RP Thread https://forums.pokecharms.com/threads/legends-arceus-diamond-and-pearl.30052/#post-934643 (Ask to Join - Legends Arceus: Diamond and Pearl)
Better late than never! Or maybe it's not late, maybe this was my plan all along, only those truly committed will want to rp in this setting while everyone else rushes to Scarlet/Violet. Now, why the same setting of the game, why not legends Celebi, Victini or any other region? Simple, we have very little information of what those other regions looked like in the past.
This story will take place during the exact time the game does, except, we won't have an MC falling from the sky or Arceus going crazy, cuz Stellar might get mad at me for it and I'm too lazy to submit permission for it xD Instead you will be part of the Galactic Corps to explore Hisui, study Pokemon, fill up the Pokedex, confront alphas and maybe solve a mystery or two :3
Now before we go on and you get all excited and start dropping OC bios, something important we need to talk about: Commitment.
This RP will be strict when it comes to posting, how strict? Well you just need to ask yourself one question, can I post at least once a day? Now we won't be asking for you to do so, but if you are capable of posting once a day, that means we can trust you won't drag the rp down. We know real life sometimes gets in the way, but if it gets in your way constantly, work, school, being sick, daddy issues, anything that could cause you to just suddenly stop posting, then you should reconsider joining. If you feel you are able to, that's great! Again, we won't be asking for one post per day, we understand we all have things to do, we just don't want the rp getting to the point where we get a post once a week.
Now, let's look at the rules :3
Alpha Pokemon: These won't be available to catch until mid or late game. They will be extremely difficult to catch and will be causing trouble for our OCs, so getting one won't be easy. Can your Pokemon become an alpha Pokemon? Same rule, sure, but until mid or late game. We don't want everyone walking around with alphas like if they gave them away for free at Cosco.
Catching Pokemon: Will we catch a ton of Pokemon like in the games? No, unlike the games, we can actually rp studying the Pokemon and writing things down about them without having to capture them to register them in the Pokedex.
Setting: Remember a lot of people still fear Pokemon and see them as a threat, so having Pokemon won't make you that popular at first, it is up to us to show people how amazing they are!
National Pokedex: Yes. As long as the Pokemon you encounter makes sense with the environment, it's all good.
Getting Started: You're allowed to choose a first stage mon of your choice, which will be provided by the Galaxy Corps.
Items: We will ask you keep track of the items your OC has on hand and every time you use a Pokeball, roll to see if you catch the Pokemon you used it on, this is to avoid spamming objects.
Crafting: Yes.
Present day Pokemon: Things like Porygon haven't been invented yet, so how can you catch one? We will have some distortion incidents happen to give you the opportunity to get one :3
OC getting injured: Very possible, we will have a roll system that determines if your oc gets injured and if too many build up, game over! This will be included in the discord if you get accepted.
Finally, what's the plot? Your oc can be from Jubilife, the Pearl or Diamond clan, even come from another region. They will join the GC and set out to explore, facing all the dangers that the Hisui region has to offer! Maybe, there's something evil lurking in the shadows...
If you're up to the challenge go ahead and let me know, or any questions you might have about the rp!
