Pokemon Rules

[Kinkaze]

• 1. When starting a journey all Pokemon are to be received in the lab in Lauhau Village. These Pokemon will always be level 5.
  
  
• 2. You can request to battle a trainer in any place except the Shrines. Simply add the "NPC" label to your thread. For a wild Pokemon, add the "Wild Pokemon" label!

• 3. Experience. 
• Versus a wild pokemon
  • If the wild pokemon is the same level as your Pokemon: victory - your Pokemon will gain one level, loss - your Pokemon gains no levels.
  • If the wild Pokemon is lower-leveled (-1 to -5) than your Pokemon: victory - your Pokemon will gain 0.5 levels, loss - your Pokemon gains no levels.
  • If the wild Pokemon is lower-leveled (-6-10) than your Pokemon: victory - your Pokemon will gain 0.25 levels, loss - your Pokemon gains no levels.
  • If the wild Pokemon is higher-leveled (+1 to +5) than your Pokemon: victory - your Pokemon will gain 3 levels, loss - your Pokemon will gain 0.25 levels.
  • If the wild Pokemon is higher-leveled (+6 to +10) than your Pokemon: victory - your Pokemon will gain 4 levels, loss - your Pokemon will gain 0.5 levels.
  • And so on, for every sequence of 5, add 3 for victory; and for loss, multiply the sequence # by 0.25. (e-g: +16 to +20 = victory: +7 levels,  loss: +1 levels)
  • For every Pokemon involved in the battle, divide the gain of levels equally and round up to the nearest quarter.
    • E.g: Level 5 Wurmple vs. Level 3 Wild Pichu, Wurmple wins. Wurmple gains 0.5 levels.
    • E.g: Level 5 Wurmple vs. Level 10 Wild Pikachu, Pikachu wins. Wurmple gains 0.25 levels.
    • E.g: Level 5 Pikachu vs. Level 50 Raichu, Raichu wins. Pikachu gains (9*.25) 2.25 levels.
• Versus a trainer
  • If the trainer's Pokemon is the same level as your Pokemon: victory - your Pokemon will gain 1.5 levels, loss - your Pokemon will gain 0.25 levels.
  • If the trainer's Pokemon is lower-leveled (-1 to -100) than your Pokemon: victory - your Pokemon will gain 0.25 levels, loss: your Pokemon gains no levels.
  • If the trainer's Pokemon is higher-leveled: victory - your Pokemon will gain 0.5 levels per level different, loss: your Pokemon will gain 0.25 levels per 2 levels different.
    • E.g: Level 15 Pikachu vs. Level 17 Raichu, Pikachu wins. He gains 1 level (0.5 * 2).
    • E.g: Level 15 Pikachu vs. Level 17 Raichu, Raichu wins. Pikachu gains 0.25 levels (0.25 * (2/2)).
    • E.g: Level 20 Raichu vs. Level 30 Marshtomp, Marshtomp wins. Raichu gains 1.25 levels (0.25 * (10/2)).
