Hello and Welcome the the Land of Seloh!

This world is inhabited by creatures called Pokemon! But... You already know that don't you!! So lets just get straight to the important stuff!!

This is a Story that will be based in an all new region of the Pokemon World known as Seloh!! In this story characters may consist of a variety of roles, and events will be tied to the Pokemon Showdown Tournament you might have seen in general chat!! This roleplay is not EXCLUSIVE to those players, HOWEVER they do have some priority when it comes to character selection! But, I'll get into that in a bit. If you're still interested, let me tell you more about the world of Seloh!!

The Land of Seloh

Seloh itself is a relatively small region that over the past 2 years has become very heavily populated with Trainers and Pokemon alike! What brought all of these Pokemon and Trainers to this small, and otherwise unimportant region? Well, thanks to Professor Willow and her research on Mega-Stones, she discovered that Seloh had special Gem-like rocks that could be used to make Mega-Stones! With her research, she has been able to create a way to make Mega-Stones in very large quantities!! This has gained the the attention of Trainers so that they can push their training to the next level by gaining access to Mega-Stones. It has brought Pokemon as well, for many Pokemon wish to have their own inner power unlocked so that they too can Mega-Evolve!! There is a rich and diverse landscape for all Pokemon to exist, and even a higher number of Shiney Pokemon have migrated to Seloh as well!!

The entire region consist of Three Large Cities that are placed in somewhat of a Triangle Formation. However, what brought all these people All the Cities of Seloh can be compared cities like Lumios City in Kalos, large and full of things, places, and people!

First, there is Anson which has the first 4 Gyms: Bug, Ice, Fairy, and Fighting. Anson is also the home to Professor Willow's Research Lab and where most people apply for their Mega-Stones. Professor Willow wants all Trainers to have access to Mega-Stones, but they need to be dedicated Pokemon who truly care about their Pokemon, and understand the dedication it takes to have a strong bond with their Pokemon so that Mega-Stones will work! Anson is also the Fashion Hub of Seloh, and all the latest clothing trends come to Anson first!!

Next, Bardney is the city of Music and Art! This is home to the last 4 Gyms: Psychic, Steel, Fire, and Rock. There is also a large Pokemon Contest Hall where all the non-battle related events are held. This includes Pokemon Contests, Pokemon Olympics, Pokemon Orchestra and more!! This is the city that caters greatly to people who love Pokemon, but know that there is more than just battling!

The Last city, Chalgrove, is home to the Pokemon League. However, unlike most Pokemon Leagues, The Elite Four are their own "Gyms" if you will. They have their own special badges that they award, and all 12 badges must be acquired before going to meet the Champion. The Pokemon League and their Members are located on top a large hill that looks down at the city in a very elegant Stadium. The city itself is also home to some of the best Pokemon breeders, Pokeball Creators, and the Pokemon Trade Center where people can go and Trade Pokemon with ease!

Team Power
Team Power are a bunch of no good wrongdoers within the Region of Seloh. They have the great ambition to instead of steal people's Pokemon, they just want to steal their Mega-Stones so that they can have the most powerful Pokemon!! They also have some secrets about Pokemon themselves, and they often will capture Pokemon to further answer their own questions and ambitions for their own doing. You can expect them to be all about the land of Seloh trying to snag your Pokemon, so be ready to battle them at a moment's notice!!!

Rules/Structure About the Event

Rules About Your Pokemon
In this Roleplay, you're in a setting where the best of the best trainers come to prove their worth, catch the very best of the best Pokemon, and do all they can to be The Very Best. Though, being the very best within some realistic limitations. Below are the rules for the Roleplay I expect everyone to follow.

