Pokemon Tabletop Adventures is a homebrew tabletop game. It is currently in Beta.


The game is played in a world where many fantastic animals are able to be energized and stored nicely in a machine called a Poké Ball. These animals are called "pocket monsters," or Pokemon for short, and they are carried as tools, friends and partners by Pokemon Trainers. Trainers have various skills and abilities each defined by a Trainer's goal. There are Ace Trainers, who focus all of their energy into making their pokemon the best fighters they can. Breeders, who raise pokemon as if they are their own children and groom them up to be powerful. The Researcher gathers information and serves as a party's go-to guy when they confront a creature they've never met. Rangers are nature guards who dedicate their life to the protection of a wild creature's habitat while employing wilds in their feats. A Capture Specialist is a techie Trainer who can tweak equipment, including the Poké Ball to expand their collection. The Coordinator employs their pokemon in Contests instead of battle as she shows off their beauty. Finally, the Psychic and Martial Artist get their hands dirty and fight the beasts with their own supernatural powers.

A Trainer may explore the world and battle at Gyms to gather Badges which allow them entrance to the Pokemon League Championships. They may compete in Contests to enter Grand Festivals. Maybe they'll uncover a secret plot to destroy the world and try to stop those who would use Pokemon for evil. They may be breeding the most powerful Pokemon as their goal. No matter the destination, Pokemon will be valuable allies and tools in your journeys.

You didn't read any of that did you? Well no matter. Might as well get to posting the links for this stuff.

Okay, that sounds awesome. I defenitely want to try that.

Though it would somewhat nullify all the pokemon training I've been doing for the last decade or so.

EDIT: I went ahead and downloaded the files and took a read through them. They really thought this out, I'm quite impressed. I even went ahead and filled out a character sheet according to the character creation rules.

I am never going to use this, am I? Oh what the hell, might as well have it on hand. Just in case.

There's actually a more up-to-date version of the PDF books that include the Mystic class and the 5th Gen Pokémon here

If they go for it, I'm going to try starting a game with my friends I usually play D&D with. Depending on interest and how things go with that game, I might try to get one going here.

Of course, with this board's track record on tabletop RPGs, I doubt we'll get very far if we even start a game.

If you do, count me in.

Dunno about that tabletop RPG, but if someone starts a Pokemon RP I'll be right here

[Purin]

I'd play, but I will never DM again. I'm so bad at it

[Terrafawkes Tenko]

If I do start one will anyone be interested? =/

I think the current fascination is with the RPG... not the straight roleplay.

[Terrafawkes Tenko]

That's what I thought. No one really does RPs anymore. Don't really get how this tabletop adventure works though. Is it like a boardgame?

Oooh, dear. This should be interesting to try and explain...

Okay, start here to get the basic idea of the thing, and read a bit of this to get a basic idea of the atmosphere and nature of such things. Also, download all of those .pdf and .zip files that Purin and Cairose put up to look the set we'd be using. All of that together should explain it quite thoroughly

[Terrafawkes Tenko]

Oh... I don't think it'll be easy to have a game like this on a forum then D=

Not on a forum, no... but other tools exist.

[Magmetor7]

I'll RP too if anyone else is up for the idea. The RPG also sounds good.
