Pokémon Factions game:

In a Factions game, you start out in a pre-made alliance with a few other players. Your goal is simple, be the last Faction remaining and you win. In a standard Factions game, at the start of the game, you’re told who your team is, however, for this game, you will not be told at all. You'll be given your role (the relevant pokemon) and that's it. It's up to you and your teammates to organize yourselves.

Possible Roles:

Cop – Psychic – Alakazam, Xatu, Gardevoir, Bronzong, Gothitelle
Vigilante – Pseudo-Legendary – Dragonite, Tyranitar, Salamence, Garchomp, Hydreigon
Doctor – Cloyster, Foretress, Torkoal, Bastiodon, Scolipede

Gen 1 Bomb - Electrode
Gen 1 Driver - Pidgeot
Gen 2 Silencer - Lanturn
Gen 2 Sniper - Octillery
Gen 3 Oracle - Grumpig
Gen 3 Governor - Wailord
Gen 4 Bulletproof - Rhyperior
Gen 4 Hunter - Mismagius
Gen 5 Hooker - Meloetta
Gen 5 Deputy – Volcorona

Kanto – Alakazam (Cop), Dragonite (Vig), Cloyster (Doc), Electrode (Bomb), Pidgeot (Driver).

Johto – Xatu (Cop), Tyranitar (Vig), Foretress (Doc), Lanturn (Silencer), Octillery (Sniper).

Hoenn – Gardevoir (Cop), Salamence (Vig), Torkoal (Doc), Grumpig (Oracle), Wailord (Governor).

Sinnoh – Bronzong (Cop), Garchomp (Vig), Bastiodon (Doc), Rypherior (Bulletproof), Mismagius (Hunter).

Unova – Gothitelle (Cop), Hydreigon (Vig), Scolipede (Doc), Meloetta (Hooker), Volcorona (Deputy).

Kalos – Will be added if game reaches 31 signups

Mewtwo – Third party. Voting power of 3. Can either kill one person per night or have all visitors be killed. Must choose action each night.


I'd appreciate feedback. This is going on Nuzlocke so 26 signups isn't a completely unrealistic possibility. Mewtwo is strong but kinda needs to be with there being 5 different cops on D1 (gives him like a 25% chance of being found out first night if he doesnt have granny like protection)

Thaaanks.

no Weavile or Sneasel no buy

EDIT: I have proceeded to misread the area this thread is in yet again. Regardless, consider it a pre-emptive sign-up because the only factions game I was in was one where all the factions were the same so yeah.

So, how will the Cop get results? I don't really see how people can organize unless a person's role is told, but even then, it'll take a long time to get organized as a team. (Maybe I'm missing something...)

Change Mewtwo to Lord Goomy

I like this settup, no one faction seems too overpowered while still having variety to it. Factions might be a little too complicated for the newer nuzlocke players, though.

Nothing better for a Nuzlocke game than a game about killing pokemon.

Anyways, seems balanced enough to me.

They'll get used to it.

Just another advantage of the two-games-at-once thing, those that don't want to mess with Factions can go join a more traditional game, as I feel there will probably be one open at that time.

this was kinda the plan. glad y'all think it's balanced enough though. also newer players do need to learn factions at some point, and this one has mostly vanilla roles (even if some are a little odd/underused)

did want peoples opinion though, as was discussing it last night: if this gets 31 signups, should I add another faction, or should I add a role to each of the factions?

also as discussed on skype there's no joint winning in this. phases will end after majority or highest votes after 48hours, with standard 24hour night phase.
