The Dungeons & Dragons 4th edition system fits fantastically with how Pokemon works, so I decided to convert it into Pokemon. Now I am searching for players to help playtest it!You will take the role of a Pokemon trainer living in Pallet Town, Kanto. You haven't any Pokemon yet, but you know what your first Pokemon will be when you get the chance: one of Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, Pichu/Pikachu (they are interchangable flavorwise), Caterpie, Weedle, Pidgey, Rattata, Nidoran (Female), or Nidoran (Male). All Pokemon are equally good choices, like D&D classes, so don't worry about power differences between, for example, Weedle and Charmander.You might have put some thought into your battling strategy. Will you be a Battler, focusing on accuracy, tactics, and using your intelligence to command your Pokemon? Will you be an Evolver, focusing on defense, resistance, and using your constitution to endure many battles in preparation for your Pokemons' evolution? Will you be a Healer, focusing on healing, avoiding damage, and using your wisdom to know what your Pokemon need? Or will you be a Raiser, focusing on damage, durability, and using your strength to train alongside your Pokemon to toughen them up?To find the rules for this game (an ongoing process, so it's not completely complete), follow <a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/4e-fan-creations-house-rules/268201-d-d-4th-edition-pokemon-tabletop-rpg-6.html#post5100511" target="_blank">this_link</a> and download the fairly small PDF called the Trainer's Handbook. Here, you will find the necessary stats to make a trainer and a Pokemon.Of course, I might not be as good at explaining as I think I am, so please post any questions you have here. I will answer them in detail.If you'd like to help with this playtest, you must have a good grasp on the 4e rules. I would like feedback on what is working and what isn't, and it will be hard to do if you don't know how the mechanics work. You don't have to be a rules lawyer, you just need to know the basics and it would be nice for you to know a bit more.As I mention in the linked thread, the PDF doesn't contain all the powers or feats for all the starter Pokemon. If you would like to use one of the Pokemon that is lacking powers and feats, simply let me know here and I will add them promptly.Also, since this is a playtest, if you have an idea for a power or a feat (or another small mechanic, where small means not a trainer specialization or a Pokemon), please propose it as I would like to try out as many ideas as possible.So, post if you're interested! I hope I explained enough, but if you have any questions about anything regarding this playtest, I'd love to answer them. Let your Pokemon journey begin!</blockquote>
