RogueMon

Game Progression

The game mode is meant to be linear. There is FORCED ROUTING.

  • The game is divided into segments, which comprise one or more routes/areas.
  • Unless forced to by story, you must clear a segment in one attempt without healing at a Pokemon Center.
  • You may use the Pokemon Center upon completing any segment.
  • Healing HP, Status, and PP using items is allowed outside of battle.
  • You may leave to use the PC (as long as you have defeated all mandatory trainers), but you may not return to fight the trainers for experience.
  • All items hidden and visible must be picked up before leaving a Segment, or else they are forfeited.
  • Any picked up item must be followed by an immediate decision if required.
  • Wild pokemon may not be fought for experience unless allowed by a Prize.
  • There is NO step farming allowed. This is applicable to moves like “Return”, or Friendship Evolution Pokemon. Also note: step items are disallowed in RogueMon.

Gyms

Section titled “Gyms”

Every trainer must be fought in the gym.

  • The Gym Leader’s ace will always be holding a sensible item.
  • Gym Leader TM must be decided to teach at time of acquisition.
  • Upon Beating the Gym, Immediately Get your TM, Badge Cap Increases, then a random prize choice. You may look at and decide on the prize and the TM in either order, however you must decide on both before you do anything else. Afterwards comes Buy Phase and Cleansing phase.

Buy Phase

Section titled “Buy Phase”

You may exchange your current HP heals for HP heals of EQUAL TO or LESS THAN the healing existing in your bag. This is limited to your game progression in terms of what healing is unlocked for purchase.

  • Max Potions and Full Restores cannot be used in Shop Phase.
  • Current HP total does not apply when exchanging HP heals. i.e. Hyper can always be exchanged for 200.
  • You may exchange your current status heals. Specific status heals (Antidote, Ice Heal, etc.) may be exchanged 1 for 1; you may also exchange any 3 status heals for a Full Heal or vice versa.

Cleansing Phase

Section titled “Cleansing Phase”

You must purge items from all pockets in your game that were found on the ground since the last gym. Unless, you are permitted to keep them via Prize. Any item you have claimed from a prize is owned, and not cleansed.

The following items will never be cleansed:

  • Pokeballs
  • Heals (PP, HP, status)
  • Battle items you have unlocked via Prize
  • Held items you have unlocked via Prize
  • TMs you have unlocked via Prize (However, you will need a seperate prize to Teach the TM).
  • Anything you earned from the Shop phase or Prize.
  • You may keep any found Roguestones (evolves all stone/item evolution pokemon).

Poke Dolls, Smoke Balls, and Fluffy Tails are allowed and can be kept.
