When it comes to events, we do have the plot suggestions post now, but getting the suggestions to us in either place is A-okay so this is fine!

As for the event, we've gotten a suggestion somewhat similar, but we didn't want to start any crazy time-warp insanity until possibly in the new year. You're right, though! It would be fun to play around with. I'll add it to our list and we'll see what we can play with. How does that sound?

How would you feel about Ancestors from Homestuck (the previous generation of trolls; the Signless and those). Ones like Mindfang and Redglare and the Condesce are well-fleshed-out in the comic but some others were less so, so I can understand a blanket ban.

Also, what is your policy on the Alpha trolls?

[these_balls]

Unfortunately, we are going to have a blanket ban on all of the Ancestor and Alpha trolls, due to lack of canon at this current time. This may change as the canon progresses, but currently it is a no.

Fly can indeed be used to carry anyone around, regardless of weight or size of pokémon! We'd just like to ask for you to be reasonable in the positions (for example: sitting on your Pidgey will prevent it from being able to flap its wings, but letting it grab your arm and fly you about is alright.)

The HM is attainable from Gym Leader Chuck in Cianwood City. Travel differences between walking and flying are listed on the Maps page.

Taking NPC applications have been a thought but nothing we've wanted to focus on at this time. We're never sure when we want to use an NPC for something plot-specific, so we just kept them on the backburner for convenience sake and worried more about updating and fixing the rest of the game. It's not an idea we've dismissed, so we may still use it in the future, but we don't have anything planned for it yet.

I have a major concern about applications not being accept from Super Dangan Ronpa 2. There have been times when you've accepted applications from canons with very little source information available. I don't see what should make this canon any different when A) there will never be a direct localization, B) there's actually a myriad of information online if the mods would bother to look, and C) some of us on Dreamwidth have actually played the game in question. I don't understand why this canon in particular is being blacklisted.

[these_balls]

More often than not when it comes to a canon source with little information, we look at the series in question and how much is or can be readily available. If the Dangan Ronpa translators and LPers had completely stopped, then we would have to take what we could scrounge to go with it. But the SDR2 game is still being translated, and on multiple outlets it seems, so there's little out there that seems to have a cohesive description. If you have more links of information for us outside of the wikia (as the wikia, so far, seems to be a one-person project from what we've seen), we would gladly take them and reconsider the matter.

We'd also appreciate if you kept the attitude in your tone to a minimum. We weren't doing this to be malicious or to keep people out of the game. We took time to try to find unbiased or more explanatory sources, but we were actually alerted by a few players who saw the characters as spoiler-ridden as they only knew or followed the SA game translation. We were only marking it until more information was released, whether that be a furthering of the game LPs or more sources with translations that were more than just summaries.

If you've got any other inquiries on the matter, feel free to let us know.

[these_balls]

In regards to homestuck characters, we have just made an announcement with a list regarding our current stance.

[these_balls]

Sorry this took so long for us to answer! For the clothing, all of those are fine.

And it's alright to train your pokémon to teleport elsewhere, but it would take lots of training and practice. Instinctively, they aim for the pokécenter, in around a 5-15 foot range from it (inside, outside near the doors, anywhere in the area of one depending on their aim), but with enough training, they can teleport a little further on cue.

[these_balls]

Damn right there can be.

I'll add them to the games list tomorrow.

[these_balls]

Sorry about the delay in answering. If you happen to come short in a thread because the other person hasn't responded, link it in the activity check and leave a note. But you may just have to try tagging another so you can have a backup thread prepare, or mentioning/Asking the player you're waiting on to tag back so you both could have a thread.

[these_balls]

Thank you. We'll be looking into that.

[these_balls]

We've heard of the concerns regarding this particular individually and we plan on keeping an eye out for them. Since they had caused no trouble during their last tome in game, we're going to keep an open mind and a watchful eye and see how it goes. If and concerning behaviors or incidents happen while in game, then we will deal with then accordingly.

[these_balls]

Rocket grunts aren't allowed to fly helicopters but they can request them. There are licensed pilots who can take them around both regions. But if they can steal keys and not crash, they can take one for a spin around the park. As for attacking npcs, just like PCs, it's fine to attack the citizens in small or isolated incidents. But if it's larger in scale, like attacking gym leaders or cities, those need mod permission.

[these_balls]

Hello! Sorry about the delay, and thank you for being so patient with us!

1. It would take some trial and error, but if someone's familiar with chemistry then investigating the potions and antidotes shouldn't be difficult. Finding out what exactly is inside them will be difficult, as bullshit science the science of the pokéworld is rather unique, but they can be identified as different components. Antidotes and potions only work on pokémon so ingesting them will only give your food a sour taste but no effects otherwise.

