Roleplayer Guild - Forum Roleplaying Games

There's a lot of pokemon roleplays out there, I know, but I'm gonna try making this one different. I'll also try to learn from experience and not make a failure of a roleplay. Anyway, I'll just post my idea for the story. In this roleplay, humans don't exist and the pokemon are limited to the first 251 (Bulbasaur-Celebi) because this takes place in the Kanto/Johto region.

-----
Plot:
In Kanto, everything was peaceful and the pokemon were prosperous. Times were good. However, in nearby Johto war was raging. Pokemon were dying left and right and peace seemed out of sight. Kanto didn't do anything about it. After all, the happiness of it's own pokemon was the most important thing, and there was no way this could affect them anyway. Sending pokemon over to a foriegn land just to die would be senseless.

But this thinking would soon be regretted. In Johto, a new rule rose out of the many years of war. And this leadership wasn't a nice, calm one like Kanto's. This one seeked power and land beyond that of Johto's borders. This new organization ironically known as Utopia invaded Viridian City only three weeks after the fighting in Johto ended.

After more battles, only a few pieces of land in Kanto are currently free from the wraith of Utopia: Fuschia City and Cerulian City. Cerulian is the current capital of what is left of the Kanto government. After Utopia managed to conquer Pewter City easily, the fearful leaders in Cerulian moved all of the Kanto army into Cerulian, expecting an invasion. Again, this was a mistake that would be regretted.

Utopia expected this and acted accordingly, taking over Vermillion City and moving north into Saffron. Celadon and Lavender were also conquered in a similarly quick fashion. Now the government, trapped in Cerulian, has drafted a huge army in preparation for whatever lies in it's future.

Fuschia City was much more prepared, however. When Viridian was conquered, the citizens there quickly organized a new government and burned the bridges with the old one, literally so by destroying Cycling Road and Route 12, the only ways to get to the city by land. The Seafoam Islands block the way to Fuschia by water, totally isolating the city.

In Johto, the whirpools have allowed Cianwood to be independent all this time. With the Indigo Plateau (home of some of the world's strongest) being conquered just recently, however, the future of these free places is in uncertainty.

Here's the format for the character sheet. I'll be putting down my character as an example.
Character Sheet
Name (do you really need this one explained?):Jack
Species (what pokemon are you? No legendaries, and first-stage pokemon only [if it doesn't evolves, just use that form]. Also remember, only the first 251 are allowed.): Tyrogue
Gender (again, it's easy. But keep in mind that some pokemon are genderless and others can only be one gender): Male
Appearance (for those who feel like having their pokemon look different than the typical look for a pokemon. this also includes "shiny" pokemon, but lets not go overboard with that. Having a roleplay filled with "shinys" will get dull, and make the shinyness redundant.): Wears a black headband given to him by his father.
Age (Another easy one. For the purposes of this roleplay, Pokemon will age in human years, because it's something we all can relate to. Hopefully.): 16
-Personality and history will be revealed in the roleplay. Just because I'm not asking for it, that doesn't mean you shouldn't think about it. Don't just make a character and not think in advance about it. Also, keep in mind that these pokemon will be weak (level 1-5 weak.)

The rules
-Follow the rules of the Casual Roleplay section, which can be found here.
-Romance is allowed, but let's not get carried away. Use common sense, read this for the long version.
-Don't join if you don't plan on staying. Again, it's common sense, but I want to emphasize this. I've seen good roleplays die because of this very point and I see this happen a lot.
-Knowledge of the pokemon series is required, 'cause you'll probably be confused if you don't have it. If you feel like joining and you don't know anything, use Wikipedia. You'll only need to look up the Game Boy games in the Series, Pokemon Red/Blue and Pokemon Gold/Silver.
-Good spelling/grammar is also required, for obvious reasons. People need to be able to read whatever you posted.
-----

As you can probably tell by now, I've put way too much thought into this roleplay and am a huge nerd for doing so. If you want to join, go ahead and post your profile here in the OCC. We'll probably start this thing off in Cerulian City unless anyone has a better idea. Where the story ends up will be ultimately up to the players. If anything is unclear, please let me know. I hope this ends up being successful.

Edit: The IC Thread has been made. Yes, it's a pokemon roleplay (IC)

Someone joined only a few minutes after I made the post. I'm surprised and happy. Glad to see you both. Goldeneyes, you're gonna have to roleplay as an Eevee. If I wasn't clear enough, I apologize, but I did say "first form pokemon only."

And yes Katsu, it's not in beginners. The uninspired posting of begginer roleplays got dull after a while.

Ah. Okay.
Is there any way that I could 'evolve' later on?

Of course. I intend on evolving my character later on, and Katsu can evolve her character later on if she wants. There probably will have to be some kind of timing involved, though. It won't be like "Hey, I'm evolving somehow!"

Okay. Thats cool.
