I am going to say this now though I grew up watching Pokemon my knowledge only exceeds to knowing and understanding a few things like names of certain moves, Pokemon Types, habits of certain Pokemon and travel etc. Though I love Pokemon and most likely I always will I am not a completely in-depth fan. Meaning I am a fan of the cuteness and the adventures rather than needing to know every single detail. That is why I love the internet lol if I need to know something I can just look it up!
This role play will be based around Pokemon X and Y. For I own only Pokemon X game and it's the only version I am familiar with at the moment. But we will eventually travel to other regions as well. But for now we will be stuck in Kalos. The plot doesn't have to match to what is going on within the game and/or the show. We can give it our own little flare but I would like some things to be similar in some areas. In which I will list those later on.
Any how this interest check is a sign up page more or less. A lot of the information posted here is either pulled from the wiki or I came up with it myself. Questions can be asked here or feel free to message me. I will then respond back as humanly possible. And Please read everything thoroughly! Just a heads up I might have repeated a lot of things, not by mistake but to get my point across. Enjoy!
Further More....
- Please be able to reply within a 4 day period!
- This RP will either be a small group (3-4) or a 1x1 RP. Depending how many people take interest and/or if people meet up to my exceptions. No hard feelings!
- I don't mind images being used as references for your character, pokemon, attacks etc, just don't abuse the usage of images, a few at a time is fine but all the time... is pushing it.
- This thread will be open for discussions regarding the RP. So if anyone has ideas or questions he or she can post them here. This way it doesn't disrupt the flow the actual RP.
- A lot of my rules apply to the rules here about power playing. Don't do it. Or your out!
- Be creative. Have fun. And hope to see you around!
I know everyone has their own of writing style, and are at different levels. Though I love to write I make mistakes often, with a lot of practice and rereading most of my work and asking advise I have gotten pass some of my own flaws. But yet I still have a hard time in some areas. So, if you see a fellow member struggling (including me) please let them know in a kindly manner. No one likes a show off or someone who has a hard time not coming across rude.
Here are somethings I am expecting to see...
- Three or more paragraphs must be written. No two to three sentences then calling it good.
- Give enough detail so fellow members to go off of.
- We will writing in third person (him/her, he/she, them, they). It will give the RP an nice flow if everyone writes in the same form.
- Please follow along with the plot!! No going off doing your own story if it doesn't go with what everyone else is doing or has been planned.
- Use spell check.
- And have fun with it!
Sorry I couldn't find a better map, but at least this one shows the towns and routes and other important parts to help us to get around. Everything else should come naturally from memory or researching.

Gym Leaders are hard to beat. The reason is: it's because they know what they are doing!! And they specialize in certain types of Pokemon. Which is also the reason why defeating them isn't easy. Takes a lot of practice, patience and planning out strategies to best them in a battle of wits. We won't be facing gym leaders right away. And when we do our Pokemon might be up for the task!
The elites on the other hand are the best of the best!! Only those who have surpassed all gym leaders within the region may face the elites. The gym leaders even have a hard time going up against the elites. Most of the time those who face the elites walk away in defeat. Especially since have to face them all in a row.
List of gym leaders and the elites and their Pokemon!
Practice, practice, and even more practice. It takes a few times to loose a battle in order to win one. Some people are good at it and others are not. It all depends on how well you train your Pokemon. And how strong the bond is between you and your partner. Some Pokemon will fight for you till the end, others may ignore you, and some might try and run away. All and all what I am trying to say is try your best, work hard but also don't forget to have some fun in between.
Winnings and losings vary since it pretty much a bet between trainers. The loser pays the winner basically. Sometimes a trade bet can happen if money runs short. And sorry for this but we are going to use the $ symbol to replace the pokedallor symbol for the RP since I couldn't find one to use...
Also, I will allow battles between RP members. But! There is catch. You can not demand a battle, or force your fellow members into a battle. They have to be willing by having your character ask if he or she would like to battle you or you egg them on until they battle against you! As to figuring out who wins and who looses is all up to the two who are battling it out. I don't want it to be turned into a debate why either of you should be the winners...! Either I will end it in a tie if you can't decided or I will magically make a meteor appear and wipe you and your Pokemon off the face of this RP!! I mean it. No arguing! Be fair and choose to be on the loosing side if the battle between you and whoever is dragging it out too long.
