Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })This forum roleplay was created in February 2011 on the Smogon forums by Deck Knight to keep the CAP forum active during the downtime caused during the Generation IV to Generation V transition. The spinoff game eventually became VERY popular and eventually became active enough to be moved to the resident game forum where it lives to this day. Deck Knight maintained the game until his retirement in early 2015, where the game is now maintained by the several moderators who moderate the forum.A typical BBP match involves players sending out at first before making orders. Orders consist of two to three actions (depending on format) which are generally using a move or command and substitutions that allow for alteration of orders in the case of a specific order or outcome happening. Because of the forum nature, players take turns to order so those who order first are inherently at a disadvantage when the second order player can take full advantage of whatever the first order player does. After orders are made, the referee of the match will interpret both player's orders and then calculate the results of the round before posting it. Then the battlers point out errors the referee made generally for their benefit. This repeats until a winner is found.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })BBP is a lot different to other Pokémon forum-based simulators in that it is far less flavor-driven and more mechanics-driven and dictated by numbers and objectivity. | |

Lethal Joke Character | |
Pokemon Battle-By-Post (Roleplay) / int_36249acd | comment |
Lethal Joke Character: Delibird, given its status as a Joke Character in-game. Due to the Vital Spirit/Insomnia interaction, Delibird had an innate +1 Accuracy and Evasion. This turned hitting Delibird into a Luck-Based Mission while the plucky bird could pepper its opposition with Blizzards and Hustle-boosted attacks without any worries. With an Everstone, Delibird became an even deadlier threat and was even used to beat a gym once! Delibird was since nerfed to have a +1 Attack, Defense and Sp. Defense rank instead of a +1 Evasion boost and it is still a legitimate threat. Smeargle also counts as well. While it has terrible base stats, its ability to learn every move in the game makes it an absolute nightmare to play against when properly trained. Have fun ordering against something with well over 600 moves at its disposal. | |

Movepool is also this because more moves equates to more options equates to more ways to screw the opponent over. It is also why a Smeargle is a legitimate threat when properly trained and why Wobbuffet is largely considered one of the worst fully evolved Pokémon in BBP. | |

Useless Useful Spell | |
Pokemon Battle-By-Post (Roleplay) / int_4c709317 | comment |
Useless Useful Spell: Stat Manipulation (excluding damaging boosters), because they generally do not make up for the lost action using them most of the time. Add to that a mechanic that makes boosts/drops decay and there is even less worth using them. Swords Dance for example is +4 DMG for Physical Attacks. There are however, some Pokémon that can take advantage of stat manipulation: Swoobat can take advantage of Simple Calm Mind to have access to a 26 BAP Stored Power after three actions, allowing it to nuke anything in sight. Anything with Stored Power and a move like Calm Mind or Work Up can also do this with a Macho Brace on. Volbeat can equip a Power Lens and then use Tail Glow to have access to a priority +6 Sp. Attack boosting move. It can then use the boost to either wreak havoc on the opponent or even pass it to a team mate... Anything with Tail Glow can do this as well. Speed boosting moves are not bad either, albeit niche. An Agility allowing you to outspeed your opponent when combined with moves like Bounce and Dig can really play havoc with the opponent when they least expect it. | |

Nintendo Hard: Invoked, according to Word of God. Later played with: it was noticed that only a half-dozen people, at best, had obtained available Legendary Pokémon, and they were all of Phione, Regirock, Registeel, or Regice. A change in the capture system, combined with simplifying several of the Legend Runs, has made it easier for trainers to get the legends, though it is still no means a pushover. | |

Adaptational Badass: Several Pokémon that suffer in competitive battles are found to be very powerful with CAP BBP’s mechanics. Aggron is a prime example: held back in normal competitive battles because its slowness tends to let it get One-Hit KOed before pulling off a Rock Head Head Smash, in bbp, Aggron gains the benefit of Sturdy along with Head Smash and it is much harder to One-Hit KO any Pokémon. | |

