Ah, my bad, forgot that part.
Might have to rethink some strategies to be less reliant on certain items in this case.

There are no held items, but there are still special items like evolution stones. For Simple format though you can use held items if you'd like, but for complex, the focus is all on roleplaying.
No exceptions?
By the way, it just occurred to me that Charizard has two mega evolutions, so why not allow multiple different custom mega evolutions?
Few more quick questions:
Are you allowed to start with any non-legendary pokemon? Are there restrictions on their stage of evolution or bst?
Are held items still a thing, and if so, how are they obtained?
How difficult is it to obtain Alolan and Galarian forms in Chromis? Ultra Beasts?

Hi, I have tentative interest in this, though I'm not sure what kind of character I'd play as. A few questions:
-Is there/can there be any point to accumulating wealth under this system, or is money considered unimportant?
-Can gym challenges or contests be conducted under double battle format, or is it strictly single-battle?
-What about moveset limitations? Will anime logic apply and >4 moves be allowed in complex battles?
-Can some liberties be taken with learnsets, particularly with training, or are we strictly restricted to their in-game learnsets?

Hey, just dropping by to declare my interest in this.
I saw the interest check and noticed that you weren't taking any new applicants unless a spot opens up, so let me know if the situation changes.

Alright, so, Nightmare's dead.
He's been gone for a couple of weeks and I can't contact him through discord so unless he comes out of his coma, it seems the RP as originally planned isn't gonna happen.
That being said, if all of you are still interested in doing so, we can continue the RP where we left off. Let me know if you guys want to if so.
As far as the RP itself, I was recommended to GM it, since Nightmare made me Co-GM. I’m down to do it in theory, but I’m not confident that I'll be able to consistently keep up with it. If any of you would like to take the reins so to speak, I invite you to do so, though considering that we’ll probably need a new thread anyway, it may just be better to ditch the RP altogether and post alternate RPs here. I have some ideas for keeping the broader premise of reincarnators intact, so let me know what you guys think of the matter, and what you guys want to do from here.

The salty ocean air and the bright, shining sun really accentuated the "vacation" vibe, as if the cruise ship itself wasn't cloyingly emblematic of it already. Sean hadn't taken a single step on it before he already felt like a tourist. All he needed was an Alolan shirt and a selfie stick and he could probably go around pretending he got on the wrong ship. Maybe that's just an overly neurotic way of thinking, considering that applies to most people, if not everyone, but he can't shake the feeling of not belonging here. He supposes he should just let loose and enjoy himself, it's just that the prospect of upcoming pokemon battles put him in a pessimistic mood.
For the time being, Sean's mostly been sequestered in his cabin, playing with the berry pots he brought along. It might be a bit excessive to have so many on hand as to justify carrying around a berry pouch, but he figures he should get them ready for whatever the heck the tournament's "creator" has planned. From the sounds of things, he's expected to fill out an entire team of pokemon, so keeping up a supply for any possibility will probably go a long way. After all, if a new pokemon has the same tastes as one of his, he’ll need double the berries to feed and train them. He knows this because his Vibrava has mostly the same tastes as him and Watmel berries grow frustratingly slowly. Magost berries are easier to sustain on short notice, but it's just not the same.
God, Custap berries are the greatest, but why do they have to be so rare? Hopefully, this "Bigang region" has as much variety in its berries as it does its pokemon. As impressive as Sean's collection is, he's still missing a few. He's at the point where he's tried hunting down mirages that supposedly contain them, but the distance and constant threat of bad weather makes it hard to meaningfully search the Hoenn triangle.
In any case, Sean can't stay in his cabin suite for the entire trip, so when he's satisfied with his supply, he ventures out onto the deck in search of… well, he's not sure, fresh air? Kinda redundant, really, but stretching his legs out is nice, and the sky is bright and clear, as if the air was locked into a state of serenity. In the distance, he could make out the early vestiges of the Bigang region slowly coming into view. Without anywhere to be, he leans on the railing of the ship's bow and stares off into the distance as thoughts of the future and its troubles flood his mind. What trainers he'll meet, what pokemon he'll catch, and just how dangerous it might be to tangle with other reincarnators. Perhaps most of all, just what kind of a rich dandy would have the time and resources to be able to track down so many reincarnators just to host some hoity-toity tournament. Gotta wonder how it's going to be monetized, or maybe they're just one of those creepy fanatics looking for the right… candidate. The more he thinks about it, the more his uncertainty grows.
Sean's taken out of his thoughts by the ship captain announcing the visibility of the upcoming landmass. It's not a terribly good view yet but it's become more than just a tiny speck on the horizon. The announcement no doubt heralds the arrival of others, and he's not sure whether he wants to stick around for that or not. His indecisiveness decides for him as he lets himself get distracted by distant Wingull and other tiny, colorful specks dotting the coast; pokemon he can only guess at, pokemon he's never seen for himself before, and perhaps pokemon he'll become the best of friends with. In spite of any apprehension he has, there's something unshakably wistful about the adventures of a pokemon trainer.

