@FantasyApprentice Hi! Nice character! Although this is Foxex’s job, I would like to help you out a bit xd.

1. The age recommendation is 16+, not sure what 14 is gonna do.
2. A 14 year old being 4’11", I don’t think is average, although I could be wrong on that.
3. 60lbs is extremely underweight for a 14 year old, I think the average weight for an eight year old is 60lbs xd

Think that’s it!
wait where are your Pokémon, all I see are Gardevoir and Froakie xd.
Sorry if I sound rude.
 
bump up her age a bit, minimum is 16

Her height is fine if she's super petite but she's very under weight XD

Getting a Champion win is fine but not as a job, Diantha will still have her job, Jasmine would probably still be traveling and continuing her journey or having some other pursuits

Since your going for a participant, the battle style is not required, though you do not have her team lol.

also remember not to double post, just edit the previous post if you looking to make quick edits or additions.
 
@FantasyApprentice Accepted as Participant, remember to edit the info on your initial bio post along with her pokemon party so it slightly easier to find in this mess. and catch up reading on the RP if your interested or just the last few posts. its only 2 pages so far, and i'll be pushing the story forward again sometime this week.

EDIT: Wow, if 6'4 thats really tall for a girl, average american female height is bout 5'4" for reference

Yea, about characters being under 20 and them being Elite Four members, I'll just repeat my two cents here and why I don't exactly agree with it, but here (even though they aren't my character I have done worse, just not on Pokecharms):

For me, an Elite Four member is way above the pay grade of any normal trainer. Hell, even most Gym Leaders struggle against the first of four of the members, and I'm not even going to go into Champions.

You would have to have immense amount of experience for something like that. I don't like the games, as they don't portray this properly (especially when a 10-year-old can catch Legendaries, get Mega Stones and Key Stones super easily, among other things), and the anime kind of shows this better, but not as realistically as they should. They need butt tons of experience, and I am meaning years and years of experience to get to the level of even competing against the Elite Four, much less be one.

As for Acerola, yes, she is young and an Elite Four member, but that was because the league was new and they needed people to fill the roles (hell, they needed a champion and Professor Kukui became the league's first champion to fill the role). So of course, young'uns will be Elite Four members in the Alola League. Every other league has people who are at least older than 21 or look the part because it took them literal years to get themselves to that point. Some people are only there because of their affiliations with big name companies or crime syndicates that helped strengthen their team and basically paid the league to allow these guys in.

So a 14-year-old would only be viable, in my eyes, if the league was new and they needed people, or they were in a position through familial affiliations and they worked their Pokemon practically almost to death and fried their own brains learning about tactics and strategies that allowed them to get to that point. But if Acerola is 11-19 years of age, whose to say that she isn't at least 15 or 16 anyway?

And that's my passionate two-cents out of the way. XD

EDIT: Your character is fine being an E4 member at 18, I just have a slight disagreement with it because it doesn't match what I think it should be, but keep your character the same. This isn't my thread where I can demand it, and I personally don't want to because I can still see an 18-year-old E4 member. It just rocks my passionate Pokemon opinions a bit, but they don't matter right now. XD

Although, I would like to say that you don't have to be on at the same time as the OP creators to join. That's the thing about forums. You make a post, and you can wait up to a week for a response, and the thread keeps going as if it is still alive.

omg I’m such a mistake finder

@FantasyApprentice I find another mistake in your post, this time in your Pokémon.
Metagross. Is. Genderless.`

And I honestly think being an elite 4 member as 18 is fine, well for Alola. Even if Alola isn’t as new as it used to be, I still think they don’t have enough qualified people for the elite 4, so being an elite 4 member in Alola is fine.

Kalos on the other hand. Is a bit. How do I explain this. I don’t know how.
 
@FantasyApprentice I'm gona have to ask you to choose bewteen being an E4 member of either Kalos or Alola not both. It's all good man, its what the discussion forums are for lol

to give an example of the level of achievements, Ceres Aeons (Profile here), one of the Spire Masters, which is the highest rank you can achieve, at the Battle Spire, and currently there are only 3 named members out of 6, they are essentially league champions that have a more unique battle style and holds absolutely nothing back. She has 2 League champion victories and working on her third, and she's 20 years old, and Professional Pokemon trainer is basically her job along with a side of pokemon research.

This Post in the RP goes slightly more into detail of how the Spire Masters are and their battling mindset is, it's NOT fully flushed out, but its a start and will be further explained once people get the opportunity to challenge the Spire Masters.

sorry if its a lot of info XD

Attention all!

There will be a time skip with my next post, that will go up Wednesday at the earliest Friday at the latest.

The skip will jump to the ship docking at the island in the late afternoon, the opening ceremony will occur in the evening. Please conclude up any conversations or interactions you want to have and/or finish. The dinner meeting with the Spire Masters the night before should be concluding very soon. The opening ceremony will consist mainly minor info about the general rules of the Spire and the exhibition battle between Celeste and Ceres. It should take one to two posts tops.

Any questions, please ask :)

Oh that's cool, Pinch. I hope, when we do get to the fighting, that we have our Hydreigon's duel. That would be very fun to do. :D (then again, I'm all for having Pokemon of the same species fighting each other as a fun and simple building exercise to a rivalry).
 
@Pinch accepted participant

@Frontier Master We will be arrive with my next post, i should have it up by tonight. its a rather large post lol

@XanthousXatu basically the trainers got their Batlle Spire versions of their trainer cards, boarded the skyboat to get to the island, and my next post will be arriving at the island, most of the stuff is just character development and chatter that's been happening up till now
