Pokerider City

Somehow or other, you have found one of the Master-Belts.

The MasterBelt is a device which, when worn by a human it deems worthy, allows them to use a monster trapped inside of a ball-capsule to power up the human.

All players begin with the following Feature:

HENSHIN! Pokemon Trainer Feature
Static
Target: Yourself
Effect: You may not summon pokemon from pokeballs. Instead, at the beginning of battle, as a free action, you may choose a pokemon you own and transform into a PokeRider form based on that pokemon. Your Pokemon's stats are your stats. Replace your trainer HP with your Pokemon HP. When untransformed you may only use certain trainer and class features. You act on the pokemon's speed initiative. Transformed trainers may have 1 command per round, one trainer action, and one shift action per round. Transformed trainers always act before Untransformed trainers. You may change forms as a trainer action on your trainer turn, or as an action on your Pokemon turn. When Transformed, you have access to any capabilities the pokemon has. If your pokemon HP falls to 0 or below, you automatically untransform, and all damage past the point of 0 is subtracted from your trainer HP. If your pokemon's HP falls below -100%, instead of rolling a check for death, roll the same d100 roll, and if your pokemon fails the check, they do not die. Instead, the essence of the pokemon you draw your suit's power from is exposed, and can be stolen. If a feature costs HP to use, take the HP from your Trainer HP. Any attack launched by an untransformed trainer against a transformed trainer will be Not Very Effective regardless of typing unless the feature says otherwise.

All players begin play with "Hey Guys Watch This" active.

Dual Wielding has been replaced by:

PokeRider W: Trainer Feature
Prerequisites: Level 10, STR 12, CON 12, DEX 12, INT 12, WIS 12, CHA 12
Effect: When you transform, you may choose 2 pokemon you own and apply both of their stat blocks to your Transformed state. When in a double-transformation, you may make two pokemon move actions; once on one pokemon's speed initiative, and the other on the other's speed initiative. Opponents may target whichever half of you they want, however, you may roll 1d20 and add the other pokemon's relevant evasion stat. If you roll higher than 18, the other side takes damage for the side that was targeted. You are still only allotted 1 Trainer Action. You may not use multitasking while using PokeRider W. Name each form combination whatever you like.

Transformed/Untransformed compatibility:

The tabbed features may only be used or have different effects when transformed:

KAIJU BATTLER (aka league battler)
Explanation: Pokemon are one thing, Pokeriders are another. However, there is a third thing. Sometimes a human without a masterbelt will be forced to absorb the essence of a pokemon's type. When this happens, a Kaiju, a half-human abomination which spawns spectral pokemon of its type, is born. The Kaiju Battler is well-versed in these creature's habits, and will be able to battle them effectively.
For all League Battler features, change any mention of an "Official Match" with "Fighting Against a Kaijuu."
All Kaiju Battler features may only be used while Transformed.

Prerequisites: Kaiju Battler, Defeated 8 Kaiju, Level 16

Effect: You have become very well known as a hero of justice. As such, you will be challenged at least once a week by young PokeRiders looking to make a name for themselves. If you lose, the challenger will gain a great deal of renown, although your good name won't suffer too much unless to begin to lose a lot. Because of your fame, you won't be able to go anywhere without the news learning about your position and therefore challenges will always find you. Each week you are paid 9000 PY in royalties for the line of toys and comics based on your image. If you do not accept any challenges during the week, toy sales will drop and you will not be paid. You do not have to win challenges to receive royalties. Add 2 to your CHA stat.
