I'd think that most people are readers andwriters. After all it makes sense to read other people's post, I feel like its kinda a respect thing for yer fellow rpers.
@balthazar007 I actually was aware that you weren't enforcing a number in this RP, but I wanted to keep some of the game traditions going... Maybe later she'll retrieve it? Or is this completely unrealistic right now haha
So a part of me likes says, "it's cool if you want to self enforce any number of limitations", but my other half says, "If you, this RP's most active player at the moment, start to self enforce standards like this, others will follow suit." This could be a good thing or a bad thing, because it both adds some throw back realism but might create another thing for me to keep tabs on. I'm already sorting through Trainer Point and Creation Point interactions, which is fine and planned. But adding anything more might be too weighty.
On that note, I take back what I said about the number 12. I'm not going to enforce any limitations on the number of Pokemon a person can carry. I just ask everyone to be reasonable.
Just want to remind you that this is an RPing site, meaning that while readers are nice, it's mainly meant for the writers.

You both make great points. Nobody is wrong here.
I have re-wrote the little opening letter in the first OOC post. Basically, the object of the opening letter is to convince people to join our RP. Before hand, the letter assumed that the reader was already interested in joining, (i.e. Someone that LOVES Pokemon or that has been personally recruited by one of us) someone willing to sort through all the ever growing content.By addressing "readers" separately, I hope create a more clear path for people to follow when they aren't sure about joining or not. First, read our RP through the perspective of one of the existing characters. Then, choose another character and do it again, or open up the manual and see what it takes to create a character of your own.
Basically, my theory is this: The more time a person spends reading what we have already written, the more invested they will become, increasing their desire to create a character of their own.
Lore: A city built at the base of a large mostly dormant volcano, Ironforge is a place that's always building bigger. Whether it’s developing a new mine near the volcano for gold or sulfur, expanding the tram system it has, or building another refinery. However things are often abandoned as quickly as they're built. A mine may be built quickly on speculation and abandoned within weeks and the new buildings built to house the workers go into disuse. As such it's a city both rife with activity and disrepair, a mass of new energy and forgotten things. As such Pokemon can often be found within the disused parts of the city or abandoned mines. Fire Pokemon seek the heat of old refineries. Steel Pokemon consume old unused buildings. Earth and Ground Pokemon of all sorts are found within the mines. On occasion these Pokemon can become a problem when they are in areas that come back into use or that aren't entirely abandoned and as such trainers are usually welcomed.
Poke Mart: Poke Marts aren't hard to find and they come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. From large three story affairs to tiny Pop&Son's shops, you'll be sure to find something that can supply you with what you need.

Request Board
Boards are set up all across the city with plenty of roam to pin requests as well the materials necessary to write one already available. It's not unusual to see several requests on any given board for an assortment of reasons. The city allows trainers to register acceptance of requests via Pokedex and instructions for doing so are also available at the boards.
Yes. Go ahead. I'll approve it as soon as I can, tonight before sleep, or tomorrow after work.
Thanks, I'll reply to Zarkun's post, then submit my second character.
Edit: Submitted. I thought a Cinderella archetype would be fitting for Feyhollow. Though as a coordinator who uses unconventional Pokemon, she's more like a mix of Cinderella and the fairy godmother.

@balthazar007 eep I really don't mean for people to follow me or anything, and really I think the people who're posting right now are all really independent and strong writers in their own right, so I dont think anything I'm going to post is going to affect them too much.
On that note I don't think it matters as to how many Pokemon is the limit since I could just play it off as Shanae knowing that she wouldn't have time to train her seventh Poke right now, so it doesn't matter.
@eklispe Wanna consider fighting/flying types for your location? It wouldn't really fit and there's no reason for you to add them, but your location will have the least types right now (which isn't saying much since there's only two up haha). Basically just a friendly suggestion for no reason. Feel free to ignore me.
@eklispe oo then I'm just gonna throw out that I'm making a water/ground/rock/metal/dark/flying/dragon place so we dont have too much overlap. Hehe maxed on typings--it's a mountain range/village, and I hope I didn't overplay types.

Okay guys and gals! Sunset in our RP is about to happen (on the 24th IRL). Remember, you will want to get a post out for each of your characters' on this day if you can. If you didn't know already, posting on either sunrise or sunset earns your character extra goodies!
@balthazar007 Um so I don't think the rank explanations specify when trainers can start evolving Pokemon that only evolve once? I'm going to assume that it's when they become expert trainers?? Haha it'd be really nice if Shanae could evolve her Houndour though ^_^'

Please look at the opening OOC post a little closer, specifically in the "Levels & Evolution" subsection located within the "What about the Pokemon?" section. The last paragraph of that section states that you can evolve a Pokemon as early as you like... but evolving a Pokemon too early will make it unusable in battle and uncontrollable by your character in regular IC posting.
Picture Ash and Charizard in season 1 of Pokemon. You and your Houndoom would have a similar relationship.
Ah okay, got it. Mk then @balthazar007--maybe consider adding that to the rankings part as well? Just for better legibility? Although it is on me for not noticing it haha
