Okey dokie, we'll start with like 3 and work up from there.
I agree with c3p, start off with few just to see how it feels. And once the characters arrive at a point where they could use a full team of six, see how we want to do it then.
Also, I decided on a concept. Gonna rework a character from an old RP I never got to use, which I think will fit in well. Now I'm writing the character sheet!
Two quick questions though: our characters are intended to travel together around the region, right? Also, since exploration is handled in a certain way, would items like pure incense, repels, etc. effectively do nothing mechanically? I was thinking about taking a cleanse tag for the held item for aesthetic/RP purposes.
Great! Looking forward to your character.
Question number one: Yes that is my expectation/hope. You guys are free to go separately at various points if its more convenient but I figured it'd be more fun to stick together most of the time. If there was more of a turn out I could say we could split up into 2+ groups but we don't have the people for that.
Question number two: You're free to have it/"use" it, but mechanically it'd be useless, yeah.
So, a little update. I updated the map section & the exploration section to show what items can be found/discovered in the RP. Each time you go into a new area (landmark/route, not settlements), you get three item rolls: 2 basic item rolls and 1 treasure roll. The basic item list is just items you use for adventuring (potions, pokeballs, status restores, etc.). Treasure list is just for stuff you can find & sell for $$$.
Working on the combat aspect & gym leader teams, and I have a question for everyone: How many Pokemon on a Gym Leader's team would you like to see/face? Is 3-4 Pokemon per team the ideal or would you guys rather take on a full team of 6? Former has the advantage of being easier + more quicker to go through, but some may prefer the latter for the challenge of a full team. I'm conflicted.
I'm a sucker for some pokemon! This is a style of RP mechanics I personally haven't done before so I'm game to try this out. And personally, I really like colored dialogue. It helps me distinguish each PC and better hone in on what is being internalized vs externalized by a character - useful for when writing reactions or envisioning a scene.
Awesome! We'd love to have you. And thanks for the feedback. I went ahead and colored the dialogue for the intro. Hopefully, it's easier to read. Let me know if any of the color choices are bad/hard on the eyes. Along with doing some of the stuff that I still need to complete (NPC profiles, mostly), I'll be working on making the OOC front page more visual friendly. I'll also continue working on the mechanics & updating the front page.
I'm not going to be posting Gym Leader's Pokemon teams as of right now. I designed the RP with the idea that players can go wherever they want/any particular path they desire (starting point is relatively in the middle of the region) and so because of that, each gym leader has technically 8 teams pre-planned that depends on what order our characters will challenge gym leaders. 90% of these teams aren't going to be used, but I drafted them up anyway cause I didn't know what order you guys would go in and wanted to be prepared (also it was fun). So, gym leader's teams won't be posted until the RP starts and I have an idea of where our characters will be going.
So, in order for the RP to start I need a minimum of 2-3 players. More would be ideal, but I'll take what I can get. There is no rush/pressure, we can start whenever. But that is the state of things. If anyone has any questions/issues, feel free to ask! :)
EDIT: Also, I'm changing the shiny rate to 1/30. We won't be having too many wild Pokemon encounters compared to the games so I've drastically rose the rate. But if it ends up too common, I'll reduce it.
Woah! You've done a ton of set-up. I'm gonna bunker down and give all this a read before I start throwing out character concepts, but I'm majorly impressed. (And seeing a big ol' list of NPCs in the characters tab gives me faith that you've got plenty of cool stuff in mind for the players to experience.)
Thank you! And yeah, I have quite a bit cooked up. Still needs more organizing, but once things get moving I think it'll all come along.
~~
Also, big thanks to @Yankee for letting me know the Guild has a dice roller. That should make things a lot easier/smoother...once I figure out how to use it!
EDIT: Question for folks...do people here generally prefer it if dialogue is colored? I kind of prefer it not colored but I can see how it could be easier for some.
I'm game to give it a go. It would be a 'definitely' but I'm in a few RPs and just in case I can't juggle as well as I think, I don't want to make any promises.
If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask there! :)
Also, gonna tag @Dragonfly 9, @Thunder999999, and @Crimson Flame as you guys expressed interest in the rp here, albeit for some of you it was a while ago so if you're no longer interested you can just ignore this!

She had a gift for technology and was a frequent blogger on the internet. One day, after making a video about her family’s honey farm and suddenly the video became a viral sensation overnight. The farm got thousands of orders from people wanting to try the honey from the Wilson family farms, and Phoebe took it upon herself to capitalize on the situation.

Name: Caelia Arkwright Age: 26 Gender: Woman. She/her. Appearance: Standing at 5’5’’, Caelia is a rather pale young woman with long, fluffy pale blonde hair (that looks almost grey or white). She has light grey eyes and is on the petite side. She is often seen wearing light colors and expensive dresses with lots of ribbons, bows, and frills. She can sometimes be seen carrying a matching parasol with her. Role: Fairy Gym Leader Personality: Caelia has been described as many things, but the most common one is “quiet.” Introverted and rather aloof, she keeps to herself most of the time. She is rather serious, but when she does crack a joke, most people can’t even tell she is joking. Caelia isn’t an expressive person and can often be misinterpreted as uninterested or bored. She is a dreamer and a bit of a space case, with her head constantly up in the clouds.
She doesn’t have a large attention span and can quickly lose interest in a subject and given the opportunity will change it as soon as possible. Caelia doesn’t have too much of a social circle but keeps those she is close with very close. She remains close with her adoptive father, although he can be overbearing at times. She takes matters of Pokemon seriously and can be a competent opponent when it comes to battles.
Background: Born to the infamous Arkwright family, in her early years Caelia grew up in a life of great luxury and privilege. She had loving, supportive parents who cared for her dearly. Her family was incredibly well off and had not a care in the world. However, that blissful life soon came to a crashing halt one night when a fire broke out on the Arkwright estate. It spread quickly and it didn’t take long for the whole estate to be ravaged by the flames. The origin of the fire was never discovered, and there were rumors of foul play at hand, but nothing was ever conclusively proven.
Young Caelia was rescued by one of the staff members and survived the affair, albeit suffered major burns. Her parents, however, did not survive the ordeal and left Caelia an orphan. Traumatized and in a state of shock, Caelia did not speak for over a year. Many tried to break through to her, but she was silent, detached and gave no response. It was only after a man named Landon Atlas, a fellow hospital resident at the time, gifted her a Clefairy doll did someone finally broke through to her; she cried. Shortly after that, the two began talking and bonding. Landon himself had recently lost someone dear to him; his younger daughter, Charlotte. The two sought to fill the void of what they had recently lost in one another.
As it turned out that nobody in the Arkwright family wanted to take up the ordeal of raising a troubled young girl, Landon Atlas offered to adopt young Caelia, which Caelia was agreeable with. However, who was not agreeable with the arrangement was none other than Cassandra Stern, Landon Atlas’ wife. She believed that Caelia was nothing more than a replacement for Charlotte and was disgusted by the notion. Landon Atlas disagreed. So much so that he filed divorce papers. Once those were filed and the two were divorced, Landon Atlas promptly adopted Miss Caelia. But while Caelia was happy to be in the care of someone she trusted and grown fond of, she still feels like she was the reason for their divorce and carries that guilt.
Time passed on and while Landon Atlas didn’t come from old money, he certainly had money to spend. Caelia went to the best of schools, wore the best of clothes, and had whatever she wanted. She always had a strong interest in fairy type Pokemon, which led to her end up taking the mantle of gym leader in Tourmaline Town. Her adoptive father, being a gym leader himself, was ecstatic and proud. It is still only her second year as a gym leader, but she has done well so far.
Despite coming from the same family that owns it and the location being nearby, Caelia has never been to the Arkwright Mansion and grew up on a separate estate. Being a new gym leader, she has only recently started to get to know her fellow Starre gym leaders, but she has notably become quite friendly with Phoebe, despite their opposite personalities.

