Yami Fenrir: Jan 25, 2015; Is it I that is insane... or the rest of the world?

Welcome to the Pokemon Village!

Once known to be a peaceful place, conflict has flared up as the elders of the village have mysteriously disappeared.

Sensing their opportunity, an evil force starts to make their move!

Basic information

Days will be 48-72 hours in length. Nights will be 24 hours. These are flexible based on when I want to be up and doing things.
This is a role madness game is for 17 people.
We’ll be using Discord and SA PM's to manage everything, so please make sure you have access to those for the game.
Alignment changes are not part of this game.

Special Mechanic: Evolution!

Each day, players can vote one player to evolve into a more powerful pokemon. The new form will come with upgraded or additional powers. Not all pokemon will be able to evolve - this will be clearly stated in your role PM if you cannot.

General Mafia Rules (That have been stolen from Natural 20 who stole them from Somberero)

1. Don't be poo poo to each other. This is a game, part of the game is having people react, but if you think you’re reacting badly, walk away, calm down, come back later.
2. If you post fewer than ten times across a game day that comes within 12 hours of finishing, I will grant a free vig to be used by the player that posts the most, targeted at you. This goes through any and all protection.
3. Don't edit your posts.
4. Don't talk after you're dead. I'll send you a PM to an Obs doc if you want to chat poo poo.
5. Feel free to post after the hammer/during twilight about non-game stuff.
6. Flavour is flavour, you’re welcome to pursue arguments on it if you want. However, scum are backed by elaborate fakeclaims. Additionally whilst I try to retain flavour justification for many abilities, they will not always match expectations.
7. No replacements after D2.
8. Don't directly quote any communication from me, including your role pm. If you have OOT communication with another player, the rule still applies.
9. Don't fake day actions.
10. If you are affected by a Day Action, do not post under any circumstances until we post the result of the Action. Everyone else is good to keep going.

A note about result language

1. A result that successfully targets will yield the result. "You successfully x your target"
2. A result that does not successfully target will yield the result. "Your action fails."
3. If a player name is ever mentioned as part of a result, this is a mod error.
4. A "successful" target is defined as an ability resolving on someone. This does not have to be the intended target, so a redirected result will yield the same language as a result that has not been redirected.

Replacements:

The original 151 are the only ones I have any idea about so I'm sure this game will go just fantastic for me.

Yes the mainstream TV show, which is an anime, and incredibly good. Or at least for the first couple seasons.

I will try to make Pokémon shitposts and fail miserably, get dunked early, yet still be on the winning team anyway.
