I should probably go ahead and state that this will be made into an RPGmaker game, I have the assets and everything already. Obviously not everything in the RP will be in the game (that would be ridiculous) but all of the characters will be involved in some way and many of the events in the RP will either happen or be referenced in the game.
As much as I want to post a whole paragraph summarizing the plans of this, I'd rather people just read that on the main RP thing. The RP is just about ready to go too.
Bump (it should also be noted that I'm actually going to work on an RPGmaker game based on this RP if it does well enough, I already have the assets and such)
CS: Going to work on this over the next few days as I get free time.
Name: Ian Laudat
Age: 17
Height: 5'11
Appearence: Ian is a pale guy with short light brown hair. He generally wears a green T-shirt and blue-jeans as well as his backpack where he keeps all of his gear.
Personality: Ian tends to be fairly laid back in most situations, though if his pokemon is in danger he quickly becomes serious. He is also deceptively analytical, often throwing his opponents off guard when his strategy comes together. History:
. Ian was born in the distant Orre region's Agate Village where he was raised by his grandparents. Naturally, in a village filled with senior citizens there wasn't much to do but explore the woods surrounding it and loaf around the village...the former quickly becoming boring without any Pokemon around. As soon as Ian grew old enough to leave the village he said goodbye to all of the old people and made his way to Pyrite town to live with his cousin and see if he could find some excitement. He found all of the excitement that he could have wanted in watching the Colosseum matches. Seeing people compete for prizes that he could only dream of quickly replaced that excitement with envy as he started wanting to participate. Without a Pokemon though, all he could do was spectate.
That all changed after a trainer that had won the tournament decided he didn't want the dark blue Pokemon egg that had been the prize. Apparently hatching an egg was was "not worth the effort." The man tossed the egg behind him directly at the wall. Luckily Ian managed to catch the egg and bring it home. With no prior knowledge on Pokemon eggs he was forced to contact his grandparents and ask for their advice. Not only did they explain most of what Ian needed to know they sent him a pokeball and an incubator. Weeks later, a small Sneasel emerged from the egg only to be caught immediately. Ian and Sneasel spent almost every waking moment training or watching Colosseum matches in preparation for what they expected to be their competitive debut. Unfortunately for Ian, Sneasel refused to train without Ian training simultaneously. On the up side this kept both of them in good shape despite them both being almost constantly exhausted.
After a year the pair felt that it was time to challenge the Colosseum. After borrowing his cousin's Growlithe (as the battles were doubles only) Ian signed himself up. While the group never progressed passed the finals, they had certainly made a name for themselves among the competitors. They almost consistently lost to the same trainer, the same man that had thrown the egg about a year before. Ian didn't know how, but Sneasel seemed to know this fact and all of her training on keeping her calm went out the window. It was so bad that she didn't even seem to pay attention to Ian at all during the battles and only focused on trying to defeat the man's Ursaring and Fearow. If that wasn't bad enough, Growlithe didn't last too long without Sneasel's assistance.
Every time they lost, Sneasel became more and more upset. She seemed to feel pretty bad about neglecting Ian's orders. The only thing that the pair knew to do though, was train. After six consecutive losses the man seemed to take an interest in Sneasel's capabilities. He stopped Ian on his way out the door and asked where the young trainer had gotten such a promising ice type. After Ian revealed that Sneasel was the exact one that the man had thrown away all that time ago, the man tried to take Sneasel claiming that she was his property. Naturally, Sneasel didn't like the idea and immediately gave the man an ice punch to the kidneys, nearly killing him. After returning his cousin's Growlithe and explaining the situation, Ian and Sneasel managed to leave town and make their way to the coast. While Ian didn't exactly feel bad about what happened, he did know that they couldn't exactly stay in Orre. The man that Sneasel had assaulted was pretty wealthy after all of those victories in the Colloseum and could probably have the pair arrested or killed.
Fortunately Sneasel had also stolen the man's wallet when she had attacked him so it wasn't difficult to buy their way onto a ship bound for the distant Kosei region and get away from all of this. His Grandfather had called Professor Tsuga in advance for a pokedex and his registration as a pokemon trainer. Ian and Sneasel's journey had finally begun in earnest, just not the way either had expected.
This shall be the first OOC post of this pokemon RP. This is where I'll be posting this region's lore, the RP's rules, etc.
A few hiders would be helpful.
CS:
Name
Age:
Personality:
Appearance:
Height:
History: Anything more than one paragraph ought to suffice.
Preferred Starter: No legendaries and no evolved pokemon.
Team: Name - Approximate Level - Gender - Ability - Current Moveset (this can eventually include a rotation)
Bag items: A hider would be a good thing to keep things clean.
Major Rules:
Battles:(the results anyway) will be handled via Showdown. Of course there are exceptions to this rule (encounters that couldn't qualify as a battle, things we couldn't simulate in Showdown, opponents that simply can't be beaten, if the two parties agree that a simulated battle isn't necessary IE: if the parties agree on a draw or the fight gets interrupted.)
Gym battles will be handled by me or one of the Co-GMs (depending on who's availiable)
Avoid Metaposting whenever possible. Minor metaposting like speeding up travel (if you even consider it as such) and such in some situations might be needed.
(This is more or less a concept drawing to give the idea of where everything is. I am no artist and am open to criticism and questions about the region.)

O=Oldport A polluted slum of a town home of the water/poison type gym.
N=Naran
V=Vareena A small village and the home of the grass type gym.
M=Mesalon A large town at the top of a Mesa(so unexpected) Is home to the normal type gym.

Northeast Island= Zephyr Island
Southeast Island = Astugrad
Southwest Island = The Ohq Refuge
Lore(Some of it anyway):
The Kosei Region: A vast region that has essentially been torn apart and put back together on multiple occasions by a mixture of cataclysmic natural disasters and dangerous criminals. It is said that the wasteland in eastern Kosei was once a vast forest with many towns and settlements scattered throughout, now only three towns and the once famous Treasure Park exist within the empty wastes.
Team Tyrannical: A team of criminals that utilize their own twist on the infamous Shadow Pokemon. With their constant research and experiments the practice has excelled to the point of rivaling mega evolution. Unfortunately, these Pokemon have proven to be rather ferocious in nature and are quite dangerous even to their handlers.
The team's overarching goal is to lure Giratina into the world and turn it into a shadow Pokemon. Doing this would enable Team Tyrannical to force Giratina to pull everything into the Distortion World. Their motives are unknown but one thing is certain, it isn't good. Their radical dedication to this cause paired with their technology and influence over the region make Team Tyrannical one of the largest threats that Kosei has ever seen.
The Kosei region's professor is the enigmatic Professor Tsuga. His lab in Windshire isn't very organized, but Tsuga assures his aides that there is a system in place. His excited nature is reflected by his Goodra, Escargoo. As Kosei lacks any unique starters, many are simply imported from other regions.
RB took a moment to turn his safety functions on in the hopes that his systems wouldn't glitch out and automatically obliterate this new 'guest.' He assumed if it came to a firefight, Andrei would probably back him up.
"Affirmative" RB said as he rolled slowly towards the source of the noise from before.
(I know this a really short post, but I really didn't want to do any meta shit.)
