Templates and Other Rules

The thing about Pokemon is that the games and anime are very inconsistent; not just with each other but within each work. It's never made clear how fast Pokemon age, or how much more powerful Pokemon are than human beings. They change sizes and weights whenever the plot needs them to. Because of these factors, the GM is required to adjust the templates and see if he and I made the same assumptions. But before I discuss each template, I will discuss a new limitation.

Dramatic [-10%]
This is a limitation intended to be used with Shrinking or Growth. Your ability to change sizes is both unconscious and unnoticeable; the change is triggered whenever the GM feels it would fit the scene, and no one notices that you changed sizes, not even you.

This is intended for Pokemon whose size is inconsistent, like Ash's Charizard tended to be.

Templates:
Anime-esque Pokemon
You are a Pokemon. Only other Pokemon can even come close to defeating you in combat. Strangely, humans, despite being as weak as they are, rule the world. They even treat you as if they are better than you. Sometimes you attack them, just to show them who's strongest, but you always 'dial it down'.

In especially anime-esque games, certain Pokemon will want Control, Create, and especially broad and powerful innate attacks with Selectivity. In these kind of games, you might want to allow players to add multiple elemental types to attacks with Selectivity; each one after the first gives no discount.

Shuckles and More

Alright, the first major update to GURPS: Pokemon is complete. Either tomorrow morning or Friday evening I should have an other update posted, this time adding character templates, like trained Pokemon or Rescue team member. But for now, enjoy the ten additional moves and ten additional Pokemon I've added. Get them from GURPS: Pokemon at Sourceforge and enjoy this sample:

Elmer isn't a very wealthy man; he's a traveler with dreams of becoming a master. All he has to take him to said dream is his Shuckle, Shucks. They have a close bond, Elmer having received her as a gift over a decade ago when he was still in Scouts. Their tactics are simple; grapple the opponent with a Bug Bite, and then Earthquake it into submission. It's proven to be a fairly effective plan against the Pokemon they shake down from trees, but it doesn't seem to work as well in an official battle.
