Converting Pokemon

Beast Dream was made with Pokemon in mind. To play Pokemon in Beast Dream, all you have to do is figure out an appropriate tier conversion level for each Pokemon. My conversion method of choice is to use the base stat total to determine what tier a Pokemon is. If you’re looking at Bulbapedia, the number labeled “Total” is what you’re looking for.

Pokemon with a base stat total of under 350 are Tier 1. Pokemon with a base stat total of 351 to 450 are Tier 2. Pokemon with a base stat total of 451 to 550 are Tier 3. Pokemon with a base stat total of 551 650 are Tier 4, and Pokemon with a base stat total of 651 or higher are Tier 5. This might not be a perfect system, but it’s worked for me so far. If you want a faster way to figure it out, you can roughly come about appropriate tier levels by figuring out what state of evolution a Pokemon is. 1st stage Pokemon are Tier 1, 2nd stage Pokemon are Tier 2, and 3rd stage Pokemon are Tier 3, while single-stage Pokemon are typically Tier 2 and Legendaries are typically Tier 4 or 5.

Pokemon use a Capture Score rather than a Befriend Quality because that's how the world of Pokemon works. To figure out a Pokemon's Capture score, refer to their catch rate: https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_Pok%C3%A9mon_by_catch_rate

Pokemon with a catch rate of 201 or higher have a Capture Score of 2. 170 to 200 have a Capture Score of 3. 120 to 169 have a Capture Score of 4. 80 to 119 have a Capture Score of 5. 20 to 79 have a Capture Score of 6. Anything below 20 has a Critical capture score. If a Pokemon has one tick left in its battle clock, reduce its Capture Score by 1. When you use a Great Ball, roll 2d6 and take the highest rather than 1d6. Ultra balls use 3d6 and take the highest. Only Great and Ultra Balls can crit.
