The year is 2026, 30 years after the unknown champion known as Red swept through Kanto, earned all 8 badges, defeated the Elite Four, and took on Team Rocket single-handed. Kanto is a much nicer place now. Trainers are a more common sight than Red's days. Groups of teenagers can be seen soaking in their new freedom that a training license provides. New pokemon can be found in our great region, thanks to migrations, breeding programs, and some invasions. Team Rocket is officially history--the last sighting in Kanto occurred twenty years ago. Kanto is now a safe, peaceful nation.

Except Team Rocket isn't dead. They're deep underground, hiding, and have yet to be noticed by the media or the police. They rely on secrecy, black market deals, and hiring other organizations to do their dirty work for them. Giovanni still heads the crime syndicate, but he's an old man now. He's looking to end this cowardly secrecy and restore Team Rocket to it's former glory, back when all of Kanto feared them, and even the police couldn't protect the citizens. So, he issues an order; look for possible recruits. Teenage trainers make a good mark, since they're more likely to enjoy causing trouble and not think about the consequences. If they can, recruit gym leaders. If not, replace them.

The order rang out just a week ago. Recruits have already been found--low-level teenagers either bullied or coerced into joining Team Rocket. The police and media have yet to catch word of this. Good. Giovanni wants to make that announcement himself.

In this roleplay, our characters are a medium-large group of teenage trainers who travel together. Some of the characters are the "good guys", regular, every-day trainers who have dreams of making it big and don't want to turn down the path of evil. The other characters are the "bad guys": the soon-to-be Team Rocket recruits. They are also trainers, but for some reason they will decide to join Team Rocket. When that happens, the roleplay quickly becomes sorta like a game of Werewolf, "Who is the Werewolf that keeps killing innocent Villagers?" Except, the TR guys aren't killing people, they're stealing pokemon, breaking into stores, selling suspicious wares on the black market, yada yada, all while pretending to be an innocent trainer who just wants to get all the badges and become Champion or Top Coordinator or Gym Leader or whatever.



Notes on the World:


Notes on Characters:
The limit for characters is two, one good guy and one bad guy. I don't care about the gender ratio, so don't worry about that.

Kinda messed up the formatting there, eh Wormgod?

I'll likely have a cs up sometime tomorrow afternoon after my classes.

Oh lord, I forgot to check that it worked. Oh well, fixed it now.

Will we able to use tm and hm moves?

Oooh, I shoulda thought of that. Okay, TMs can be taught to the pokemon by their trainers or by a special Move Tutor, similar to teaching your dog to "shake hands", or paying someone else to do it, or buying an instruction guide on how to teach a dog to "shake hands."

HM moves are a seeecret. :)

Hey, is it alright if one of my characters is from Kalos? Specifically, the one with the Espurr. Would help explain how she got one.

Sure, immigrants are allowed! :D It's character variation and explains the Espurr!

In that case I doubt you can start with pokemon knowing tm moves right? In that case I only have two more questions .
Since between the generations there are differences as on what level a pokemon learns a move, which generation are we using for the moveset?
And I'm almost sure it will be alright, but can we catch more pokemon over the course of the rp?

@Duthguy: Yes, I'd prefer TM moves to not be already taught, unless the pokemon in question was formerly owned by another trainer who did teach it a TM (a rare situation). Egg moves will also be rare, but it's better our "starter" pokemon know these than a TM.

As a random side note, our trainers can have Kanto starter pokemon.

We are using Gen VI moves, pokemon, types, and abilities. The new Fairy-typed pokemon will be Fairies instead of their former types.

And yes, we can catch new pokemon, evolve some, trade some, etc. :D

@Rune: Accepted!

Whoo~
Hope we can get started once we have some more people~

I've added my second character

Alrighty, here's my second~

Both accepted! Rune, can you move Gray's form to your other form post? That way both of them are available with the link I put in the first post.

Done and done~

we gonna start anytime soon, or are we waiting on some more people?~

We're waiting for more people. We only have three now...

Hrm...do we have any more interest? We don't seem to have generated a whole lot :/

I couple of other people posted in the IC, including a guy who posted after I provided the OOC link. I'll wait a day (24 hours) for someone else to post here.

If no one else does, I'll up the character limit to four--two good and two bad--and we will start.
