You could do that to nulify it. Cases that do not normally add capture ratings would make "bad balls", which have a +10 modifier on capture rolls. Think of it as the opposite effect of a great ball.

interesting, so say a flash case on a pokeball would make it have a +10 to capture, however if i put it on say arachs ball that would negate the negative as i wouldnt be using it for capture.
so double or triple for the cost to negate?

Correct. As for the price, triple it.

So I am going to be out of town for the next couple days. Forgive me if my posts looks bad. I will edit them if I have access to a computer but otherwise, I'll be posting via mobile. I'll just have someone roll for me if the need arises. I'll get everything cleaned up when I get back either late Saturday or early Sunday.

Couple questions. Now that we are going to start getting into the meat and potatoes of the game, we should kinda know the expectations and work out kinks.
1) With linked pokedex features, can we keep a community sheet going to update all of the scanned Pokémon? I know in PTA that you got exp for scanning so many but I don't think PTU has that. It would still be nice to know what we have scanned so we don't have to wait the two full turns for info on some species.
2) I'm pretty sure Tori is going to be the same as Barry. We aren't going to capture just anything we meet. It's not really in character for us. Of course, I'm sure both of us will at least fill out a full roster before getting too picky, but I just see us getting behind someone like John who is a capture specialist. Can we work out some custom milestones to fill out that disparity? I don't know Tori's full background but in Barry's case, he could earn milestones for his berry business. Something like his first sale, maybe if he gets renown and people come to him to buy. Stuff like that. Same goes for Tori and her background.
3) How much do you want the entire party to stick together? I don't plan on branching out on my own or anything, but say Oliver and I deem it best to tackle the water gym first due to type advantage where as Keno would be at a detriment there and wants to hit fire first. Is that something that we could do as long as we set meet up goals? I mainly ask because the flavor thus far his been set around spirits sort of like the Aloha games. I don't want to mess up major plot line stuff like an ad team attack by splitting the party.
Lastly) Is there an in game travel system? Planes, buses, taxi, Pokémon transportation ect? Say we have our team and just want to get to the next gym, is that allowed? I know some games like to charge a "fly tax" when you get a Pokémon that can fly so that you can't abuse free travel.
One more little one. How will teleport work here. Again some games like to add in a player to the teleport even though Some Pokémon don't get that one teleport ability. Also, will it work as written or can we remember certain locations (last Center used, the farm, the professors welcome center, ect)?
Just a few questions that I think about in games. No rush on most of them as we are taking our first steps. The fez thing is about the only one that is coming up soon.

Dex EXP is per catch.

No rush on most of them as we are taking our first steps. The fez thing is about the only one that is coming up soon. - Very well, I'll update the pokedex lore thread with the scanned mons.
- We could arrange milestones that can fit with the personal goals of the characters while on their journey. On top of that, milestones can be awarded for beating gyms and trials.
- I very much would like the party to stick together to keep storytelling a little easier, but I also need a good reason for them to stick together instead of going to separate areas around the region.
- There are plenty of ways to travel. The major cities have public transportation of all forms and trainers have the option to use pokemon for transportation as well, provided they follow the local laws. While riding on a pokemon that flies, there is no fly tax, but the trainer has to purchase and upgrade to their license to allow them to travel by air. As for teleport, the pokemon reads the trainer's memories for areas they previously visited and takes them to the one of their choice.

Gotcha boss.
Like I said, just random questions I thought about. I couldn't remember if PTU had something like PTA where if you scanned 10 it was 1 exp. I know catches are but I thought both systems had one for scanning also.
The fly thing is good to know also. I want to get Barry a tropius at some point to fly around on and in most games, there's a tax or a fee. I didn't want to just hop on and fly just to get thrown in jail.
You don't have to keep the dex thread updated if it causes you more work. We can just use a general list and go from there. I'm sure all of us know almost all of them anyways, but your spin to include detail is appreciated. Not sure where you got the turtwig dex entry from but I didn't remember reading that one. To be honest though, I have the memory of a goldfish and can barely remember yesterday.

Another question. I know, I'm sorry. I'm full of them.
In this case, should I use one big general roll of survival to scan the area as a whole, or is this the correct way by using two rolls sence it's for different things? I'm pretty sure it's two different uses but then I also thought that he's scanning the area twice where he could see both in the initial scan.

Personally, I think survival could be useful in just one roll here since it can be a useful ability to search for wildlife, specific plants, and fungi. |

Got it. Thank you sir.
If you'd like, you can roll it Doc. I'm about 70 miles out still on my way back so I cannot edit for another hour or so. If you don't want to, I can get it when I get in.

Due to the forum not liking how I put my roll equation in on the IC, please use the Roll Thread result instead for damage. |

Just realized I technically forgot to subtract 2 from my capture roll for my trainer level, hope that wouldn't change anything!

I accidentally messed up when I edited the IC post to have Oliver's thoughts in the color... I don't' think it actually changed the numbers on the roll, but I can't be sure so let me know if I should reroll elsewhere.

Please don't take my lack of posts as being away. I am following, I'm just waiting on Oliver to make the catch before moving on. Barry is support in the fight and holding back incase he's needed.
