"It is my great pleasure to welcome you, all of you, to the first semester ever, here at Orre's Gym Leader University. I, headmaster Steven Stone, would like to wish you all the best of luck in the coming months. Each and every one of you right now has equal potential, to be part of a new generation of Gym Leaders. One that truly challenges trainers, as well as providing your own teaching, helping the world of Pokemon battling grow and evolve. You are all here because of exceptional potential, both in battling and the care of your Pokemon, and I will be happy to see each of you reach it."

Steven stepped off the podium after his acceptance speech and went to the back room, letting the faculty members go up and give their spiel. "Damn, I hope these get easier as the years go on. Public speaking is not my forte." And out front in the hall, a mob of hundreds of trainers prepared for the journey to come.


And now, let me welcome you all to my roleplay. As you can tell, this is a Pokemon school setting, but with an overarching plot planned, plenty of potential for battles and character development, as well as a large amount of freedom given to the players.

GLU is a two year program to condense all of Pokemon battling theory as well as caretaking into a single curriculum, designed so that every alumni has potential to become a gym leader of any region. GLU promotes a new style, discouraging type specialization and encouraging each trainer to find their own team that can be a consistent challenge to any trainer that comes knocking on the door. While rivalries between students are permitted, friendship is as well, because Steven knows all to well he does not want the best battling prodigies to be against each other. Should a certain shadowy organization come to corrupt them...

Quick notes

-CS format will be up in an hour and a half or so
-Cipher WILL be the antagonists
-Players will acquire Shadow Pokemon,
-This is a boarding school type setting, for ages 17+
-Players will be allowed to be teachers
-I am looking for a COGM to help with the running
-Extensive Pokemon knowledge is preferred, but not necessary
-Megavolutions will be limited for students, teachers will have access

^^ Glad you're interested. I have the CS up, and I'll be adding details to the interest check over time, the CS format is good for both teachers and students, though I would request that each player at least has a student character, not a hard rule though.

The school has numerous facilities to allow students to acquire more Pokemon, including their own safari zone as well as no cost trips to any region to get anything imaginable. This is in addition to the Shadow Pokemon that will be distributed through the story. (both to player characters and NPCs)

How are you on the "supernatural" elements of the Pokemon setting? Psychics, mediums, aura users, etc.

Also, have you heard of the Pokemon Tabletop series (United & Adventure)? Their trainer class system is fairly interesting and could provide some variation and structure to our characters.

As far as I know the only aura users were the ancient lucario trainer from that one movie, and ash, and I don't like to talk about anything with ash in it.

otherwise sure thing ^^ as long as you don't be OP with it

and @Rune, I'd recommend 3 to start, and require at least one slot for a shadow pokemon eventually.

Cool, cool~
Another thing I should mention, I have unfortunately never played the GC games like XD and such. Is that going to be an issue?

I'm Goddawful at maps for the actual place, but here's a description of the academy grounds



GLU Is located just off the map, in the mountain range to the west. The campus exists in a valley with a natural lake nearby, and the mountains surrounding it have extensive cave systems, with all these and the forest, there is a wide variety of environments around. The Devon corporation has spared no expense making sure that other Pokemon types are accessible near the campus, and there is a designated "safari zone" with an even larger variety of wild pokemon available.

The campus proper has the expected variety of class buildings, dormitories, and faculty buildings. But also a number of facilities dedicated to training. Not only is there a large number of battle fields strewn around the campus, there is a dedicated training gym, move tutors, Pokemon Centers, Markets better stocked than any of the regional department stores (And each student given a hefty budget per semester for said stores) and the virtual gym, where students can construct their own gym challenge and host battles against other students. Not to mention the central arena, where tournaments are going on nearly 24/7...

just a small sidenote, I know everyone's got Hoenn fever since ORAS just came out, but let's not have EVERYBODY be from there.

(my character is though... and 2/3rds of his team are Hoenn native, lol.)

not in the slightest, though depending on the number of CS I could become a little strict on who is and isn't allowed. my cap is 7 players including myself. (subject to change, if I get a good CoGM)