  1. Absolutely no Godmodding of anything in the Roleplays, especially battles. Pokemon battles are something that everyone is going to want to win, and sometimes its hard to decide on a winner. That is why I highly ENCOURAGE that battles between players take place between them on Pokemon Showdown and use that to create a battle scene that you can then write out in the thread! Otherwise without this approach, every battle loss or victory should be discussed with whomever you're batting with OOC no matter what!
  2. Players are encouraged NOT to have duplicate Pokemon on their team. Again, in this region, if you tried to battle anyone with 6 Charizards, you'd be defeated everywhere you go. Your Pokemon teams should have personality and flavor while still being able to battle with others unless you have another drive. If your character doesn't want to focus on battling and would rather focus on Pokemon Contests, then that is fine!! But, this is going to be driven mostly around battling, so do keep that in mind when Team Power shows up to battle you.
  3. Players may not use ANY Legendary Pokemon. Legendary Pokemon cannot be found in Seloh due to them wanting to avoid it at all cost seeing how most Legendary Pokemon never wish to be caught. If you were to bring your Legendary Pokemon in from another land, it would try to flee as soon as it was released from its Pokeball, feeling unsafe due to the nature of Seloh in general.
    1. If you're not sure what Legendary Pokemon are, please look at this list. The only one not on this list is Phione.
  4. Gym Leaders cannot change their Gym Team at any time, however they can use alternative Pokemon for their personal team and switch them out as they see fit.
  5. On any team, Players may not have the ability Moody.
  6. Players cannot use any moveset on any Pokémon capable of intentionally causing an endless battle.
  7. Players can only have the move Baton Pass on one Pokemon's move set. You may use more than one Pokemon that has Access to the move Baton Pass, but may not use more than 1 Pokemon with it in a battle on their move-list.
  8. There will not be a restricted list or Banned list outside of Legendary Pokemon. That being said, if I feel your team is very "cheesy" and lacks any sort of personality or flavor, I will ask you to redo your team to make something. So, please, don't use a team that looks like: Aegislash, Blaziken, Greninja, Mega-Kangaskhan, Ferrothorn, Skarmory.
  9. Players will need to have a Trainer Card in all of their posts to represent what Pokemon they have with them for the events they wish to be apart of. This way Players can see what you have and won't have a chance to "switch out" their pokemon in the middle of the street. It also gives some representation of your character and their team! Having it at the bottom of every post would be most wonderful.
    1. You can make Trainer Cards here with all your Pokemon, and change it whenever you want!! Here is an example of my characters's! [spoili]

More Rules May Be Added To This List
 
generally, the teams are one of each species only. You'd have to ask @F0X for a firm yes/no. Considering you are going Contest based.

Well I mean right now I have an Altaria, Aerodactyl and an Umbreon. I figure that was fine.

Yeah, I can't see any issue with that team!

Well I added three more for a full team. Which is an Espeon, Absol, and a Sigilyph.

That way his Pokemon each have a performance partner that works well with them. It's more about pairing in this case than battling.
 
and I lied again. I am going to stick with Altaria.......but I really want to push the envelope on myself and challenge myself to not stick with Pokemon I generally always use.
 
If you don't mind having the same pokemon as my character (and really, it's not on her main team) I would recommend Granbull if only because he was thrown into a typing that is considered cutesy but his appearance isn't considered as such. He could compliment the whole "breaking barriers" theme your character seems to have going for him :) Not sure how well he'd work with your team though but I figured it was worth a shot since your character is more about performance than battling.

Thanks. Ironically though I have Alitair in my team. But I find Alitair more majestic than cute
 
I figured I'd throw him out there since you mentioned you wanted to use a pokemon you don't use often :)

I was considering Goodra for a second. But it's like I love hate its design. In the anime it made even my manly heart melt. It was so damn fucking adorable. But the Game Sprite does it no justice. What's the rules on Shinies by the way?
 
Considering there's supposedly an abundance of them I think there isn't really any rules on Shinies.

Thank you so much. I am sorry I am being whiny and frustrated right now. I am trying to find a cohesive team, while.....thinking about my style and taste. and just....blah...lol
 
hm, well you could always be a pokemon coordinator, they're practically the same, or you could be the first male trainer, you can't say that no male in the pokeverse has ever dreamed of being a performance star =^.^=

roflcopter. But then we go into the ethics of Pokemon, would they allow males? Are they that sexist where they are like no? Do I have dream up of a hilarious character who dresses like a girl?

lol or I can go for Pokemon Coordinator, but he says he's a performer.
 
I think having a guy dress as a girl just to be a performer would be pretty entertaining(Tetora from log horizon, perfect for this role) XD


But I think being a coordinator that classified themselves as a performer would probably work, seeings as they are pretty much the same thing. =^.^=

Hmmmm......

I am so so sliding into this boat more and more
 
Announcement!!!
Alright so I am sorry I couldn't answer any questions sooner, but let me go ahead and address some things right off the bat.

