As a part-time professor for pokémon training at Viridian City Academy, Alain Basswood has a bit of experience in the field. While it's generally expected that most trainers on Nauwill should have some familiarity in the art, it's understood that not all of them have formal schooling, and he's kindly offered some of his materials on the local intranet documenting his processes for really getting the most out of time spent working with one's pokémon partner. This is part of those documents.
This is a mock Training Thread for Alain Basswood, VCA liason and competitive athlete. All rolls will be done using his stats with pokémon that don't officially belong to him (but do belong to me). If you have questions about the contents of this thread, please make sure to link the post when you ask your question so we know exactly which part you're having trouble with!
Explanations will be left in this color text over each section; please consider everything below that to be the "normal" contents for training.
This is a suggested layout based on my own personal preferences, but you can document things however you'd like, so long as you keep track of your successes per pokémon somehow! Note that normally, I would recommend just having one header post that you update with new successes, but for the purposes of illustration I am going to re-post headers after each day so you can follow along with the updates in thread.
I start by noting down the mons I'm actively looking at training right now, though you can track them all if you want. Remember though: once you turn in a specific task (Rank Up, Stat Retraining, etc) all progress for that task resets to 0 for that mon, even if you had more successes than necessary.
I put Rank Up, Move Relearning, Loyalty, and Happiness down for Scatterbug, because that's what I want to work on for that pokémon. For Totodile, I put down Rank Up, as well as Stat Retraining, and of course Loyalty and Happiness. The code for these tables, if you want to use them, is in the main Training Sessions thread, but you can manipulate them easier by entering bbcode mode in the editor, pasting it, then going back into wysiwyg mode (done by clicking the cog at the top right!) to visually preview the tables. You can add a row by clicking in a cell, clicking the horizontal lines, then clicking insert row above or below, and you can delete one by clicking delete row in the same submenu!
I start each task at 0, then figure out how many I'm going to need so I don't forget and note that down.
- Scatterbug's rank is starting at Starter, so it needs 4 successes to Rank Up into Beginner.
- Move Relearning always costs 3 successes.
- Totodile's rank is starting at Beginner, so it needs 8 successes to Rank up into Amateur.
- Totodile's stat retraining will be turned in before Rank Up, so it'll be a Beginner, meaning it needs 3 successes.
- Both Totodile and Scatterbug's loyalty and happiness levels are starting at 1, so they'll all need 4 successes to raise to 2.
