Pokemon Adventure

[KiraTheRogue]

Would anyone be interested in a pokemon adventure? It would be right at the beginning of are trainers adventure. We would be 11 or 12ish. We would have one basic pokemon from the starter list that I have made. There would probably be a max, I don't know how much players there will be. There will be legendary pokemon but far into the adventure.

[Charlevoix]

I love pokemon. Sign me up. What generations would we have access to?

[Rin]

Potentially interested depending on how things turn out, but I've been looking for a good Pokemon RP for a while so it shouldn't take much to get my full attention. XD

[KiraTheRogue]

It don't nknow what region we will start in I am going to have a poll.
Vote for the region.
Kanto- 0
Johto- 0
Hoenn- 0
Sinnoh- 0
Unova- 0
Kalos- 2

[Lost Cause]

Interested, although part of me wants to play a Rocket for some reason. Not sure why.

[Rin]

Hmmm... Going to vote Unova, and whilst the official reason would be because I think it's a nice, varied region that would be really fun to explore, the real reason is because Pokestar Studios. >.> <.< Also my vote is for Unova as it is in BW2, since that means Roxie.

Anyways, just wondering what kind of plot and tone you have in mind for this? Since that would kind of play a big part in whether I'm fully interested or not. ^^;

[KiraTheRogue]

I was thinking just a adventure from the start, what do you think?

[Charlevoix]

Just a classic pokemon startup? Trying to get badges and ribbons just like the anime. Also I vote Kalos. It has all the other regions pokemon encompassed within it and has great changes in mega evolutions and epic legendaries.

[KiraTheRogue]

souns great, I think we will start in Kalos

[Expolar]

I'm also interested, especially since this is a pokemon RP. Just wondering though:
1. Are we free to do anything we want (as long as it follows the rules of course), like form teams or lone wolf?
2. Will there be some plot to the RP that would occur behind the scenes and eventually make itself known, or will the characters just wonder around Kalos doing what ever they want?
3. Can we pick any pokemon as our starters, not just the usual average starters?

[KiraTheRogue]

I will have a list of basic pokemon fornthe starters.

[Expolar]

Also like before, what type of tone and plot would this pokemon RP be like. As in would it be more of a:

Realistic similar how Pokemon Origin was, and with age,
Similar to the actual anime with Ash and his adventures.
A darker tone where pokemon may actually die during battle or what not other things related.

[Rune_Alchemist]

Potentially interested....but I don't like playing as kids...Especially in the pokemon world. Do we have to be that old? Or can we be a teenager? If not, still kind of interested. I want a good pokemon RP that will last

[Charlevoix]

I think we should definitely set a tone because as you both said, age and a darker tone will drastically change the feel of the story. The same if we go realistic in the plot. A clear tone and idea of the world in which we start will give us all a much better sense of this RP.

...So my vote doesn't mean anything? And honestly, as much as I like Mega Evolution, the mechanics of it and the fact that only a select few can use it makes it kind of... I don't think it'd work too well, to be honest. Also, as far as tone goes...

Let's avoid this kind of bullshit, okay? Pokemon is at it's core a child's fantasy. That's pretty much a big part of the appeal of it. This, and trying to make it "realistic" (especially seeing how inherently unrealistic the setting is) is... It's always came off as really kind of stupid to me, honestly. ^^; One of the reasons I was interested was because you said that we'd be playing as kids, and I figured that would mean we'd be avoiding doing anything tone/setting breaking like that.

Also... No offense, but the starter list seems a bit... Random. It's like you just pulled out the names of random unevolved Pokemon out of a hat or something. I was assuming it would be actual starters, for one thing, and that list is just... A bit unimpressive, I guess? Hurm...

I dunno, I guess I'm just old and thus picky when it comes to stuff involving something I've loved since I was a kid. ^^; Um, sorry for being so fussy.

[Charlevoix]

I love the starters list. Already know which one I want. Also, I agree with Rin. We should keep lighter tone as pokemon is a child's universe and very fanciful in nature. Also, while I do love the starter list, I think if we maybe expanded it just a little everyone would have the pokemon they wanted. Personally it just so happens that one of my favorite pokemon is up on the list. :-)

[Rin]

I just think the list is a little weird, is all. I know there are some I'd definitely go for from it (Slowbro is my favourite Pokemon, so I'd be grabbing that Slowpoke >.> <.<), but some of them seem like they've been chosen at random. XD I guess I'm just overly nitpicky, though, since it's really just a minor point, and the thing about tone was really my main concern.

...Well, that and the fact that the voting on which region we start in seems to have been thrown out the window, but yeah.

[Charlevoix]

Well they have goomy, so I'm set, but I do see your point. These are all very unconventional. I like not having the vanilla starters I just would like to see more pokemon on this list. (Cough, cough, Castform, cough, cough)

[Expolar]

I would also like a lighter tone, but a bit more choice when it came to age. Also the list does seem a bit random, which isn't bad, but if we were instead given a choice of any evolved pokemons so we all would have a chance to pick our favorite or preferred choice of starters, having the list just feels like it's limiting the choices too much. Also

I'm okay if mega evolutions weren't a thing, besides, it's just a small amount compared to the 700+ pokemons already out there.

Edit:
Not to sound like I'm rushing, but just curious as to what are we waiting for to start the actual RP?