2. Sleep powder and poison powder are effective on humans. There is a way to gather the spores and make use of them, although liquifying them will take a bit of playing through trial and error. Syringes will be hard to come by, as they're only available at the pokécenters, but it is possible. If you plan on going this far with it, please come back and talk to us whenever you start continuing along those lines.

For entering the blood stream when it comes to sleep powder, depending on the density of the dosage, it can cause a slumber lasting from a few hours to a few days before the antibodies in your blood begin to neutralize it.

Would you mind clarifying what you mean by this line: "Just what limit is there to poison type abilities when it comes to the human body or does it differ as it does from Pokemon to Pokemon?"

3. HAVE AT IT. So creating nets would be fine, as well as a majority of other items so long as they can be made. If you're not certain on something, ask us on it!

4. Poison away! If the Rockets can do it, so can you!

5. A few home remedies can be created (like teas, herbal/concocted tablets, etc.) but no actual medication.

6. If the pokémon doesn't agree to the experiment or is getting injured in the process, the Jennies will see this as pokémon abuse, which will follow standard jail protocol. For consistent tests or if they're started when the pokémon is younger, it conld start to weaken their immunity towards things and make them weaker in battle in terms of lower HP or taking heavier damage during battles.

[these_balls]

It's not necessary to write a description of their history in Route. A brief note will do, but even then, that's just a courtesy.

[these_balls]

Re: Rockets - They receive two starters. One from the Starter List marked as an approved Rocket pokémon is the level 15, and a second from the list mentioned in the FAQ is the level 5.

Re: Xehanort - Xehanort would be allowed in because he and Terra are two separate souls who just happen to share a body. Basically following the soul's period of canon, Terra would not be able to continue past when his heart sleeps, and Xehanort will be given a new body of his own in game. We will need justification in the application on why he is given whichever bodily form he is given (including forms of Ansem and Xemnas, which can be explained in the personality section when covering his canon point), otherwise he defaults to his original shell of old man Xehanort, as this is the original vessel of his heart and soul. He will still be allowed to share Terra's memories or have amnesia, though the amnesia should not be a problem in-game. We'd prefer if he wasn't introduced right after awakening and shortly after more of his continued personality is introduced, so that he'll have a concrete personality expressed in the application. This would exclude it from the duplicates rule because, although they share a body, they are still two separate beings.

I hope that answers everything! If you have any other questions, let us know!

[these_balls]

It would be more advisable to app original characters into games currently accepting them rather than waiting. We're still working on a decision, and our input from the players gave us quite a bit to think of and reconsider when it comes to allowing them in-game. The decision is still on the table, as we have not ruled either way, but it isn't something we want to take or approach too lightly. We'd rather take our time and decide securely without burdening those waiting.

[these_balls]

Hello! It's perfectly fine~

1. We actually don't have a waiting period. We ask that there's at least an English translation out (if it's foreign) but otherwise we just ask for you to be cautious with spoilers.

2. Taking apart a pokegear is fine. It's a bit troublesome especially in putting back together, and if you plan on doing any major modifications we ask that you run them by us. But overall, it's alright. Team Rocket is the only structured lab job in the cities but he could get a job doing odds and ends or with a mechanic of sorts at a little shop in the cities. There's always someone with something that needs tinkering with.

3. In his case, since the series is so new, it may be best just to link it, but you can put it in the comments if you like.

[these_balls]

The gyms are generally open 9am to 9pm, with varying breaks for meals and rest periods. They're open for challenges earlier or later by appointment only!

[these_balls]

1. We allow Canon AUs! So long as it's not the same character (ie. manga version vs anime version), then it's acceptable.

2. In this case, it's up to you - if the metal piece still functions as a heart, then he could keep it, or his heart would cooperate and the metal piece would deactivate naturally.

[these_balls]

As of right now, we're not allowing the coordinator class. It isn't feasible given our schedules and the maintenance it would require to maintain.

[these_balls]

That's perfectly alright!

[these_balls]

Hello, anon. We're aware of the situation and we're currently looking into it. Thanks for letting us know your concerns as well!

[these_balls]

Hello!

1. His knowledge would still be restricted to Gen 1, to keep the playing field level for anyone. There may be build-ups or re-releases but it will only contain the first 150.

2. It's alright to do so as long as the source material is consistent with the canon you've chosen to apply from. If it fills in pieces of headcanon or explains something in the chosen media more clearly then it's perfectly fine; it's only in cases where the series spin in separate directions that it would be advised against crossing them.

[these_balls]

Hello, anon! That's perfectly alright. No character is properly 'retired' by Route's standards; as long as they're able to be played in game, they can be apped in by anyone wishing to play them.