Pokemon items are useful tools to either help you train your Pokemon, give it immediate medical treatment, food, and so on. There are even items that are just meant for the trainers. A bike to get around, a Pokemon detector, item detector, and a pokedex! Also, anything can happen while one is out exploring. Some items are helpful to the user when he or she is need of a quick escape and/or rescue attempts.
A list of items that are available to use!
TM's available in Pokemon X and Y!
We are of course!! We knew our days were going to be filled with adventure and life long lastly experiences we never in our dreams thought about getting in the way of Team Flare and their plans. Or any other organizations seeking and attempting to accomplish their messed up goals and ideals. So let's venture onward and try our best to surpass the evil doers! And let's try not to die in the process....
There are others who try their best to provide protection to both people and Pokemon within Kalos. Such as:
- Pokemon Rangers
- The staff at the Pokemon Center
- The Police
- Other Pokemon Trainers
- Vigilantes
- And many more!
Team Flare
The Leader of Team Flare We never expected him to be the leader of Team Flare, we met him a few times thinking that there is something amiss about him.
The Underlings/Grunts of Team Flare We'll be seeing them a lot throughout the RP.
Since a lot of the Pokemon are able to travel great distances, or trainers bringing their Pokemon with them to other regions I decided to include all Pokemon within this RP. And yet we will be focusing mostly on the ones found within Kalos. But I open for any other Pokemon to found, fought against and/or caught.
Pokemon Within Kalos
All the Pokemon!
Wild Pokemon are no any different than wild animals. They are elusive, territoral, shy, fearful of humans or machinery, or they can be rather friendly depending on the Pokemon breed. Sometimes you will end up walking nearly an hour without spotting a single Pokemon. Sometimes you are surrounded by them. Pokemon living in and around cities, towns, villages tend to have no fear towards humans unlike the ones living within the wilderness.
Many Pokemon live in specific areas and regions. Some travel region to region and aren't commonly seen or from that area. Some Pokemon are more commonly spotted in several areas do to being able to tolerate the many types of climates/weather. It all depends on the Pokemon's breed and lifestyle or even their own personal choice where they are going to be located it at. It is up to you if you are willing to serach them out or not.
Capturing Pokemon may seem easy, but in reality it isn't so. There's a 50% chance you may succeed. The other 50% you will fail. It is easier to weaken the Pokemon by battling it with one of the Pokemons from your team. Usually paralyzing it, putting it to sleep, freezing it are some of your options to weaken the Pokemon. And is the easy method and is commonly practiced since capture success rate goes up. Throwing a pokeball at it upon first sight in hopes of capture without tiring it out or using any of the methods listed is a rookie mistake. On rare occasions does that attempt ever works. Another way is to gain the Pokemon's trust, often times soon the Pokemon befriends you through building it's trust it will allow you capture it without the need to battle it. This method times and patience.
Sadly there are those who prefer not to use the safe capturing methods. Certain group will use illegal means to capture Pokemon in order to sell them or to use their abilities for their own benefits. Majority of the times the Pokemon is injured or killed in the process. Often times these people will resort in stealing/kidnapping Pokemon from their owners. There have been times when the Pokemon is safely returned and other times they never to seen again.
When Capturing Pokemon throughout the RP....
- Capture rate is low. I don't want to see anyone being able to capture three Pokemon within a single reply!
- We can capture Pokemon but only once in a long while give or take several replies later...much later...
- Our starters should come first! They need to gain experience and moves to help us later capture Pokemon.
- No legendary Pokemon, shiny Pokemon shall be captured. They can be spotted for only a brief second but no capturing.
- Soon you do capture a Pokemon PM their facts so I can add them to your team or to your box!
I don't mind Pokemon trades but they can't happen a whole lot. Once in every so long while it is fine. Trading with non-members is fine by me but it shouldn't happen very often. Only because I would have to go through everyone's profiles and switch Pokemon around. And that takes a bit of time there is a lot of text that needs to be search through... If you are wanting to trade Pokemon for a Pokemon with another member they have to give the okay before hand. You can either PM them asking rather than push the issue within the RP. Soon the two of you figure out if it is a go please let me know which Pokemons need to be switched and I will take care of it. Prior to the reply to the RP involving the trade happening between members. I hope this makes any since, if not feel free to ask questions regarding trades here or PM me.
