Legendary pokemon. Incredibly rare, but powerful as well. We all know that there are only one of each, (except for the Solgaleo and Lunala line) so few people ever see them. How amazing would it be to find one? Join us in a search for legendary pokemon.

Hey, this is a RP that has alot of admin need in it, so certain things might take time to continue. Before I begin, I want to remind everyone of some rules.
Legendary Pokémon in RP
Legendary Pokémon are "Legendary" for a reason - they are exceedingly rare, quite elusive and often phenomenally powerful. Not all legendaries are alike - they vary in rarity (ranging from exceedingly rare to, in a few rare occasion, singular beings) and strength (ranging from more powerful than average to having nearly god-like powers) - but be that as it may, they are certainly not creatures that the average person would encounter without a very valid, good and well-thought-out reason.

Therefore, the presence of Legendary Pokémon here is heavily regulated and must be authorized by one of the PRP moderators - this goes for owning, befriending or even having a wild Legendary appear in a storyline. We'd prefer to keep the involvement of Legendary Pokémon to a minimum, but if you absolutely MUST have them in your plot, here is what to do.

There are three types of legendary interactions in RP: Encounter, Bonding and Capture/Ownership. These form a three-tier system according to which Legendary Pokémon are classified in terms of what can and cannot be done with them.

Encounter

An encounter, basically, is any appearance of a Legendary Pokémon within an RP plot. It can take many shapes - from a brief sighting with no interaction to a complex interaction including a conversation with, a battle against or any other form of interaction so long as the legendary operates strictly of its own accord and does not adhere to the judgment or commands of any player character.

To request an Encounter, contact @StellarWind Elsydeon with a detailed description of the planned encounter plot, the species to be encountered and the reasoning behind it.

Bonding

A Bonding Situation is a type of encounter where, in a certain situation, a Legendary Pokémon acknowledges the worth of a character and forms a temporary partnership with them, battling alongside them and following their suggestions in battle. This is a temporary, situational partnership that is dissolved as the situation that triggered it ends. In addition, it must be compliant with the specific Legendary's lore.

To request a Bonding Situation, contact @StellarWind Elsydeon with a detailed description of the planned encounter plot, the species to be encountered and the reasoning behind it - as you would for a typical encounter. However, also include a link to an up-to-date bio of your character and the reasoning for the legend partnering with the character.

Capture and Ownership

A number of Legendary Pokémon have been confirmed in multiple forms of canon as being parts of a species (rather than one-off individuals). Similarily, multiple forms of canon confirm that some (weaker) legendaries can be defeated - and indeed, Legendary Pokémon have been shown to be parts of the teams of some particularly remarkable trainers (such as the Pyramid King Brandon). Therefore - it should make sense that some Legendary Pokémon can be captured.

However, capture and ownership of a legend is no easy feat, nor is it to be taken lightly. Your characters are allowed up to ONE Legendary Pokémon each for obvious balance related concerns - and legendaries must be earned. To get permission to capture a legendary, contact @StellarWind Elsydeon with your request, complete with an up-to-date character bio, as you would with a Bonding situation. However, note that for a capture situation the character must be a very good trainer that has been doing this for a while - and you must be able to prove it.

If you are a good and trusted RPer, mature enough and meeting a certain standard of quality - and assuming your character is deemed good enough to handle a legendary - you will be tentatively approved to capture a legendary. Once you receive permission, you must detail the capture of the legendary. This can be done in the form of an RP or a fan-fic - but in any case, it must be submitted to our approval. The capture must be sufficiently difficult and convincing - and if we deem it so - congratulations, your character has captured a Legendary Pokémon.

Bear in mind that with great power comes great responsibility. You may use your Legendary in RPs that you have created - but if you intend to involve a character who has a Legendary in another person's RP, ask for the thread creator's permission. Needless to say, we will put a certain limit on the amount of Legendaries owned - can't have the entire universe run around with a Darkrai or something, now, can we? (Pokecharm Rules by

Please vote for what legendary we should go after first. I am leaving some out for certain reasons I will explain if asked.

Oh no. If you don't have a specific target in mind yet and a good reason for such, then I cannot give a blanket approval for this. Thread locked.
