We need a forums event of some sort.

that is a good point but I trust that most people on here probably wouldn’t do that cause integrity

As I posted in another thread on how to bump activity here, an event you can hold would be a Pokémon Mystery Dungeon game event. I'm not sure of the limitations of the Forum but one person could act as Dungeon Master(not me sadly… imagination of a rock for moi) while those interested can sign up with the Pokémon of their choice with obvious limitations. No Legendaries or Mythicals and Pseudo-Legendaries are allowed but you must start off in their base form. Meaning if you want Gyarados or Milotic, you got to suffer as a Magikarp or Feebas respectively(which may not be ideal for a team honestly). Regional variants are permitted, as are Hidden Abilities. Players may choose their Nature or Dungeon Master can simply force everyone to roll a Neutral one. If you want an Egg Move, you must declare it when signing up so that it's included in your starting movepool. All movesets will be based on Generation 9 or whatever the latest Generation your Pokémon was involved in. Pokémon who evolve via Trade will be permitted given that we can simulate such "Evolutions". If such Evolutions require an item(like Metal Coat for Onix or Scyther), you must find such item or purchase it from a vendor in order to Evolve. Ditto Evolution Stones for Pokémon that require that method. All Pokémon would start out at like level 5, 10 or 15(leave that to Dungeon Master but I think Level 5 is the ideal starting spot) and work our way up to like level 70 for the final boss battle to allow players to choose Pokémon who evolve very late(looking at you Volcarona or Hydreigon). Maps would have specific terrain that limit Pokemon movement. Water, for example, could only be entered by Water Pokémon, Flying Pokémon or those with Levitate ability.

If something like this were to happen, I'll be the first volunteer, hence here's an example submission.

Name: Lonestar

Pokémon: Alolan Vulpix

Ability: Snow Cloak

Nature: Modest

Egg Move Request: **Moonblast**

Starting Moveset: Powder Snow, Tail Whip, Disable, **Moonblast**

I'd also love to have Freeze Dry since it was an Egg Move in Gen 7 and 8 but since it's now in the learnset, I have to grind to 48 for it… sigh. Anyways, what do you all think?

Not sure if above link will work but above is an example of what I have in mind. This forum may not have the capability of pulling something like this off, but it is essentially the best example I can find. Not sure what formatting/coding went into it but suffice to say that it looks pretty nice no?

the forum definitely does not have the capability to pull that off

Figured as much. Just means we have to improvise as best we can. Was perusing the topic and it seems they based movement on the Pokémon’s Speed. Once you move, you’d carry out an action: Use move, use item or “sprint” by moving again. Not entirely sure how they did combat but needless to say, that’s exactly what I’d like to do here.