Name: Matteo Carter Age: 25 Gender: Man. He/him. Appearance: Standing 6’0’’, Matteo has black hair and deep brown eyes. His skintone is a cool shade of brown and he is very fit, most notably in his arms. He is frequently seen in his athletic attire, some combination of sleeveless top and shorts. He has a pair of reading glasses he has when needed. Role: Fighting Gym Leader Personality: Matteo is an earnest, albeit awkward guy who has a deep love for Pokemon. Pokemon come easy to Matteo; people are more of a challenge. Matteo struggles with confidence and has self-esteem issues, having gotten the latter from years of bullying in his primary years. Matteo’s own view of himself has improved over the years ever since he took up boxing, but it still has room to grow.
Although awkward and easily flustered, Matteo is a good guy and very loyal. He has a general positive attitude and is supportive of new trainers. He often gets himself caught up trying to “act cool” and ends up floundering. He is a loving older brother and likes to help out at home when he is there.
Background: Matteo is the eldest son of three and comes from a middle-class family. Growing up, Matteo had an acute interest in Pokemon. He could tell you endless obscure facts about various Pokemon and enjoyed doing so. Unfortunately, his peers were not nearly as impressed. Being a PokeManiac, Matteo didn’t have many friends growing up in his school years.
Believing that it was his image that was the problem, Matteo turned to the gym to bulk up. With luck, he’ll have friends in no time, maybe even a girlfriend! But instead of friends, Matteo found himself approached by a man who encouraged him to take up boxing, as he thought the young man had potential. Matteo had never considered boxing before, but took up the man’s offer and hired him as his coach. His coach’s observations proved to be accurate, as Matteo did have a knack for boxing. While still a rookie, Matteo went through long, arduous training with some of the best fighters in Topaz City to master his craft. Soon enough, Matteo was doing well enough that he started scoring bigger and better gigs.
In between his own training sessions, Matteo spent a lot of time battling and training with his Pokemon. While he liked all types of Pokemon, fighting types were the ones he found himself the most around and connected well with. Alongside his boxing training, Matteo spent time training as an underling for the Topaz City gym. One day, the gym leader decided to retire, and chose Matteo as his replacement. Matteo accepted the offer and soon began gaining notoriety as both a boxer and gym leader.
While he’s gained friends since taking up boxing, he still hasn’t gotten that girlfriend yet…

Name: “Granny” Mae Jensen Age: 76 Gender: Woman. She/her. Appearance: A wrinkly old woman with sharp green eyes and dark eyebrows. She has her white hair pinned up in a neat bun. She’s a fan of pearls, and can be seen wearing pearl earrings and a pearl bracelet. She wears a light purple top with a darker indigo sweater over it with a long gray skirt that reaches to the floor. She can be frequently seen with a black cane that she uses for support. Role: Dark Gym Leader Personality: At first glance, Granny Mae is a kind, gentle old woman with a warm smile to greet you with. Underneath the surface though, the scenery begins to darken. In truth, Granny Mae is a calm, clever and crafty woman. Spending most of her years doing whatever she had to survive, Granny Mae knows what it takes to make it in this world and has a rather hardened view of the world. She is cunning and a little manipulative at times, willing to bend the rules if need be. Ruthless and a force to be reckoned with, she gets what she wants, one way or another.
She uses the “sweet ol’ granny” façade to her advantage and tries to keep her true nature undisclosed. Everyone loves Granny Mae and her delicious cookies and Granny Mae likes that just fine.
Although mostly calm and collected, when not masking her true feelings and thoughts; she can have quite the temper and be snippy. She’s got a sharp tongue and isn’t afraid to call out a fool if the need arises.
Granny Mae has always been fond of dark type Pokemon, perhaps because their general disposition is so similar to hers. Granny Mae has found that she rather enjoys Pokemon battles and enjoys her time as a gym leader. She hates losing, though.
Background: Not much is known about Granny Mae and the details of her life. Granny herself doesn’t disclose much about her past nor does she entertain those who inquire about it. What is known is that Granny Mae herself is an immigrant – she came from another region from the west in her fourties. Rumors have it that she came to Starre after a tragedy of some kind. What kind of tragedy that was is anyone’s guess.
Once in Obsidian City, Granny Mae began work as a seamstress. She worked long, grueling hours but barley made enough to make by. It was during this time that crime was at an all time high in Obsidian City, and Granny Mae found her apartment broken into many times. But even so, she persisted and carried on.
One day, Granny Mae saw some children digging through the dumpsters looking for something to eat; a revolting sight. The next day, she found the same children again and invited them into her house, offering them cookies. Of course, the children were thrilled and happily chowed down. The next day, they came back and asked for more. Granny Mae obliged, happy to feed the children. However, soon more and more children would come by; hearing about an old lady’s delicious cookies that she gave away for free. Granny Mae barely had enough money to feed herself, let alone all these children. But she made do, even if it meant she had to get it through...unconventional, means.
Over time, these children grew up and soon became caught up in the city’s cycle of violence and crime. Granny Mae thought what they were doing was foolish. But while the children respected and liked her, she knew her influence on them could only reach them so far. But while she could not stop them from fighting and crime, the children did not forget what she did for them. Everyone agreed that Granny Mae’s house was off limits and a no-fighting zone. If anyone broke the code, there would be grave consequences.
In time, Granny Mae soon became a well-known and beloved figure of the community. Everyone knew her and loved her cookies. They were so popular, a businessman, one of the children she had fed all those years ago, approached her to help set up her own company. Soon, “Granny Mae’s Cookies” became a region-wide beloved brand. While many attempted to steal control and pull one over on Granny Mae, she was sharp enough to outwit them all.
But while Granny Mae was growing in success, her “kids” and Obsidian City as a whole was in a poor state of affairs and in some cases, a deadly one. Determined to find a better outlet for them, Granny Mae turned to Pokemon battles as a compromise. Instead of fighting one another, they could fight with their Pokemon. To help promote the idea, she petitioned for Obsidian City to have its own Pokemon gym, something that Obsidian City hasn’t had in years. The request was granted, but the gym needed a gym leader.
The first few years, a few of her “kids” tried their hand at being a gym leader, but they weren’t very good. Seeing that no one else had it in them, Granny Mae took it in her own hands and began battling professionally. She favored dark type Pokemon and found it to suit her quite well.

