My idea is basically a reboot of an old RP, who's owner allowed me to take and redo. Here it is. Everything written in their words. Anything I write will be in pink.
So...What's the basic plot of this RP?
Many years have passed since the events of Gale of Darkness. Wild Pokémon have become more numerous, no signs of Snagem or Cipher have been seen, and things seem more or less at peace.
Or so it seems.
Unable to let go of his thirst for revenge and his loyalty to Cipher, Ardos, Greevil's son, swore to revive Cipher. Slowly but surely, he began to do just that. Though still small in numbers, the group continued to work on their plans under the radar, with each passing day growing larger in numbers. After successfully stealing the Snag machine-their first big impact in Orre during the past 5 years-they began to make to copies of it; every now and then, reports of stolen Pokémon are made. Despite this, no signs of Shadow Pokémon have yet been confirmed...but with Ardos working away at deciphering the Ein files, that may very well change soon.
In other words, Cipher's making a comeback, and that's going to spell out trouble for the rest of us.
In this roleplay, you can choose to either roleplay as a normal trainer, breeder, etc., a member of Cipher, and later on in the rp, a member of Snagem, or even a follower of Miror B.
Some key differences:
-Many more wild Pokémon
-The Pre Gym is now part of a Colosseum.
- The trainer's school has been rebuilt in Gateon port.
-Michael has taken place as head of the HQ lab.
-And more minor changes, which will be added/revealed through-out the roleplay.
Cool, so how do I join?
All you have to do is create an OC and wait for approval. Then you can go on right ahead!
What's the format you roleplay in?
We use proper sentences rather than roleplaying in script format. Posts are expected to be at least three sentences long, and are ideally a paragraph; however, more is fine. If this is moved to casual it will obviously be a paragraph or two at least.
Can we have legendaries? How about shinies?
Depends on the scenario. You'll have to ask me before hand, as the answer to that can vary. As a general rule, I'm more willing to give legendaries to 'villains', as it makes it more challenging for the 'heroes'. However, a simply peon probably isn't going to be walking around with Arceus trotting behind him, if you know what I mean. Shinies are allowed. BUT only one per all of your characters MAX. Meaning only one of your three can have a shiny and that one character can only have one. Shinies are VERY rare in Orre.
Do you have a leveling system?
No; though we do mention levels in the character sheets, we don't mention them in roleplay. We go by this basic logic; Pokémon with more experience battling in roleplay will get stronger. Also, like the concept used in Pokémon amie; the better you treat your Pokémon, the more they'll go that extra mile for their trainer. Just be reasonable and it'll be okay.
And movesets?
As long as it's something your Pokemon could learn, I don't care. Just try to limit it to about 6 or 7 different moves per battle.
What's the highest level I can make my Pokémon at the beginning?
If your trainer is a rookie they shouldn't have anything over level 5, 10 tops. Anything over should be disobedient. But if they're experienced the maximum is 45, 50 if we're really pushing it. It can increase during roleplay but it won't be mentioned.
How many character can I have?
Three maximum unless I make an exception. This can be 3 canons, 3 OCs, 2 canons and 1 OC, or 1 canons and 2 OCs.
Any age restrictions to the characters?
No age limit! All registered trainers have to be 10 or older. But that's it.
How about to the Pokémon?
No restrictions to Pokémon! Except for the ones you can catch in the wild. There'll be a list of locations of where they can be found in wild and which pokemon in there. But any you have before the RP or any Shadow Pokemon you snag from Cipher (or non-shadow if you wanna roll that way) doesn't matter. Any region.
If you have any other questions don't be afraid to ask!
And for canons:
So, anyone interested?
Also this is my first try at an RP. A GM would be nice. I'll also add rules and extra stuff like where we'll start once this is running
