@Burning KittySure. That will work. They trust the Queen enough to hand over their weapons.

@GreenGoatAt first I thought this was how your character would react, so I didn't respond.

If you present the idea here, we can discuss it.

@Kipsateking He would probably refuse to talk with you, simply because he hates non-humans and Imps are rather obviously non-human. Torture might work.

Pokemon: Medieval [open]

Prince Teal

Name: Prince Teal

Are you a boy, or a girl?: Boy, 24

Personality: He believes that it is his duty to protect the humans and pokemon of Kanto, as well as the peace which has existed between them for over two hundred years. He tries to help people if he can, and is loved by many people and pokemon as a kind and benevolent ruler.

Skills: Fire, Water, Ice, and Lightning magic. Hand to hand combat. He is also fairly skilled at negotiation, as nobility is supposed to be fair arbiters. He is fairly good at understanding Pokemon, though he sometimes misses details.

History: The eldest son of King Grey of Kanto, he was trained to be a fair ruler from birth, with a basic education in writing, math, science, and art. At the age of twelve he was inducted into the order of the Trainers by his uncle, taking the oath:

"I wish to be the best, like no one ever was. To learn from them is my test, to train them is my call. Should I travel across the land, searching far and wide, with each pokemon I encounter I will endeavor to learn from them, to understand the power that's inside of them."

He was then given an Eevee egg, which hatched into his first pokemon, Fuji. As was the custom of the Trainers, he then swore an oath to Fuji:

"With a true heart, our courage will bring us together through all of life's hardships. You will teach me, and I will teach you."

His uncle oversaw his training in Magic, and he reached a fairly advanced level and was chosen to succeed his father as King. He was planning a trip to visit the three Legendary Pokemon Lords and seek their blessing as the new King when Johto invaded. His father asked him to bring together a select group of agents, instead, and to try and find a solution to this invasion, as the invasion appeared to be going too well to guarantee Kanto's success in defending itself through standard military means.

Pokemon: Ditto named Peach (prefers to remain in the form of a young human woman, wearing a blue dress. She loves Pecha berries. She was trained in swordsmanship as well as has general servant's training.), Umbreon named Fuji, Rapidash named Barley

Equipment: Staff with a Water stone on it, Thunder stone Amulet, Fire Stone Bracelet, Ice stone bracelet (imported from Alola), Leather Armor w/ metal plated gloves, bag of Pecha Berries from the Royal Orchards, money (he's a prince, so as long as his spending doesn't get ridiculous and he can speak to the local rulers or guards to get more, it won't be an issue.)

Medieval Pokemon Idea

I started an OOC in case anyone wants to work on a character sheet.

Pokemon: Medieval [open]

In the Pokemon world's feudal age, the nation of Johto launched an attack on the kingdom of Kanto, landing on the south shore. Normally sea invasions bring few pokemon with them, as they have to carry the food and water for those pokemon as well. This invasion seemed to bring hundreds or thousands with them, as the soldiers needed merely to throw what appeared to be an Apricorn at the ground to bring a captured pokemon into battle. The Johto soldiers quickly managed to secure a literal beachhead, and even capture a few villages.

King Grey sent out messengers to every village under his control, ordering the Lords that weren't in battle to assemble their armies at his Castle Town of Pewter. The messengers also delivered secret messages to certain people who had worked as agents for the King's court before (the players), ordering them to assemble in the tavern of the village of Palegh, near the enemy's captured territory, and meet his agent there.

We would have a few pokemon with us each, though pokeballs don't exist, just "Apriballs" which only Johto people have, so we have to take them with us like pets, and provide food (and maybe water) for them. Humans are generally Normal type, but we can learn pokemon moves as well. If a human can't do it in the real world, though, we may need equipment (including magical equipment) to use pokemon moves. For example, you would need a metal weapon/shield to use Steel type moves, or a fire stone to use fire moves.

I have only beaten the first and second generation games, and only their regions are involved, so only their pokemon are allowed.

I'll definitely need a Co-GM for this, as I have to many RPs going already, and need the help to keep the story going at a good pace.

Pokemon are from "the stars" and are generally of roughly human level intelligence, but most lack much of our creativity, leading to us being better strategists and having better tech. They are called "pocket monsters" because when they first arrived they were hostile to humans. The only way we could befriend them is to carry their eggs with us, generally in pockets, and raise them among humans. Eventually they formed a peace agreement with humans around the world.

They communicate mostly through body language, with their speech only being needed for verbal cues, like tone. Anyone can learn to understand them with enough study, and they all learn human language as children.

Rules List:

1) No god modding. Most NPCs can be controlled if you need someone to do something specific, but don't control PCs and be consistent with NPC personalities. Realistic NPCs make for a more realistic experience.
(GM note: I would consider player owned pokemon to be a form of PC, so please get permission before controlling another player's pokemon. I'm just adding this rule to prevent future issues. 2/15/18)
2) Kanto and Johto Pokemon/moves only. I am allowing Alola variants, with the explanation that there is a Kanto colony there, but only use moves past Gen 2 with Gen 1 and 2 pokemon.
3) Humans are normal type, but can learn most moves if they have the equipment, magical or not, to do the move. If you want to use a Pokemon move that humans from our world couldn't do, give your character an item that they can use to do it. For example, Iron Tail would work with a metal shield by bashing them.
4) Kanto doesn't have Pokeballs, so if you want to keep your pokemon in one, you'll need to use a Johto "Apriball" and have a reason for your access to military tech from them. Pokemon will need food, water, etc. and will be subject to the environment. Some moves may require certain things from the environment. For example, Hydro Pump will require a good source of water.

Co-GM additions

Rule 1 - No godmodding. Please be reasonable, and understand that you can't always win. Even if you've managed to make a team to cover all your bases.
Rule 2 - Be polite in OOC. Be as much of a dick as you want IC, but OOC you should be polite. Because hateable characters are great. Hateable players not so much.
Rule 3 - Kanto and Johto Pokemon only. You can have movesets from other games, but please only use Kanto and Johto Mons. Unknowable is old and still doesn't know what a Plusle and Minun are. (GM note: Yes, I do. They are Pichu knockoffs. Seriously, just have a Pichu that you treat as a housecat or something.)
Rule 4 - While you can have more moves than the base 4, please try and avoid using every move imaginable. It's just polite.
Rule 5 - Since this takes place in a Medieval setting, certain obviously artificial pokemon are out. (IE Porygon.)

Pokemon: (up to four, though the pokemon can use any moves that would make sense for their level (just make a rough guess at it based on how strong it was, we won't be tracking actual levels)

Equipment:

@DoomFlavoredI'm just not sure what to post. Bad case of writer's block.

If I post tomorrow, it will likely be a short post.

Medieval Pokemon Idea

@Reflectionyeah, the Dratini line is about it for gen 1 and 2, though the Charmander line an Gyrados could fit too.

As the premise is that the King brought together people who had worked for him, the Queen, and his council, I'm not sure how well a mercenary would work. A "Royal Dragon Knight" would fit much better thematically, as he would like to send a Royal bodyguard with his son.

Medieval Pokemon Idea

@Regitnuisure. We'll put in an explainer. Maybe Kanto created a colony there and brought Pokemon with them, which became the variants?

Medieval Pokemon Idea

@Regitnuicool.

I figure I'll play as Prince Teal, next in line for the throne, who was sent on this mission to prove himself both to his people and council, but to their allies, the three Legendary Lord Pokemon, Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres.

I'll have a Ditto servant named Peach, a Jolteon named Fugi and maybe a Ponyta named Barley.
