Extended FAQ: Items
FINDING AND USING ITEMS
Items On Routes, Stores: All are there. Go headbutt a tree.
Goldenrod and Celadon have similar inventories, found in the price list.
Repurposing Items: You can take apart and break down things like evolutionary stones and other items to create gadgets and jewelry depending on the skill level and tools used.
SPECIFIC ITEMS
Berries: Please see the berries page for more information.
Books: Books exist. And a lot of them are punny.
Clothing: Clothing and generic items are roughly comparable to the real-world equivalent, just in pokemon money! There's really nothing complicated or different about it.
Cooking Supplies: Cooking supplies and utensils are easily found in all of the pokemarts. Because most people end up cooking on their own, many houses for rent already have them and all inns have kitchens supplied for trainers wishing to use them, but they can be bought in every city.
Currency: The world's currency is PokéMoney, designated by the symbol P. PokéMoney functions similarly to Japanese Yen, in which the moderators see what seems relatively reasonable and make up the rest.
P1, P10. P25, and P50 come in coin form; the rest are all in bills. Physical currency is not a common form of payment.
Ways to calculate: 100P = $1 USD / €.70 / ¥100.
How do you make money? See jobs listing.
Dubious Disc: [*] On the disc, one will find: Dubstep, internet memes, an album of skitty pictures, and the like. The contents resemble a random board on 4chan.
Eggs:
Shinies look no different.
Fire Eggs: Pokémon with the ability Flame Body or Magma Armor cut the time it takes to hatch an egg in half! But fire-types without this ability don't have much of an effect on the eggs - they can take a day or two off the hatching time at most.
On boiling them: The pokemon would be fine once hatched, but your hands might not be when you touch it.
Food:
For Trainers:
Meats & substitutes can be obtained in stores, vacuum-sealed. Fish, poultry, eggs and red meat, as well as tofu/seitan/bean-based options are available. (Where does the meat come from? A mystery for the ages.) Cereals, grains and potatoes/starches can also be obtained in stores, along with mainstays such as breakfast cereals, rice, corn. Miltank milk, cheese and yogurt are available for consumption. As for fruits and vegetables, a wide variety can be found in stores, while on Routes, wild ferns, mushrooms and herbs are safe for eating by trainers. The local berries can be eaten but will make humans sick; mushrooms from Paras and Parasect are edible but have a hallucinogenic effect.
Pokémon and their eggs cannot be eaten by humans. The skin is as tough as rocks and cannot be broken by teeth or weaponry (which you shouldn't be in possession of anyway).
Restaurants exist in every town in a variety of price ranges from fast food to fine dining.
For Pokémon:
Pokémon can eat other pokémon, and pokemon eggs as part of a balanced diet. However, pokémon that have been caught or hatched by humans will lose the impetus to hunt in the wild, and they are very averse to eating other trained pokémon. Letting one's pokemon eat another trainer's is passable with a hefty fine and one month's jail time.
They can eat anything that humans can eat, as long as it's biologically appropriate (a Growlithe probably wouldn't snack on an ear of corn for pleasure); they can also eat wild grass and berries with no problems. Steel-types can eat metal and ores from stones found on Routes or low-grade metals bought in scrapyards. Poffins and pokeblocks also make effective treats.
Wild pokémon can attack humans for food, but this is very rare, as humans are considered to be the world's apex predator.
Pokemon larger than an average human adult are not permitted inside public eateries. Like children, they are expected to behave and not bother other patrons.
The Effects of Pokemon-Produced Food on the standard human:
Miltank milk, water from Squirtle - both of these may make you ill the first few times you drink them, loaded with whatever bacteria your pokémon may have picked up naturally, unless you boil them first to purify them.
Chansey eggs - non-fertilized, fresh eggs are edible and very filling and nutritious.
Paras' mushrooms - can be cultivated and eaten. Ingesting a mushroom held by a wild Paras will result in many intoxication-like symptoms, such as increased heart rate and energy, temporary vision changes (i.e. things will become brighter, softer, bolder in color, etc.), hallucinations, and muscle relaxation. It lasts anywhere between three hours and three days. The more taken, the stronger and longer the effects.
Games:
Dungeons & Dragonites: a table-top roleplay game
Via PokéGear:
Angry Spearow, Asteroid, Five Nights at Fatina's,Oregon Kanto Discovery Trail, Robot Rapidash Attack, Solitaire, Sushi Skitty.
Incense: They're merely exotic-smelling sticks sold by the bundle with no purpose except to bring in fun scents. In-game they were used to help breed smaller forms, however breeding pokémon in Route will get you the baby form automatically.
Knives: See weapons.
Laws: Please see the Police Information for laws listing.
Movies: They do exist. There's at least one small theatre in every city, and they have many familiar films.
PokéBall Items: Pokémon can hold one item at a time on their being or in their pokéball.
PokéBlocks: They hold the same purpose as Poffins, as an edible treat for pokémon.
Potions: The spray bottles are bio-degradable, but they do stick around after the liquid inside has been used up for repurposing if one wishes to keep it. You may also recycle them in any city and on various points through the trails.
Radios: Radios exist, in all shapes and sizes. There is even an app on the Gear containing stations. When the music isn't playing, the other music is playing.
Television: Also exists, as there is at least one in every inn. The newer and more renovated cities have more advanced technology, while you may end up with a nice giant paperweight with gritty transmission in an older town. Most of the shows will be from a variety of cable TV channels, from sports to battles and cartoons. Most of them feature pokémon.
TMs: You can order TMs from the Goldenrod and Celadon department stores or through mail-order catalog delivered by Pidgey carrier services. A list of those that can be purchased can be found in the Price list.
Trainer Gear and PokéDex: Please see the PokéGear page for more information.
Weapons: There are practice weapons you can find in the department stores, but you can't take them from home or receive any during an item drop.
You're still not allowed to possess any guns, pocket knives, switchblades, magical demon hunting sorcerer equipment, etc.
Regarding Crafting Knives (cooking, wood-carving, and the like): One can possess a knife sharp enough to be used for a tool of the trade; however, it'll dull much faster than it ought to, so your character will have a more tedious process of accomplishing the same carving because they'll have to keep stopping to resharpen the blade, and the knife will probably break sooner than they're used to.
Creating tools is alright in terms of hammers and whittling devices (though they'll most likely be less sharp than normal), and practice sparring tools (those made of plastic and wood, like wooden swords) are also alright.
