Here on Pangaea, battling is very physical and fairly realistic. A battle begins when two combatants or more enter a brawl. It ends when one side is admits defeat, is knocked out, or is killed, depending on what the victor is aiming for.
However, for the same of member characters, you may only defeat or knock out their characters unless you are given express permission.
While there are no stats to worry about on this roleplay, levels do matter and each species has a niche. For example, pikachu would be speedier than most other pokemon, with its physical and special attacks following closely. To follow up this concept, a geodude has a very high physical defense and a high physical attack. It would be tough to beat a same-leveled geodude in a contact-brawl in the same manner it would be tough to out-pace the pikachu. Please keep this in mind.
An example battle so you understand what goes on, more or less.
Post 1: Geodude used SOME PHYSICAL ATTACK HERE. The geodude is feeling very good!level: 1 current moves: one, two, three, four ability: x Post 2: The pikachu was hit by the geodude's PHYSICAL ATTACK. The pikachu feels pretty bad, as the geodude is both solid and strong! However, the pikachu is very swift! It flees, as it is very fast!level: 1 current moves: one, two, three, four ability: x

As pokeballs are very rare at this timee. You may attempt to catch a pokemon at any point, but the higher the health and the weaker the pokeball, the less likely you are to catch it. Pokeballs, unless tweaked, do not catch fainted pokemon. They will not catch gijinkas unless tweaked.
As a final note on catching, caught pokemon, unless treated well, will run away if their pokeballs are broken.

Ah, leveling.
The joy and bane of the life of a trainer.
Here on Pangaea, pokemon and gijinkas earn levels. Let's explain how experience is earned, shall we?
The number of posts the battle takes can be interpreted as how long the battle took. That means, the pokemon spent that long learning how to fight by either success or failure. The level of the other pokemon also accounts for how much experience it will yield. Multiply your opponent's level with your post count to get your yield. Losing a battle gets you a quarter of what you would have earned.
Example! It took you five turns to beat a level five rattata. 5 x 5 = 25. You earned twenty-five experience points! If you would have lost, you would have earned 7 points. (We round up, to encourage everyone to try, even if it's not over half.)
For the sake of exp gathering, gijinka count as pokemon.
Now, for levels: 1-5; requires 50 exp to level up. 6-10: requires 100 exp to level up. 11-15: requires 150 exp to level up. 16-20: requires 200 exp to level up. 21-25: requires 300 exp to level up. 26-30: requires 400 exp to level up. 31-40: requires 500 exp to level up. 41-50: requires 1,500 exp to level up. 51-70: requires 2,000 exp to level up. 71-90: requires 3,000 exp to level up. 91-100: requires 5,000 exp to level up.
For our example, let's say a furfrou at level 1 somehow manages to earn 500 exp points. Level one to two requires 50 points, leaving 450. 2 to 3 requires 50, leaving 400. 3 to 4 requires 50, leaving 350. 4 to 5 requires 50, leaving 300. Levels 6 through 9 require 100 each, meaning the furfrou caps off with no left over at level 9. You would write this as Level 9, 0/100.

Ah, evolving! One of the most exciting parts of your journey as a trainer! Here on Pangaea, similarly to how members are given the privilege of being able to keep track of their own experience points, items, and such, they are also--for the most part--allowed to do the evolving themselves as long as they follow the guidelines for such! Since there are so many methods, I'm only going to go over the ones that function differently here.
With High Friendship Anyway, high friendship is understood as 10/10 friendship points. If you catch a pokemon, you start off with 2/10. You gain one friendship point for winning battles against wild pokemon and two friendship points for winning a battle against another trainer or a gijinka.
On that note, gijinkas earn friendship points differently. For every friend they have, they get one friendship point. Friends, for this purpose, must be other characters your gijinka is on good terms with, knows the name of, and is comfortable around for at least two threads.
With a Certain Move This one's really straight-forward again. If the pokemon levels up to learn the move, then they also evolve. If they learn the move through the move tutor or through a technical machine, then they must level up again before they're allowed to evolve.
Via Location/Time Now... this one's difficult! Not only must you level up, you must also be in the right area and possibly in the right area at the right time of day! Sometimes, you even have to be holding a certain item! However, here's a short explanation of where/when is appropriate.
Obviously, day time vs night time evolutions are the easiest to manage. Just set the thread appropriately. For the caves, we're currently waiting on someone to discover some in-character before they're available to the general public. Leafeon and glaceon are season exclusive; leafeon only evolves during the summer and glaceon only evolves during the winter.
Other than that, it's okay to ask questions if you're curious! We'll be glad to clear them up.
Depending on Party This one's tricky, too! However, as there are no PCs in Pangaea yet, your party may contain up to eight pokemon at any given time. The rest must be left in a safe location, which is why it is important to claim a base. At any rate, just make sure you have both of your necessary pokemon in party to evolve. A gijinka who can evolve by this method merely needs to make sure they have have the necessary pokemon in their party, or that they're near a necessary gijinka!
Through Trading At this point in time, trading is not available as electricity doesn't work on the island. Well... captured pokemon cannot be traded in the traditional sense; they're simply given away, even if the giving away is mutual.
