{ THE BASICS } |
There will be no bullying, no rude behavior, and no fighting. Let us all be mature here so please, be polite with each other. Power-playing and God-modding will not be tolerated. You are not a god and cannot control another character. If you have something in mind for plots make sure to discuss it with the other player beforehand. Of course there are no perfect characters. Your character was not raised by millionaires and you are the Champion from ten different regions. No, we are all fairly average and a staff member will not accept a character without flaws. We play by having all of your characters on one account. Please create a PC for all of them and an account Tracker if you wish to keep them organized. There is a maximum of characters four characters. You have the ability to buy more character slots as long as all of them are active. The max avatar size is 100x100px so feel free to take up all of that space or only a tiny bit. It does not matter. Signatures and tables however should not stretch the boards meaning they should be under 550px in width. Staff will ask you to resize or remove any image that does. Liquid Time does exist on this site as long as you can keep track of your own story line, feel free to use it. We do ask that you only have one modded thread open at a time so that you aren't bogging down the staff. There is a minimum word count of 150 words. We ask that you try and go over this number. One liners will not be tolerated. Finally, the staff here asks that you try and use proper grammar as well as spelling things properly. Spellcheck exists so use it. We do not tolerate "chat speak" within RP posts. If you do use it, the staff will be knocking on your doorstep shortly. |
{ POKEMON } |
Starters And Abilities For the time being, you may start with two un-evolved Pokemon that are not Rare Pokemon. There is a list posted here of what is considered rare. Alternatively, you can choose to get your starter from the Pokémon lab. Any Pokemon you choose for yourself cannot have egg moves, TMs, or HM moves nor may they have any hidden abilities. Pokemon can only have one ability which will be randomized by staff when given. Pokemon that are given away from the lab also have the chance to know an Egg Move, a Hidden Ability or even be shiny. Currently there are two labs that you may receive starters from and begin your journey with. There is one in Yayli Town for those entering from a different region or the lab in Crystal City for those who were born within the region. Capturing And Battling During wild Pokemon encounters, you can encounter up to five different Pokemon. You have the option to pass on any of them. A capture thread will end after two Pokemon have been caught. A battle with a wild Pokemon will only have a total of four turns instead of eight. At the end of the fourth turn you can throw your Pokeball in an attempt to capture it. The mod will post whether or not you succeeded. Pokemon do not have to be battled in order to be caught. You also have the option of "befriending" the Pokemon by conversing with it and showing it that you care about it. After you feel you have won the creatures affection, you may attempt to throw a Pokeball. The mod will post whether or not you succeeded. A battle uses so many turns before it is concluded. We define a turn as both Pokemon using at least one attack. If both players post just dialogue or thoughts without an attack, it does not count as a turn but rather just an RP post. Miscellaneous Most Pokemon can know all of their attacks from the moment they are born, however keep in mind that they wont know how to use all of the moves right away so be reasonable with your attacks.There are no levels on the site. To evolve you may buy Pokemon evolutions in the shop. They can be bought either with Cash or Pokedollars. If an evolution is bought with Pokedollars, it can only be used by the character that bought it. The Rakuen Pokedex is a special one. It is a wearable, multipurpose device that can act as a phone, a map, a Pokedex, and you can shop here. There is also a feature allowing you to switch out your Pokemon party from the device. Legendary Pokemon do exist however they cannot be caught or owned. |
{ CHARACTER } |
All characters must be at least 10 years or older in order to own a Pokemon. Characters cannot be related to any Canon characters. This means that you cannot be Ash's daughter or brother or any other sort of relative. They do not exist in this universe. Each character earns Pokedollars, which are used to buy things for that specific character. Pokedollars are gained through posting with a word count. Every word is equal to one Pokedollar though there is a maximum of 500 PD per post. The only exception to this are league battles and competitions, which will earn the full value of the post in Pokedollars. Any Gym leader or Elite Four position is first come, first serve. If you wish to have a Site Canon position you had better hurry. Any Site Canon character must remain active. If they are deemed inactive, the character will be archived. We define "active" as posting within in several Roleplay related threads a few times within a month. If a character remains without a post for more than a month it is deemed inactive. You first must have all of the Gym Badges to officially challenge the Elite Four or Champion. |
