We Need Your Help! We actually have two projects we need help for, and they're both related, so I'll go over them one at a time. First, as most of you know, the new site is going to feature a full-fleged PokeDex. To make the process of building the dex entries either, our local code monkey MechanicalMonarch has created a brilliant program that practically does the job for us. One of the most remarkable features of the dex entry builder is its learnset creator; all you have to do is input the name and level of the move, and the program takes care of the rest. However, this requires.... Read More |

I am never alone

This is something that would kinda be unique to OI because of our action updates and our plethora of events that we hold. It would increase the ability of users in these action updates, being able to buy/acquire "tools" that we could use for various functions. Examples of tools that we might use (I'm sure you guys can come up with more, it's just some ideas of what I'm talking about): Flashlight/Lantern: Allows users to have portable light without the need for fire. Would be usable around flammables without causing an explosion or a major fire. Sledge Hammer: Allows users to break and/or damage rock, walls and other objects. Can also be used as a weapon. Timber Axe: Allows users to chop trees and plant life. Can also be used as a weapon. Climbing Picks: Allows users to scale rock walls more easily and allows scaling of slippery ice walls. Can also be used as weapon(s). Digging Shovel: Allows users to dig into soft earth and clay. Will not dig through rocks. Requires two hands to use. (Maybe usable as a weapon?) Just an idea, I posted it here as to get feedback from everyone on what they thought about being able to have tools to use in their RPs. If I had one of the "can be used as a weapon" items in my Abyss adventure, I wouldn't have caused the cave in. |

Ding-dong! Woof...bears.

I actually really like this idea, because most players otherwise would have had to make an explicit statement earlier before the event saying "John Smith packed a flashlight into his bag before setting off for the castle", which is potentially unreliable anyways, thanks to that edit button. But yes, I like it, personally. |

Hm... this is an interesting idea. Would they have to buy the tools at a shop, or pick from a preset list before the event? |

I kind of like the idea of a preset list, like whoever shoved you off to your location gave you a couple of options on tools to take with you. That way, you wouldn't be able to collect all of them and make things substantially easier for you (and you can supplement whatever you don't take with Pokémon, most likely), but still have something of an edge as you explore. |

Maybe before the event there could be like a list of like 10 and you can pick 3 or 5 to take with you to the event |

Prepare to be OWNED

I like this Idea, my first tought was to buy stuff, but some people are too rich, and it would be to easy for them, so chosing a few it's the best idea |

I originally thought they would be bought from some kind of a shop such that you could use them in your regular adventure if you had action updates. And as for what you can carry, we might sort them into types and restrict that way. I'm gonna add more items to my list so I can explain some possiblities: Rescue Flare: Rescue flares can be used to signal in a rescue squad that take you back to town. In a team event, they can also be used to signal your team if you get separated. Each use consumes one rescue flare. Dynamite: Dynamite can be used to blast through solid walls and to punch holes in rock. Each use consumes one charge of dynamite. Machete: A machete can be used to slash through plant life such as bushes. Is ineffective for chopping down large trees. Can be used with one hand. Engineer's Hammer: An engineer's hammer can be used to smash locks and damage some materials. Not as powerful as a sledge hammer. Can be used with one hand. Knight's Shield: A heavy iron shield can be used to protect its user from attacks. Will also act as a blast shield to protect from nearby explosions. The shield is equipped as a two handed tool but is used in the off hand. Items such as a flashlight fit in a bag. A flashlight could count as a "key item", like the Coin Case, Old Rod and such. Flares and dynamite fit in bags too, but would class as regular items (like Potions would) because they are consumed when you use them. A trainer can carry one two-handed tool and two one-handed tools. This means a trainer can carry a sledge hammer and climbing picks, but not a sledge hammer and a timber axe, or a machete and climbing picks. One handed tools can be worn on your sides in a holster (imagine like carpenter pants having the hammer loop, or a knife sheath attached to a hunter's belt), where a two handed tool is strapped to the user's back (I've strapped a logging axe to my back before, it can be done). |

ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOMUNK

Perhaps a combination of both purchasable and preset? Allow players to buy a few general-use tools from shops, and then give an additional selection of special "rental" tools more specific to any events? |

I like this idea a lot. Generic, everyday useful items like a flashlight or maybe a bungee cord/rope could be available in the store. *has ideas of Zelda-esque bottles that you can use to store certain things* And then for events, if they're going into caves and stuff, there could be a list of items you could borrow and you'd pick just one or two. |
