[OOC] Pokémon: Start

[Rune_Alchemist]

Shout out to @PlatinumSkink for making this, inviting me from that other rp, and already showing he's a pretty darn good GM. High hopes for this rp. ^.^

@Eklispe

Yeeeah, I can get behind that.

@PlatinumSkink You're doing an awesome job with this so far and I can't wait to get started. Which reminds me. I want to add something to my first post to make it even more ungodly longer than it already is.

So I'ma go do that and eat Barbecue.

I apologize that I can't capture the fabulous awesomeness that is Claire in less than 9,000 characters~ xP

[Pirouette]

So anyone give any thought to traveling partners and such?

[Rune_Alchemist]

I haven't, no. I'd rather they be formed naturally ICly.

That said, unless someone can keep up with Claire I don't see her traveling with that many people xD

She's not gonna stop for no one. They slow her down, she's gonna leave 'em in the dust.

[Pikmin Eye]

Traveling partners? Martin would be fine with anyone offering. I don't have any people picked out in advance. So, I guess let the cards fall where they may.

[Delta44]

Ren has no problem travelling with others, assuming they plan on travelling the same direction as her. :P

[Rune_Alchemist]

Well, Claire's gonna be going down route 2 to start with. Probably go check out the infested woods and those caverns on her way to Lakewatch.

So if anyone's going that way they'll probably run into her.

[PlatinumSkink]

@Pyromaniacwolf@Pink Madness Do I spy, with my little eye... Two trainers from Goldenrod City? ... _{I command thee to know one another! Doesn't have to be very close, but at least know the other's name and face through any sort of connection! XD}

@Pink Madness *cough* Nevermind that. Let's see. So, your father studied to become a researcher in Isson, where he likely met Kalmia in a similar stage of development. This sounds likely. Totally acceptable.

So, beyond that, I must ask you to make some minor adjustments. Firstly, your Pokémon won't come with any held items, and you start with only a potion. Don't worry, we'll handle that in due time. Also, please add Vulpix's type in a field right below gender. We all know Vulpix is fire-type, but for the sake of completion.

Besides that, completely acceptable! With those adjustments, Donna is preemptively accepted~ Not like the items is going to impact anything within the next couple of days, anyway~!

Therefore.

@Rune_Alchemist@Lasrever@Eklispe@Delta44@Pyromaniacwolf@Pink Madness@Pirouette@Keyblade87@Pikmin Eye

With the last player in, this roleplay is finally free to commence! You may post your first post and start your interactions now! The IC is now OPEN~!

[Rune_Alchemist]

*quietly slips in first post*

Weeelp, my job is done.

[Eklispe]

Ah! I'll get a post out within next two days. Should be able to get to my college and steal a computer so I can post.

[Delta44]

Still needs to write a first post XD

[PlatinumSkink]

@Rune_Alchemist Excellent post. I feel I have been given an ample show of how her life up until now has been conducted.

... That said, everyone else, do not let this set the standard. A few of these will intimidate everyone. This is Casual! I don't expect you to post that long posts! The first post is allowed to be as long as you wish (it's an important introductory post, after all), but in the future do adhere to the standards of the current forum. The only one putting excessive life-affecting effort into this should be me! XD

Though, I am a fan of letting people do as they wish, so don't let those words of mine put too much of a limit on you if you feel you need to write a lot or want to write a lot. Just keep it in mind.

[PlatinumSkink]

@Rune_Alchemist Oh, wait. Now that I'm not in a hurry anymore, I read that more carefully. The door is locked, you were to gather IN FRONT of the building, you can't get in unless you're infiltrating through a window or something. My apologies if I was unclear about that.

[Delta44]

@PlatinumSkink There wouldn't happen to be a train station in Pureplain, would there? :D

[PlatinumSkink]

@Delta44 Er. I didn't imagine Isson with trains, I must admit. If there were, they'd likely heading north to go past Mt. Strength via the Bigfjord route to Worldedge, and then down to Raremine from Worldedge, perhaps a route through Mt. Edge that went to Justroad... ... ...

Instead of considering a theoretical train-route, may I ask why you're wondering?

[Delta44]

Ahh, t'was just an idea for mah introductory post :P Reference two different anime with my first post, hehe! Either way Ren can still get to Pureplain, so it's alright ;)

[PlatinumSkink]

@Delta44 Yeah, um, I prefer as few methods of modern transportation as possible in my Pokémon worlds. I realize this makes thinking about transportation of goods hard, buuuuut... EH! XD

[Delta44]

@PlatinumSkink I mean Pokemon are pretty good at transporting stuff ;) Plus, in R/S/E, you sit in the back of a delivery truck to reach your new home, so it's not like all transport for goods is out of the question :P

[PlatinumSkink]

@Delta44 I am incredibly aware of that truck and I am also incredibly aware that there are no roads that truck could have reasonably driven on in order to reach Littleroot Town. It's rather baffling, really.
