PokéFiends |
|
PokéFiends is an open and expansive multi-region Pokémon roleplay that welcomes both canon and original characters. From the regions in the main games, the anime and side games, and even a bit more, you can travel anywhere. Be wary, a darkness lurks in the night, a sinister creature haunts the edges of the moonlight. Turmoil brews, traveler, so take your first step with caution. |
Four months ago, terror held the world in stand still. The attacks on both Saffron and Castelia have concluded... and despite the growing darkness, the people of the world band together to throw an event in the spirit of world unity and the courage to stand against this new foe.

The season is currently Spring. There winter snows have thawed and new growth springs up across the world. Periodically, chill remains in the air, but never for long does it hang about. |

Something that's long since bounced around in my head that came up in topic today is the advent of custom Pokémon. Up until very recently, I was adamantly against allowing them, based on the pretense that it would be hard to moderate them (as they had no in-game move sets or stats to go by, most of the time, and because quality on them typically fluctuates a great deal based on the creator). And the mention of it being pretty non-canonical was brought to my attention. But since I figure that terraforming the Seafoam islands and turning it into a militant base of operations, allowing drastically different colorations of canon Pokémon (since, let's face it, we've broken the "must be natural colors" rule ten times over), including the Samurai Warriors characters from Pokémon Conquest and allowing technology from other video games like Halo to be patch worked into characters is allowed... well. A few custom Pokémon couldn't be that bad, if the member base is for it. Granted, I'm against allowing any old custom Pokémon. They would be more finely profiled than characters. We would not allow evolutions or pre-evolotions of existing Pokémon. They would have to be from other regions (basically the rest of the world, like America or such.) And they would require fully completely, balanced game data-like stats. (Including sprites, region of origin, abilities, and move pools with levels.) If they evolved, you'd need to profile them individually. For example, they would need to be profile as detailed as things like this project. As per normal, five more votes than the losing option will cement this as part of the site. |

Go ahead! If they're made to the above specifications, I'm all for it. |

Well. Given the fact that we got five votes for Yes and none for No... xD Customs it is. |

I'm against the customs. Yes, we've "changed" canon some, but never really broken it, except with the whole seafoam thing. I mean, changing pokemons' colors is one thing, but making completely non-canonical Pokémon? I think that'd be pushing it. But maybe that's just me. |

It's a break in canon, true, but it's also one that would still fit the world. They'd still be Pokémon, after all. It's not like it would be Digimon vs. Pokémon. In any case, we'll be heavily moderating them to make sure things are cohesive with the world, at least. :3 |

To be honest, you might want to limit the number of Customs created to one per person (A full evo line counts as one). That way we don't have someone flooding the board with new 'mons everytime they get a wild hair up their asses. One per individual seems like it would keep content fresh, and not topple the balance of using existing 'mons. |

K i know its al ittle late, but i'm against it as well. if i'd seen this sooner (darn real life for making me busy, AGAIN) then i'd have piped up sooner. one thing i've always liked about this site was its purity. I'll wait and see what kind of stuff is submitted and accepted before i decide if it ruins it any for me, but..I'm afraid people might try to pass a lot of bullshit under the radar. In all my years of living, i've only ever seen ONE custom that i've liked, and it was a branch evolution of an existing one. Of course it was one of my favorites, so..i was kinda picky when i went over it, looking at it and stuff, but the person did really well on it. even so, i'd still vote no. For one thing, not everyone can get permission from people for sprites, and most people looking to get permission, have no artistic talent themselves, not even with sprites. Its a little late i know, and i haven o influence on the decision since its been made already, but i wanted to make my own opinion known. I don't want to start any sort of fight or anything about this. |
