    Ye gods, does no one read the actual warnings...
    The problem wasn't that you posted something "someone else already did" - it was that you posted something made with a doll-maker type application, as that's not allowed on the corner. ^^

    What would be done if your character is not possibly able to save themself from a death but you don’t want them to die?

    Well that's a bit of a situation, then... And I'm actually not sure what to say. Obviously, other players can't force a kill on your character as that would be technically considered autoing - and you can't really neutralize any of them specifically and make a break for it because that would be autoing THEM.

    What you - and the other RPers - need to do is actually communicate and discuss this matter among yourselves and actually figure out a solution. What RP even IS this?

    For some clarification concerning Galar - is the restriction on its use within PRP limited to Pokemon and active mechanics for now, or does it extend to the mention and use of the region itself, without the undisclosed things in it?

    Yeah, I mostly meant just talking about it or using it as a point of mention in dialogue, or within the lore of an RP. I was just curious.
    StellarWind Elsydeon
    StellarWind Elsydeon
    Until the games are released, Galar and anything related to it may not be used in RPs, as anything you might have on the region is speculation and/or partial information which may be contradicted thoroughly by canon.

    Question, I'm planning on making an RP loosely based (Is that the right word?) off Hazbin Hotel. Can there be massacres for no goddamn reason, because it's set in... Hell?

    I'm not sure what Hazbin Hotel is, but excessive violence and/or gore for the hurr-durr-lol-random is best kept to other communities.

    @Philucifer you're wrong. in hazbin hotel there are massacres because of overpopulation.
    Little question, so I have been thinking for a while since I started this website, I would like to write a RP. I needed to ask a quick question about my Legendary, Mythical problem. I read the Pokemon RP rules, and I know we are only supposed to have one Legendary/Mythical in your party, but could it be chosen to have more then one, but kept in your box/PC for Pokedex purposes? Respond whenever you have time.
    StellarWind Elsydeon
    StellarWind Elsydeon
    RP settings do not work like the games do. Pokedex completion does not require catching Pokemon (Pokedex entry writing would actually likely be the job of legitimate researchers rather than dumb children doing unpaid labour), and the average trainer is unlikely to ever encounter an actual legendary pokemon in their entire life, let alone actually catch one. So yeah, no.

    Quick Question. I've got a few 'maze maps' from the Etrian Odyssey games that I was about to use as the basis for a labyrinth in an RP. I've edited the maps minorly with Microsoft Paint, but would they still classify as banned due to the image rule?
    Hello! I have a question about the PRP rules concerning artwork. Is it okay to use filled out Bases for character description? In case you're not familiar with them, Bases are basically blank drawings you can use to draw on and make any character you want out of them, with prior permission from the original artist to use. There are plenty of examples floating around on deviantART.
    StellarWind Elsydeon
    StellarWind Elsydeon
    Edited bases are a bit of a grey area in the RP forums - although I'd say that the same rule regarding bases in the Creative Corner should apply - so long as the edits are yours and you provide a link to the original base as posted by its original creator, they should be okay.

    If we make our own role play and you say that having a keystone and a mega stone is ok but you have to keep the rules of keystones do we have to ask you?
    Sorry to be a bother but let's say a Zoura used its Illusion powers to make itself to look like a legendary. Is that allowed, or is it against the rules?
    StellarWind Elsydeon
    StellarWind Elsydeon
    I've had that question asked before, and the answer is typically that in order to mimic something, pokemon like Zorua usually need to have encountered it before, which suggests a previous encounter with said Legendary. Such an encounter wasn't approved and so this really should not be done.
    StellarWind Elsydeon
    StellarWind Elsydeon
    Mimicry of such from an impression or stories or second-hand accounts would likely to be inaccurate and not really fool anyone.

    Why do people fail to understand that the Creative Corner is not a blogging platform?
    StellarWind Elsydeon
    StellarWind Elsydeon
    No, I mean people literally writing what looks like short blog posts about their lives as youtube-esque updates about why they haven't been doing things and the like and uploading them as corner works. That's not what the corner is for.

    TheJustinMann
    Oh you mostly mean in the writing section that I forgot existed for a second. Yeah, I've seen a few. Should a blog be added to the site?... no, I think not.
    Havoc_The_Gandalf
    Havoc_The_Gandalf
    I agree completely in the sense that it is quite ridiculous that people think that this is a platform they can use to blog about their own personal issues, life, activities etc. - The creative corner should be utilised for the other freedoms in both literature and artwork that can be expressed there.
    Detective Pikachu was pretty good. Worth watching if only for how utterly gorgeous the Pokemon were. ^^

    Hello. I just had a question regarding profile pictures.
    What are the restrictions of profile pics? Do they have to be either A) your own works or B) official sprites? Or can they be a picture from Google Images? I am not entirely sure and don't want to break the rules, so I am using my Trainer Card for now. Thank you!

