Q: Can I be a trainer and a breeder?
A: No, but that doesn't mean Trainers and Breeders cannot occasionally participate in each others activities. Remember however, the divisions in trainer specialties exist for a reason. You are expected to stick with your choice and focus mainly on their respective goals.
Q: Legendary Pokemon are on the ban list. Does that mean we can't catch legendaries here?
A: I'm going to say yes for now. In the future though we may have some events where there may be some chance of someone catching a legendary.
Q: How many special roles per character can I have?
A: One.
Q: My battle has been going on for a week and my opponent isn't getting on. What should I do?
A: If your opponent vanished without warning you ahead of time and are gone for more then 3 days, contact an admin and we will declare an automatic victory for you.
Q: Are there benefits in traveling in teams?
A: That all depends on you. If you want to Ash, Brock, and generic third girl it up, that's entirely up to you. The benefits are whatever you make of it.
Q: I want to be a Moderator!!!
A: Well, that isn't even a question and you're sounding pretty arrogant there, buddy. If you feel you can contribute to pkmn-lan as a staff member and we happen to be looking for them then we will make an announcement and have applications posted.
Q: How long do field effects last?
A: Weather effects and any other field effects that specifically last for a certain amount of turns will last that many of the user's posts. Also weather inducing moves can only be used when appropriate. I don't want to see Rain Dances in caves or Sandstorms on the ocean.
Q: OMG where are all the Pokemon Centers??!!!
A: We figured you wouldn't suck so much and wouldn't need them. Nah......We thought it would be redundant to have a Pokemon Center board everywhere. It is implied that all towns, cities, and settlements have Pokemon Centers. If you need to be in one just post and say you're there.
Q: Someone on the website is bothering me, what should I do about it.
A: Report it to the staff. If a fellow member is being disruptive towards your stay here, then reprimands will be made. Sometimes, two people need to talk out their problems, and then they get along fine. Other times, arrangements with a third party need to be made, so a solution to the conflict will be discovered. If a member is misbehaving, they will most likely receive a banning
Q: OMFG you *****! You Banned ME! How could you?
A: It's quite easy. We went to your profile and banned you. If this is your first time, it's only a 3 day banning, unless your crime was very serious. And maybe, if the crime was minor, you've only been banned for the rest of the day to take time to cool off. Please don't curse/swear at the staff or other members, as we always take the time to respectfully speak to you. And next time, please behave.
Q: Can we post in more then one place at a time.
A: No. Unless if the other post is an ooc post. Otherwise, you may not. Why? Because it just makes it weird...
Q: I'm the in the Elite 4/a Gym Leader. Does that mean I can't catch and train Pokemon outside of my designated type(s)
A: No. Feel free to catch and use any Pokemon you wish. During gym/elite 4 battles, however, you are expected to stick to your designated types.
Q: I've been seeing nothing but common wild Pokemon. Where's my Bagon!!? :<
A: While Random Encounter mods do have the ability to make rarer Pokemon appear, some Pokemon will only appear to you once you have met a certain condition or have attempted to search for them in a specific way. These conditions are fairly simple and mostly everyone will meet them as they progress. For example, some Pokemon will only appear to you once every Pokemon in your party has passed a certain level. Other times you might have to have a specific item; Dratini can only be caught with a Super Rod. Finally, as you may have guessed, certain Pokemon may only appear in certain locations.
Locations and methods for finding specific Pokemon won't be revealed, but all it takes is a bit of thought and some common sense.
Q: Can pokemon actually talk here!?
A: Yes and no. Pokemon have the ability of poke-speak and as such can communicate with other pokemon. Humans cannot understand pokemon talk so of course they cannot communicate with each other.
The only exception to this is Psychic pokemon with high bonds to their trainer and a high level. Psychic pokemon that are at least level 50 and have been with the same trainer for about 100 posts, can telepathically talk to their trainer. However they cannot translate for other pokemon to their trainer. Why? It's just how it is.
Q: My Random Encounter Mod hasn't posted in my thread for a week now! What should I do?
A: Right. In this situation, you should have only waited three days and then submitted a claim to one of the admins on the site through way of PM. The situation will be dealt with accordingly, whether it is to replace the RE mod or bring the thread back to their attention.
Q: What if my question is not on this list?
A: Post it in the Questions board (this board), or PM us (the staff). All questions, suggestions, or corrections to something on Efinea that contradicts the story or is grammatically incorrect, can be posted here.
Q: Do you use pokemorphs here?
A: Yes, we do!
