SpoilerI'm mentally re-weighing the benefits of doing things on roll20 vs just posting in the thread, but for now the link is here.

R20 makes it more convenient to set things up in advance and has a useful grid system, and macros that can roll dice for you, but rolling dice faster doesn't save all that much time in a pbp game anyway. It's a tool designed for real time, but it does have a chatlog so it's not like you can't just drop in and do something and then drop out.
Posting in the forum keeps everything in one place and means you can be a bit more verbose but you might not actually be planning on writing a lot anyway.

We could also just do both, I mean combat takes place in turns anyway. Post what you want to do and I'll run it through roll20 and summarise it here, makes planning and queueing up actions whilst waiting for someone else to actually take their turn (or for me to do my bit) easier.

Tell me what you think.

SpoilerPokemon Education: 2d6 +3 vs 7: 12

SpoilerAs I said on Skype, you're all essentially in a big block of "trainers turns" so please don't be afraid to state your actions in advance unless you really think someone else is going to interfere, it'll save a lot of time.
Pokemon mess that up a bit but most of them are of conveniently similar speed to the humans too, so not too much.
You can even roll hit dice if you'd rather do that yourself than wait for me to do it for you, they're all d20s just make sure you wrote in the chatbox what they're meant to be for and what they are aimed at.

SpoilerGingham's using Stun Spore, rolled a 16 for the accuracy check over on roll20

Ivy's sheet is up to date now I think. I had to change her Basic Skills edge to Occult Education so she would meet the prereqs for the Researcher class and switched her talent to Top Tier Berries
Gingham swapped Absorb for Fairy Wind and has a shiny new secondary type, but all her stats and junk remain the same

SpoilerNidoran is scared and intends to play dead. Its vision is obscured by sparkly powder and it was startled by a loud noise, so now doesn't particularly know what is going on, but it doesn't want to shake the stuff out of its eyes because there is a bird sitting on its head. Last time it was attacked by a bird it played dead and the bird elected to eat it later rather than straight away, meaning it could make its escape, although first it was flown a significant distance from home.
It seems somewhat reassured by Ivy's mental comfort but not particularly inclined to do anything except cower and hope everything leaves it alone.

This Nidoran is a Quiet Male Nidoran (perhaps obviously), and knows Leer, Peck, Focus Energy, and Double Kick. Not that it's likely to do any of that any time soon. If something takes a swing at it then it will just hope that its Poison Point and relative non-threatening-ness will see them off.

SpoilerCharlie rolled a 3, but hit anyway. This particular Sandshrew appears to be fairly bad at getting out of the way.

SpoilerYlva's Struggle Atttack:
1d20 to hit: 20
Critical hit damage: [2d6+8] +6 = 22!
Final damage taken by Sandshrew: ...underwhelming.

SpoilerSvava's Confusion:
1d20 to hit: 7
Damage: [2d6+10] +11 = 31
Final damage taken by Sandshrew: About what you'd have expected from the critical hit.

SpoilerDoduo are on average about 4'7" and weigh 86lbs, and this particular one is a fairly average specimen.
They are flightless birds known for their speed and characteristic two heads, who tend to prefer the relatively flat terrain found in plains and deserts.
In childhood, their heads tend to think along the same lines, but as each matures the two tend to bicker more often, a property that becomes most evident after evolution.
Even though they cannot fly, their great land speed makes them fairly efficient at catching smaller pokemon for food.
They often know growl, peck, quick attack, and rage, and are sometimes known to use pursuit, fury attack, and uproar.

SpoilerZeus's struggle attack:
1d20 to hit: 5
Damage [1d8 + 6] +17 = 28

SpoilerSave roll 1d20: 11 (must beat 5 to act)

SpoilerSandshrew's Scratch:
1d20 to hit: 4, AC2 + Nando's 2 evasion
Damage: DB4 + ??? (I'm not telling you their stats!) - 6 (Nando's Defence) 11

Spoiler1d20 to hit: 13
Damage: DB6 + ??? - 6 = 19

Spoiler1d20 to hit: 18
Damage: DB4 + ??? - 10 = 13

SpoilerZeus fainted a Sandshrew.
One of the remaining Sandshrew used Defence Curl.
Another Sandshrew used Scratch on Nando for 11 damage.
One Doduo used Peck on Mike for 19 damage.
Another Doduo used Quick Attack to act early, and hit Charlie for 13 damage.

Little broken shields indicate pokemon which were affected by screech. Little lightning bolts show pokemon who are paralysed. You can probably guess which Sandshrew is curled up (it's the one with the icon)

Spoiler1d20 to hit: 1

SpoilerCharlie's Peck:
1d20 to hit: 13
Damage: [2d6+8] + 13 = 32

but... that's without applying defensive stats

SpoilerZeus's struggle attack:
1d20 to hit: 6
Damage: [1d8 + 6] +17 = 27

Spoiler1d20 to hit Charlie: 12

Spoiler1d20 to hit Charlie: 16

SpoilerZeus did ~27 damage to the paralysed Sandshrew (though not knowing its stats, we don't know for sure).
Doduo's growls lowers the Attack of Charlie and two Sandshrews by one Combat Stage. It misses the Nidoran.
Another Sandshrew uses Defence Curl.
Charlie gets sand in his eyes from a Sand Attack. He's temporarily blinded.
The last Sandshrew attacks two of the Doduo for unknown amounts of damage, though one is clearly hurt more than the other.

Little shouting man icons are for growl. I am swiftly running out of comprehensible visual indicators and am going to have to find some other way of recording status.

SpoilerRoll 1d20 to hit: 20!

SpoilerCapture roll: 1d100 - 10 - 1 = [6] - 11 = -5
Capture rate: 100 - 20 + 15 = 95

-5 < 95, Success!

Spoiler1d20 to hit: 20!

SpoilerNando's Combat Skill [2d6 +1] vs Sandshrew's Combat Skill [2d6] to maintain grab
[11]+1 = 12 > 9

Spoiler1d20 to hit Doduo: 6
Damage to Sandshrew: 1d8 + 6 = 11
Damage to Doduo: 1d8 + 6 = 9

SpoilerSandshrew are on average about 2'0" tall and weigh 26lbs. This specimen is a little leaner than usual, but not particularly out of the ordinary.
Sandshrew live in communal burrows, typically in arid regions as they despise wetness and low temperatures. They emerge to hunt when the sun is high, and retreat underground as the temperature drops.
Their burrows are often full of small inedible objects they have gathered for unknown reasons.
Their hard scales repel the physical attacks of other desert animals, and when threatened they curl into a tight ball for extra protection. If an enemy bypasses their defences, they will burrow away to escape.

They are often known to use Scratch, Defence Curl, Sand Attack, Rollout, and Rapid Spin. Stronger individuals use Fury Swipes and Magnitude.
Some have been known to attack from range with Swift and Poison Sting, but they usually prefer to fight in close quarters.

SpoilerSand attack: 1d20-4 = 11

SpoilerLeer: 1d20 = 8, 5

SpoilerRage: 1d20 = 18

SpoilerNando's blinded by sand, two opponents lost further defence combat stages, and Doduo is now really angry.
Nobody friendly actually took any damage yet this round.
