@Xan the G I'd forgotten to mention this, but your post doesn't indicate the weather and time-of-day described in the first post. Because of this, I've set the response to you in my post the morning before everyone else.
I just wanted to let you know that you're not going to be on the same time-line as the others until it is played through. I'm not requiring you edit your post, I just want to make sure it's understood before I post (which is going to be a few minutes from posting this).
I'm also adding a line suggesting he has an "accent" due to his not being from Hoenn. I just like the idea that they have different dialects (or even languages if people want to develop that aspect of the setting).

I'm totally fine about the weather/time thing. I wasn't sure when or in what weather the rests of the posts were taking place, so I tried not to pick a time that would conflict with anyone else.

The dialect thing was actually something I thought about myself, but I didn't want to assume as I'm not the only person with a character in Hoenn but not FROM Hoenn while also trying to fit in. You'll see I tried to keep Jin's speech as brief as possible, since he's not a world class spy who would instantly know to clone dialects.

@Kymera I took some time to think about that suggesting. I'm kind of wary about adding more stipulations/descriptions/limitations to the list since it's already so intensive. I could rationalize not adding regulations as "common sense among the population of Hoenn." I would also think there would be technologies that would be common as to alert Rangers to individuals in danger. (The Gauntlets are specifically for Trainers)
The other thing is that Hoenn is quite connected to its environment and the general population would probably have a better sense of wilderness survival skills than those from other Regions.
However, if I were to add a restriction to Routes (which I, inherently like the idea of, despite my argument against it) would be # of badges, or something. Like Lv. 4 you need at least 6 badges, Lv. 5 you need at least 12 (I don't believe Lvs. 1-3 would need restrictions).

@Xan the G Well, the previous two posters described afternoon/evening and rain. And I had previously decided that the first poster would determine the time of day/season/weather that the others would have to follow. Regardless, it's not a big deal. If you're unsure in the future, just ask. ^^
But y'all (ever'body) gotta read ever'one's posts, m'kay?! xP

Alright, I've finished the Route Notes to best of my knowledge. Anyone, feel free to let me know if there's anything I missed, needs editing, or needs clarification.

life has been life. i'll get a post up soon. @Prints Avoid you can go ahead and post before me if you have something you wanna write and don't feel like waiting lol. haven's not gonna respond much to diego (unless you'd like her to!)

Fair enough, I don't think they had much time to interact anyway, @c3p-0h I just had a lot of work this week, lol. I'm trying to post sometime tonight

@Prints Avoid@c3p-0h@Xan the G@Kymera@DepressedSoviet
I'm going to be posting either tonight or tomorrow regardless of who's posted or working on a post. I'm just going to move my own post a little bit forward, though. So if you needed more to respond to, then you'll have it ;)
Let me know if you want me to hold off on it, though. ^^

But I'd like it if you (the players) weren't stricty reactionary. Take some charge in your story! I'm just here to throw stuff at you, essentially. ;)

I would appreciate that. Honestly I was having trouble figuring out where to go from the bath. I mean, I could write five paragraphs about Diego taking a bath if you'd like... but I think we'd both rather move things along lol. If nothing else, I'll have Diego bring out his own Azumarill to interact with Joy.

And I still need to think of nicknames for the team...

@Prints Avoid Well, it doesn't have to just be the bath. You can make something up for after it (Joy could bring you to her Pokèmon friends or bring you to a small bedroom, bring you clothes that don't quite fit and you make that a small dilemma, etc.). They're NPCs so I don't really have a strict thing they have to follow. I added to the Briney that I didn't even make up. Like I said, you're free to take some control over NPCs. If I feel like its too much or it goes against what I have planned, I'll PM you. Otherwise, I'll make notes on what NPCs are important to the plot. Right now, it's relatively sandboxy. My next post will have some drama, though. I don't want it to be boring for too long ;P

@Phoenix Come on now! Who doesn't love a bit of drama? :D

@Kymera *looks back at what I wrote*
That's why I'm adding some in my next post. ^^

@c3p-0h How's it going? I just wanted to check in with you. Did you want to see more from me before posting, yourself?

@Prints Avoid So, did you feel comfortable playing the NPCs or would you rather I add a little something for you to piggy-back on?

@Xan the G Haven't heard from you in a while. How's everything going? Did you need some ideas on where to go for your next post?

@DepressedSoviet Haven't heard from you in a while. You okay?

@Kymera Are you still in talks with @DepressedSoviet? Have you heard from them recently? Are you dependent on them to continue posting (not that you need to post again, just asking)?

I'm thinking of either adding to my existing post or writing another one over the course of today. Is there anything anyone's unsure about or has questions on?

Other than that, in the meantime, if you're (everyone) looking for something to do, you can add to our Technological section. It can be something as small as adding an application to the Gauntlet, to adding a piece of technology that non-trainers can use to a completely new piece of technology, either for humans, Pokemon, or the environment, for any profession.
Other than that, add a Landmark! Develop a village in a forest or make a more fleshed-out description of an existing City! Create something that you might interact with in the future. ^^

Nah, I can work with what we got. I just thought you had decided to add more and was waiting for that. I can write up a post tonight

@PhoenixI'm here, and I need to talk with Kymera about some things.

@Prints AvoidI was going to, but this weekend didn't go as planned. If you'd rather post, you can. But I'm going to be writing something up today, anyway.

I apologize to everyone for the lack of communication. I also apologize that I don't have the best grasp as to how to go about this particular format of RPing. I'm teaching myself and learning while doing this. So thank you all for the patience.

@DepressedSovietAlright. :D
Just let me know if you want anything from me. ^^

@Phoenix I can work out a post if I need to, so I'm not dependant on anyone at the moment (though it is more fun with others involved). I have talked with @DepressedSoviet and I think we're gonna work something out.

@Kymera No, you don't need to work on a post. I just need to get my sh!t together. I was just wondering where you were creatively.

@Phoenix Actually, I meant I can work off whatever someone gives me! So don't worry about it too much!

So, I went a little further with my "Power-Playing." Let me know if it went too far. I'm not sure how much everyone's comfortable with in situation where someone else made the NPC. But I'm certainly not against any of you interacting with the character on your own. If you're really concerned, you can always PM me before you post. But if everyone's more comfortable bunnying, then I'll probably continue with this level of "power-playing" simply to keep the plot moving and keeping things interesting.

Any suggestions are always welcome, too. ^^

Eh, I'd say this post was right on the line for me. That is, Diego's part does. I can't speak for the rest I should make clear that normally I wouldn't have been okay with so much power-playing. In this specific instance though, I consider it a detailed time skip. You didn't make any decisions of consequence for Diego. Only part that made me uncomfortable was him assuming his missing clothes were a prank. Not a big thing, but still not quite the reaction he'd have.

The clothes though. He definitely carries more than one set of clothes. Not sure if that was a thing, or they assumed the rest of his clothes were also wet, or we can chalk it up to more of Joy being Joy. Either way the end result is too good not to keep.

Just to be clear, the new guy is knocking on the window of the room Diego is in?
