The original Thinking Inside the Box was the first roleplay I ever attempted to create, and the only one of my attempts to actually start. I've considered making a new roleplay for quite a while, so seeing as how I've improved drastically, I decided to remake it.
As the name implies, Thinking Inside the Box, occurs inside a trainer's PC box, with the pokemon inside living out their lives peacefully. However, PC box was far from ordinary. You see, the trainer who owns the pokemon we'll be roleplaying as, designed thier own take on the PC box system. The pokemon inside the PC are easily able to traverse between, these boxes, though virtually all of them have a specific box they call home. Each box is designed to appeal to different types of pokemon, so they can feel at home. Admittedly, I based the boxes on the zones from pokepark. Nevertheless, it's fine if you've never played it, as the boxes don't match their exact layout, and I'll describe each of them below. Each of the boxes is lead by a box leader, usually either the strongest or wisest pokemon in that box. For anyone who was in the original, this doesn't take place after the first one, and you're recommended to not use you're character(s) from the original, as that would make things repetitive.
Rules:
1. Follow the rules pokecharms has already set. You can read them here. Until you've read them I refuse to respect you.
2. Please refrain from swearing.
3. Romance is aloud, and somewhat encouraged, but don't take it too far. You know what I mean.
4. The trainer is not a shiny hunter. Don't make it seem like they are.
5. You are aloud a maximum of 4 characters.
6. You can make your character a box leader as long as there isn't already a leader for that box.
7. If you read the rules, say you didn't.
8. Your character(s) shouldn't be the same species as someone else's.
9. You can't roleplay as fakemon.
10. I can add rules if I have to.
11. Death is not allowed.
12. Your bio must be accepted before you join.
Boxes:
Meadow Box:
A lush meadow with a river separating two halves, connected by a bridge. Many pokemon who are new to the PC find themselves being drawn to this box, as it's one of the more lively ones. Most of the younger pokemon in the box live here, and it's very popular with grass, bug, and flying types.
Beach Box:
With warm sand, cool water, and even some furniture to relax on, even pokemon who don't reside there often find themselves visiting the Beach Box, and with good reason. It's like a tropical vacation only a short walk away. Of course, it's the perfect place for water pokemon, but flying types enjoy nesting there as well.
Iceberg Box:
Connected to the beach box by a bridge, the iceberg zone couldn't be more different. Not surprisingly, it resemble a large iceberg, and is as cold as one as well. Though, if you can handle the frigid temperatures, the iceberg box is a beautiful winter wonderland, especially at night, most easily appreciated by ice and water types.
Cavern Box:
The Cavern Box is a large system of tunnels, designed to be easy to navigate. With no sunlight at all, this box would be completely barren if it weren't for it's two saving graces. The first of which being the hot springs, attracting any pokemon who enjoys the heat. The second being the Cavern Box's mine-cart system, acting as a ride for the younger pokemon. The pokemon most likely to live there though, are rock, ground, fighting, and steel types.
Magma Box:
The Magma Box is a heated crater, only accessible by taking a specific mine-cart track from the Cavern Box. Multiple pools of artificial magma are scattered throughout the box, as it would be too dangerous to have real magma. Despite this, it's still hotter than the hot springs of the Cavern Box, so most pokemon chose to avoid it. It seems to be no problem for fire and fighting types, though, and it's a hot spot for strong pokemon, pun fully intended.
Haunted Box:
The most feared box in the PC, the Haunted Box boasts an impressively large mansion, big enough for all the pokemon of the box to reside in. In the haunted box, the skies are always dark, and the moon is always full, creating a dark atmosphere that keeps cowardly pokemon as far away as possible. Truthfully though, there's nothing to fear about the Haunted Box, especially for ghost, dark, poison, and psychic types
Granite Box:
The Granite Box is designed to resemble an ancient ruin. It's one of the more peaceful boxes, so most of the older and wiser pokemon relax there. There are statues of legendary pokemon throughout the ruin, so young pokemon have began challenging themselves to find them all in their free time. Most of the dragon types in the PC call this box their home.
Flower Box:
If you make your way to the end of the ruin of the Granite Box, you'll find yourself in the beautiful meadow full of flowers known as the Flower Box. It's the smallest box in the PC, as well as the least populated, making it more peaceful than any other box. Most pokemon in the PC have never seen it, and many have never even heard of it, and the pokemon who live there don't want that to change anytime soon, most of them being grass or fairy types.
There are also some areas that are not considered boxes:
The Dark Forest:
The Dark Forest is an area at the back of the Meadow Box that pokemon are restricted to enter. It was originally going to be another box, but the trainer scrapped the idea for an unknown reason, though it's rumored it was originally going to be the Haunted Box. Due to it being "deleted," the Dark Forest has become unstable, and certainly unsafe for the residents of the PC, so the Box Leader's decided to put up a barbed wire fence, and multiple warning signs, until they found an alternate method of blocking it off.
The Meeting Place:
The Meeting Place is in the center of the PC. It's known as the Meeting Place because it connects the Meadow, Beach, Cavern, Granite, and Haunted Boxes. I the middle is a large tree-house many young pokemon find joy in climbing, but also houses two buttons that only activate when a box leader is in the vicinity. The first button alerts all of the box leaders that a meeting is being held. The second teleports the box leader who pressed it to the Sky Pavilion. The only pokemon who lives there is Oratio
The Sky Pavilion:
The Sky Pavilion is an area only accessible from the button in the meeting place. It's used as a private area for the box leaders to discuss important matters without other pokemon eavesdropping.

