    Welcome to Dagger's Pokemon Island!


    In this very different, yet very simple forum game, you will train your Pokemon while being stranded on an island. Make alliances and compete in challenges to prove that you are the best Trainer of Pokemon Island!


    What makes this game so different?

    Let me break it down for you.

    *** Pokemon Galore! ***

    Everyone will receive a starter Pokemon. You won't get to choose the Pokemon or Gen, but if you provide me with a type, I'll see what I can do for you. (;

    It's a first-come-first-served basis, because as you know, 4 people can't get fire-types just because they asked. So keep reading fast so you can choose your type!

    *** Customization + Trainer Cards ***

    In this game, you will get to choose your Pokemon's name and the look of your trainer card. You will also get to distribute your stats at the start of the game.

    I will handmake all your trainer cards with your name, Pokemon, Pokemon's name and stats on a template that you choose from the list. I will update it with each phase to make sure that your stats are up to date.

    Sasha is so spiffy, amirite?

    *** New Forum Gameplay ***

    Similar to the hit show Survivor, you must use your talents in three skills (Strength, Brain and Agility) to complete challenges and your Pokemon's participation on Pokemon Island will decide the victor!


    *** Pokemon Evolutions! ***

    YES. Your Starter CAN evolve in this game! Hints will be posted every now and then to help players evolve their starters quicker. I will admit, it's not easy finding out which Pokemon will evolve with what stats. So think hard and try to find out which stats will make you and your Pokemon the very best that no one ever was!

    S/N: No. There are no Mega Evolutions in this game.


    Excited yet? Well, first you need to know how to play. :D

    On Pokemon Island, you and the other Trainers must work together to survive in front of a viewing audience! The hosts won't help you because they're sitting in a private trailer eating delicious food!

    Losing your sanity in the midst of heat and starvation is nothing when you have a cute little Pokemon buddy with you!

    -- GAMEPLAY --
    The Hosts of the game (Dagger and Crobat) will be in-charge of providing you a starter Pokemon. Fill out the form at the end of this post and sent it to xDagger (me) in a forum PM.

    Each "Day" in the game will take 72 hours.

    Stats and Action Points (AP) - When you start the game, you will be given fifteen (15) stat points. Depending on your starter, you will divide these points amongst three stats (Strength, Brain and Agility). This may not seem like much, but you can gain more Stat Points by winning Team Challenges. Raising your stats evenly is crucial because you never know which stat will be used in an elimination Face Off or to evolve your Pokemon.

    The stat that determines the winner of the game is your Pokemon's Happiness. To gain this karma, participate in The Island and its activities and the number will pretty much go up by itself. You will be notified with each phase of your Pokemon's Happiness.

    Action Points (AP) are points you get each day to complete actions. You will get three action points a day (1 from "sleeping" [automatic], 1 from feeding another Pokemon, 1 from nominating a Trainer for elimination). You will get an extra action point each time your Pokemon is fed by another Trainer as well. Remember to both feed and nominate to get at least 3 APs each day.

    You do not need to spend all your Action Points at once. They can be saved up for the next day, if you so desire.


    Team Challenges and Pokemon Contests (Immunity Challenges) - Each day phase, there will be a Team Challenge and a Pokemon Contest that you can participate in to raise your stats or become immune to nomination, meaning you can't be eliminated.

    Team Challenges are challenges all the Trainers should participate in. They are all either Strength, Brain or Agility Challenges. Team Challenges are the only way your stats will increase. There will be a set number of commitment (Stat number + AP used) needed in order to pass the Team Challenge.

    For example:
    If my Strength is 5 and the Team Challenge is based on Strength, I will use 2 AP to help complete the challenge.

    My commitment to the Team Challenge will be 5 + 2 = 7.
    7 Commitment towards the total.

    The combined total will determine if the Team Challenge is completed and those who participated will gain stat points equal to the amount of AP used.

    Using the same example from above:
    I have 5 Strength + 2 AP to equal 7 commitment. If the Team Challenge's goal is met, I will gain 2 Strength for using 2 AP.

    If a Team Challenge is failed, no stats will be increased.

    It is highly crucial to help in team challenges because it's the only way your stats will increase. If your stats do not increase Your Pokemon will not evolve.

    Pokemon Contests are Immunity Challenges used to keep yourself from being voted the next night. The Pokemon Contests are also based on Strength, Brain and Agility, but if you win, you will not gain stat points. These challenges are solely for immunity.

    Only one winner will gain the Immunity, and that's for the person with the highest commitment total for the contest out of all the participants.

    The Commitment is determined by Stat Number + AP used.

