Re: Pokémon Registration Office
I like this one better. It's approved.
This is a little too powerful for my taste. It gives immunities to some very powerful and commonly-used moves; I'd prefer that it just reduced their effects a bit. For example, maybe it would reduce taunt/torment's duration, or negate the attack increase of swagger. As for totally blocking the attacks, that seems a bit much for a bit of "thick skin."

Re: Pokémon Registration Office
[Purr]Gible(M)
Ability: Sand Veil
Signature Attribute: Aura of Royalty
Even though Purr is a Gible in the League's jurisdiction he is descended from a long line of kings from a faraway region that eventually expanded to massive proportions, which went extinct when his great-great-grandfather, Terral IV the Garchomp, was captured by a human and went to live in captivity. Even then, the name Terral commands a certain amount of respect these days (given the fact that Terral I ruled with a my-word-is-law demeanor), and with the knowledge of this, enemy Pokemon may find it harder to be underhanded with this little captive-bred prince. Due to the aura of command Purr emanates, enemy Dragon-type Pokemon find it hard to hit him for massive damage. Similarly, any human-based move remind him of the captivity that everyone in his family from Terral IV down had to endure, and attacks that physically grab Purr bring back stories his parents told him...
Effects: Moves that involve beguiling, seducing, or otherwise tricking Purr (Attract, Trick, Captivate, Shadow Sneak, etc.) cost 5% more energy and have a 5% chance of failing altogether. Purr cannot be made to dodge or otherwise avoid an attack, and when he uses a sneaky attack, he feels ashamed off himself and the effects (damage, effect %s, whatever) are halved. Purr takes neutral damage from Dragon attacks, but anything directly involving humans (signature moves, any attacks from Porygon, anything from the 'Dex Registry, any attacks that involve the user physically grabbing Purr) do 5% more damage.
That's a lot of effects, I know, so if I need to remove anything I will.

THIS IS HOW WE BLEED
Re: Pokémon Registration Office
Hm. alrighty. Here we go...
[Doomsday] Bidoof (F)
Ability: Simple
Signature Modification: Resistance to Criticism
As a Bidoof, Doomsday is often made fun of and criticized for being what she is. As a result, Doomsday acquired a thick skin, if you will, towards being made fun of. It is nearly impossible to make her angry, and she has an eternally cheerful and optimistic outlook on life.
Effects: Doomsday is always happy and cheerful, no matter what. Whenever she uses Return, it gets a 2% Damage bonus, while Frustration gets a 5% reduction. Taunt and Torment have a 50% chance of not working at all on her, and Swagger doesn't cause an Attack increase. Confusion caused by Flatter has a 75% chance of her hurting herself, however.
is that any better? :3

Of course you should have paid. What's the point of assigning/checking prices if you don't pay? I'm not sure why you copied the first part of the first post, either... it isn't necessary.

Re: Pokémon Registration Office
First, 5% energy increase on beguiling attacks is two much; 2% on that. You could run into trouble because "sneaky" attacks are rather ill-defined. Also, I don't really see the logic on the "directly involving humans" bit. First, 'dex registry species are considered within the gameverse as having been recently discovered, not created by humans. Also, any attacks that involve the user physically grabbing Purr? How is something like counter or seismic toss an attack that directly involves humans?
Approved.
Team approved.

YAY! NEW AVATAR! :D
Re: Pokémon Registration Office
Counter - TM in RBY, then Move Tutor. In a sense, made by humans
Seismic Toss - Move Tutor
Also, they are, arguably (Counter is the main problem, due to Pokemon like Wobbuffet and Wynaut), something along the lines of Martial Arts, which can be considered man made. In fact, many physical fighting-type moves could be considered as man made (Low Kick, High Kick, Triple Kick, Dynamic Punch (TM in GSC, I think), etc.). Also, some normal-type moves (Mega Punch (TM, then Move Tutor) and Mega Kick (Same Thing), for example) could also be considered as man-made. The reason is because People can actually perform actions similar to those moves, and as such, they could have been picked up by Pokemon, who thought of them as useful
I just wanted to point that all out

Re: Pokémon Registration Office
The direct grip attacks were supposed to be separated from the human-based attacks, I probably shouldn't have put it like that. Although the point Icalasari makes about martial arts is kinda true. The thing is, he surrenders himself to grip attacks more easily because of the way Terral IV was wrested into captivity.
Point taken about the 5% cost being too much, reducing to 2%. And point also taken about 'Dex Registry. I define sneaky/beguiling moves as anything that would involve deliberately getting out of Purr's sight before attacking or inflicting a status condition that's not generic (Attract, Seeding, Cursing, etc.), but I think that could vary between refs.
New sig attribute looks something like this:

There. Hopefully that's not as cheap.

Re: Pokémon Registration Office
Currently, you only have "sneak attacks" referred to in what Purr cannot do well, not what he takes offense to when used against him. If you want to penalize all of those, remove the 5% fail chance and reduce the energy increase to 1%, because that's like 50% of all attacks ever.

Re: Pokémon Registration Office
I asked what you meant by "sneaky attacks," referring to this sentence:
However, when you responded, it sounded as though you were talking about what Purr's opponents would be doing:
Which I thought meant you wanted the energy increase and fail chance applied to all sorts of things, like faint attack, obviously attract, and so forth, which I considered too powerful.
