Greetings, young and aspiring trainer! My name is Professor Cypress and according to my data, you've signed up as part of our "New Trainer" initiative. With your sixteenth birthday fast-approaching, it's almost time for your Pokémon adventure to begin!
In just a few weeks, you and a group of lucky individuals will be invited to my laboratory up in Lavendillure Town in order to claim your first Pokémon. I cannot stress how important this decision is, as whatever Pokémon you choose will be your companion throughout your entire journey, so think closely about the type of partner you think would be the best suit for you. The bonds you form with your Pokémon and your fellow trainers will last a lifetime; take it from a former Pokémon Champion herself!
But your first Pokémon will not be your last; the beautiful Holon Region is home to over 807+ different types of wild Pokémon, with many more just waiting to be discovered. As you train and bond with your Pokémon, I'm sure you'll encounter all kinds of incredible creatures that will join you for an adventure of a lifetime!
Whether you want to explore the world, battle, compete in pageants, or simply see and-or "catch 'em all", the choice is up to you. But remember that these decisions will define your young life forever, and I hope to be there with you along every step of the way to help!
So get ready to Go Adventure!

1. No GMing. We don't want any Mary-Sues or Gary-Sues, especially in the case of characters with Psychic/Ghost Pokémon. Bottom line, don't use your 'Mon to instantly knock out twenty enemies at once or to convince someone else's character to go along with what your character wants unless you already have their approval (ie. "You can't use that right now!")
2. Maximum of 2 Active Characters per person. Any more needs approval by a GM.
3. Characters (especially Pokémon) have the potential to die/get killed, but please ASK somebody before you attempt to kill their character rather than just say "Your guy is dead". As GM, I will ensure that nobodies character dies ICly without sole permission from their player (or if you want to suggest it, that also works).
4. Keep it PG-13! Sure, Pokémon can get pretty dark/heavy (like the time you go to a literal ghost town and fight against the demonic embodiment of a tortured Marowak seeking vengeance against Team Rocket, or that time Lysandre tried to commit literal genocide using a Legendary Pokémon because he wanted the world to be 'pretty'.) and also can be quite mature, but especially if it comes to romantic interactions, if things progress to a point of no return, please remember the Site rules, especially on the Discord server. As well; ALL CHARACTERS MUST BE AT LEAST 16 YEARS OLD AT THE MINIMUM!
5. Some scenes will be time skipped if they drag on too long/get too boring, but most of the time we will RP things through.
6. Feel free to throw ideas at me for potential plots/character romances/alien encounters/etc, but just remember that as the GM, I have the final say on what stays and what doesn't get put into the game.
7. Your character cannot have any GM abilities. GM abilities include: Character Manipulation (mind control/puppeteer-ing), Insta-Killing other player's Characters, etc. We all know what these are so we should be good, but if you think it might be OP; just ask and we'll figure it out together!
8. Post at least two-three paragraphs each time (more is fantastic), but I understand that life gets in the way. If you don't think you can post for a while, but still want your character to be involved with the plot's progression, just tell a GM and we'll NPC your character for a bit until you get back. Also; try to wait 2-3 posts between replies (it helps to keep the IC less crowded with a two-way conversation). If you want to collab with people, feel free to do so either on here or using the Discord server!
9. GM posts will be announced (these include plot movers, special events or even the death/introduction of a new character). I may also ask some of you to collaborate with me on a GM post, but they shouldn't interrupt the general flow of the RP (most of them are designed to show stuff happening far and away from our characters, but occasionally they'll introduce a new moment/situation that we have to get through).
10. If you got this far, here's a cookie *hands cookie*. Also, somewhere in the "Other" section of your sheet (or somewhere on it if you decide to go all fancy like I did), include a brief list of some of the Pokémon you'd wish to encounter along the journey so I know who's read the rules and who hasn't. This list won't be condusive of what Pokémon you'll ultimately get, but it'll help to plan for further encounters/special events. Whether or not your sheet is accepted is dependent on if you read the rules, among other things.
11. Please make PvP combat fair. It really sucks when somebody uses Thundershock, then proceeds to just punch the crap out of their immobile opponent. In addition, GM moves (ie. One-Hit KOs) will NOT be allowed inside PvP combat unless approved/announced in a GM event.
12. Enjoy the RP to the best of your ability and respect your fellow Pokémon Trainers in the OoC!! ^^ -
