Upcoming Mod Plots

[these_balls]

For the anniversary plot at the end of this month, we have planned a 4th wall event! More detailed information will be up after this most recent Rocket Plot is complete~

[best_laid_plans]

I've been meaning to ask about this in the OOC comm, but awesome game-wide plot came up. :3 In the aftermath, however....

There are currently OOC plans in place for Archer and Malik to discover a mutual interest in Psychic-type Pokémon - particularly, in using them for mind control. This plot would only be relevant to those who happened to encounter one of the two in person (though Malik is going on a trip pretty soon with Yuugi), but:

Is there anyone interested in getting their character brainwashed to hand over their Pokémon/steal their friends' Pokémon and deliver them to Team Rocket? I can't say for certain when Archer and Malik would be ready to start actively hunting down victims, but it'd be good to know whether there were interested victims. (Malik's the type who'd really love the hypnotism to convince these people they were helping their friends, if that sounds like an interesting twist for your CR.)

So yes. All we wanna do is wash your brains. Any interest?

[determinator]

Adding on to that: Archer will eventually be travelling with Kimblee to obtain the rest of the Gym Badges, so there will be chances there!

Archer has the means to breed Psychic-type Pokemon, if anyone else is interested in experimenting with this as well!

[snapandscoot]

oh he certainly has the means to breed psychic pokemon alright










:|

[determinator]

HEY HEY

HE CAN BREED HIS ALAKAZAM WITH HIS BISHARP

HE DOESN'T HAVE TO BREED IT WITH YOUR HARLOT OVER THERE!!!!!

[snapandscoot]

HARLOT

WHAT ABOUT YOUR ANTI-GENTLEMAN OF AN ALAKAZAM??????

TWINS, ARCHER

SHE HAD TWINS

[determinator]

OH GOD

WELL YOU'D BETTER GIVE HIM ONE, THOSE EGG MOVES ARE GOING TO BE DAMN AMAZING!!!!

...AND ANTI-GENTLEMAN IS STILL NOT AN INSULT

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Not really interested in having him brainwashed Because he needs a brain for that, but uh, just throwing this out there. Cobra here once tried to create an army of psychics to take over the world. It failed horrifically. If you want tips on what not to do, he's your man.

[her_mouse_jesty]

I have no plots on my own, save for eventually canon-updating Minnie when KH3D comes to America. That said, I am offering up Minnie and Fluttershy if anyone would like them! They're useful for -

+ Innocent victims
+ Fights (minnie if you want a challenge, flutters if you want a pushover)
+ Ways to get information

etc. my aim is KawaiiUsagi33 and e-mail is melcat33@aol.com if you want to plot in detail. I'm pretty terrible to my characters and allow just about anything to happen to them :B

[snapandscoot]

YES IT IS




AND YOU ARE SO NOT GETTING ONE





MAYBE IF YOU BEG

[determinator]

LMAO YEAH RIGHT

RUDE, EMMY!!!!

[doitrockapella]

Okay, so this is like...the vaguest "plotting idea" ever, but sooner or later I'm really going to have to have Carmen pull off a heist of some variety or another. The problem is, she traditionally only does it when she's bored, challenged/provoked, or trying to mess with somebody, and the likelihood of her getting bored in Johto is pretty slim, all things considered, so that kind of paints me into a corner in the arena of motivating her to pull something.

That said, now that she's learning about Team Rocket's recent interest in the legendaries, she might be tempted (or susceptible to provocation) to go try to bag one of her own — either by tracking one down on her own or attempting to pull a Mewtwo and trying to figure out how to genetically engineer one from a fossil or something. (Don't look at me like that, she canonically tries it in an attempt to GET HER OWN DINOSAUR because why the hell not.) Anyway, the point is, she can have a really "anything you can do, I can do better" mentality, especially when it comes to stealing things, and it wouldn't be very hard to provoke her into trying to one-up Team Rocket on something or another, even if she's well aware she's being provoked into it or that it's a really obvious trap. Such is her ego.

I would also like to have her someday replace someone's entire roster with Metapods.

Basically, I don't feel like her stealing something is really capable of standing alone as a plot in and of itself, but I'd really like to find a way for it to help facilitate something else, if that makes sense?

...Or I guess she could always steal every Smeargle in Johto and try to paint her face on the moon again or something, hm.

[snapandscoot]

THEN ALL YOUR ABRA BBS ARE BELONG TO HER~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[bamfsecretary]

I had an idea of using Jirachi for a Tanabata/Rocket plot.

The plot would start on the 7th and end on the 14th, as per Jirachi's legend, where it wakes for seven days every thousand years. Perhaps Team Rocket had been keeping an eye on the calendar, and decided to seize their chance for ultimate world domination via the powers of this legendary wishgranter.

...however, the Admins cannot decide on which wish to have granted, and Jirachi decides to leave them and go hunting for wishes to grant, as the bickering of four Rocket Admins isn't very entertaining. It comes across someone (probably an NPC??) who wishes that she would be able to truly know the person she has fallen in love with - and Jirachi grants it.