    Profile pictures aren't as restricted as many other things are - the main rule honestly is the bounds of good taste. Remember, however, that some artists for instance do not like their stuff being used without their permission - and if we receive a complaint or find an avatar by a particular artist who is known to not permit use of their work, we will remove it. ^^

    Is it classed as rude and/or patronising to give someone a grammar tip like 'Just remember that sentences begin with capital letters.'? There's a rule in RPing about using correct grammar and I don't wish to be patronising or the like.
    As far as the level of violence in Creative Corner Written Works go, is there really a limit (while using the tag [18+]) to the level of detailed gore and violence? I just want to make sure I don't scar the entire site, even if I do have a tag up and a disclaimer. XD

    I'm honestly not sure what to respond with. I'd say that if the degree of gore and/or violence is high enough for you to warrant asking that then maybe it's best saved for AO3 or something instead? <<

    Well XD Yea, that's a thing. But I do have an idea of how much I'm willing to show. I won't do things like torture, but I'm talking about something being eaten alive in some graphic detail, but probably not to the point of detailing what organs the creatures are eating. xD

    You might want to read the RP forum rules - and our global rules in general - before posting anything. I had to remove your attempted thread because aside from the use of art that is not yours and the fact that you're essentially trying to put together a tabletop game in a decisively not-tabletop environment... Yeah.

    In all seriousness, I'm not exactly the right staff member to ask re: technical issues - that's what we have @Teapot for. ^^ But you'd probably have to be a bit more specific about the nature of the issue than just saying "It's broken". xD

    But having a character make some snarky internal commentary about something? That's not so much fourth-wall-breaking as just... thought processes.

    Another way, if you still haven't a clue, is go to the person's profile and look above their profile picture where it should say 'Start a Conversation' and either 'Follow' if you hadn't followed them yet or 'Unfollow' if you are following them.

    Maybe you had to be online for a certain amount of time for that to pop up. Yea, that happens. If I recall correctly, the minimum time limit is 20 minutes or something like that. I think it was to stop bots or the like from spamming convos with people.
    Excuse me StellarWindEslydeon, but I actually don’t know how to edit my conversation messages can you help me please.
    Excuse me? Why are you regulating what I can do in my own story? Does the site have some kind of narrative to it where all the RPs are supposed to be connected? Also, I read the rules, I didn't find anything about that, only how players are intended to capture and use legendaries.

    If your rules are so important you should have explained why. It seems to me that the reason you have the legendary rules is more personal, you don't like seeing the cancerous RPs where the charactors are super powerful have have a team of 6 legends. Honestly, I get you on that, I have seen that plenty of times before. But to me, freedom of expression is far more important.

    Age is irrelevant. The lessons you take from something could be all the wrong ones. 16 years doesn't make you right, it only brings you closer to that.
    Major01
    Major01
    Anyhow, I get where your coming from, but if you're tired of explaining it, then I suggest you add the reasoning into the rules themselves.
    So, a question considering RP's.
    Not sure if you've seen footage of or played Pokken before, but the game features Mega Evolution as the "super move" for the Pokemon who can in the game, basically allowing it to be triggered once the right gauge is filled.
    If someone were to create a Pokken RP, would the rules regarding Mega Evolution still be in play?
    StellarWind Elsydeon
    StellarWind Elsydeon
    Honestly, if we start giving people openings to bend the rules you can be absolutely 100% certain some people would exploit it, so naturally we kind of have to be wary of that.
    StellarWind Elsydeon
    StellarWind Elsydeon
    ... That said, even within the incredibly dubious canon of Pokken itself, Synchro Stones and their shenanigans are fairly limited in a sense that the charges take a while to build, require perfect sync between Pokemon and trainer, and the transformations are very short lived, and the stones themselves only work within the Ferrum Region itself.
    StellarWind Elsydeon
    StellarWind Elsydeon
    ... Tell you what. Provided any Ferrum-specific nonsense remain exclusively in Ferrum (and not spill out into RPs taking place within any main Pokemon canon) and under the caveat that these Synchro Burst Megas aren't "proper" Mega Evolutions as it were - and are as short in duration as they are in the real thing - I suppose they could be possible for species that actually have them.
    The sheer audacity and lack of self awareness that art thieves who ask for others not to repost "their" work is staggering.
    So small question. When you are reporting, what timeframe (of the post's creation) is it unacceptable? I may have accidentally done a thing when the post was a week old. The RP did keep going, but when is it not okay?
    Merciless Medic
    Merciless Medic
    Is it like a month time period where reports should be made and never over that time limit?

    Also another question. What made the addition to the "can't share a profile" rule happen?
    I have a question regarding Legendary Pokémon use in RPs set in the Smash Bros. Universe (and therefore, in General Discussion). Do you still need permission to act as Mewtwo in a Super Smash Bros. Universe and to use any Pokémon that appears via Pokéball?
    StellarWind Elsydeon
    StellarWind Elsydeon
    Smash is a really dumb setting to RP in the first place - but all the characters in it are literally sentient toys of some capacity and so long as the smash shit is restricted to its own dumb universe, it has very little bearing on anything.
    StellarWind Elsydeon

    It's a bit silly to try to get into arguments of balance and rarity in a setting where some of the fighters are literal gods and one of them is KIRBY.

    XD Yea, you're right. XD Was just wondering though, so thank you for answering my question. :)
    I swear to frog, the internet never ceases to prove there is no limit to human stupidity.
    Hello, Stellar, I hope this is the right place to ask this; is there any word or character limit on Charms? I've looked around and can't see any rule or explicit limitation but figured I'd ask anyway.