As you explore the world of Starre, you will have opportunities to interact with it. There are four main activities to do (that involve GMs): looking for & battling wild Pokemon, battling trainers, harvesting berries, and finding random items in the wild. The first two will be discussed in depth down below, but as for the latter two…
For every new area (most specifically routes, but some locations like forests, valleys, etc.) will have berry trees your character can harvest berries from. The type of tree is always pre-set, but how many berries you get is RNG based. You have to ask the GM for a “Berry Roll” and they’ll roll for you and tell you how many you get. You do this once per area and it’s a 1/10 roll.
For items, there are two types of rolls. One is the basic item roll and the other is the treasure item roll. The basic item roll is a list based on your highest tier Pokemon, while the treasure item roll is based on the location your character is in. You can roll up to twice for the basic item roll, and once for treasure roll. You then have your character “discover” said items in the wild. You can do this all at once or separately, up to you. But once rolled for the area, that is set until the next in-game day.
As you roleplay, make sure to tag me at the end of your post put a tl;dr “(@)GM, Berry or Basic/Treasure Item Roll please.” Or something similar at the bottom cause even if you have it in your post that your character is looking for berries/items, I might miss that.

This rp heavily uses RNG to determine outcomes of most of the things. A GM is the one who rolls it for the players and logs the results & informs the players (which they then write out).
Example: Players A & B go into an area for exploration and are looking for Pokemon. In the next post, GM rolls how many Pokemon will appear, what tier they will be, and once the tier is decided, what Pokemon will show up and what their mood will be (Calm or Hostile). Let’s break it down further.
Number of Pokemon Roll: 1-5. 1 is single battle, two is double. If it’s a 3+ group, you must pick one and the rest will disperse. If you have a group of 5, the GM rolls for all of you and each of you can take on one of the Pokemon in the group of 5.
Tiers: Pokemon are broken down into tiers. Technically there are 5, but mostly it’s going to be just three. Each tier consists of 20 levels per. Tier 1 is level 1-20, Tier 2 is level 21-40, Tier 3 is level 41-60, Tier 4 is level 61-80, and Tier 5 is level 81-100.
Tier Roll: For this, it’s a 1-10 roll. Rolling a 1 being the pull that gets you a Pokemon above your tier (so for the beginning, this would be Tier 2 and 3). Rolling a 2-10 gets you a same-tier Pokemon. So there is a 10% chance of coming across a Pokemon that is substantially stronger than you.
Pokemon Selection: Each area has its own selection of Pokemon that can show up (tiers and time of day as additional factors to consider). Roll between the list (which should be numbered) and whichever number rolls out is that respective Pokemon. For large groups, the GM can decide if it’s all one type of Pokemon (ex: 5 Marills) or different individual Pokemon in the group. If they choose the latter, the GM must roll for each one. In the section of the OOC page where the Pokemon are listed with their locations, there is a number attached to their names that will be the number you need to pull to get it. So in a place where there are 10 Pokemon total for that tier, and Chansey is a 7, you must roll a 7 to get the Chansey to appear.
Mood Roll: 50% chance roll (1/2) of if they’re calm or hostile. For groups, the rolled mood applies to ALL of them. If they’re calm, the players get guaranteed first hit. If they’re hostile, the wild Pokemon get guaranteed first hit for the first turn.
Level: For same-tier rolls, the wild Pokemon will always be the same level as the weakest Pokemon in your party. For group rolls, this will be the weakest Pokemon of the trainers in their group. For higher tier rolls, the Pokemon will always be 20-40 levels higher than your weakest Pokemon.
Gender Roll: Roll for gender. Only applies to Pokemon that can be of either female or male gender. Genderless and Pokemon of a single gender line do not apply for this.
Shiny Chance: 1/30 roll for every individual encounter. 1 being the number that gets you the shiny. If these end up too common, I'll lower the odds.
Catch Rate: At full health, a Pokemon has 1/10 chance of being caught. A GM runs the numbers between 1 through 10, if it pulls a 1 then it’s caught. If the player spends time to fight & lower the health of the Pokemon, then it goes down to 1/5th chance. GM sets the numbers between 1 through 5, and if it rolls a 1 then its caught.
The Pokemon’s nature is something the player can decide one once caught.
In this RP, Pokemon are grouped into things called “Tiers.” Tiers are determined by your level and have a set amount of HP.
Level 1-20, 5 HP = Tier 1 Level 21-40, 10 HP = Tier 2 Level 41-60, 15 HP = Tier 3 Level 61-80, 20 HP = Tier 4 Level 81-100, 25 HP = Tier 5 (likely not gonna be used, but just for reference).
There may be certain exceptions to this (certain...opponents, perhaps) but very few.
Pokemon moves that deal damage are categorized by Rank. There are 4 Ranks.
Rank 1: Features damage moves with up to 60 damage from the games. Hits for 1 base HP. Rank 2: Features damage moves from 60 - 95 damage from the games. Hits for 2 base HP. Rank 3: Features damage moves from 100-150 damage from the games. Hits for 3 base HP. Rank 4: Features only the moves Explosion and Self-Destruct.
Tier 1 Pokemon ONLY use Rank 1 moves. Tier 2 Pokemon can use Rank 1 or Rank 2 moves. Tier 3 Pokemon can use Rank 1, 2, or 3 moves. Tier 4 can use all Rank moves.
This goes with the idea in mind that both Pokemon are on the same tier as one another (and close in levels). Tier 1 Pokemon have 5 “health points.” Each successful attack (barring a few exceptions) removes 1 health point from the other Pokemon.
Battle begins. It’s 1 on 1. GM rolls first to decide who goes first. First Strike Roll: 50/50 chance between either parties. This is done at the beginning of EACH turn. Once that is decided, the person to go first writes a post about their initial attack. Once they’re done & posted it, GM then must roll for the other person if they can successfully dodge the attack or not. Notable Exception: If it’s a Wild Pokemon battle and the enemies are calm, players get first attack guaranteed. If they’re hostile, the wild Pokemon get first attack guaranteed. Dodge Roll: 1/5 chance. Numbers are 1 through 5. If your roll is number one, you can successfully dodge the attack. Getting 2-5 will do nothing for you. If they roll a one, the other person can successfully dodge it. Otherwise, their Pokemon loses 1 health point. Rinse and repeat until one person’s Pokemon get down to 0 health points and faints.
Status Conditions: Moves that have guaranteed status infliction are always guaranteed. Any attack/Pokemon ability that has a chance at status infliction (usually as a secondary effect), the GM must roll for it for each move. Abilities like Synchronize obviously don’t need this and will be automatic. Status Condition Roll: 1/5. 1 Being successful in afflicting, 2-5 being not.
Poison: Once afflicted, it reduces your Pokemon’s HP by .5 points for every turn. No chance for it to be miraculously healed. Use an item or move to remove it. In cases such as Toxic, I’m currently setting so it starts out with .5 HP loss in the initial turn, and increases by .5 HP points of damage each turn. If that ends up too harsh/brutal, I’ll amend it, so it just poisons regularly.
Burn: Once afflicted, it reduces your Pokemon’s HP by .5 points for every turn. No chance for it to be miraculously healed. Use an item or move to remove it.
Paralyze: Each turn, you have a 1/4 chance of failing to attack. Getting a 1 means you are successfully paralyzed, 2-4 is safe. No chance for it to be miraculously healed. Use an item or move to remove it.
Sleep: Once afflicted, your Pokemon will have to roll for a chance to wake up, otherwise they can’t do any action (they’re asleep). For the first turn they are afflicted, it’s 1/5 chance, 1 being the number that means they can wake up. For the next turn, those odds are reduced to 1/4, next turn is 1/3, next turn is 1/2, and if by the next turn they still haven’t rolled a 1; they automatically wake up.
Freeze: Same as sleep, just with freezing.
Confusion: Once afflicted, your Pokemon will have a 1/4 chance of failing to attack, and instead hurting themselves in confusion. Getting a 1 means the attack failed and they hurt themselves in confusion, getting 2-4 is safe. After the first turn they are afflicted, they must additionally roll to remove the Confusion status. It’s 1/3 chance (1 being the number for snapping out of it, 2-3 for continuing the confusion state) and if by the fourth turn they haven’t rolled a 1, they automatically snap out of the confusion state. The cost for hurting oneself in confusion is.5 HP loss (for Tier 1 Pokemon).
Flinch: For moves that have the side effect of flinching, it’s a 50% chance (1/2 roll) of flinching and not being able to attack that turn.