First, let me start by saying that this thread is made as a continuation of the Pokemon Showdown General Chat Thread due to Popular Demand. The Gym Leaders/Elite Four who asked me to make this roleplay are for sure going to have access to play the characters they already have. It wouldn't be fair to them if I just gave their spots away to new players when they were the ones who wanted to RP in the first place.

Second, there are 3 players who have not gotten to me about Gym Leaders. @Gummi Bunnies @Moonlit Blade and @DapperDogman have not let me know if they are going to be playing in this RP or not. The first Gym Spot is open, but @Limeypanda has a character who had a dream of being a Gym Leader (uses all Normal Types in my Event...) so he should most certainly have the 1st Gym Spot if he wants it. That being said, there might be some other openings if those Gyms do not maintain their players for the Role Play. Next, let me talk about Gyms for a second...

Gyms and Gym leaders are certainly more respected and appreciated than just someone who comes off the train to get to Seloh. However, due to the plot/story I have in mind, Gyms are not going to be open for people to be battling in most likely. If you want to do something like that, Check out the General Chat Thread. None the less, if you're wanting a character that is most respected and gets a lot of attention around town, you can sign up to be a Victor. I didn't put it on the list because you'll have to jump through some hoops to be a Victor, but none the less that is one of the prestigious (jobs) someone can have.

Third, not everything about this world is going to be completely cannon with the regular Pokemon Universe. Firstly, characters are going to need to be a bit older in this roleplay. This is the END game for nearly all who know about it, and thus people who come to Seloh need to be experienced and well versed when it comes to things involving Pokemon. That being said, I am not going to put a strict age requirement, but characters should be looking to play Adult or really close to Adult characters. There is no way a child is going to be able to do well in this Area, even a young Teen isn't going to make much sense. So, if you can explain to me how/why your character is so young, than I might consider it, otherwise I'm going to expect you play a more mature character.

Another thing on this note: mainly aimed @Clyde here, if you want to play a character that "breaks the normal Pokemon norms" go for it! If you want to be a male entertainer, go for it! If you want to be a Male Pokemon Nurse, do it!! Just communicate with ME what you would like for your character. Communication is important for every Roleplay, and this one is no different.

Next, all players are going to be recommended to have AT LEAST 6 Pokemon on their character at all times. You don't always have to use all 6, but you should have at least this many. If you don't, in this community you're going to get a lot of eyebrow raises and random challengers who want to "show their stuff against a novice". Because Seloh is SUCH a competitive community, most people want to battle all the time, and if they feel they can get an easy win, they are going to go for it! Pokemon Rangers are no different for this, they need to have a VERY diverse team to help people and Pokemon in all situations! So make sure to consider that when making your character/team.

Last, this event is supposed to have fun, and it is going to have a bit of a darker story than you'd expect in a Pokemon Universe RP. It almost made its way to Libertine since its going to be a bit darker with Pokemon Death and such, but I couldn't leave people like @Aergia out of the fun. So, by all means, ask questions, make comments, but all in all, lets have fun!! I am still working out the details of the final things I am making decisions on, but now is the time to ask any and all questions before I put anything else in stone!

@Fox;

Fantastic. Thank you. I am going to be a male Performer.

Now how will performance work? Do you still want the teams to be diverse? Or can I theme my team? Maybe that's been my issue this whole entire time trying to figure it out. Also, how old can our characters be?

You may have your Pokemon be whatever you want them to be... However, anyone in this RP may be subjected to a battle with Team Power at nearly ANY TIME! And they are going to look to STEAL your Pokemon/mega stones, HURT you, and MANIPULATE you to do what they want. If you are not prepared to battle with them because you have a lot of "cute" pokemon, then you best hope you're near a friend who can come and save the day!! Otherwise, Team Power will care not about your tears when they run off with your Prize Winning Pokemon.

As far as age goes... I really don't want to make a restriction on this, but I almost feel any character under the age of 18 isn't going to make much sense. I could possibly see a preformer/contestant being 16, maybe? But Seloh is the place for the best of the best, and people should have some experience under their belt no matter what they want to do in the region.

All righty. But I wasn't going for cute pokemon now was I? lol......

All right because I was going to go with age of 20+
