early updates! Oh my!

Hey guys! We have a ton of updates for you all today! They're soooo biiiig that we decided to do them early!

First off, the friend add/remove.

Weekly Friend Add/Remove
Please copy the following into the Admin Console.


Second! We would like to remind you guys to please not use the out of character community for non-game related updates. Please use the spam community, [livejournal.com profile] slowpoke_gif, for those!

Third! The Frequently Asked Questions and Battles 101 pages have been edited and updated! Battles 101 is now a little easier to understand, with a better explanation on how battling works and leveling. If there are any more questions, please ask below! As for the F.A.Q., the following questions were either added or updated:

But my character's not human...
What about my character's special talents?
My character has fragile health! Or they broke! Or they died in their canon! How can they live in Johto?
What kind of canons are accepted?
What about playing a Shopkeeper?

How many pokémon are there?
What's this I hear about evolution?
How many pokémon can I have?
Can we name/rename our pokémon?

What does a Trainer Card do?
What happens if I break my PokéGear?
So how do I make money in this place?
If I'm in Team Rocket against my will, can I just pretend I'm not with them?

What about Non-Player Characters (NPCs)?
How do you deal with drops and reapplying characters? What happens to their pokémon?
How do you get away with hiatuses?


In these updates, we have decided to repeal the Persona 3 Protagonist clause. Route will now allow both the Female and Male Protagonists in play at the same time. We have also decided to incorporate a Glitch Technique in order to help players coming in and out of hiatuses with their transition back into play. It's also got many other goodies! Please check it out! If you've got any other questions or comments, go right ahead and ask~!


Fourth! We have edited the moderators part on the main community. For now, only Okami, Stormy, and Kit™ are listed. This will change in the upcoming weeks, don't worry. Please be patient if things are a little slow. (Sorry so much!) We're burning on coffee and trying to be as quick as possible on keeping everything updated for you all. We'd like to express our sincerest apologies for letting things get a little delayed but we're working on fixing that as fast as we can!


ETA: [new] Fifth! The character limit has been moved to five! App more characters right now-- Quite a few people reached the limit so we decided to expand it just a bit more.

Six, actually! How is everyone doing today?

Didn't have a great day, but I think my evening just got a lot more awesome. |D

... has that thing about reading the minds of Pokemon always been there?

[identity profile] usedsketch.livejournal.com 2010-10-20 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
... derp. How did I miss that I swear I read the FAQ about three times when I joined back in the first few weeks of the game, and just went 'aww probably doesn't apply to my guy' and promptly forgot. N-no wonder you guys have passwords.

orz

Anyway, I don't think I've seen anyone do it! After asking a castmate, looks like they blanked on this, too. But I figured it might not be applicable to TWEWY characters, seeing how their mind-reading is only possible because they're dead and in a different state of being, and Route turns everyone human. :|a

but now all my friends want to know if Mr. H can talk to his cat, sob

It happens, it's okay.

....XD sure he can.

I don't think anyone has actually, but it would be neat to see it in play.

I THINK I would actually love to use this if you guys would allow it, because the potential is hilarious and awesome sdfghj. Could be triggered by an incident with the psychic-type he has, or something.

Hanekoma's canon is hideously vague and never tells us to what extent the "unification of minds" that is his natural state follows him to other forms -- he definitely has some powers in his most watered-down humanish form, we just don't hear much about them. At other places I play him as capable of mind-reading like the other characters in TWEWY, but I don't know if that'd fly here aaaa.

tl;dr STORMY CAN I CONSIDER DOING THIS IF I CAN BS REASONABLE-SOUNDING HEADCANON FOR IT? :|a

LJHGJKL SWEET. Thank you! I'm not planning to get it going immediately, what with Halloween creepyweather right around the corner, but I'd like to ask -- how well would telepathic characters be able to understand Pokemon? I'm guessing it's something more than a mental 'Pika Pika,' but if so, would he only get a basic understanding or would it be fully-formed thoughts?

No rush answering stuff like this, of course. I'm just excite. XD;
