Pokemon - Hoenn: Make a Wish Attempt #? (Always Accepting)

[Loony]

@Prints Avoid Well, whatever you decide, I'm excited to see. ' v '

[Phoenix]

@Prints Avoid I really like that idea. It's very unique and could be very interesting. ^^

[Prints Avoid]

I thought so too, the first few times I tried him out lol. But yeah it seems like that might be my best bet. Either that or a reporter chasing the Zodiac story. We'll see

Hopefully I'll have it down by tomorrow

[Phoenix]

@Prints AvoidBoth sound like very intriguing ideas. A lot of trouble could come to the reporter...or the researcher, really... ^^

[Aphelion]

Hey guys! Sorry for not being very talkative here, but I have been reading. I have an idea for what I'll do for my character, but I do have some questions.

Since we're going to allow people to change the story/landscape/etc. for the other regions for their characters, would it be possible to have those changes written out first somewhere where we can see them in case somebody would also like to be from that region?

Would anyone be upset if we had the same Pokemon? I know that some people prefer that they are the only ones with a specific Pokemon, or Pokemon type for that matter (such as an all Fairy team, Bug Team, etc. etc.).

And lastly, (and probably most importantly), I would inquire as to the level of injury our characters may sustain in this particular roleplay. I tend to lean towards realism in my Pokemon RPs, but I accidentally ended up upsetting another roleplayer during a previous Pokemon RP that I was involved in. She was very angry about my "grim dark" writing, and her being upset is probably what caused that RP to fall apart. I'd like to avoid that if at all possible. As reference, my character was twelve or so years old, gangly thin, and ended up getting rammed into by a Rhydon. She ended up with a minor concussion, a broken arm, and a bruised rib. I just thought it made sense, but it wasn't what the other roleplayer wanted in terms of character injury. Sorry if I'm rambling on. x.x I loved that RP so much.

@Aphelion I will reserve the second post of the OOC for other regions' information. I'm glad you brought it up. Feel free to PM me specific details so that I may post them. ^^

I don't think it should be a problem for anyone. It's bound to happen. I would like to see someone specialist in types other than gym leaders and the elite four.

I'm intending to have it realistic. Pokèmon and humans will die in this RP (if only my NPCs and PCs). I will clarify in the OP and make sure to carry it over to the OOC. :)

[Cyndyr]

I like dark. I also like realistic. I nominate for both because I write the same way.

[Loony]

@Phoenix I'd like to do a write up on Orre if you don't mind, as it's my favourite region and out of all the characters I'm for sure going with (two only but it's still a number), all have so far been native to that region. It's just so different from the rest of the Pokémon world and I think it's great honestly.

As for writing, I can go either way, dark and realistic or light hearted and fluffy. I'm thinking one of my trainers might specialize in the psychic type but I do not know if I want to since my idea for a ranger has a Gothitelle as a partner, and since rangers only keep one Pokémon it's sorta special to it. That being said anyone can have a psychic specializing trainer or even a Gothitelle, but it's sorta essential to his character. At the same time though, I'm not sure I wanna go with him.

[Phoenix]

@LoonyRangers don't have to only have one Pokèmon, unless you want to flesh that area of the RP out. ;)

[Loony]

@Phoenix They don't have to per say, but traditionally they do and it hasn't been shown otherwise. The idea is that you have one partner Pokémon and work with wild Pokémon when needed. Or at least, the ones featured in the Ranger games do. Ranger trainers are sorta different from what's depicted.

I remember there being a union in Oblivia so maybe that's a rule set up there...? *Shrugs* I'm more interested in fleshing out Orre than anywhere else. XD

[Aphelion]

I actually like the idea of a Pokemon Ranger in the sense that they have one partner and possibly have a deeper connection/better understanding of Wild Pokemon than other people might. It makes me interested in playing one, to be honest. If you still wanted to do your Pokemon Ranger character @Loony maybe we could collaborate on characters? I'd also like to see what you do with Orre.

[Loony]

@Aphelion If I do go with him, I'll be happy to do so friend. I'll also show you what I come up with for Orre - we can collab on that as well if you'd like.

[Phoenix]

Well, I made NPCs for a commander and captain ranger. I had the idea that it would be a large organization with the need for higher ups for the sake of organization. Being dispatched on certain missions or tasks or whatever. Granted, I don't know anything about rangers since I never played the games or looked at it. Perhaps I shall when I get home today. ^^

But I also don't need to have those NPCs, so there's that. ;P

[Aphelion]

@Loony I don't know a lot about Orre to be honest, besides what I've read off of the Wiki. If you could give me a summary for Orre, and what you'd like Orre to be, that would help a lot. Maybe I can toss in some ideas. :]

@Phoenix I like the idea of those NPCs for the Rangers. Having leaders is always a good idea, especially NPCs controlled by the GM. You can give us tasks whenever we're lost on what to do, or help influence the story along with them. I think it's a perfect idea. Where do you think the leaders would be located at? Hoenn? Orre? Maybe Orre could be the headquarters for all the Rangers, with outposts in all the regions?

[Loony]

@Aphelion That'd be great. ' v '

Orre is a bad place logically speaking. Orre's nearly completely depleted of wild Pokémon due to horrendous pollution: In the second series when wild Pokémon return, only 9 could be found: Surkit, Gligar, Sandshrew, Phanpy, Trapinch, Aron, Zubat, Hoppip, and Wooper. Since Pokémon Rangers are as much protectors of Pokémon as environment, I think one of the regions like Fiore or Oblivia would be our best bets, or we could have it in Hoenn where it's valued much more.

And I like the idea of the organization as well.

[Phoenix]

I do have a headquarters in Rustboro. But that could just be an outpost from one of those regions. It would give me something to work with. ^^

[Aphelion]

@Phoenix Ahh I see it, sorry for not noticing that. I think Rustboro also makes a good location for the headquarters, with outposts in other regions. I'll probably start writing up a draft for my character.

@Loony & @Phoenix Orre sounds pretty inhospitable. Do you think Rangers would make trips there to try to better the environment, or provide aid?

[Phoenix]

I have no idea. But probably with the current plot of the RP, it wouldn't happen during the plot. It could have been something before and the Commander called for everyone to return.

[Prints Avoid]

Work is going to kill me. Got called in for tonight. My half day tomorrow just became a full day. Wooooooo

Looks like I'm just gonna recycle a character lol

[Phoenix]

@Prints AvoidBut, no, really, that sounds awful. D:
