[QUOTE="AlephSubZero, post: 62138, member: 22653"] [Essentials v19.1] Have you ever had that moment in a randomizer nuzlocke challenge where you could’ve sworn the randomizer was a sentient being, twiddling their thumbs and carefully calculating exactly which Pokémon to give your rival in order to cause the most destruction to your team? If yes, I’d like to propose a question that has gone unanswered for far too long: why should our AI overlords get to have all the fun? Introducing the Pokémon Randomizer PVP, a 2-player game where one person gets to take the steering wheel and choose all the Pokémon that the other player should have to cope against! The game is centered around both players trolling the other person as much as possible in order to gain an edge. Of course, this means that the person playing as the randomizer won’t get to have all the fun; your victim has all sorts of ways to fight back and make your life just as miserable as theirs! While Player 1 has to go through a randomized Pokémon nuzlocke playthrough, Player 2 has to play a resource management game where the only way to get resources is by damaging the first player’s Pokémon, and the only way to win is to wipe Player 1’s team! Player 1 will have all sorts of tricks up their sleeve in order to fight back and force Player 2 to adapt to their playstyle. [B]What does Player 2 do exactly?[/B] Upon starting a game, Player 2 will be dropped into the room showcased here: [IMG]https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1125881903321452557/1141817336513441802/image.png?width=706&height=581[/IMG] This room currently gives you access to the following features [LIST] [*]A plinko machine that gives out random Pokémon as prizes [*]A menu that allows you to modify said Pokémon in various ways after obtaining them [*]A menu that lets you increase the level of your Pokémon and/or purchase more plinko coins [*]An items shop [/LIST] [IMG]https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1125881903321452557/1142137262931447938/image.png?width=392&height=290[/IMG] [B]The gameplay loop[/B] Every time Player 1 enters a battle, the opposing NPC trainer will send out a Meouter unit.
