Human Characters While you are free to collect pokémon as long as you'd like without a trainer or human character, a lot of interaction in the group is locked off to those who do have one. For that reason, anyone interested in expeditions or roleplay needs at least one to get themselves started...

My character's not a total beginner! That's okay! While stats for pokémon should be considered absolute for them, consider stats for your human characters to be the ability they've been recognized to have on Nauwill. As they prove themselves capable and perform more in the region, they'll be...

What are social stats? Social stats represent a character's capacity for acting or presenting a certain way, within the limits of their personal intelligence bracket. A bestial pokémon isn't going to be writing prose, and even the dumbest superhuman pokémon might seem smart to an average human...

What are physical stats? Physical stats represent your character's gauged ability to perform tasks in different physical and mental ways. These range from a character's ability to lift heavy things to their natural flexibility and speed. The more points a character has in a stat, the better...

How do I read stats? Character stats are presented with two numbers; the first is the character's current value in that stat, while the second in parenthesis is the maximum value that character can have. All human characters have stats that start at one and max out at five; pokémon have...

How do dice work? Character stats and dice rolling in Pokémon Expeditions are very simple! There are no skills or derived values to worry about, just simple comparative rolls. Any time you're told to roll a stat, you'll roll that many dice; if your pokémon has 4 Strength, then you'll roll 4d6 -...

This thread explains how dice and stats work!

Power Wells Sometimes you may not want to evolve your pokémon, but you'd like it to have the same upper stat limits and bonuses that their evolved forms have. In this instance, you can expose your pokémon to a Power Well. These stones are so named for the well of light they form when unearthed...

Mega Evolution Sometimes, pokémon with deep bonds to their trainer can evolve beyond their standard abilities. This process was discovered in Kalos, where it was forcibly triggered through direct exposure to Key Stones; unfortunately, this process was unstable and was often both incredibly...

Breeding for Fusions Outside of RLC, the only source of fusions is events, games, and breeding. In order to breed for fusions, you need to leave a pokémon for breeding along with a fusion shard or fusion crystal. After that, it's totally up to fate! Eggs are not guaranteed to produce fusions...

Greater Fusions Greater fusions are pokémon born into bodies that are full combinations of two other species. These pokémon can be considered entirely new; typically their bodies resemble one parent more heavily than the other, and their coloration the opposite, but this isn't a hard and fast...

Standard Fusions A standard fusion is still, more or less, the base species it seems to be. The primary difference is the colors; a standard fusion will inherit the colors and patterning of its other parent, resulting in things like a Beedrill colored Butterfree or a Skitty colored Wailord...

What is pokémon fusion? Pokémon fusion is a process where a pokémon can be born with the traits of two normally unrelated species; this has only been documented on Nauwill, thanks to strange minerals known as fusion crystals. Similar to an elemental stone in nature, these crystals have a...

What about regional variants? Many regional pokémon have regional base forms - Galarian Meowth, for instance, is needed to evolve into a Perrserker, and Perrserker will only come from Galarian Meowth. However, there are a few instances where the lowest forms of pokémon do not have regional...

Evolution Methods Different pokémon evolve in different ways; since our system does not necessarily cover the "typical" ways that pokémon evolve, the following methods are available in this shop. How a pokémon evolves will be listed in its pokédex entry for easy accessibility! Note that many...

What is evolution? Evolution is the process by which a pokémon spontaneously changes into a completely new species. This can lead to changes in base stats, typing, or both! There are many different methods of evolution, and not all pokémon evolve - though some can potentially evolve into...

This thread is all about the processes of evolution, power wells, and how they work. If you're just looking to get your pokémon to evolve, you're looking for the Evolution and Power Well Submission thread!

Pokémon Advancement Pokémon find it very difficult to grow stronger naturally, with evolution generally being the only way. However, with the help of a trainer, they can overcome their natural tendencies and grow far more powerful than their typical wild cousins. Pokémon advance in rank solely...

Applying Human Advancement Once your trainer character has all the requirements filled to raise their rank, you can do so at the Trainer Rank Certification thread. Fill out the form with the required information, then post it. It will be processed as soon as a moderator can get to it. Please...