Therefore, every night from the 7th to the 14th, when people go to sleep, their dreams will be able to be seen by others who are also dreaming (Similar to Munna and Musharna), but they will be able to interact with the people in those dreams. They will also be able to remember everything when they wake up! ...cuing some very unsure faces.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket is doing it's best to recapture Jirachi because hey rude >( you're meant to be granting OUR wishes, not everybody else's!! They eventually catch it when it falls back asleep on the 14th, and many sads are had because now they have to wait another thousand years...

And yeah that's all I got on this one at the moment.

[tearsofademon]

So, uh, there's this one thing I've been sort of half writing up to send to the mods' plot ideas post, but I haven't actually written it out to my satisfaction yet, so I might as well tell it here first...

A swarm of Munna. (And maybe a few Musharna.)

That spread Dream Smoke all over the region, which causes whoever breathes in enough of it to enter a big shared dream. Think the Dream World, except more customizable than floating islands.

Wherein humans dream they are Pokémon, and the Pokémon themselves can of course hang out in the dream too.

And wherein anything that can happen in a dream can happen. (...for instance, wherein a character's Pokémon partner can meet a dream instantiation of their trainer's superpowered evil side who can't come out most of the time because of the power loss. and then it became obvious just why I've been working on this...)

Good? Interesting? Katie this is horrible get out?

Also, I'll toss Ryner and Kurow up for grabs to be playing pieces in anyone else's plots who want them. I don't have anything specific in mind for them myself at the moment, but I'd be happy to get either of them involved. ^^

[tearsofademon]

...wow we're on similar wavelengths, with shared dreams and the like.

[bamfsecretary]

~it is a mystery~

but man, your idea looks cool too...

[hintcoinplz]

What about a Celebi time travel plot? Where Celebi sends everything back in time? It'd be a cool plot for some medieval Pokemon fun or something :3

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

These are really just general ideas. I don’t have any awesome large scale ideas. ):

Okay, so I don’t have any real concrete plans for Cobra’s future. I’d like to pull off at least one more thing before him having to face any sort of consequences for his actions, but I’m not sure what. I’d like to go with something absolutely petty and ridiculous since he hasn’t done anything like that since the Whitney incident. Like carving his own face into a mountain levels of stupidity. …actually, if he could do that with Hyper Beam it’d be perfect. BECAUSE THE MOON IS TOO FAR AWAY AND HE TOTALLY TRIED IT FIRST, CARMEN

On the other side of things, if there’s any interest, PGC people? Cobra doesn’t like the ones he’s spoken with, and doesn’t like what he’s heard from other people (even though he hasn’t really heard much, if anything really). So let me get to the point, anyone up for being targeted by him? A couple of characters are already on his list, so he really wouldn’t mind crossing some more names off of that list besides Danny and Saber. Or at least, trying to. And failing. Horribly.

That’s about all I have kicking around in my head at the moment. Probably a canon update in the future but that’s not really a plot idea.

[doitrockapella]

RACE YOU TO THE MOON, COBRA

FIRST ONE TO GET THEIR FACE ON IT WINS


...Actually, speaking of consequences for his actions, I have this thing I keep meaning to ask you about and keep perpetually forgetting, that would likewise be absolutely petty and ridiculous and basically just utter flailing stupidity all around.

But I would need to know if he ever takes his Cobra Throne out of Rocket Headquarters first.

[soggypastry]

Not sure he'll actually want to do anything about it, but...if Cobra feels like taking care of Lightning himself ("if you want something done right, do it yourself" kind of thing), she's going to be in Olivine's Pokemon Center for a while. How does he feel about semi-easy targets laid up in bed?

[bamfsecretary]

I'd been thinking about this :|a

I guess it would hinge around the Shrine in Ilex Forest, since there's been that thing that if someone damages it, they black out and wake up a day later in the Azalea PokeCenter, with a vague warning of not to do that again...

I wonder what would happen if someone hit it with a Hyper Beam? (The Shrine, that is)

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

CLEARLY WE NEED AN EVENT INVOLVING THE SPACE CENTER FROM GEN III
JUST SO THEY CAN FIGHT OVER WHO HIJACKS THE ROCKET

Uh, he hasn't, but I've already worked out how he would do so if needed. SO BASICALLY IF YOU WANT CARMEN TO STEAL IT WE CAN TOTALLY WORK SOMETHING OUT

[doitrockapella]

CLEARLY THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN

COBRA GET OUT THIS ROCKET IS HERS SHE WILL PAINT IT RED AND EVERYTHING


oh my god you would be making all of my dreams come true I AM JUST SAYING. I promise he would get it back generally unscathed, though he might need some assistance in, uh. Extracting it from where she'd leave it. >>

[ordalias]

I am so up for Xion being targeted by Cobra Commander. Or at the very least, I've been trying to have this girl get more involved and get in the way of stuff (like destroying the device in Goldenrod).

And there's also Red Saber, hurhurhur