Infatuation: Once afflicted, your Pokemon has a 50% chance (1/2 roll) of being “immobilized by love” each turn and not attack. This does not magically go away and lasts the whole battle.
For the most part stats aren’t going to be too heavy into play as it’s mostly RNG. But here are a few amendments that should hopefully make them not entirely useless.
For moves that increase attack/sp attack, every time you use the move you can roll for a chance at increasing your Pokemon’s power by half. Instead of inflicting 1 health point base damage per attack, you inflict 1.5 HP base damage. But it’s a 1/5 chance roll and not guaranteed success (Currently, I may change that depending on what move is being used). It can be rolled again for a chance at inflicting 2 HP base damage but that’s the highest it will go.
For moves that decrease the opponent’s attack/sp attack, you roll for the chance of debuffing them so they only inflict half damage. If the stat is initially standard (-1 per attack) but was successfully rolled for debuff, they’d only do -.5 damage to you. It can be rolled again for a chance at -.25 damage but that’s the lowest it’ll go.
Note: “Base” damage refers to the innate damage a Pokemon does at their respective tier. Tier 1 Pokemon = 1 damage. This does NOT include type advantage/disadvantage bonuses, stat buffs/debuffs, or the type match up bonus (where the Pokemon has the same type as the move being used).
For moves that increase defense/sp defense, it’s the same as decreasing the opponents’ attack/sp attack; they just get halved. Lowest it’ll get to is -.25 HP damage.
For moves that decrease defense/sp defense, it’s the same as increasing your attack/sp attack; the attack value increases by .25. Highest you can go to is -2 HP damage.
Increasing/decreasing speed determines who goes first/last in the next turn. If your Pokemon increases their speed, they’re guaranteed to go first in the next turn PROVIDED that the opponent doesn’t also increase their speed. If they do, then it’s back to RNG roll (assuming they’re the same stage level). This effect stays and maxes out at Stage 5. Getting your speed reduced means your going last (provided again, that the opponent doesn’t get their speed reduced as well. If they do, roll time). The person with the highest speed stage can keep going first in the following turns. If both are the same level, they must roll.
Increasing YOUR accuracy translates to your OPPONENT having a lower chance of dodging your attacks. Their dodge roll goes from 1/5 to 1/6 and goes up to 1/7 max. Getting YOUR accuracy reduced means the OPPONENT has a higher chance of dodging your attacks. Their dodge roll goes from 1/5 to 1/4 and goes up to 1/3 max.
Moves that have secondary effects that result in the gain/loss of stats also must roll for it. 1/5 chance, 1 being the result that means they don’t lose anything if it’s a debuffer roll and 2-5 means they gain the penalty. If it’s a buffer roll, then 1 means they gained the stat increase and 2-5 means they gain nothing.
Effective moves get .5 HP bonus Least effective moves get halved by .5 HP Same typing gets .5 HP bonus Effective & same typing boost get total of +1HP damage (added onto base damage) Same typing but least effective just get +.5HP Example: Torchic uses Ember on Rowlet. Both are Tier 1 Pokemon. Ember is both Effective & Same Type move as Torchic. So instead of doing just 1 HP damage, they do 2 HP damage. If Torchic used Peck on Rowlet instead, Torchic would just get effective bonus instead, as Torchic isn’t a flying type. Torchic would do 1.5 HP damage instead of the normal 1 HP damage. If Totodile used Water Gun on Rowlet, it would be a least effective move. But they do get the same type bonus. So they would still do just 1 HP of damage (+5 bonus, -5 penalty cancel each other out) If Tadbulb used Water Gun on Rowlet, it would be a least effective move with no type bonus. So it’d do just .5 HP damage instead of the base 1 HP damage.
After the battle, loser coughs up about 1/4th of their money to the winner. Just multiple your current amount by “.25”. NPC battles will have fixed monetary amounts.
In regards to battling stronger tiered Pokemon…concept is essentially the same. Just the stronger tiered Pokemon have about 5-10 more health points and hit harder than you do so the chances of successfully winning are very low.
Quick battles are just as it’s written on the tin – a quick battle. It’s primarily for leveling, whether you battle non-important NPC trainers or wild Pokemon. You can mostly do quick/freeform battling just to say you did it. You don’t need to do any rolls for that. No shinies for wild mons in quick battles.
In PVP fights (NOT quick battles), levels are gained every 2 individual battles or for every 2 individual Pokemon defeated = level up. So, taking on a fellow player (or designated NPC) in a battle with a full team will net you 3 levels (6 mons total = 3 levels). Meanwhile, for quick battles it doesn’t matter how many Pokemon are on the team: you only get 1 experience point for the whole thing (and you need 3 to level up).
It would take 2 separate quick battle posts to get 1 level up compared to the PVP full team fight = 2 levels. Regular battles are more intensive so hence the reason why.
Fortunately, the equivalent of EXP share is a thing. The whole team gets the same experience gain of whichever Pokemon did the battling. You don’t have to grind them up individually.
First Strike Roll: Pick one of the participants and roll for them (1/2). If they get a 2, they go last. If they get a 1, they go first. List results here & the battling Pokemon’s Current Status Info blocks.
(Pokemon #1) HP Amount: 5 HP points for fully health Tier 1 Pokemon Type: Just in case people forget. Gender: In case Attract is used or ability with charm effect. Level: Doesn’t really do anything except determine Tier. But good to list it. Ability: Listed in the Pokemon’s profile. Held Item: Keep in mind of held item as you’re doing calculations & stuff. Condition: The Pokemon’s status condition. Leave “Fine” for the beginning move and update it with the proper condition once a status inflicting move has been successful. Attack: Stage 0 at start. Increase/decrease if buffed/debuffed. Sp Attack: Stage 0 at start. Increase/decrease if buffed/debuffed. Defense: Stage 0 at start. Increase/decrease if buffed/debuffed. Sp Defense: Stage 0 at start. Increase/decrease if buffed/debuffed. Speed: Stage 0 at start. Increase/decrease if buffed/debuffed. Accuracy: Stage 0 start. Increase/decrease if buffed/debuffed.
(Pokemon #2 – Beginning HP Amount) HP Amount: 5 HP points for fully health Tier 1 Pokemon Type: Just in case people forget. Gender: In case Attract is used or ability with charm effect. Level: Doesn’t really do anything except determine Tier. But good to list it. Ability: Listed in the Pokemon’s profile. Held Item: Keep in mind of held item as you’re doing calculations & stuff. Condition: The Pokemon’s status condition. Leave “Fine” for the beginning move and update it with the proper condition once a status inflicting move has been successful. Attack: Stage 0 at start. Increase/decrease if buffed/debuffed. Sp Attack: Stage 0 at start. Increase/decrease if buffed/debuffed. Defense: Stage 0 at start. Increase/decrease if buffed/debuffed. Sp Defense: Stage 0 at start. Increase/decrease if buffed/debuffed. Speed: Stage 0 at start. Increase/decrease if buffed/debuffed. Accuracy: Stage 0 start. Increase/decrease if buffed/debuffed.
Is the move super effective? If so, add +.5 HP to base damage (1 for Tier 1 Pokemon). Is the move least effective? If so, reduce -.5 HP from base damage. Is the move the same type as the Pokémon? If so, add +.5 HP to base damage. Does the move have any secondary effects? Status condition chances? Chances for stat buffs/debuffs? Roll for those and list the results if so.
Is the status infliction guaranteed? If so, it’s successful and you must list that result. If not, roll for it. 1/5 chance. 1 means it’s successful, 2-5 means failure. List results.
Is the stat debuff/buff guaranteed? If so, list the result and update the status of the Pokemon affected. If not, roll for it. 1/5 chance. 1 means it’s successful, 2-5 means failure. List the result and update the status of the Pokemon affected.
You must now do a Dodge Roll for Player #2. 1/5 chance. 1 being successful (they successfully dodge the attack), 2-5 being failure (and the attack lands). If in the previous turn, Player #1 used a move that increased accuracy, then Player #2’s Dodge Roll turns into 1/6 chance roll.
Copy and Paste the Battle information post from Start of Turn now with updated information. Remember to consider Held Item & Ability as you’re doing calculations. Include the new HP for Player #2’s Pokemon if they failed the dodge roll. If the dodge roll was successful, they do not take damage and their HP stays intact.
Rinse and repeat above (but with players switched) and the first turn ends. However, if nobody increased/decreased speed of either Pokemon; you must roll for First Strike Roll again for the next turn.
Rinse and repeat all of these steps until someone’s Pokemon reaches 0 HP.

