It's now the year 2347 and things are much different than what they used to be. A certain man took his place in power and turned our customs upside-down. 2016 was the year things first began taking a turn for the worst, and fast. Our once Democracy has now turned itself into a Dictatorship, a Regime, if you will. Our military has been turned against 'We The People' and have since become a pack of lapdogs for the man in current power. They capture and seize those who defy him and his ways, and keep a close eye on 'his' people. Regime soldiers wander the streets all over the U.S., at all hours of the day, leaving little room for comfort among the rebellious few.
After the wars some decades ago, most of the cities lay in ruin. Both buildings and streets have since become overgrown with plantlife. Curfews are set at 8PM, and if you're not in your homes and locked in for the night by that time, soldiers will find you. They carry with them electric batons and assault rifles, only for the ones who manage to escape their attack pokemon. Ranging from Growlithes, Houndour, Poocheyena, and their respective evolutions. A few higher ranking officers even having Absols by their side. These pokemon have been trained to hunt down and capture whatever object, person or pokemon they are pointed towards. Their job is to cease any and all rebel activity. Such said activity has only sprung up within the last 6-7 years, but it is growing rapidly stronger with each passing year.
These previously stated 'rebellious few' are made up with those of us who believe that pokemon are here for companionship, not to be used as weapons of war. We are the ones who cannot be controlled. We are the Rebellion. We are terribly outnumbered, and have little to no leadership or resources. There's no real set plan, but what we do have is hope. Hope that we can one day take back our once beloved country, and put and end to The Regime. These pokemon being captured and used in the name of greed deserve justice. They can't speak for themselves, so let's give them a voice. Join the Rebellion. Make a difference!
This is a mixture of Pokemon and action thriller. Im old school and do not know or much care for all current 700+ pokemon and mega evolutions etc etc. I am knowledgeable up to the Third Generation (Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald) so that is the cutoff. I'm sorry if that's a deal-breaker. Stats and level will not exist. Special ability will not exist. I want a strong character to Pokemon connection, so you will not have 6 Pokemon. Ideally only 1, but I'm gonna allow anywhere from 2-3. That only being if you decide to go with a character on 'Team Regime', you or the people you're affiliated with may have political influence allowing you freedoms of having more than just a single pokemon. Otherwise, you're lucky to have Pokemon anyway, much less a pokeball to keep it in. All of that is regulated and controlled by the Regime. No matter the side, at the end of the day, we are an oppressed population. You will however have access to all available moves your Pokemon can do, not just 4 like in the games. If your Pokemon has evolutions, start off from the first to show growth throughout the RP. Be realistic with your choice. If you're a rebel constantly on the run from town to town, hauling around a Lapras makes absolutely no sense. You do not have to start with a Pokemon but it's fairly important that you attain one sooner than later. I will have two characters of my own. Both rebels, but one will be an ex-Regime soldier on the run. Although both my characters, neither will run into each other for quite some time. So if you choose to be around either of the two, that's where I'll be. Generally speaking, my plan as of now is for good, to ultimately triumph, in the end. That end could be hundreds of pages from now. Who knows! I'm open to anything.
defeating a gym leader in this day and age is an absolute way to get tracked down and have your Pokemon confiscated by the Regime. 'Big brother' is always watching, and always in need of fresh, strong pokemon.
As I stated in the Interest Check thread, I am looking for writers that are willing to stick around and see this roleplay to the end. If you're unable to reply at least every 3-5 days, and in turn be understanding of those who can't reply until then (of course they should be able to throw in a heads-up if they are going to be gone an extended amount of time), then please do not apply for this RP. I am in need of writers who can write 5+ sentences in each post, not including dialogue. I, myself, can be quite a 'grammar nazi' at times, but none of us are perfect. We all have our moments. As long as you have at least a high school reading/writing level, we're good. Attempt proper grammar and punctuation as much as possible, but it's okay. Again, not perfect.
I feel this RP has a lot of potential. Keep in mind, though, this isn't the video game. It is a real world action-thriller, as if Pokemon actually existed. Your pokemon are essentially your best friends, brothers/sisters.. they're what keeps you sane and alive in times like these. My reason for us not needing six of them at a time. The regime has their hand in everything that you could possibly think of. Pokeballs are practically non existent, along with many other items. If they find out you have a strong pokemon, the Regime will want, and try to take it. Speaking of strong pokemon, legendaries will not be these all-powerful creatures who are the cause of the world turning or things of that nature. Legendaries will just be dangerously strong pokemon who happen to just be a very rare breed/type of the sort. Of course, if they exist, the Regime most likely has hold of them. The Regime have developed a control device of sorts, allowing them to capture and use pokemon against their will. That is how the Regime came to be so powerful, they have numbers, and with those numbers, power.
No god-mode.
No killing of player/important characters unless agreed upon.
No sexual content, please fade to black. If you'd like, continue in PMs, just nothing past kisses here in the IC.
Cussing? Well, I'm quite the sailor myself, but for the sake of the younger audiences, let's keep it to a minimum. Kay?
Any questions, concerns, or ideas - please feel free to PM me.