Pokemon Eggs are fairly easy to find and easy to look after. Though it isn't recommended to take an egg from a nest unless you suspect that it had been abandoned or something happened to it's parents. Sometimes Pokemon eggs can be won in an auction, prize to a game or given away for free! And on some occasions when you put two of the same Pokemon species together within the Pokemon Daycare and you come back for them after a few days all a sudden you have an egg to look after as well. Unless you choose to give it up. There are also farms that look after abandoned/orphaned Pokemon eggs. And often times they purposely breed Pokemon to get those eggs to sell, which is totally legal. Looking after the egg is a delicate situation but soon it hatches looking after a baby Pokemon is a hard task. And they tend to imprint on the first person or Pokemon they see.
I don't us receiving, buying or rescuing a Pokemon egg within the RP. But let's try not making it habit of it. I will then add (Mysterious Pokemon Egg) under your Accessories location within your profile. Since it hasn't hatched yet and you have to carry it around. And just a reminder each Pokemon egg has it's own design on it for that particular Pokemon. But our characters might just find it to be a pretty egg and noting more is known about it.
As soon as someone chooses one of the starters I will putting a strike through the name!! This way everyone knows that Pokemon has been claimed. Lastly I don't want everyone to end up with the same Pokemon. And I am sorry if someone claims the starter you want to have/use. First come, first serve. Also, there will be other chances to have your favorite starter in the next time around.This might not the only Pokemon RP I will be doing. I also know it is hard to make the right choice, eventually you can capture and/or trade for one of the starters you would like to have later down the road. But please first pick one. I had a hard time choosing as well for I do have assortment of starters (mostly fire types) that I wanted to pick but had to settle for one. Sorry for those who wanted Torchic!!
The Green Team
The Red Team
The Blue Team
Other Starters
Yes! We will be having some Pokemon who are able to mega evolve, mega evolve! Mega evolution is where a Pokemon is able to take on a new form. But only a certain few are able to do this do to a certain stone that somehow is connected to their DNA make-up which allows them to evolve another step further during battle. No one knows how or why this is possible but no is complaining. For it is totally awesome and everyone enjoys seeing all the different mega evolve forms!
All Mega Evolved Pokemon
Lastly, everyone may have up to one Pokemon who can mega evolve! Just one!... So choose wisely. (Pssst, this is why I choose Torchic as my starter. Score!)
Please fill everything out!! One character per member. Images can be used to describe your character or items that he or she maybe carrying etc. Each one of our characters will be starting out with a starter Pokemon. So please fill the first team slot with your starter only! Other Pokemon can be added in later on when they are eventually captured. All information will be posted/updated on the main RP thread so if you capture a Pokemon and would like it be part of your team PM me with all it's information.
If you want the Pokemon to be added to your box please do the same thing but mention in your reply that you would it to be added into your Pokemon Box! Or you like to make some changes to your team by switching a Pokemon from your box into your team and a team member being placed in the box... and so on. Again PM me anytime you want this to happen so conversations can stay out of the actual RP. I will put in "Check Characters For Any Changes to So-So's Team!" At the bottom of one of my replies. So everyone can see it and take a look at the update. Soon I get enough people signed up/chosen then I will get everyone's profiles copied and posted within the actual RP. This thread will be linked to the actual RP so I don't have to copy and paste everything... though I might end doing so if no one uses this thread for discussions regarding the RP.

The opening plot is going to be very simple and a bit cliche. Our characters are now old enough to go venturing in order to become Pokemon Trainers. Not everyone has a full desire of just becoming a trainer. Everyone has other dreams and goals they want to fill along the way! Anyways, our characters will start out from their home. And it can be from anywhere with the Kalos region. I am choosing to set out from Vaniville Town... yes just like from within the game. But with a twist!
Our characters will be going about their day as normal. Until an announcement is made over the radio/TV about how Professor Augustine Sycamore is looking for young trainers to give away freshly caught starter Pokmeon. The announcement also reports that the professor will also provide not only just a Pokemon but as well as a Pokedex, a few items to get the new trainers started and as well as a handful of cash! The professor wants everyone who wants to become a trainer to be present on July 5th, at 3pm at the south entrance of Santalune Forest! The cut off time will be at 4pm any later you will not be able to participate.
Professor Sycamore will putting us through a set of tests to see if are worthy to be called Pokemon Trainers. These tests don't exclude anyone but not everyone can pass them. After we go through all the tests given Professor Sycamore will then announce the winners. From there we follow him back to his lab to retrieve our Pokemon and among the other things has promised us. After that he wishes us the best of luck and to keep in touch. Then we set out on our Pokemon Adventure!