A tentative list of Pokemon moves that are modified for the RP. Please, check out here.
There are three phases to a contest: 1. Introduction Round – Aka “Dressup Round.” Part of the contest where a character dress up their Pokemon in a costume and walk down the runway as they are evaluated based on their sheen & general appearance. Max of 20 points in this category (25 if you have a colored scarf equipped/on).
2. Dancing Round – Part of the contest where the Pokemon (in costume) all dance to one song and are evaluated on their performance. Each character gets 3 rolls of either success or fail (50% chance) and their rolls determines how well their Pokemon performs. Max of 15 points (5 per successful roll).
3. Talent Round – Part of the contest where Pokemon show off their moves to gain points or sabotage other contestants. There are four subrounds total.
Sheen is the Pokemon’s condition. Basically how cute/tough/beautiful/clever/cool they look. Each sheen category has a cap of 20 points (barring the extension of the colored scarves your Pokemon can hold which will increase it by 5). There is no limit to the amount of sheen points you can accumulate. You increase your Pokemon’s sheen with either pokeblocks or poffins.
After the Introduction and Dancing Rounds, the Pokemon with the highest (collective) points leads the Talent Round. After that, the lead is based on whoever is doing the best in the Talent Round (barring any move that deigns participation order).
1. A Pokemon must have 4 moves in order to participate in contests.
2. If a move is newer (like gen 8-9) and doesn’t have a contest description associated with it, I’m going to ask that you find another move from the Pokemon’s Movebank to substitute it for the contests. If you have no backup moves, I’ll give you a freebie TM pick of your choice.
3. There needs to be four participants per contests (and at least one person acting as a judge and co-GM and collecting points/doing rolls). Sometimes, we can’t always get the right amount of actual characters to participate, so to encourage people to help out…if you play as a NPC participant you’ll get rewarded (your respective character will be “anonymously gifted” goodies to use in the rp) helping out.
4. You only need to win one ribbon in a lower rank to go to the next rank. It doesn’t need to be from the same category either. Ex: If I win one cute contest in normal rank, I can go to the next rank (super) in a cool contest if I want to.
Each Contest Hall in the Starre region has its own rank attached to it. The rankings are as followed:
Amethyst Town – Normal Ranked Contests
Diaspore City – Super Ranked Contests
Emerald City – Hyper Ranked Contests
Diamond City – Master Ranked Contests
Poffins are baked goodies you give to your Pokemon to improve their sheen. The difference between Poffins and Pokeblocks is that Poffins are made by berries of the same flavors while Pokeblocks are made by berries of the same color. They both give the same effects.
You need 4 berries to make a poffin. There are two strengths of poffins, there are regular poffins and strong poffins. Regular pokeblocks and regular poffins give you 1 point of sheen in a category. Pokeblocks+ and strong poffins give you 2+ points.
To get Strong Poffins, you must mix 4 strong berries together. Not 1:3, 2:2, or 3:1 on the normal:strong ratio. All strong. If you mix any of those combinations, you’ll just get a regular poffin.
Filler berries. There are 2-3 filler berries that don’t have a particular flavor (Kee, Maranga, and Hopo). If you put one in a lineup, it’ll count as a filler for whatever the major flavor is (ex: 3 Tamato, 1 Hopo will get you one Strong Spicy Poffin). If you do all 4 berries as filler berries you get…a random flavor poffin of your choice. All filler berries are “strong” berries.
Mixed Poffins If you mix 2 stronger berries with 2 other stronger berries you get a Mixed Strong Poffin. Ex: 2 Tamato + 2 Cornn = 1 Strong Spicy-Dry Poffin. Mixed poffins only have two flavors and you can only do this for strong poffins, not regular ones.
If you mix 4 berries that are all ones with 3+ flavors (Ex: Pomeg is Spicy, Sweet, and Bitter)...just pick a flavor for the poffin, mixed or single flavor.
You can harvest berries, buy berries, or be gifted berries as part of a reward but you must have the correct amount of berries when making pokeblocks/poffins.
Pokeblocks are flavorful little candies that you give to your Pokemon to improve their sheen. The difference between Poffins and Pokeblocks is that Poffins are made by berries of the same flavors while Pokeblocks are made by berries of the same color. They both give the same effects.
Like with Poffins, you need 4 berries to make a pokeblock. There are two strengths of pokeblocks: regular pokeblocks and pokeblocks+. Regular pokeblocks and regular poffins give you 1 point of sheen in a category. Pokeblocks+ and strong poffins give you 2+ points. We won’t be doing rainbow pokeblocks. Unlike poffins, you cannot mix colors for pokeblocks.
To get Pokeblocks+ you have to roll for it. Odds are 1/4, 1 being the winning number.

