I Ran a Pokémon D&D Campaign

[@Vulpixie]

If you want the full uncut version of this Pokemon D&D oneshots, along with a few others I have done, be sure to check out the link in the description to my VODS channel! (And subscribe while you’re over there hehe)

[@Blaze-the-snake]

If you play this in the future, I recommend playing a system called “Pokemanz”, it’s a really good system designed specifically for running Pokémon tabletop games, my group had a lot of fun playing our campaign. Also the book is extremely charming, and the rules are pretty simple to follow as well

[@grimms1916]

Vulpixie having to say "no one dies here, cause its pokemon" while a skorupi is catching aflame after being stabbed through the side with a sword made of fire has the same vibe as "kiryu has never killed a man"

[@dextertek9536]

I thought it was "Kiryu has never _murdered_ a man" or something in the same vein. Because there are some things Kiryu has done, including in Heat Actions, that would _absolutely_ kill people. It's just not murder because it's self-defense.

[@grimms1916]

@dextertek9536 Thats the joke. Thats the entire joke. A major plot point in several of the yakuza is that kiryu has never taken a life, despite the fact that most of his heat actions absolutely would

[@dextertek9536]

@@grimms1916 Yeah, you right. Kiryu wouldn't kill. _Joryu_ on the other hand...

[@donovanfaust3227]

I have been working on a fan region specifically for the purposes of running a Pokemon DnD campaign with my friends! I am so excited to see how you dealt with the VERY COMPLICATED mechanics of Pokemon in a way that doesn't make your brain explode because... I sure haven't found one yet.

[@ASquared544]

I'd really recommend a non-D&D system like Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Tabletop Adventures, or if you're interested in something notably more complex, the Pokerole Project. They're built from the ground up to be ran as Pokemon Campaigns for Pokemon Campaigns, and the former simplifies a lot of the mechanics without sacrificing the flavor, so you can have a much easier time both playing *and* running those types of campaigns!

[@Blaze-the-snake]

I recommend the system called “pokemanz”, it’s more based on the mechanics of the anime, which works far better for tabletop games because it encourages creativity over hard rules and mechanics

[@richi202]

Or you could just be an idiot like me and Homebrew everything from the ground up

[@raymondsizemore3820]

Push lift or drag is rated at 30x strength score. It's kind of silly how easy it is to move 240 pounds with any character with preset stat distribution, because the lowest in that build is a 9.

a pokemon dnd campaign is something i didnt know i needed this is such a good idea

[@onebear6504]

If you want to watch more like it, just recently a channel called Delicious James made a Pokemon RPG Adventure game video with similar concept. Like animated nuzlocke, this'd be a new age of pokemon content! XD

Theloadingcrew also has a Pokémon ttrpg series, with Davvychappy and JelloApocalypse as guests.

[@mirkwood579]

Failboat playing an Astral Self Monk Wooper so that he could create arms to use Ice Punch with, just as Wooper in the games can is very funny- Anyway, very fun, nice scenario, some of the traps and such reminded me of some of the classic old school D&D dungeons type content.

Hey pixie! Longtime PokeDnD fan here, haven't seen your channel yet but know you from places like wildcard. Wanted to say I remember seeing these campaigns live and I loved it! These two games meld together incredibly well, and I always love seeing the stories people tell when they combine, really hope you plan on doing something simmilar to this someday!

[@obelisk-x9n]

The cross-over we never knew we needed :D

[@Nick_Ryuson]

People already knew they needed it and made it happen, a good one i recommend is boarding party's pokemon D&D

[@bcf789]

Oh my god this campaign was sooooo good, honestly its been the closest I've ever gotten to being sold on D&D. So if I ever do decide to get into it, this will be the biggest reason why.

[@ASquared544]

If you ever plan on doing something specifically Pokemon related with TTRPGs, I'd recommend starting on something simpler before moving to D&D, as D&D requires a lot of homebrew to be Pokemon Compatible. Something like Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Tabletop Adventures is much simpler, while something like the Pokerole Project... I wouldn't call it simple but it is certainly easier to play than D&D. Have fun!

[@bcf789]

@@ASquared544 ooooo thanks for the recommendations! I'll keep these in mind if I ever decide to try out TTRPGs.

[@unstopable8000]

Oh nice, I watched Failboat's stream of this a while ago! It'll be nice to watch the edited version! Hope you do more of these, I love Pokemon DnD things!

[@aeb8o871]

I'm overjoyed to watch how you guys were able to combine two of my beloved interests! Pokemon, and the amazing mystery dungeon at that, with DnD! Amazing! Very fun puzzels as well! I feel so inspired by this!❤

[@TheShockinator1000]

i'm terrible at D&D but what i believed to happen with the flygon was if it was a super optional boss battle, it would stagger looking defeated, then out of no where phase 2 happens where it is granted the ability to mega evolve getting a boost in power as a sign of desperation (if mega flygon actually existed) but still the rp done in this story was on point, some funny moments but still somewhat interesting to listen to.

[@vironx22]

Yeah you definitely are a good GM. Thank you for this.

[@FSoJG28597]

50:00 all the randomness after the Espeon voices are unintentionally so funny! If only Mega flygon existed for that final battle though.

[@mimisezlol]

This is so fun! And making it a mystery dungeon based campaign was so smart seeing as how being trainers would make everyone a weird multiclassed beast master type deal which would be an absolute _Pain_. Unrelated: the sumeru desert music makes me sad about what happened way back when.

[@Nick_Ryuson]

Being trainers is absolutely not what you imagine, it has been done well before you don't need to strictly follow the D&D rules and such. I recommend checking out boarding party's pokemon d&d campaign

[@Mistress_Citrus]

If Fyrus was this Cautious in Nuzlockes he'd be as good as Jan lmao

I have a long running Pokemon DnD campaign using the PTU system (basically a DnD system for pokemon). We also looked into making a mystery dungeon style campaign sometime using the same system (but scrapping the trainers). Interesting to see others do the same.

[@ASquared544]

Hey, if you plan on doing something else like this again, I highly recommend using a system like PokeRole or Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Tabletop Adventures, they're much better at emulating Pokemon Mystery Dungeon and the latter maintains a faster and looser playstyle than D&D that will gel better with an improvised live play. The former meanwhile helps go more in depth into the fact you're a Pokemon and gives more tools to support that. Help keep things less mechanically crunchy, which allows comedy and improv to flow more freely, and their mechanics are actually Pokemon and will therefore allow you all to better do Pokemon things in the campaign. D&D isn't a monolith, and it's nice to support indie TTRPG creators. Especially when those creations are better suited for achieving your vision. It may seem like more work, but it's like learning a language: once you've done it once, each time after only gets easier. Plus most TTRPGs are easier to learn than D&D, and D&D is actually one of the most complex ones out there. It's built on a long history of precedent that has not only shoehorned it into a very specific genre, but has also made it so a lot of legacy rules end up being vague or confounding and confusing.

[@mslabo102s2]

Yeah, that was a gripe I kinda had when I first saw it on Failboat's VOD channel.

[@GibbousTT]

5e's corporate mission statement is to make itself a monolith, I hate it with a passion. I hope other people hoping to run similar games look into the systems you've recommended.