Name: Sean
Age: 21
Appearance:
Legendary moves: Magical Leaf, Synthesis, Sweet Scent, Natural Gift
Legendary powers:
-Sean is capable of absorbing pollutants (anything short of clean air counts, such as kicked up dust) and purifying it into water and light. While the pollutants are absorbed, his hair turns black. It can be kept that way for quite a long time, though if he deliberately holds it in, he'll eventually get a headache. He'll absorb pollutants automatically unless he's trying not to.
-Absorbing enough pollutants enables the use of Seed Flare, a shockwave caused by releasing the water and light all at once. Sean can use it without absorbing pollutants, though he isn't experienced enough to do so yet. (See moves) Sean can disperse the purified pollutants harmlessly, though he'll be inclined to release it as a Seed Flare akin to how most don't like holding in sneezes.
-Sean is capable of transforming any land into a blossoming meadow instantly. He does this automatically whenever he uses Seed Flare and hasn't learned how not to.
-He is capable of stimulating plant growth. He does this passively, though he can increase the effect greatly by focusing on a plant. His specialty is flowers, so if it's not a flower, it'll actually take a while to grow something. (as opposed to instantly) Still, he can make most plants full-grown in a matter of minutes. (Long-lived trees could take hours or even days, depending, though berry trees grow quickly)
-Natural Cure (Somewhat strong immune system)
-"Flower-like aura"
Biography: Sean was born in Solaceon town and lived on a farm near its southern edge with his parents. He spent his childhood there, helping out around the farm, tending to the Animals or watering their Tropius. An active boy, he also had plenty of time to wander the woods, explore the Solaceon Ruins whenever he worked up the courage and visit the day care frequently where he could play with the pokemon. Even from a young age, Sean loved pokemon, and pokemon seemed to love him too, if only because of the abilities he did not yet have a full grasp of. It was quite subtle at first; the air around him was always clean and wilting flowers would bounce back when he passed by, but eventually some trainer breathed cigarette smoke on him and he discovered how to use Seed Flare.
For a little while, Route 209 became more colorful than Floraroma.
The trainer probably didn't understand what happened, and when he came to, he didn't stick around to ask questions, in spite of his injuries. From then on, Sean tried to better understand and control his abilities, guilty that he had assaulted a passerby and horrified that he could do so without meaning to. He didn't hide it from his parents, though they encouraged him to do whatever he could to keep it hidden so that he could lead a normal life. He agreed to abide by their wishes, more or less, and managed to keep a lid on his identity as a reincarnator, give or take a few people like the Daycare couple. As he finished his schooling, he eventually wanted to leave home in pursuit of his career, not as a pokemon trainer, but as a pilot. He started out as a freelancer, which took him all over the place, but eventually came to settle down in Mistralton City of the Unova Region. He became responsible for the runway plants, as well as commercial flights to Lentimas Town or the Nature Preserve. When he received the invitation to the Reincarnation Tournament, he ignored it. He wasn't really a pokemon trainer after all. He couldn't even remember the last time he had a battle. A tournament like that wouldn't suit him in any way, shape or form. Still, when the gym leader of Mistralton caught wind of it, they insisted he enter for the sake of "broadening his horizons". He tried to argue back that he's a pilot; he literally has some of the broadest horizon out there, but they insisted, practically bullying him into it and giving him "all the time off he needs". Well, here he is, ready to compete, I guess.
Original region: Born in Sinnoh, moved to Unova.
Other:
-Sean has mild arachnophobia and it totally has nothing to do with the wild Joltik that snuck into his bed that one time.
-Sean has never seen or heard of Gracidea flowers, yet.
-Sean's favorite color is, predictably, green.

Pokémon team:
I thought we wouldn't be taking stats so seriously, kinda like in the anime a statistically weaker pokemon (like pichu) can win in a fight against a stronger one (i.e. scyther). I say this because I think that frankly, it's more interesting if we are allowed creativity in the battle and it isnt just "use flamethrower" and "use rest". Makes it feel more realistic too if we aren't only after stats.
True, stats don't really matter when you're running on anime logic. In the past, restrictions like this (Scyther but not Pikachu) just bothered me a lot since stats were taken into greater account there, if not outright functioning as a pseudo-sim at times, so hard-and-fast policies for this stuff seemed like the most "fair" idea, but they're also kind of lame for RP so I digress.
Having to start with Pichu or Igglybuff instead of Pikachu or Jigglypuff just seems silly, you know?