For each subround of the Talent Round, each Pokemon displays/uses a move and shows off their respective (trait)ness. You get points based on what kind of move it is.
Each move gives a certain amount of red hearts that serve as points. Some moves are designed to sabotage other contestants, and “jam” their performance (startles them). Those moves have a certain amount of black hearts attached to them and those are the amount of points that is decreased on the Pokemon they successfully sabotage. Sometimes, this can lead to negative points for a Pokemon for that round.
Points are collectively counted each subround and determine the order for the next subround (barring moves that put them in the front/last of the line). The total amount of points are documented for the Talent Round and combined with the Introduction and Dance Rounds. The Pokemon with the most points is the winner. The winner of the contest will receive a ribbon + prize(s).
Sometimes a Pokemon will use a move and start a combo. By using one move in one subround turn and following it up with a specific move in the next subround turn, they can earn +3 extra points. Here is a list of the potential combo move pairings.
Moves that pump up the users upgrades their condition. For each condition level they have per turn, they get an increased number of hearts. If you have lvl 1 condition you get +1 heart. Lvl 2 condition gets +2 hearts, etc. etc. Max level of condition is 3.
Moves that cause opponents to “lose” energy remove that condition level (if they have lvl 2, just would remove one level for that turn).
We will be using the Crowd Excitement mechanic. It can be raised/lowered based on what kind of move your Pokemon makes. For example, in beauty contests, a beauty move will increase it. Cool/cute moves will do nothing in beauty contests. While clever/tough moves will lower it in beauty contests. I've listed the move compatibility chart below.
With the successful raising of the Excitement Meter, your Pokemon gets an additional point per round. This does not include moves like Whirlpool which stops the crowd from getting more excited. When the Excitement Meter is maxed out (which takes 5 successful points to get to), your Pokemon gets an additional +5 points (plus the +1 extra point they get for raising the meter).
Performing the same move twice will lead to loss in points and loss in the Crowd Excitement Meter.
Moves that say “good as the Pokemon before it performed” get the same number of hearts as the person before them plus 1 (not counting if the extra excitement meter point + any condition levels points).
"Makes the audience quickly grow bored when an appeal move has little effect." – A Pokemon will lose 2 hearts instead of just 1 when it uses a move that is deemed unappealing in a contest.
"Badly startles Pokémon that the audience has high expectations of." – Badly startles any Pokemon with a pending combo and disrupts it.
"Makes audience expect little of other contestants." – Breaks any combos pending.
“Effectiveness varies depending on when it is used.” – Not sure how it works in the games, but here it’ll just mean randomized points (you can get 1-8 possible points).
Located in the center of Starre region. Although large in size, most of the actual residential part of the town makes up only about half of the area. The rest are mostly large fields that belong to the Institute. The Institute of Beryl Town is the largest of its kind in the region and home to many Pokemon owned by various trainers. The fortifications of the Institute’s property are well kept and there have been no complaints from the Beryl Town residents in regard to the Pokemon there. Other than the Institute, there is the Starre Academy, a prestigious school for Pokemon trainers. It is tradition in the Starre region every year to hold a ceremony for the beginning of the Championship League season and to give trainers a Pokemon egg; a symbol of a new beginning and potential.
A rural town in the south full of farmers. It has lately gained a rise in popularity due to the efforts of its local gym leader, one of Starre’s most iconic influencers. The Peridot Gym is full of bug type Pokemon and a common early stop for trainers planning to take on the League
.
A bustling city in the south, Zircon’s major business lies in steel. At the head of the steel industry, is the tycoon Kouki Ito. Decades ago, he came to Starre from the east and set up business here, forever changing the face and progress of Zircon City. Kouki Ito is also the leader of the Zircon City gym, which specializes in steel Pokemon.
A large, grimy city full of smog and pollution from the local factories. The city is full of rampant crime, corruption, and gang activity. Years ago, it was much worse. It was only due to the influence and efforts of one Granny Mae that Obsidian City started to clean up its act. The city is split up into three districts; the center district being the safest (and nicest looking) of the three and the one that tourists are recommended to go to. The other two are full of gang territories, with battles breaking out there being a regular thing.
Due to Granny Mae’s influence, most Obsidian City gang members keep their illicit activities in the West or East Districts; Central District is a “neutral” zone and Granny Mae’s turf. And nobody crosses Granny Mae. But if that is not enough, visitors can rent Pokemon to protect them from criminals – for a price. At the heart of the Central District is Granny Mae Headquarters, home of Granny Mae’s famous cookies, which also serves as Obsidian City’s local Pokemon gym. Granny Mae is the gym leader and she’s proficient in dark types.
A small town to the west. Amethyst Town biggest name to itself is its Contest Hall, which is home to its Normal Rank Pokemon Contests. Otherwise, it’s simply your average-run-of-the-mill-town.

