KANTO REGION (1 - 151)

Since Project Pokemon is on hold right now, I went ahead and finished all 151 Kanto Region Pokemon so my younger Pokeson and I can have some battles.

Some of the Pokemon listed here are Project Pokemon cards--and I've noted that. The rest are non-official cards that follow the Project Pokemon system.

All cards can be found here:

Wow, I don't know how I missed these when you first posted them. These are some awesome cards, I can't believe you did all the Kanto pokes! A lot seem to be underpriced though, Rhyhorn stands out as one.

How do you handle the evolution mechanic? I've added evolution on some of my cards but it always felt out of place. I thought it might have been in Project Pokemon somewhere but I haven't been able to locate it...

Project Pokemon

White Knight was heavily involved in Project Pokemon during its run, as was I. Evolution, IIRC, was going to be handleds between battles of a campaign.

Thanks for looking!:D

The draft Project Pokemon rulebook is in the Project Pokemon Finalization page here:

Project Pokemon Finalization Page

The rulebook, and links to all the official Project Pokemon cards are in the first post. The finalized cards (Charmander to Paras) have all be playtested, so the points are pretty accurate.

I haven't done a lot of playtesting yet, so I'm sure that some of the points on my cards are off. I pretty much did a mental comparison with existing cards and took a guess at a price to give me something to start with. I play to start playtesting some soon--and I'll keep this thread updated with my results.
 
Thanks for the link, somehow I missed that download when I scrolled through. :duh: It's a shame project pokemon ended, there were some really cool cards coming out of there. I'm happy to see that you are continuing it, so to speak.
 
A lot seem to be underpriced though, Rhyhorn stands out as one.

I'm not so sure that Rhyhorn is that overpriced.

Strengths:
Attack of 3, with a possible attack of 8.
Defense of 6.

Cons:
3 Life.
Move of 5.
Only 1 attack per turn.
Straight Line Movement makes it easy for an opponent to avoid Charge. This is especially true in one-on-one battles (where you can either engage Rhyhorn to avoid a Charge or you can move one space out of direct line).

When I cost figures, I think about both how powerful the figure is and how easy/frustrating that figure will be to play. I think Rhyhorn is going to be extremely frustrating to play well. It's just too easy for an opponent to avoid Charge. If I priced him at 110, or 120, I don't know if I'd want to bother with Rhyhorn when I can take Sgt. Drake and get 6 attack and 6 move with Thorian Speed. However, at 90 points, Rhyhorn might be worth the frustration.
 
PLAYTEST

I just ran a quick playtest: Rhyhorn (90 pts) versus the Krav Maga Agents (100 pts).

The playtest was played on my custom battlefield:

Knight's Canyon Road
CanyonRoad.jpg


As I thought, Rhyhorn had a tough time getting into position to attack. The Krav attacked in the first round and hit --> 1st wound on Rhyhorn.

Rhyhorn won the initiative and was able to use Charge--> 1st Krav out

The Krav Maga Agents scored another wound --> 2nd wound on Rhyhorn.

But Rhyhorn got adjacent to one Krav and took her out with its normal attack. --> 2nd Krav out

The last Krav dodged around and around, always placing himself so that Rhyhorn could not engage. Finally the agent attacked from height and took out Rhyhorn.

Krav win--1/3 Krav remaining

Just for fun I continued playing as if Rhyhorn had blocked the attack. I rolled initiative and Rhyhorn won initiative and got adjacent to the last Krav (without using Charge). Rhyhorn took out the last Krav with his normal attack.

SUMMARY
It's too soon to judge right now, but after one playtest Rhyhorn seems about right at 90-100 points. Rhyhorn's 6 Defense is pretty formidable, but it's not unstoppable.
 
Wow, that's a ton of work here! These are pretty awesome! It'd be cool to do the Johto Pokes too, some of my favorites are from Gen II. ;)

Are there any decent minis for these? Or do you just proxy everything? Awesome work! :D

The 1" Pokemon figures (found easily on Ebay) are just about the right Heroscape size for most of the Pokemon.

The 2" Pokemon figures are good for the larger Pokemon.
 
Thanks for the figure info. My fiance love pokemon, so she seemed interested. ;) I might have to help you out when you get to Johto. ;) If you want, of course!

You make a good point. I was thinking a possible attack of 8 would warrant at least 100 points, but really that only hurts heroes (overkill vs squads), and straight line movement means heroes can stay out of the way. Rhyhorn is only scary when you get backed into a corner, which is cool.
 
Just an FYI, Bulbasaur is only grass. He's not poison until he evolves :)

I'm a real nitpick, aren't I? regardless, these are some great cards. I have many, many pokemon figures , and though they may be a little large for heroscape, I will enjoy using these cards.

Nope, Bulbasaur has always been Grass/Poison. ;)

I was looking for 90-100 point heroes to playtest against Rhyhorn and decided to use Ne-gok-sa.

