NEW PLOT EVENT. JAN 29 - FEB 11.
This time the campus appears in the quaint small town of Wedgehurst, on an island known as Galar. None of the locals seem to notice or comment on the strange new buildings that have shown up in their sleepy little town.
Galar is like the UK as imagined by the Japanese, but translated by an American who thought that Dick Van Dyke's accent in Mary Poppins was legit. It is a weird fucking mirror version of the UK. It's totally fine to be unsettled. There are cities in Galar that appear to be versions of cities and landmarks in the UK but they're located in all the wrong places with different names.
Here is a decent map. Here is a wiki.
What is this universe like to no one who has ever heard of Pokemon before? It's fucking weird, guys. For one, people set their children off at like age ten. Those who can't hack it as Pokemon champions get normal jobs. But those people with normal jobs? They still go cruising for Pokemon battles. It's fucking weird.
So, of course, you're probably going to need a Pokemon.
☑ While you can catch multiple Pokemon during the week, you're only leaving with one. Maybe it was a gift, maybe it chose you, maybe someone took pity on you and gave you a pidgey. How you get your Pokemon is up to you.
☑ What Pokemon did you get? You can comment below and the mod will random roll for you. Don't like what you got? You can use your AC reward for January or February to pick any Pokemon available in Sword & Shield that's not a legendary.
☑ Yes, you can pick or randomly get a Ditto. But they won't ever have time to breed more Pokemon in game. You get one, people. There is a very small chance of getting legendary Pokemon through the random roll. For those of you into the different regional types of Pokemon, if they're available in Sword and Shield, they're available to find in this plot.
☑ Yes, you can say if your Pokemon has a dynamax form or not. Not all do, they mostly just look cool. Dynamaxing is a thing in the Galar Region, don't worry about it too much if you have no idea what I'm talking about, this is really a note for the nerds. :3 Dynite Ore, mega mushrooms, other weird materials can be taken and experimented with if you want/your character finds them.
☑ You have a modest amount of money to buy more clothing (it's pretty normal if not a little stylized), food, provisions. I'm not going to put a specific amount, just don't go insane or I will smack you with my Mod Noodle of STAAAAHP.
☐ If you end up with a Pokemon that requires a special item to evolve, it's up to you as a player if your character finds that item during the week or not. Certain Pokemon can't evolve without special little add ons but we can handwave a bunch of this for the sake of fun.
☐ Oh, this place isn't just a weird mirror version of the UK. It also has a weird mirror version of Tony Stark and Pepper Potts. No really. Their facetwins are here. I'm making it official and I'm not sorry. If you also want your character to risk mistaken identity, talk to me and I'll come up with a facetwin for you, too. This is before the events of the game take place, so Rose is still known as Chairman Rose.
☐ Feel free to camp or stay in a rental this week if you need some space. Any weird consequences that might happen for sleeping outside the dorms during Void weeks will not happen this week.
☐ No, really. Pokemon can attack you. If you don't have your own to battle it, you can get hurt or even killed. (Look, not to get too spoopy, but some of the Pokemon out there are the ghosts of the children who couldn't hack it.) You can either just determine how hurt your character gets or comment for an injury roll.
☐ Have we figured out that if you die, you'll wake up just as you were the following week? Regardless of if it happens on campus or outside of the campus? Boy, won't that be a shock. Maybe reassuring to confirm, however.
☐ Contact the mod if you have any other questions or things in particular you'd like to explore.