Aquila, numerous tours and tour guides of the mountain can be found here. Diaspore City also has its Contest Hall, home to Starre’s Super Rank Pokemon Contests.
Diamond City is the city of all cities. Stars are made and born here; many of them live here. Massive in size, the city lies between Mt. Cygnus and Mt. Corvus. It is said to be one of the oldest cities in the Starre region, built on top of the ancient ruins of its predecessor. A large metropolitan, Diamond City has multiple stadiums spread throughout, with the biggest being the Central Stadium. All five stadiums are used during the yearly Pokemon Championship League. Next to the Central Stadium is the Diamond City Contest Hall, where Starre’s Master Rank Pokemon Contests are held.
A large city in the north. Powered by the wind turbines in the Windy Valley, Alexandrite City is a bustling, vibrant city. As it lies as a connector between Victory Road and Diamond City, the Ophiuchus Canyon, and Emerald City; it’s a popular town for travelers and trainers alike. Alexandrite’s gym is home to dragon type Pokemon, and it’s building is instead a large dome where dragons and their trainers train.
A beautiful, vibrant city; Topaz City is the number one stop for travelers on the western side of Starre. It’s popular for its beautiful sandy beaches and deep blue waters. Unfortunately, its tourism has gone downhill over the years due to the increased pollution coming down from Obsidian City. Besides its beaches, Topaz City is famous for its fighting arena; the Combat Dome, where both Pokemon and people alike spar. Warriors of all different kinds come to Topaz City to train and show off their skill. Topaz’s gym is home to fighting type Pokemon, located in the center of the city not too far away from the Combat Dome.
If the arts are more your thing, then look no further for the "Under the Sea Theater” in the city. There, they do many themed water shows, including underwater ballet and underwater theater. Home of the famous songstress and Elite Four Member Serena Waters.
To the east of Starre and along the coast of the Eastern Starry Sea, is none other than the glistening Emerald City. Famous for its picturesque beaches and gorgeous scenery, it is one of the top ten of Starre’s tourist destinations next to Diamond City and Amber City. For things to do, look no further than Emerald’s City Contest Hall where Hyper Rank Pokemon Contests can be found. At Emerald City’s docks, one can usually find the S.S. Nereid; Starre’s number one cruise ship.
The most popular city in the Three Islands. Located on Mother Island, it’s a famous tourist trap. It has stunning tropical beaches and clear blue ocean waters, many of which can be seen from Amber City’s local amusement park. It is also home to a Pokemon Gym that focuses on rock-type Pokemon (many of which can be found at Mother Island Park).
A small sleepy town to the south of Starre. Not much happens in this town, the most exciting attraction is usually cited to be its Pokemon Gym. Its gym leader, Caelia Arkwright has recently taken up the helm as gym leader and specializes in fairy type Pokemon.
A small, quiet town on Maiden Island. It is a common stop for tourists who want a more “relaxing” vacation experience. Many of the residents living there work at the Maiden Island Reserve Park.
A small, but busy town on Crone Island. Tourists come through there on their way to Mt. Hekatea. Tour guides of Mt. Hekatea can be found at Coral Town. There is a large berry farm next to the town that sells berries.

There are rumors of a hidden door that leads underground, and the ruins are said to go much further there and at the end supposedly lies a great treasure.

Formerly called the S.S. Calypso, seventeen years ago, the cruise ship crashed into a large rock formation and damaged its hull and began to fill with water. All occupants on the ship were swiftly evacuated and no one was majorly injured, however, it occurred shortly after a previous catastrophe; the daughter of a famous actress went missing and was presumed to fall overboard. Many people began to spread the rumor that the cruise ship’s demise was due to the little girl’s ghost cursing the vessel, and so nobody wanted to go near the ship.
But just as the owner of the S.S. Calypso finally found a crew willing to dismantle and salvage the ship for the parts; ecological groups swiftly stepped in and said they could not interfere with the ship as it had become home to many rare and protected Pokemon in that time frame. No one could legally touch the ship without facing serious penalty; so, it was promptly abandoned. Although it technically stands semi-afloat now (stuck between large rocks), it’s predicted to breakdown and sink at some point in the coming years.