Joke Character | |
Pokemon Battle-By-Post (Roleplay) / int_8f1ec2c5 | comment |
Delibird, given its status as a Joke Character in-game. Due to the Vital Spirit/Insomnia interaction, Delibird had an innate +1 Accuracy and Evasion. This turned hitting Delibird into a Luck-Based Mission while the plucky bird could pepper its opposition with Blizzards and Hustle-boosted attacks without any worries. With an Everstone, Delibird became an even deadlier threat and was even used to beat a gym once! Delibird was since nerfed to have a +1 Attack, Defense and Sp. Defense rank instead of a +1 Evasion boost and it is still a legitimate threat. | |

Luck-Based Mission: Winning in the Legend Run was formerly this due to captures being based on referee-controlled RNG. This capture system was replaced in the new generation with a HP-based capture system where capture occurs when the player reduces a Pokémon's Capture HP to zero. | |

One-Hit Kill | |
Pokemon Battle-By-Post (Roleplay) / int_a414c3f0 | comment |
One-Hit Kill: Averted, for the most part. It is very hard to perform a move that one-shots a Pokémon in one hit in BBP. Furthermore, the One-Hit Kill moves in the games have been converted to simply high-powered attacks with shakier accuracy than Zap Cannon and friends, and No Guard does not work with such moves. If you are facing a Pokémon with a 4x weakness to Ground or Ice and manage to guarantee the hit, this trope could be played straight. For example, a Sheer Cold and Blizzard Combination under Hail will likely one-shot anything 4× weak to Ice, especially if Helping Hand is involved. The only other time this trope will usually play straight is when a player takes advantage of their opponent's Attack! Attack! Attack! strategy to use a move such as Bide, turning their offensive into a powerful retaliation that one-shots them. | |

Shielded Core Boss | |
Pokemon Battle-By-Post (Roleplay) / int_aa42f179 | comment |
Shielded Core Boss: Zapdos, Raikou, Kyogre, and Shaymin all have shields that are active at the start or thrown up mid-battle. Zapdos and Shaymin constantly summon lackeys while their shields are up but when gone, start using more dangerous attacks. Kyogre's Shield constantly regenerates its health until broken with one of the many Icicle Spines given to you. While this does a lot of damage, it triggers a powerful attack that drains loads of energy which may result in a Total Party Kill if the raid is reckless with their energy. At least the surviving members get their energy back eventually. Raikou when throwing up its shield forces you to disperse it AND attack it in a round to avoid it blowing the raid to bits in a single blow. At least you have a ball that while has been damaging you, can be thrown to almost decapitate the shield in one hit. | |

The Suicune encounter periodically drains life from all Pokémon to heal itself. However, if the Pokémon have the Liquid Ooze ability or are tainted with a debuff used by one of the Add's summoned by the boss, the massive amounts of recovery that Suicune would get ends up turning into Suicune losing a massive amount of health in one attack. | |

"Hey, that's my line!" - If someone typed ... pff or ... sss before it could. "I give x a y out of 10 right now." - When asked to rate something through the !rate command. "Yo x, y wants you in #channel so get on over there!" - When asking someone to get over to a specific channel. "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! The bomb explodes in <user>'s face. ^_^" - When Onion Bubs' bomb detonates on someone in its !bombgame. S 0 L 1 D G 0 LD's catchphrases: "!recap" - Due to his bad connection he will use this bot command to find out what he missed while he was disconnected. "Anyone flash?" - Always looking for a fight when he comes on IRC. "DC Check" - Justified since he suffers from a bad internet connection. | |

Pokemon Battle-By-Post (Roleplay) / int_b58b4e3c | comment |
Too Dumb to Live: Maxim had one of these when participating in an explorative RP with fellow users akela and Rainman Legends. There was a branch just sitting there waiting to be taken and surrounding bushes. The three had been alerted to by akela's Pinsir that there was a slight stir in the bushes indicating an obvious trap. Surely you should disarm the trap first? Instead, Maxim went in and took the branch anyway, springing a trap that made running away next to impossible and got the whole team eventually killed as a result. At least he had the decency to forfeit before it actually happened. | |

