Anyone have any character ideas already?
I have a few potential ideas. Which character I use kind of depends on how strong they're supposed to be.

Rule 3: Posting Length: Please keep posts between one and three paragraphs. This RP is in the casual category for a reason.
I'm going to break this rule so hard. I can be incredibly verbose, but I will try to cut down on that.
Well, here's my character, adapted from a previous Pokemon RP than fell through. The 3000 base state limit was more annoying than I thought, even though I knew that means a average base stat total of only 500; I had to change my team around a little to accommodate.
Touma’s quick retreat from the square had nothing to do with not wanting to be caught up in the argument between Kanna and Jasmine. It was simply a coincidence that he had taken the first opportunity he could to extricate himself from that situation and then left fast enough that neither girl could say anything to stop him. Or at least, that was his story and he was sticking with it.
It was never a smart idea to get between those two when they were like that; few people in the academy could stand up to Kanna’s iron will when she had made her mind up about something, but even she occasionally gave ground when Jasmine felt strongly enough to oppose her. Nothing good would come from him trying to add his own opinion into the mix, not that he had any strong feelings about the matter either way. Whatever the others decided to do about this partnering thing was fine with him; he would just go along with the decision and focus on his own duelling like he always had. So long as they didn’t end up making an alliance with the Synchro dorm.
Speaking of which…
Up ahead he could make out the backs of two other students, both wearing the signature white uniforms that marked out the members of the Synchro dorm from the other dorms; what’s more, judging by the blue and white hair the duo sported respectively, it was none other than the king douche himself and his second-in-command. Well, speak of the devil and he shall appear; of all the people he could have run into it would just have to be Masaru wouldn’t it?
Touma was just considering turning around and heading back the other direction when a sudden shout from off to the side stopped him. Evidently the other two had heard it as well, as they gave each other a quick look before rushing towards the noise. It was only at this point that Touma looked around and saw where he was; in his haste to leave the square, of his own accord and for no other reason, he had been walking in a random direction for a while now, somehow ending up on the path to the Earth dorm. How or why he had ended up here wasn’t important however, as he too rushed into the trees to investigate the noise.
Following the glimpses of white coats he saw through the foliage Touma arrived on the scene just in time to see a black coated figure pick a card up off the forest floor; though he couldn’t see his face the obnoxiously large and ridiculously shaped hair style gave them away immediately and Touma couldn’t keep the sneer off of his face as he recognised Keitaro. His presence, coupled with the scream, could only mean trouble; especially since he had had a nagging thought in the back of his mind for a while now that the scream had been familiar.
When he saw the person slumped against the tree Touma froze shock, though a rapidly rising anger meant he didn’t stay that way for long. “Keita!” If the blue blazer hadn’t given it away the mop of vivid red hair, the colour far livelier than the person it belonged to, definitely would have. Touma rushed towards his fallen dorm-mate, bumping Masaru aside in his haste, coming to a stop as he kneeled down next to Keita.
The smaller boys face was a mess of bruises, one eye swollen completely shut and his lip cut and bleeding; he was breathing heavily and hadn’t responded at all to his shout, but he seemed to be awake at least if a little out of it. Glancing down Touma could see that Keita’s duel disk was still active, though his deck had fallen out and his cards were scattered around him.
It didn’t take a genius to figure out what had happened here. Keitaro’s duelling style had always been a little excessive and it wasn’t rare for his opponents to walk away from a duel with him with a couple of bruises to show for it. Even so, he had never seen things go this far; although, that may have had something to do with the fact that all of the duels he had seen Keitaro fight had been in front of an audience. Away from the arena or the crowds, away from prying eyes, was this the kind of duellist Keitaro was?
Standing up suddenly Touma spun to face Keitaro, who was still looming behind them. He grabbed a handful of the other student’s shirt and pulled him forward to snarl in his face, ignoring the fact that the other buy stood a couple of inches taller than him. “What the hell do you think you’re doing, punk?”

Yeah, NPC is kind of a misnomer. They are side characters controlled by the player.
@Balthazar007 Any word on the progress of the RP thread for this?
“Hey, you need to stop moving around so much. You’re really hurt so just stay still and let me heal you.” At least, Oberon thought the Slime was injured. It was kind of hard to tell since the hole that had been blown in the side of the gelatinous mass had already closed up, leaving not even a burn mark as proof of what had just happened. Regardless of what it looked like however, the fact was an explosion had just occurred inside the Slime, so it was probably missing a few hit points.
Holding a hand out in front of the Slime, Oberon focused his mana and cast Minor Heal on the creature. It was hard to tell if it was having any effect, in the same way that it was difficult to tell if the Slime was injured in the first place; the blob just didn’t really… change much. There were no cuts knitting back together or bruises faded to indicate that he was actually doing anything worthwhile any more so than it he had cast his skill on a rock.
Oberon activated his Magic Analysis as he stared at the creature, whose name he should probably ask for at some point, hoping that the newly upgraded skill would give him some clue as to how many hit points it had. He used his Analysis on Minor Heal as well, just in case it told him something useful he didn’t already know. Regardless, he would keep casting Minor Heal until it either stopped working or the Slime told him to stop.
Speaking of his new abilities it seemed pretty serendipitous that levelling up Magic Analysis would grant him to ability to learn about a spells element right when he was aiming towards learning how to use fire element mana. He had finally learned Mana Shape as well, only a few moments before an explosion had ripped this Slime open and practically deafened him, so when he next got a chance he was ready to begin working on that. Although, peaceful moments never seemed to last long in this cave before something happened to interrupt it.

@MikkishtheLeprechaun there's a bit of interest in this now. Are you still intending on continuing with this RP? If so, how many people were you hoping for?
@Sketcher@Balthazar007 Well there's nothing that prevents you from making cool strats with Pokemon from multiple tiers, but I agree that the current rules may be a bit overly complicated.
I think the restrictions on Legendary, Mythical and Psuedo-Legendary Pokemon is fine and makes sense, they are meant to be rare after all, and I'm on board with a maximum base stat total to keep things balance. But the tier restriction on top of that is a bit much, a restriction of only one Uber and only one OU is probably good enough.

As for your second question (the tier list that I'm using), simply go to the team builder page on Pokemon Showdown. Start building a team in the "Anything Goes" format. There you will find the tiers that I'm using.
Ok, fair enough. Though the BL in those cases stands for banlist rather than borderline, which was throwing me off. Smogon does have all of these tiers in that case.
So just for clarification, I know you said that we must mega-evolve during the battle but how does that affect the tier of a Pokemon? For example Gengar-Mega is in the Uber tier, while regular Gengar is UU tier; so is a Gengar holding Gengarite considered Uber or UU?
