So part of my October festivities included watching all of the Harry Potter movies. In the midst of that, I've been playing some of the classic Pokemon games in my spare time and it reminded me of an unfinished fan fiction I wrote so many years ago. It's fairly common concept in the world of Pokemon RPs obviously, but I've always been intrigued by the idea of having a Pokemon Academy RP be extremely successful. The problem with that is that I know that I don't particularly do too well with roleplays that have more than 5 people (including myself). Not that I can't do it, but it just gets too difficult to manage personalities, writing styles, and a plethora of other controversies. I find it easier with smaller numbers whereas most "academy" style RPs have a rolling admissions process where anyone can get in so long as they are accepted.
So, let me try to get to the point of this particular request thread: I'm looking for a committed partner for a one on one Pokemon Academy RP that is willing to basically take on the heavy load of crafting our own little universe. The details of the RP itself will come later, but I wanted to iron out a bit of the house keeping details before I hook you in with a plot. Any questions regarding these details, feel free to PM.
- An understanding of Pokemon in general is needed, definitely need to know the Pokemon of the different regions at minimum (from Kanto to Alola and more).
- This is just a personal preference so please respect it: I prefer to roleplay with female partners.
- Be willing to play multiple characters and both genders. Yes, we would have "main characters," but what's a good story without side characters and antagonists, right?
- Using real life faces and real life locations/aesthetics is something that I thoroughly enjoy in most of my RPs. I'm not against anime faces though, it's just something I enjoy as I like diverse representation for the characters I write.
- Consistent communication and posting is a deal breaker for me. The best way to reach me is via PM or Discord (my preference) and I'm not that difficult to get in contact with usually. I would hope you are accessible as well in case something happens in real life.
- I don't have a specific "word count" as it varies depending on the circumstances, but I will say that I write "a lot." Multiple paragraphs and vivid descriptions are standard for me so I would hope that you would do the same. One liners or one paragraph posts irk me.
- I have no limits in regards to romance and mature themes, it would just have to take place under the appropriate platform as it relates to RP Guild's rules. Questions about that can be discussed in PM and/or Discord.
Hopefully I covered everything I'm looking or that you guys would have questions about referring to overall housekeeping stuff. Anyway, on to some of the plot details.
The goal of this RP would be, obviously, a long term playing out of our characters' time at a Pokemon Academy (for the sake of this request, we'll call it Elite Academy, name could be pending depending on our conversations). To that end, I'd love to take some themes from other series like Harry Potter, Yu-Gi-Oh GX and Percy Jackson and implement them into the RP. Throwing in corruption, mysteries, angst, drama, romance, action, adventure, etc. is such a huge deal for me as it keeps my interest throughout the RP. The age range is up for discussio (teens or young adults in college). Again, we can iron out the specific plot details later as we connect one-on-one.
A question that could potentially come up is opening up this RP for multiple players. I'm weary of that honestly and would only do that for one extra person (so a 1x1x1). For this to happen, I would need to be blown away by another person's writer such that I would want to add them to the plot. This would probably need to be taken care of prior to the posting of the actual RP game in the appropriate section, but I don't necessarily expect this to go beyond a one on one RP as I find that easier in managing this specific RP.
Anyway, if you are interested in this, please send me a PM so that we can discuss some details and potentially starting this RP. I'm only looking for one partner, but I want to ensure that I'm selecting the partner that fits with me the best!
I hope to hear from you soon! Until then... here are some aesthetics from the Pokemon GO commercial that I think would be awesome considering this would be a Pokemon RP based around "real life" locations, people, etc.
- A professor and his Psyduck
- Leafeon in a forest outside of campus
- A colony of Chimchars in the mountains
- Pikachu and Pachirisu playing in the forest
- Growlithe and Vulpix as family pets
- Wild Garchomp confronts Lucario
- A Munchlax and its parent
- Gastrodon on the East coast of the campus and Gastrodon on the West coast of the campus
- What lies beyond our world...?