Comparing Rhyhorn with Ne-gok-sa:

RHYHORN
RHYHORN.png


NE-GOK-SA
3D066943-A662-4414-B6D0-EB242D114649.jpg


Rhyhorn and Ne-Gok-Sa pretty much have the same stats (Move 5, Range 1, Attack 3, Defense 6).

- Ne-Gok-Sa has 2 more life than Rhyhorn and has Mindshackle.

- Rhyhorn has Charge (for a possible attack of 8 ), but it has Water Weakness and Straight Line Movement.

Playtest Results
I did a quick playtest, and Ne-Gok-Sa was able to get adjacent to Rhyhorn without being Charged. At that point, it's a 5 Life figure against a 3 Life figure with the same stats-->and Ne-Gok-Sa also has Mindshackle.

In the first game, Rhyhorn rolled really well and somehow beat Ne-Gok-Sa even without charge and without winning initiative.

In the second game, Ne-Gok-Sa Mindshackled Rhyhorn on the first roll and the game was over.

I'm thinking now that 90 points is about right.
 
Pokemon Battle #1

I ran a Pokemon battle last night using 400 point armies of 6 Pokemon each.

The battle was played on my custom battlefield:

Knight's Canyon Road
CanyonRoad.jpg



Team #1 (Team Hitmonchan)
Golbat (60 pts)
Hitmonchan (100 pts)
Clefable (100 pts)
Dratini (75 pts)
Diglett (40 pts)
Eevee (25 pts)

Team #2 (Team Charmeleon)
Magnemite (70 pts)
Charmeleon (120 pts)
Sandshrew (50 pts)
Geodude (60 pts)
Clefairy (80 pts)
Caterpie (10 pts)


Battle Summary
Team Hitmonchan's initial strategy: send out Golbat to try to confuse some of the opponent's Pokemon. Then follow up with Hitmonchan to take them out.

Team Charmeleon's initial strategy: send out Magnemite (using the road bonus) to quickly attack the opponent's start zone. Send out Charmeleon after that.

Skirmish #1
Magnemite ignored Golbat and went straight for Hitmonchan--causing one wound. Hitmonchan used his Comet Punch and caused 2 wounds. Magnemite couldn't cause another wound and Hitmonchan took it out.

Skirmish #2
Golbat used Confuse Ray and confused Charmeleon. Charmeleon (confused) move down the road to a place 6 clear sight spaces away from Hitmonchan. Hitmonchan used Comet Punch (with 8 attack!) and caused 3 wounds. Charmeleon (confused again) moved again to exactly 6 clear sight spaces away from Hitmonchan. Hitmonchan used Comet Punch again (with 8 attack!) and Charmeleon was out.

(Note: this was a big surprise, because in playtests Charmeleon almost always earned his 120 points.)

Skirmish #3
With things looking rather grim for Team Charmeleon, Sandshrew and Clefairy moved forward. Golbat confused Sandshrew, but Clefairy was able to move forward and attack Hitmonchan. After trading some blows (and several successful Sand Attacks), Hitmonchan was able to take out Clefairy but Sandshrew was able to finish off both Hitmonchan and Golbat.

Skirmish #4
Dratini and Geodude both moved the center of the map. Geodude was able to wound Dratini, but Dratini used Slam and took out Sandshrew. Geodude finished off Dratini.

End of Battle
Geodude and Caterpie fought bravely, but Diglett and Clefable were able to win the battle. Eevee never got out of the starting zone.

Summary

Hitmonchan
Hitmonchan was way too powerful for 100 points. 4 attacks of 2 is strong, but with height it's 4 attacks of 3--that's almost Fen Hydra powerful.

Recommendations: I'm going to change Hitmonchan to 120 points and change Rapid Punch to the following:

Rapid Punch
When attacking a figure whole base is on the same level as this Hitmonchan's base with a normal attack, you may attack 3 additional times.

Hitmonchan still gets 4 attacks, but it can't get height advantage so it's always an attack of 2.

Golbat
Confusion is almost too unbalancing. Not only does a figure lose a turn on a roll of 1-12, but it's easy to set them up for height advantage or for attacks that increase with distance such as Charge (Rhyhorn) and Rapid Punch. It's also almost instant death on a battlefield with lava.

Suggestion: Change it to a straight line movement.

Confusion
Before moving a figure with a Confusion Status Marker, you must roll the 20-sided die.
On a roll of 1-12, the opponent to your left must choose a straight-line direction away from the Confused figure. Move that figure it's maximum movement, if possible, in that direction. That figure may not move or attack that turn. Figures moved by Confusion never take leaving engagement attacks.
On a roll of 13 or higher, remove the Confusion Status Marker.

I think it will reduce the impact of Confusion, and set up some strategy on lava maps where you want to avoid straight-line paths to lava.

Golbat should also probably be 80 points instead of 60 because of Confuse Ray. Maybe even 100 points.

Clefairy/Clefable Metronome
I love this attack, even though it's usually not that powerful (and during the battle Clefairy did both Splash and Dragon Puff--0 attack moves).

