Welcome to the Shula Safari Zone!
In this area, upon creating a thread you will have 3 chances to meet Pokemon. These Pokemon you meet will be rolled for like normal, so it's all down to rolls, but you can meet commons, uncommons, and rares from different areas. That's right, commons that were once in areas far too hard to get to can be found!
But how will it work? Well....
First, create a thread like any other in the area. Your character may pick one Pokemon to enter with them as their "buddy", and this Pokemon will be the one going around with them.
Then, pick 3 areas from the list posted below which you want to visit. Obviously, there are some types of Pokemon that are likely to appear in some areas, but don't bank on that! There could be an electric type hunting at a pond or a rock type stuck in a swamp, or something similar.
Then, write a post with your character heading into the zone they're planning on going. By this, we mean have your character head to the area, for example the beach, and then when the mod posts they will tell you where you arrive specifically (as they may need to control what you can and can't see or where you end up in the area for plot reasons). No point in going to the beach and looking in the water if a Pokemon is drowning in the sand, is there?
Aside from the circumstances surrounding starting posts, this will not be like a normal thread.
For a start, battling will not gain you exp (and is in fact against the Safari Zone rules IC), so don't just battle all your issues away! Pokemon will offer you a story, a bit of a plot and if you do well with the Pokemon then they might want to join you.
However, this will all be told to you in a summary at the end of your thread, and you can only bring ONE of these Pokemon along!
You also will be awarded 100 exp for every encounter that ends well and 10-30 for every that ends badly, so put the effort in because it could pay off! This exp can go to your buddy or to the Pokemon you chose to have join you at the end of the thread, your call, however no items found in the zone can leave it...unless, of course, there's an exception.
When each encounter is done, you can mention whether your character moves on to another area or stays put. If you stay put, though, remember that other Pokemon could have seen you.
The idea of these threads is to encourage thinking and complexity- sure, wild threads won't suddenly lose the more complex types of posts and plots, not in the slightest, but these threads offer you a chance for a bit of a quicker thread with 2 less encounters than normal.
We will still challenge you, though! Just because a Pokemon lost an item, don't expect finding it to always solve all the issues
Have fun!
