Try out an expedition First, look over the Game Systems thread. This has everything you need to know about how the game works. While it's very much driven by player creativity, dice are used to spice things up and add some excitement and much needed success and failure to stories. After that...

Make yourself a character Pokémon are great, but to really enjoy the full breadth of what the shop has to offer, you'll need to go make yourself a human character. You can have as many or few as you like, and each one can have their own pokémon adventures independent of each other. You'll need...

Getting your starter pokémon If you're here, then you're probably going to want a pokémon, right? Whether you're in it for the adventures, the roleplay, or just the cute art, is it really as fun if you don't have at least one? Of course, you might already have one or two - but there's nothing...

Making a Character So you're here and you want to make a human character! So, where to start? First thing's first - you'll need a concept. If you already have an idea or know what you want to make, skip down to the next section! More than likely, most people joining us likely have an idea for...

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...
