The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

I would imagine that kind of thing would be, usually they have that limited to say, three wishes, no wishing for more wishes sort of thing, makes it more fair I reckon too.

By the way, I am thinking of making Marcel more of a prominent character you know, a chef and all.  Also, his ethicity I am actually thinking African-American.  If you've seen the movie Deep Blue Sea, then you'll know what I am getting at in a way, but skin tone a bit more darker.

Gives Eevee another friend as well :lol:

But yeah, Team Rocket would be interesting to have in the next RP.
One problem I ran into with Team Rocket. In the anime, they are almost always ineffective. How would they pose a threat in the 4th RP? The Pelvanida Group, hell Nick and Nani, would rip them to pieces.

I mean, Team Rocket could be "scaled up" like I did for my canceled fic The Mewtwo Project. There, TR poses a serious threat.

They could also be comedic villian types.  Not really a threat.  There is always that option.

serris has a point..they would have to be scaled up, if we were to use them, because if we go off the anime.. they would pose no threat..

If you want to do them a serious threat and not comedic villains maybe it will take just a tweak here and a tweak there.   I remember in an old issue of dragon magazine they talked about (back when tsr had the license to put out an rpg based on marvel comics) how you could take a no threat villain and do some minor tweaks to make them a real threat.

Mine:

Ms. Swimmer
Zachary
Deimos
Mr. Bigmouth
Rime
Dr. Zanasiu
Dr. Kerzach
Setsuna
Dr. John MacIntire (This is a hybrid of two characters in the The Mewtwo Project - the "combat scientist" Dr. John MacIntire and the Silph Co. psionics researcher who is Human but has some pretty potent psionic attacks <A deleted scene showed him knocking out a Rocket grunt's Arbok in one blow with a psionic blade then telekineticially taking control of said Rocket grunt's arm and forcing him to shoot himself>)

-----------------

As TVTropes puts it referring to my "scaled up" Team Rocket:

Quote
Team Rocket is apparently able to field an entire fleet of various warships (including an aircraft carrier), helicopter gunships and apparently several hundred troops to take over an island.

That should be a good baseline.

For me:

Marcel
Myra
Destiny
Pikachu
Vaporeon
Eevee

And possibly even Roze might show up again, she's undecided at the moment.

But yeah, with Team Rocket I could only imagine them being a threat to Destiny and her Pokemon you know XD

and regular non powered folks also.  Though no reason they can't be comedic villians.  Or do some tweaks.  

There is no reason instead of being the big bad, they can't work for a big bad and be what my friend would call named thugs.  These are a type of bad guys who are not the main bad guy, they work for the big bad and are not eliminated quickly like unnamed thugs are, at least not till near the end of the rp or story.  They can be beaten but escape or send in unnamed thugs and escape when they see their unnamed thugs being easily beaten, often in large numbers in some fiction.  

You can also have named thugs be minor and major named thugs with minor named thugs while being dangerous opponents do not last anywhere to near the end of the rp or story, like Boba Fett and his father.   Unlike say Darth Maul, Count Dooku and Vader.  Though perhaps not good examples.

The Pelvanida Group is has no powers yet they would walk all over Team Rocket.

I guess Jessie, Jamies and Meowth could feature as a "semi-serious" threat. They are still funny and they do manage to do damage but the heroes blast them off.

Though I would imagine the Pelvanida Group would send them blasting off with explosives instead of PokÈmon.