There are many gangs in Obsidian City, but the two biggest ones are the Blue Houndooms in the West District and the Red Skuntanks in the East District. Most of their crimes are self-contained to Obsidian City, as they’re usually too busy fighting each other for territory gains.
In the old days, the gang fighting had a death toll and all the streets of Obsidian City were equally. But ever since the gangs turned their feuding to strictly Pokemon battles and kept their fighting out of the Central District, Obsidian City has been relatively better off for it.
Starre region’s most iconic brand: Granny Mae’s Cookies. There is no place in Starre that doesn’t have some kind of advertisement for Granny Mae’s Cookies, be it television, radio, or billboards. The cookies are rather tasty, but there have been some criticisms of Granny Mae’s ruthless business tactics as well as her growing monopoly on the cookie industry. Those criticisms don’t tend to stick around for long, one way or another.
To catch a Pokemon with a Poke Ball, the Pokemon in question must accept the trainer and must agree to be caught. If the Poke Ball fails, it means the trainer was rejected. Thus, the Starre Region Institute has deemed the Master Ball unethical as it forces Pokemon to be captured, regardless of their consent or lack of. It is illegal to own or use Master Balls in the region of Starre.
The company Morpheus was founded only a couple years ago. One of its founders, Cassandra Stern, hired Dr. Silas Walter and invested in his Dream World research. From its fruition came the Dreamlink; technology that allows to manipulate and control one’s dreams via dream therapy. Using the dream therapy, patient’s nightmares have been heavily reduced and using the art of suggestion, have been shown to have improved moods, reduced depression, and enabling a better sense of awareness and control in one’s waking hours. In its current state, the Dreamlink’s dream therapy is currently very expensive, and only the wealthy can afford it, but efforts are allegedly being put in to allow it for the general public.
A festival in Beryl Town where the giving of Pokemon eggs occurs.

Nowadays, it is led by the Institute, who provide and give out the eggs.

Many of their students often end up taking up the Starre Region Gym Challenge and take on the Starre League. Some have even managed to challenge the champion, in some years. The Academy work closely with the Institute and many of the faculty at the Institute work as teachers of the Academy or, more often, guest speakers.
Starre’s Championship League is a yearly tournament that only lasts for a couple of days, but is preceded by the “Championship League season;” a time frame of a couple months where trainers are given time to prepare for the Starre Championship League. For some trainers that involves taking on the Gym Challenge first, but many often have already finished their Gym Challenge and merely must prepare for the League itself.
The League is split up into two parts. The first part, participants must challenge all four of the Elite Four members. The order is random. After successfully defeating all four, the participants must face off each other until one is left standing, who will then go onto challenge the Starre’s champion: the Starry Prince.

A notorious gang that showed up only a few years ago. Their crimes mostly include Pokemon stealing, general thievery, and use of force to cause general mayhem. No one is quite sure what the actual goal is of Team Sleep, but what is known is that their crimes and general numbers have rapidly increased over the years. Their name was not self-chosen, but rather one given by the media for their crime tactics: putting Pokemon and people to sleep and committing crimes before they awake. These individuals can be seen masked (whether in a regular mask or a gas mask) and only the few that have been caught have been identified.
The Starre Region Institute is a collective academic institution spread across the region in many locations. The primary goal is to study Pokemon and cultivate a positive relationship between Pokemon and humans. The Institute Labs also serves as the primary Pokemon Storage and Transfer System for trainers in the Starre region. There are a total of seven Institute Labs across the Starre region. Their locations include: Amethyst Town, Beryl Town, Diaspore City, Diamond City, Emerald City, and Pearl Town. Beryl Town is the largest location.
Roughly seventeen years ago, six-year-old Charlotte Atlas-Stern, daughter of famous opera singer Cassandra Stern and business man Landon Atlas, went missing on the S.S. Calypso. The cruise ship was far along the Starry Sea and came to a crashing stop when the girl was announced missing. But by the time she was reported gone, the girl was nowhere to be found. The coast guard did find evidence to suggest the girl was lost at sea. After days of searching and finding nothing, the young girl was determined dead, much to the grief of her parents.
But while the girl was deemed officially dead, the public (and her mother) believed that the girl might still be alive. Cassandra Stern paid good money to have Charlotte’s face plastered over every news channel, newspaper, and website in hopes of finding her daughter, whom she believed to simply be missing. But after a month of intense searching, the public’s energy in finding the lost girl quickly died down and people gave up. Everyone but Cassandra Stern deemed the girl dead.
A few months after the girl was deemed dead, both the press and the public deemed Cassandra Stern to be responsible for the daughter’s death. Prior to the tragedy, there were rumors that Miss Cassandra Stern abused young Charlotte, but no one took them seriously as Cassandra Stern was one of Starre’s biggest stars and could do no wrong. But after the tragedy, these accusations came into light and focus, and there were even accusations that Cassandra Stern may have even murdered her own daughter. But while this was a popular theory at the time and many called for justice on behalf of the little girl, there was never enough evidence to prosecute.
Time has since passed, and the memory of Miss Charlotte Atlas-Stern and the tragedy of her death is long gone. Cassandra Stern may not be Starre’s bright-eyed darling as she used to be, but her reputation has since recovered and she no longer has to deal with cruel accusations of abuse, neglect, or murder of her child. But the loss of her daughter will always haunt her.
Pokemon that are stored in the computers at Pokemon Centers are not stored electronically, but merely transported electronically to a select location where the Pokemon is kept, fed, taken care of, and is allowed to interact with other Pokemon (much like a Day Care, just no leveling up). To retrieve the Pokemon, the trainer must send in a request for the Pokemon at a Computer System in a location such as a Pokemon Center and the Poke Ball with their Pokemon in it will be transferred electronically (teleported) to them.
When capturing a Pokemon after reaching max capacity on hand, the Poke Ball in question is not immediately transported/teleported into the Storage System like in the games, but the trainer in question must register the Pokemon and store it manually the next time they’re in town. For the sake of simplicity, I’m just going to ask that you only use 6 and any extras on hand not be able for use until after you register them at the next town.
In Starre, it’s considered negligent and against the law to allow those under the age of 16 to travel around the region unsupervised by an adult. In Starre, most minors stay in school until the age of 16-18 where they then may begin their Pokemon journey. Not all choose to go right away, as many can’t afford it and often wait until a couple years later to do so.
Tempted to do a quest-like system, but at the very least this is where I will write up the current status of things. If I have time.
