Pokémon interaction, and personality. Sometimes I like to problem-solve in ways that don't involve combat. I admit I'm not terribly talented at combat yet.
Timezone: Central

So, i did a complete overhaul in my application, with a concept I thought of.
Jake Stein is his name, powerful attacks is his game.

This looks interesting. Can we buy TMs with the starting money?

All hail Sister Mary Ann, the supportive cleric boy girl! So, I think I covered everything. Tell me if there's anything in need of change, ok? (For example, I considered Groomer's Kit to be free because I have the Groomer Edge.)
