I am writing this here in hopes that all players will see this and learn from it
3nodding Please make sure to follow the rules regarding catching pokemon.
It is one thing to want to have your character battle a pokemon and not capture it. And it is another thing if your character actually attempts to capture the pokemon.
I say this because your character Elysia's Bronzor fought a Murkrow and she threw a Poke Ball on her second post. This goes against the rules of how to catch a pokemon in the wild. Not to mention that the capture didn't even work which brings us to our next problem.
Poke Balls are not recyclable. If your character throws a Poke Ball and the pokemon breaks free then you have lost that Poke Ball, it does not come back to you. Players are not allowed to purchase Poke Balls either, this means that by saying the pokemon broke out from the Poke Ball you threw, it means you no longer have that Poke Ball and you would have to subtract it from your inventory.
I can see that it was your attempt to have your character save her pokemon by throwing that pokeball, but nonetheless by doing so you have broken the rules of pokemon capture and you wasted your Poke Ball as well.
I will over look this only once. You may keep your Poke Ball this time, but if it happens again then your Poke Ball will be taken away.
Please let this be a lesson for everyone because I do not want to see repeats of this action either. I have not checked the Forest thread to see if a similar occasion has already occurred, but I will be doing so now.
Thank you for understanding
