I regret making Brandon get his Pokedex early because the plot forces him to stay there until everybody use gets there Pokedex's.
yeah! sorry for the late reply@Vaporeonn By 'other friend' are you referring to Brian?
This is KC DECKER. I get that being the alolan champoin was a bit much but could I make a new trainer that just travels around the regions like Ash or something???? I already have one in mind for the Kanto region and I could make it so he is just starting his journey and choosing his starterAlright everyone, sorry for the delays in posting. The holidays have kept me busy with traveling and visiting family.
@LFS, yes! We are still accepting!
@KC Decker: Denied, for now. Unfortunately, Kcel is too powerful for where we are in the RP. Most of the other Trainers are just receiving their first Pokémon or PokéDex. Unless he was in Kanto on a special mission, such as an agent investigating the evil team or something, I don't think he would fit into the story. Feel free to message me if you need some help with edits or ideas!
As for everyone else, I'd like this RP to pick up a bit, so I'm going to try to post more often.
@Blunt Imp and @The Kitsune, it looks like a few players are waiting on you guys to battle or not battle. (It is obviously up to your characters and their motivations.) Please try to post as soon as possible or, if you are unavailable, I can take over your character if you need.

Hello, Wapiti.
I've got a couple of questions for you before I consider joining, to test the waters. If they come across as challenges, consider it a compliment. It means I consider you someone worth challenging, because you show the potential for it.
1. What was your endgame in making this roleplay? Did you design it with the intention to finish? Or did you have an itch to write some time ago, and made this thread because it felt right at the time? Pokemon Role Play has about 20 live RPs and 2000 dead ones, so I'd like to know what I'd be getting into, here.
2. Did you mean what you said about the Team Rocket Agent class, specifically the part about stealing other trainers' pokemon? Because I agree with LFS: villains spice things up, and conflict makes a plot. If you did, and if I fill out a profile to be accepted, know that my intentions are to go STRAIGHT for the rare starter pokemon of the honest Trainers. It's not like they'll have no chance to get their pokemon back if- when- I steal them, but I will use it as a tool for forwarding the plot. Perhaps anyone else who plans to be in this for the long term should voice their opinions on this as well.
3. Will you meet my condition for joining? It's a steep one, but if you accept me, I in turn need to accept you. My condition is a new post from you every day, every 24 hours. I will do the same. My goal, when joining a story, is to make it to the end of the story, and a daily posting habit is how I plan to get there. Each of us gets three strikes on this.
As you can see, I'm rather serious. Looking forward to your response.
He battles Gyms. So will I be able to join the roleplayHi there!
So to answer your first question, I would say a combination of both, speaking honestly. From the beginning, I had a basic skeleton for a longterm plot in my mind, though I like to leave it up to the players. While I do have a climax planned, how the characters move on from there is largely up to the members of the RP, as I personally believe that the GM taking too much control of the story leads to a less enjoyable experience, or at least it has for me in the past. I designed this RP more with a desire for storytelling than writing necessarily, and wanted to do it collaboratively. While I do plan to make an honest attempt to finish, it is not only up to me, but also the players.
Secondly, the Team Rocket class is able to steal other Trainers' Pokémon, though the victims and those around them are obviously able to counter the attacks. For example, if a player's character is robbed, I have my doubts that the others would stand idly by as this happens. I was hoping that people would want to play as villains, as I believe it leads some fun conflict scenarios (fun to write, and also to read) and would allow for themes of light vs. dark, which I planned to make a staple of this RP.
Unfortunately, while I would like to say that I can make an in-depth post every day, in reality, I cannot. I am a full-time university student, am involved in a long distance relationship, and enjoy a somewhat healthy social life, so obviously I have certain aspects of my life that take priority over the roleplay. However, as I stated in my last post, I plan to be far more active than I have been the past few weeks. So while I don't believe it will be possible for me to post every 24 hours, I do think that if other players are posting, it will allow for me to advance the plot or chip in the story on an ALMOST DAILY basis.
I hope this clears some things up. You bring up some very good points and I look forward to hearing from you!
@KC Decker, what kind of Trainer will Tyrone be? Does he plan to battle Gyms or is he simply traveling the region?
@LFS: Accepted!
