All right, after some early morning / latest evening deliberations with Raven, we have managed to come up with a list of people who will be travelling Kanto in the beginning.

Sybil Goldon


Fary Nitashi


Aeris Mason


Charlie Delacroix


Danny Harrison


Kat McKenzie


Claire Hawk


Gil Chevalier


You have been chosen to take part in the Indigo League challenge. To the unsuccessful candidates, it was a tough cut, but don't be disheartened! First of all, there is a good chance of drop outs. More than half the original starters in Indigo V1 dropped out and weren't there at the end. So keep following and if need be, I'll ask for one of you to fill the gap so to speak (You'll be given the opportunity to level up and catch to get caught up with everyone). If you can't wait though, my co-GM has another Pokemon RP currently in it's Interest Check stage, although I know he's put a lot of work into crafting a brand new world with some new mechanics factoring in the Conquest lineage. You can find it at the link below.

As for the starting trainers, please message me your Skype details so I can add you to the chat and we should be able to get things started later today!

I'm going to have a problem getting in the Skype today. Gonna be on mobile most of today and my battery is almost dead. I'll see how early I can get on tonight.

Now I need to make a Skype...

I'm always on a phone or similar devices, and Skype, as I recall, is blocked on my home's router. Would it be possible for anyone to PM me summaries or quotes from the conversations?

Huh, never heard of that problem with Skype before. Well you can definitely communicate via PMs here. Just in my experience Skype makes it a lot easier to plan larger multi-person posts.

Before Indigo's story gets started, I'd like to take a moment to shamelessly plug the interest check for my own Pokémon RP, Warriors of Sengun. The Sengun region features several new species added to the roster, as well as new 'gameplay' mechanics based on those used in the spinoff game Pokémon Conquest. Also, Neo is co-GMing for it, so it's essentially run by the same people except I'm the one telling the story. =D

(The interest check and main thread were originally posted in Casual, but both got swamped by the speed at which the Casual forums run, so I wrote a better interest check for Advanced in the hope of seeing more people take a look.)

Should I move my character's sheet to the 'Characters' tab now?

If that's all we're using it for, I'd like to recommend TitanPad. It lets multiple people edit a document in real time and each of their edits are color coded so it clears up ant confusion about who's typing up phalluses all over the pad.

I've used this before with roleplay and it's a very nice tool for collab posts

That made me laugh harder than it should've. But wow, never heard of this and it looks like it would be pretty cool to use. Google documents let you do the same thing as well.

Yeah, I prefer titanpad though, because it has the color coordination which is really nice for seeing how much people are contributing.

@Hella CuteWell, the reason we like Skype is because we're on it all the time and if we have a question we can reach the person quickly. We've tried RP groups before and it didn't work nearly as well as Skype.

Nice. Well at the very least it'll definitely help Nightrunner since they can't get on Skype. I created one for Indigo at the link below.

Also, IC post #1 is up! We are underway!

@Alchemist If you're willing to put together a sheet mate, I'm willing to take a look at it and give an answer.

@Alchemist: Okay, where do I begin? Having looked over the sheet, there are several issues present:

- I tend to take issue with characters that don't have, or don't know, one or more of their names. And several others in the role-play agree on that.

- Your starter is level 10, when the template in the first post specifically states starter Pokémon begin at level 5. In addition, several of us take issue with your choice of starter; we tend not to look favourably on those who choose Riolu, as it has the potential to become powerful rather quickly compared to other species.

- The Appearance section. As a whole.
- - Eyes should only ever be a stable colour instead of changing and shifting. Pick one and stick with it.
- - By "Arua" I'm going to assume you mean "Aura", the detection of which is a highly rare ability in the present-day Pokémon setting. Having looked it up, I can count the number of people with this ability on one hand.
- - Describing one's own character as "considered to be extremely attractive" raises a lot of red flags.

- I see several points in the personality with which several of us take issue.
- - She's "shy and untrusting", but you note her as being kind in the Appearance section. This feels like a rather large clash.
- - "patient and caution. but can be passionate and reckless". Which is it?
- - Being "brilliant" in terms of strategy. We aren't looking for full-blown geniuses here. Particularly ones with no explanation of where they learned their knowledge. And apparently wisdom. A sixteen-year-old probably shouldn't be considered "wise" unless they were fast-tracked in a monastery.

- Biography as a whole is on the far too short side, with very few details. A single paragraph just doesn't cut it. Sixteen years is a long time, and there could be plenty of noteworthy events that take place.
- - Professor Elm lives in Johto, not Sinnoh. You may be thinking of Professor Rowan, who lives in Sandgem Town, not Celestic. Unless this character travelled from one region to the other, which isn't mentioned at all.

- I see no proper explanation of where this character learned martial arts. Books can only take you so far in physical activity. If you don't have someone teaching you, you will inevitably end up doing something wrong, which can lead to injuries.

In conclusion, I won't lie: everything about this application gives me the impression that the character wants to be a special snowflake. Neo and I are in agreement that we won't accept this character.

If you want to try again with a different character, my advice is this: don't try to make your character special. Instead, try to make them normal for the setting. "Normal" doesn't mean "uninteresting".

As an additional note, we would appreciate it if future applications were posted in the OOC tab, rather than in the Characters tab.

as for appearance Her eyes are many shades of blue they do not change. My eyes are Hazel, Green And Blue.. so it is possible to have multicolored eyes. I apologize for the misconception.

I Chose riolu to be an aura tamer. Lucario is my favorite and thus I would like to train one the way Riley from Sinnoh does being that he is my older brother and where the Riolu came from. Lyra is unaware of this and so part of her story is figuring that out. that is why it was not in her bio.

You would be surprised what a book can teach. I learned martial arts starting that way! granted I made mistakes but lessons have helped me improve even more. Lessons I could get form the Dojo in Safron I am Sure. :3

If you dislike her personality I will fix that. I don't mind. :)

I can add to her biography too. There are details I left out. This is the first time I have tried a serious RP so I don't know everything but am willing to try. and yes she did travel or was shipped from one place to another. I will explain this when I correct her bio.

I do not want to be special I just want to have a Lucario and be able to train it right...

Your advise is appreciated and I will start on my corrections. But no matter what You ask me to change My riolu must remain Please. I love lucario and would not enjoy this nearly as much with out one. oh, and if you know Rileys last name I will add that to her Character Sheet. That would help a lot. I have looked for it but have had no luck in finding out what his last name is. I am sorry.

Hi. I saw this on the last site a while back but unfortunately couldn't join. Now a friend told me that it was running on this site and urged me to join, so here's my attempt to get in.



If you have any problems just tell me and i'll work on fixing them.