    A person with 5 Strength in a Strength Pokemon Contest can use 2 AP for a commitment total of 7. If no one beats that number, they will have won the immunity.


    Your AP can be split up into both, used all in one, or saved up.


    Feeding and Nominating: Each day phase, you will choose which Trainer's Pokemon you would like to feed (it cannot be yourself). This will give you 1 AP for the next day, as well as the person you aided 1 AP. You will also choose who you will nominate for elimination (also cannot be yourself) to be ousted from Pokemon Island FOREVER. Doing so will give you 1 AP for the next day.

    The person who receives the most Nominations will be eliminated from the Island immediately. If it is a tie, two stats will be chosen against the nominated Trainers and the winner of the combined total will stay in the game. The other is eliminated from Pokemon Island FOREVER.


    PokePoll(TM) - On certain days, there is a PokePoll. The PokePoll will give your Pokemon extra Happiness if it is the most popular answer. The PokePoll answer must be a true trivia answer (meaning I will not count any Meowmix Sux).


    Evolving your Pokemon: Your Pokemon is called a starter for a reason.. (..What?.. Because you can catch other Pokemon?.. PFFT.) SO YOU CAN EVOLVE IT. :D

    Once your starter reaches a certain number of stats, it will evolve into its next form. With it's next form, all its stats will increase, as well as a nice dose of Happiness!

    What determines when my Pokemon evolves?
    Use your brain power to find it out. With all the starters, me and Crobat determined which stats need to be increased for each Pokemon. ALL THE STATS NEEDED TO EVOLVE EACH POKEMON ARE DIFFERENT.

    Let's take my Pichu here. :D

    [​IMG]

    To turn my Pichu into a Pikachu and then into a Raichu, I will raise both its Brain and Agility. Its brain alone will turn it into a Pikachu and a combined total of Brain and Agility will evolve it into a Raichu. What is the amount needed? And what about your Pokemon? Well, that's a secret. You'll have to find out.

    S/N: None of you get Pichus. (:

    Winning Pokemon Island - If you survive all the backstabbing and challenges, you will make the final two. The two Trainers left will have their Pokemon fight to the end. The Pokemon's Happiness will determine who wins as they are fighting their hearts out with the love from their Trainers.
    The winner of Dagger's Pokemon Island will receive bragging rights, their winning Trainer Card displayed on this forum for all to gawk at, and a free art commission of the Trainer and a small plushie of their Pokemon done by me, Dagger!
    (Hey, I can draw a little. :D)
    (...Even though I didn't draw the title. ._.)


    Now that that's out of the way, time for some RULES.

    1. This game allows Outside Contact, but please don't badger the hosts for information about how to evolve your Pokemon. Neither me or Crobat will tell you.
    2. You may have ONE post after being eliminated from Pokemon Island. No more.
    3. You can talk in the forum about whatever, form secret alliances elsewhere, I really don't mind.
    4. No asking for a different Pokemon.


    But Dagger, do you have any advice to first-time Island players?

    Weeeeell. Sure.

    -- Hints and Tips --
    1. Evolution can really raise your stats. Your Pokemon will never be addressed by their species when the Host updates.
    This is to keep people from knowing you have a Pikachu when you started with a Pichu. You can be seen as a threat, so I'd recommend keeping your Pokemon a secret. If you want to tell someone in your alliance that you have a Pichu when you really have a Raichu, that's all on you. :D

    2. Big alliances almost never work.
    It's too easy to be backstabbed. I'd ally with one other Trainer, feeding each other's to make sure that I get at least one extra AP a day.

    3. KEEP YOUR POKEMON'S STATS A SECRET.
    Even within an alliance, if you're a threat, you're a threat. Even though your Trainer Card looks very cool, I wouldn't go showing it off to everyone.

    4. Your Pokemon's type and/or look may crack the code of what stats are needed to evolve your Pokemon. Important Hint: Each Pokemon must reach a certain number in TWO different stats to achieve their final evolution. Good luck finding the amount and those stats!
    Enough talking!
    How do I sign up?!

    Fill out this form here and send it to xDagger after you've posted that you're in.


    Now that it's all done, welcome to Pokemon Island.

    For this game, I am only accepting the first NINE (9) people that both state that they're in and PM me the form.

    Your starter will be from either Kanto, Johto or Hoenn.

    Signups will close once all spots have been filled.

    Enjoy your stay and may the best Trainer win!

    The first-come-first-served is for the selecting of Pokemon, not the players.

    These players that are on the Roster are all people who all:

    - came first.
    - has -some- forum mafia experience.
    - followed the sign-up instructions and received a trainer card for doing so.

    I've sent out instructions for 9 players already, I'm just waiting on their reply.
