In the world of Pokémon, criminal organizations were well known for two things: complex plots and losing to kids. After the teams found themselves in defeat, they just seemed to have vanished from the world of Pokémon. For five years, no one has heard anything of them... until now. Things have changed since five years ago. The leaders of the Teams Rocket, Aqua, Magma, Plasma, Galactic, and Flare have become much more ruthless. They have begun taking over the Regions of Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, and Kalos. In the years before the re-emerging of the criminal organizations, all Trainers, both upcoming and experienced, had to register in order to be allowed to become Trainers. This way, those that tried to bring back the old Pokémon gangs would be able to be hunted down and punished much easier. However, that all changed when Team Rocket re-emerged. They found a way around the system, and the others soon followed. However, in the island region of Rendoh, there exists peace. People and Pokémon live happily in peace and harmony. The island region is small, but has steadily been growing. So far, the region has two certified Gym Leaders. In the city of Kouren, is the 7th certified Pokémon Academy. It is here that a group of young Trainers near graduations are gonna be forced to mature sooner than they expected. So, the basic premise is that a group of people, about 5-6, will be playing as a group of promising young Trainers. They'll learn of the conflict, and must travel forth through the regions to see what can be done. I will not be playing one of the PC's, as most GM's tend to do. Instead, I'll be controlling major PC's and in general just doing GM stuff. So, any takers?

Hmmmm, maybe...

Keeping an eye on this

Nice to see some interest, even if it's tentative. Bump.

I'm willing. Sign me up if it does pick up.

Interested.

One or two more definite answers, and I'll get an OOC/sign-up started.

You described the group as promising trainers. Can we take this to mean they may have earned at least one of the badges from the gyms, or would they have been restricted to the academy? Just asking cause I got a character taking shape in my head.

I'm up for it, just depends on execution

> You described the group as promising trainers. Can we take this to mean they may have earned at least one of the badges from the gyms, or would they have been restricted to the academy? Just asking cause I got a character taking shape in my head. Yeah, they can have earned a badge or two. > I'm up for it, just depends on execution Any ideas? I'm always open to suggestions. As a note, for those that might already be forming ideas, you can have up to six Pokémon, if you wish. Just do note that only two can be at stage two, and the others have to be at stage 1. Basically, no fully evolved Pokémon yet, as that'll leave room for progress. And feel free to catch more than six, just be reminded that they'll be in the PC, per usual.

Well, I'm really best once I have a cs to work with. And I suppose I can assume no legendarys? So that leaves regular pokemon at first or second stage.

No legendaries is usually the rule, and is the case here. As for CS, I'm working that out, and will have something up when OOC is up.

Ok kool

always interested in a pokemon rp!

Ugh, I'm interested in this, but not playing just another mainstream Pokemon game character going around saving the world and collecting badges. Need an antagonist or villain type character? I'd love to play a competent Team Rocket grunt or admin.

sounds good, pokemon's fun!

I'll have an OOC up tomorrow, if not tonight. PM me at that time, Fantasy. we might be able to work something out.

Alright! I'm not the type of person you have to worry about being overpowered or abusing their position by the way. I always think of the other people I'm writing with and having an OP character in the roleplay isn't fun for everybody else.
