Welcome back to Pokécharms! We've recently launched a new site and upgraded forums, so there may be a few teething issues as everything settles in. Please see our Relaunch FAQs for more information.

good lord XD Delilah does not approve if this statement.
Yeah, she's in uber denial that he's dead. Extra awkward cause she won't even find the body unless it doesn't sit well in lady's stomach <w<
Alright, up. Made Gerald's response short, but it has an impact,Ye?
Damian approves of this statement however if he were to be questioned by an outside source he would deny all accountability towards said confirmation.
I like how it's Gerald of everyone present to ask Salem for some modesty.
Awesome entry Burble.
I liked that detail you put in with the whole Champion thing, Mega. I love little world building things, like the fact remnants of the teams are left behind, the Sawsbuck and Boufflant conflict, etc..
Thank you haha, I enjoyed your post too, the tidbits of addressing the way Salem was made me smile. But, I actually didn't know a lot about team Plasma before that post, I read all of that and found it super interesting, at first I was just going to address them, and then I found out I never really knew what they were doing that was considered bad, having not played black/white 1 or 2
I ALSO FOUND CONCEPT ART OF THE SHADOW TRIAD :')
Sorry, concept art is like catnip or cocaine to me. Shits great.
Well, short and punchy is the way we roll, right?
I liked your post though! Especially with how awkward Gerald is around everybody. Even Cassie. Well, I guess the fact that there's a naked islander around doesn't help. Still, Gerald is so adorkable.

I find it interesting to see who many people coming in here completely ignore the very first comment and only real request of this RP

We're generally not allowed to own legendaries on this site unless we have permission from the admins. But, since you're not using it anyway, I suppose that's okay? I'm not very sure. Anyway, could you be a bit more detailed on his appearance? Give us a ballpark figure for his height instead of just saying 'quite tall'. Also, give us a bit more meat on the background. We're sort of going on a pretty high standard now as Nygenn mentioned.

What do you mean "Ballpark figure" if I may ask?
A number. Is he 5'10, or 6'5? Something of the like.
Jaiden
Age, 19
6'2
Floyd
Age, 16
6'2
Did I go overboard?

Nah, I don't know about where you're from but in my country that's a common length for boys that age. Compared to our cast, and considering the source material Floyd is on the tall side though, but that just makes him stand out, especially since he's so shy.
Did I over do my moves? And should I make my Gengar weaker?
Personally I don't really care about the power of your pokemon so much as the way you'll be presenting it. How are your creative writing skills? Oh and what's the deal with Jaiden's Kaleidoscope eyes?
Gotta love the Showdown Teambuilder. Makes things ten times easier.
In my personal opinion I find your Gengar to be absolutely fine. Although I'm not sure what the deal with items is, I'm pretty sure they get taken from the Pokemon when they're captured in the hotel, so that Focus Sash might not exist.
That's all up to Astral though.
I love the use of Toxic and Hex, it's the moves that can be used in conjunction with one another that really shine.

Well, glad to hear his mannerisms got a rise out of you all! It's half of what makes him one of my favorites to mess with. That and June, since they bounce off each other well.Well, short and punchy is the way we roll, right?
Yep! Not items like Potions but berrys and "battle itens". Added it in gen 2.
Items are literally the current metas butter. Unless your running acrobatics, there's absolutely no need to go without an item.
Mega Stones, Life Orb, Assault Vest, Choice Items and many more are all constantly used in competitive.
I don't know if you know about this Nygenn, but there is a handy teambuilder on a site called Pokemon Showdown. It's basically a battle simulator for the competitive scene.

Here's the link.
Well, in the anime in order to mega evolve Pokemon need to have a mega stone. The way they get around holding these is with pendants, necklaces, bracelets, ect.
I'm assuming Pokemon hold berries by using pouches or hold scarfs by tying them to their body, as you said.
Once again though, I'm really not sure how items are working at the moment. I just assumed they all got stolen by the team running the contest when the hotel was gassed.
I'm thinking of changing Swift's theme song into the one Floyd now has, change Floyd's theme song into the one Damian now has, and finally give Damian this new song.
What do you guy think? Also if there are any songs you really don't agree with, let me know and I'll see if I can change it. I'm not too sure about some of them myself anyway, but decided I could always change things later when I discover better songs.

I challenged myself to recreate this bit of the album using music from the main series Pokemon games only.
This is what I personally think of each character. I honestly think Nygenns album is ten times better (it also has more to work with than main series soundtracks). I just had some spare time, and this is what came to mind. Also, spoiler warning for bits of music you haven't heard before in the main series.

Whoooaaa Cassie's theme is awesome!! Why do you lack confidence in your work? It's amazing! I really liked how it kind of sounds 'French' with the violins, it really gives a feel of who Cassie is and where she comes from. Awesome! I also sneaked a listen into Salem's tune, and I think the exotic feel you get from it is actually quite a strong indicator of who he is. Your playlist is pretty sweet!
"What is it with Salem charming all the redheads?" PentheWonderful asks me.
"It's not Salem charming them," I tell her. "It's the combination of mocha skin and green eyes that they can't handle. Salem used it to make Aidinia and Gerald squirm, and Delilah used it to attract first Alex, and then Apollo. I think we simply have a Type Advantage over redheads."
In the car now in about 2 hours after I get m wife settled into her first pottery class this semester I will be able to start posting

Wow XD I never put that together. That's pretty funny actually
Little post for Lin
Short post for Mina but didn't have much to work with.
I'm alive...hehe I'll work on a post for Lily as soon as I fully wake up. Did I miss much lol?
Are you planning on doing a post for Megan too?
Discussion-wise or roleplay? XD Because for the roleplay involving Lily, then no, not really. Nova had Floyd hear her sing though.
