Gritty, Dark Pokemon RP -- A Coming of Age Story!

[Fiber]

This is something I'm interested in.

[Roach]

Also interested.

Alright everyone, it seems like we're practically at our limit, save if someone else wants to join for a grand total of 9-10 players. For now, I'd like to ask you all what region you'd prefer this to be set in.

Honestly, my faves have to be either Johto, Hoenn, or Sinnoh. Maybe even Unova.

[Bartimaeus]

Never played any games in this region, but Sinnoh seems like fun. It’s nice and big xP I’m most familiar with Unova but changing it up is always nice.

I also imagine we will have our Pokémon restricted by our region for the most part, yeah?

[Marlowe]

@Bartimaeus I have no issue with doing Sinnoh or Johto. Unova is cool too!

As for Pokemon, no; you can have any Pokemon as long as it makes sense. I always found the region-locked Pokemon idea to be pretty strange

[Bartimaeus]

Gotcha! That’s cool, allows more flexibility and fun ^^

[Marlowe]

Yeye! For my character I'll claim Shinx and Taillow.

[Bartimaeus]

I’m thinking maybe a Sneasel for my gal. Might PM you for a question though some time, or wait for the Discord.

[Vertigo]

You could always make a scientology cult like break for freedom @Vertigo during a fire on a compound. Maybe my character is being dissuaded from the public service for some reason and wants to go out on an adventure

@jackal0per

That's one idea! Though I was thinking more "family" in mafia terms, rather than a cult. They were never a threat to the character's well-being, and were actually quite good to their own (which leads to the dilemma the character faces later on). There was no dramatic escape. Of course, they might not like them now that they left, but... yeah. Easier to have emotional attachment, moral qualms and grey morality when the bad guys you left behind weren't bad to you or yours.

As for the region, my vote goes for Johto! Partly due to shameless nostalgia, partly because I'm actually familiar with the map, ha.

Pretty set on character basics, but not yet sure on personality details or gender. Hmm. How's the ratio on that so far?

For Pokémon, might have Galarian Meowth at least. I love them and will spam fanart endlessly if given incentive. (Don't give me incentive).

[Marlowe]

No one's claimed a gender for their characters so far, so you can pick whatever!

Hmmm I think Johto or Sinnoh would be the best choices. I could go for either or. And it'll be nice cause our characters will often be of Japanese orient because of the area Johto and Sinnoh are based on, no?

[Vertigo]

I'm leaning towards a guy so far, but if we get a lot of those I can also switch it up. No biggie.

Yeah, all the regions until Unova were based on areas of Japan.

[Marlowe]

@Vertigo You can choose whatever you'd like, since you're one of the first ones here. :) And you're right! I forgot about that.

[jackal0per]

I'm only familiar with unova and hoenn but it doesn't matter.

[Yankee]

Kind of leaning Johto.

[Marlowe]

I'm leaning towards Johto as well.

[Chezka]

Room for one more? :D Trying to get back into the swing of things here, and a Pokemon seems like the best way to do it!

[Marlowe]

@Chezka Sure, we got room for one more. I'll work on the OOC soon.

[Bartimaeus]

So that’s 3 votes for Johto I think, plus I also don’t mind that region ^^

Btw, did you/are you going to have a character sheet outline in mind, Ambra, or did you want us to wing it?

[Marlowe]

@Bartimaeus I will have a sheet up with the OOC, don't worry. :) The OOC and the discord should be up and running later today.

[Roach]

I'm good for any region - maybe a slight preference for Hoenn or Johto if anything.

(Pokemon-wise, I'm thinking of either a Chingling or a Honedge.)