Geodude
Geodude was fun to play, especially with all the rock tiles on this battlefield.

Diglett
Dig Special Attack was fun to use and very thematic.

Overall
Overall, the Pokemon battle was a lot of fun. I'll make the above changes and try the battle again.
 
For Hitmonchan, you could always just make it a special attack. That way it can't be modified with height advantage!
 
For Hitmonchan, you could always just make it a special attack. That way it can't be modified with height advantage!

I thought about that, but then I'd have to decide what to do for Hitmonchan's normal attack. I'd probably have to increase it to at least 3 or 4 to make it something someone would use. And I didn't want to give it a 3rd attack if I didn't have to.

Also, some defenses such as Sandshrew's Sand Attack only work against normal attacks. That situation actually came up in a game last night--Sandshrew Sand Attacking Hitmonchan so it couldn't attack.
 
Pokemon Battle #2

I ran a second Pokemon battle last night using almost the same 400 point armies of 6 Pokemon each.

The battle was played on my custom battlefield:

Knight's Canyon Road
CanyonRoad.jpg



Team #1 (Team Hitmonchan)
Golbat (80 pts)
Hitmonchan (120 pts)
Clefable (100 pts)
Zubat (30 pts)
Diglett (40 pts)
Eevee (25 pts)

Team #2 (Team Charmeleon)
Magnemite (70 pts)
Charmeleon (120 pts)
Sandshrew (50 pts)
Geodude (60 pts)
Clefairy (80 pts)
Caterpie (10 pts)


Battle Results
This battle was a lot closer. Team Hitmonchan won with Diglett (1/3 life left) and Eevee left.

Golbat and Confuse Ray tipped the scales--Charmeleon got confused and rolled really badly to try to remove the Confusion. Golbat was able to attack from height almost every time against Charmeleon (as Charmeleon ran confused back and forth between two hills). With a 5 attack (4+ height), Golbat was able to take out Charmeleon. I'm thinking Golbat should be around 100 points. Or I might lower his Attack to 3 since his main strength is Confuse Ray.

In the end, it was Geodude and Caterpie versus Diglett and Eevee. Unfortunately (for Team Charmeleon), Geodude is weak against Ground-type moves, so Diglett was able to take it out with Dig. Squirtle might have done better in that situation.

Overall, this was much more competitive and a lot of fun to play.


One note: Hitmonchan's Comet Punch should say that Hitmonchan does not take leaving engagement attacks when using Comet Punch.
Nevermind. This is unnecessary, since Hitmonchan cannot attack a non-adjacent figure if it is engaged with an enemy figure.
 
Pokemon Versus Official Units Battle #1:
Team Hydra versus Team Charmeleon

After testing Pokemon against Pokemon, I realized that I was having a hard time trying to decide which Pokemon were priced correctly. So I decided to test the Pokemon against official non-bonding heroes.

The battle was played on my custom battlefield:

Knight's Canyon Road

Team #1 (Team Charmeleon)
Magnemite (70 pts)
Charmeleon (120 pts)
Sandshrew (50 pts)
Geodude (60 pts)
Clefairy (80 pts)
Caterpie (10 pts)

Team #2 (Team Hydra)
Fen Hydra (120 pts)
Raelin (RotV) (80 pts)
Earth Elemental (35 pts)
Dumatef Guard (25 pts)
Fire Elemental (35 pts)
Iron Golem (100 pts)

Battle Results
Spoiler Alert!

Team Charmeleon wins with only Caterpie left.

Summary
Overall, this was an incredibly fun and close battle. There were several critical dice rolls where one skull or shield would have completely changed the tide of the battle. If the Fen Hydra had destroyed Charmeleon, it would have torn up the rest of Team Charmeleon. If Sand Attack had failed one more time, the Iron Golem would probably have finished off Team Charmeleon.

All of the Pokemon seemed pretty balanced, but I expected this since Charmeleon, Magnemite, and Sandshrew have all be through playtesting. Geodude is the one Pokemon I think might be overpriced, but going against the Iron Golem was a poor matchup. (So it really didn't tell me anything.)

The best part? Seeing Caterpie take out the Earth Elemental and win the game!
 
I recommend changing the roll chance of confusion to 1-10, both for the sake of balance and to be consistent with Pokemon games (a pokemon has a 50% chance to hurt itself when confused in the video games). A roll of 1-12 just seems too much to me for your unit to lose an entire turn AND for your opponent to be able to move it. Now, if 11-20 took off confusion, that would make it far too useless. So, I recommend a roll of 18-20 or 17-20 to remove the confusion marker. Finally, in order to be even more consistent with the games (though this may not be the best idea, in terms of balance), is the removal of the confusion status when you recall the affected pokemon. Whew, that was quite a bit. I think that these ideas would definitely help to balance confusion though.

EDIT- You also might want to find a different picture for Metapod. The one that you have looks like it was made in MS paint lol. Sorry if I sound too demanding XD