Cavern: Piper (Grumpyface)
Magma: Tor (Glaceon Trainer)
Haunted: Harley (Lightless)
Granite: Dolus (Nintenduck)
Flower: Primula (Nintenduck)
Name: Oratio
Nickname: N/A
Gender: Male
Species: Chattot
Level: 10
Personality: Oratio takes it upon himself to be as responsible as possible at all times. His number one priority is to make sure the PC stays peaceful. He's usually seen flying overhead, making sure everyone stays out of trouble, and absolutely no one goes into the Dark Forest. Of course, as he's quite weak, he can't enforce his rules himself, and usually asks for help from the nearest box leader. He can sometimes be a bit nosy, but he still has good intentions.
Backstory: Oratio was one of the first pokemon to be caught by the trainer when they started their adventure. He was soon sent to the PC box, as he wasn't strong at all, so he took it upon himself to maintain order, and keep all of the other pokemon from getting into trouble.
Box: Meeting Place
Other: He works extra hard when the box leader are having a meeting.
Did you read the rules: Sorry, what is a read.
Name: Dolus
Gender: Male
Species: Eevee
Level: 75
Personality: Despite his size, Dolus isn't someone to underestimate. He's one of the finest battlers the PC box has to offer, and he isn't afraid to ruin someone's day if they're causing trouble. He has a very strong sense of justice, almost as if he's the batman of the PC. He's very hard to befriend, as he's grown bitter from something that will be explained in his backstory. Most of the pokemon in the box who know who he is, fear Dolus, and always make sure to stay out of his way.
Appearance: Dolus' ears droop down, almost touching the ground as he walks. His eyes are cold, and unfeeling, as if there's no soul behind them. His fur is a much darker shade of brown than normal, and overall kind of looks like an eevee if it got wet.
Backstory: Dolus was given to the trainer as an egg, along with his sister. They both hatched together, and were destined to be the best of friends, however, the trainer only wanted to use one eeveelution on their team, and picked Dolus' sister because she had better stats, leaving Dolus in the PC, were he grew bitter, angry that he was denied from the trainer team only because he was weaker than his sister. His sister went on to become the trainer's strongest pokemon, so she never left their team, so Dolus was never able to truly know his sister.
Box: Granite Zone
Other: He's a box leader.
Did you read the rules: Again, I'm not sure what that is.
Name: Primula
Gender: Female
Species: Ribombee
Level: 60
Personality: Primula is a glass-half-full kind of a person. She always tries to look at the benefit of the doubt. She's always smiling, hoping other will do the same. If anyone has trouble with anything, she's sure to help them as much as she can. Since she's the box leader of the Flower Zone, she sees Dolus a lot, and always tries to cheer him up, failing every time. As a result, getting Dolus to smile has become her life goal, sometimes going to the Granite zone just so see him. Some say she's in love, other's say she's just crazy, but everyone can admit that she's more determined than anything.
Backstory: When the trainer caught Primula, she was one of their strongest pokemon. They immediately put her on their team, and she won them multiple battles. There was, however, an issue. Primula didn't enjoy battling. She didn't like to hurt others, so, respecting her wishes, the trainer depisited her into the PC, were she's been living ever since.
Box: Flower
Other: Box leader
Did you read the rules: I purchased a book on how to read, but I can't figure out how to use it.
Name: Riley
Gender: Female
Species: Riolu
Level: 25
Personality: Riley is strange, to say the least. She's always training, running laps around whatever's near her, attacking the air for being so easy to attack, and battling anyone who accepts her challenge. Needless to say, most pokemon who see her are curious about why she trains so much when she isn't even on the trainer's team. Unfortunately, if anyone wants to get an answer out of her, they either have to be good at battling, or fast enough to catch up with her.
Backstory: One day, while walking in the woods, the trainer spotted Riley. Knowing how rare riolus were, he caught her before she knew what happened. Riley expected to be put on the trainer's team, but was deposited into the PC. Determined to get strong enough to show the trainer they were wrong, Riley began training, fighting anyone she could, hoping that eventually the day would come when the trainer realized how much of a fool they were for leaving her there.
Box: Magma
Other: Poor air.

Roleplay Sample:
Did you read the rules: Yay for illiteracy!As Gracidea spoke to Micheal, for the first time in his life, he wondered if what his parents did was truly right. He never considered how someone else would react to his past. To him, it seemed completely normal, but that was what he lived. He always thought he should do what his parents wanted him to, so he never thought about what he wanted. Parvus looked up at Micheal, almost as if it faced the same question, and wanted Micheal to answer for him. The more Micheal thought about it, the more clear his answer was. "It may seem a little strange, what they did, but I'm sure it what for the best. If they tried to take care of me themselves, they wouldn't be able to give me the attention I needed since they're so busy with their jobs. It hasn't been too challenging to leave. I didn't have many belongings at my aunts farm, and honestly, I think I'd rather have any life than not meet my parents at all. I have no doubt that they truly care about me, and this is proof of it." Micheal once again held up the medallion given to him by him mother. "This was my mother's most prize possession. It's been in my familly for generations, and she wanted me to have it."
It took me about three hours to make this, so you better be grateful.