One Stat to Rule Them All | |
Pokemon Battle-By-Post (Roleplay) / int_b798d379 | comment |
One Stat to Rule Them All: HP, simply because it helps the Pokémon win more damage races by virtue of being able to take more hits. At least most of the Pokémon with high HP are balanced out with generally mediocre stats elsewhere. Movepool is also this because more moves equates to more options equates to more ways to screw the opponent over. It is also why a Smeargle is a legitimate threat when properly trained and why Wobbuffet is largely considered one of the worst fully evolved Pokémon in BBP. | |

Berserk Button: For Texas Cloverleaf, the ability Rivalry was this in the past. Most users who challenged his gym deliberately brought Female Pokémon to take advantage of his Male Haxorus. Then someone brought a Nidoking to his Gym which has Rivalry. And it made the difference resulting in a KO to one of his Pokémon before it could use a Combination Attack. Texas' reaction? He raged and then hotfixed Rivalry to have no effect because it is a "fucking bullshit ability". This was later changed to just making the ability have no debuff. | |

Difficulty Spike: In any given TLR, the Guardian encounter will generally be this, generally because it is the first time that the player orders first Round One. This paves the way for the Guardians to then smack the player into the next century with a powerful Combination Attack. Such was this a bad thing that combination timers were introduced to stop this from happening in higher difficulty TLR's. | |

Tactical Suicide Boss | |
Pokemon Battle-By-Post (Roleplay) / int_d6dee153 | comment |
Tactical Suicide Boss: Some bosses in the BBP Raid Zone rely on you taking advantage of certain effects induced by the boss in order to defeat them. A couple of examples are below: The Suicune encounter periodically drains life from all Pokémon to heal itself. However, if the Pokémon have the Liquid Ooze ability or are tainted with a debuff used by one of the Add's summoned by the boss, the massive amounts of recovery that Suicune would get ends up turning into Suicune losing a massive amount of health in one attack. The Pyroak encounter sees a Slugma spawn every now and then. When these Pokémon find themselves on low enough health, they blow up, damaging all Pokémon and causing them to take increased damage for a short time. Even Pyroak itself is not immune, giving players a chance to hurt it significantly while it is weakened by the explosion. | |

Time-Limit Boss: Many bosses since the first expansion have a time limit to win before they either go beserk, wiping your party in a matter of actions, or something happens and you lose. Central Processing is the only raid so far with a true time limit with the team required to win in fifteen rounds before the place blows up. While this isn't much of an issue if you just want to win the raid, this will come into play if the players go for the "battery run", requiring them to beat more enemies in order to win. | |

Combination Attack | |
Pokemon Battle-By-Post (Roleplay) / int_e69e12b2 | comment |
Combination Attack: The combination system in BBP. Instead of two Pokémon using different attacks to make a more powerful single attack, it is one Pokémon combining two moves to make a new move, either a more powerful version of a single move (same move combinations) or combining two different moves for a different effect. However, this usually lowers the move's priority and leaves the Pokémon a sitting duck the next action, not to mention it usually eats up a LOT of energy. | |

Extrinsic Go-First Rule: Generally either through a coinflip or some preset criteria.

Running Gag: Many people have difficulties tagging S0L1D G0LD, so they usually do not bother tagging him properly. akela once typed Solid Fuck You instead of tagging him. | |

Non-Indicative Difficulty: Many people claimed that it was easier to do a raid in Hard Mode than Normal Mode because it was much easier to teambuild with eight Pokémon instead of four (mainly, a dedicated cleric or two can be run and not be deadweight) and the fights being not that hard relative to normal. Of course zarator was not exactly happy and this has been averted as a result from Hour of Twilight onwards. | |

Attack! Attack! Attack! | |

The only other time this trope will usually play straight is when a player takes advantage of their opponent's Attack! Attack! Attack! strategy to use a move such as Bide, turning their offensive into a powerful retaliation that one-shots them. | |
