This is probably my most ambitious project here to date: a full-scale, interconnected roleplay of the Pokemon world. Different threads for all the regions, and free travel(within reason) between them. Modeled a little after the Five Clan Roleplay, with its own ideas, of course, but I admire the five clan roleplay for surviving so long, so they must be doing some things right.
Obviously, this is a very ambitious project, and I'd need dedicated people to pull this off. It'd be a lot of work, but I believe we can manage it if we work hard enough. c:
Kanto - ? Johto - ? Hoenn - BlubberyWhales Sinnoh - LikeAZubat Unova - ? Kalos - Blaze
Task list:
Four helpers to take over the other regions Layouts, similar, but different from region to region Pokedex Rules Joining Maps+world map Anything else!

Oh my goodness, yes. I will help as much as I can! You took my favorite region, so can I have Kalos? XD

whoops, sorry. :P Sinnoh's my fave, best region ever.
Certainly. Shall we get started planning?

Agreed! Although I liked Kalos second best. ^.^ It was so pretty.
Anyway, sure! Where do you want to start? I have to live for class in about an hour, but until then, let's do this.

Well, I can prolly start making a Pokedex thread in drafts, so I got that covered.
Shall we do rules and joining? Start simple.

Alright. If you need help, I am here!
And sure! Do you want me to do joining form and you do rules, or vice versa?
Also, a few questions: One: Will the Gym Leaders, Elite Four, and Champions be OCs, or the ones already in game? Two: How will we set up trainers going from region to another to become a champion everywhere? I guess what I'm saying is... after your team is trained up, defeating the other regions will be a piece of cake.

For the Pokedex, I'm thinking of having sprites. What gen should they be from? I was thinking the gen the Pokemon was introduced in. So gen 1 for Bulbasaur, gen 2 for Dunsparce, etc.
Oh, the gen 1+2 sprites I'm finding have white backgrounds...so maybe I'll go with box sprites.

I'll do he rules, you the joining form, then we'll critique each other's work. Since I know that I tend to be super lax while writing rules.
1: I was thinking OCs, so we can have this be an undefined time with no previous evil teams active, so we can make our own. Or maybe revive old ones. 2: Hm, that's a good point. Well, if someone is the champion of one region, they can't be a champion of another, since champions are leaders of the region. They can rescind their title to the highest E4 or the next trainer to beat them and go be the champion of another. Maybe we should disregard levels for the most part, and have Pokemon battles be about strategy. Or maybe we could make everyone pull an Ash, and keep at most one pokemon while going to another region.

Sorry for the brief disappearance. I had animals to feed.
Alright, I will get started on that immediately!
1: Alright, I thought so. We could have all of the teams be revived and start working together. Haha.
2: Yeah, I think the Ash idea is the way to go. We could also have it where you have to get all of your first gym badges before moving on to get all your second gym badges, but that seems like a hassle. Although it would encourage movement between regions.

Joining Form Screen Name: Rp Name: Gender: Description: Personality: Team: Other:
Alright, there's three things I think should be added, but I don't know what to call them or if they're even if a good idea: Relationship status. Region... orientation? Start? As in, what region they are from. Maybe what town, even? Umm... shoot! I had a third thing, but I cannot remember.

1: Even Aqua and Magma? ;P 2: Yeah, and that's not canon. The regions will mostly be separate, though people aill be encouraged to make characters in all of them.
Also, I think people should be able to challenge gyms in any order, and leaders will scale down their teams accordingly. Your thoughts on that?

Post by Winona on Sept 19, 2016 16:22:10 GMT -5
1: Yeah, I don't know how that would work. XD What was the original Hoenn bad guys? 2: Ooh, yeah. Sounds good. So will characters basically stick in the region they were born in or decide to go on their adventure in?
Ooh! I remember. Question 3: Will there be other types of Poke.on people? Like coordinators, maybe professors, etc.
Yeah, I like the scaling down idea. ^.^

3: Naturally! I don't like it when there's no other choices. So Trainers, Breeders, Coordinators, Researchers. Ant others I'm missing?

I didn't realize until this morning, when I woke up, that I hadn't responded to this. ^.^" Yes, I like the idea of doing the sprites from whatever Gen they come from. Although, if all else fails, I'd just use Gen 6 sprites since, well, they're the nicest. What should I do since the joining form is more or less done?

Sorry mate, I got super busy for a week.
Well, what do you think you could do?

•Be Pleasant Be friendly to everyone, even if they aren't your favorite person, and as a whole, keep personal problems out of here. Bad days happen, and feel free to talk if you need to, but don't make a habit out of it. c:
•Be Active You can't have a roleplay if you aren't active. Your characters will never be deleted from the roleplay, but after a week(less if you're actively posting on other threads), any current roleplays involving your character will be dissolved in order to free up the other person's character. If you want to leave permanently, just let us know, and we'll remove your characters.
•No Cheating That means power-playing, god-modding, spotlighting, any of that. If you need something defined, just ask. Legendaries are super-rare, and in general, they're only allowed for plots. Maybe sometime in the future that'll change, but don't get your hopes up. Also, no excessive shinies or too many egg/move tutor/tm moves. Use your common sense, or just ask us if it's alright.
•Communicate If you got a problem with anyone, whether it be rudeness, their roleplaying style, or anything, talk to them! Maybe they'll realize their mistakes and fix them. If the problem persists, that's when you should involve one of the mods.
•Get Involved If you want a place in the current plot, or want to make your own, just ask! We'll try to fit you in somewhere. Also, there's six regions to join; no need to only have characters in Hoenn.
Anything to add? I tend to be pretty chill on rules, which might not be the best thing for a big roleplay.

Ack, I've been busy, too. Sorry for the little poof nonsense, but I should be here now.
Hmm... so for each region page, will there be a Pokedex on that one, too? Because if so, I could work on my Kalos region dex. XD
As for layouts, I cannot make layouts for the life of me. Should we ask someone else to do so? I'm assuming there's little layout shops on here...? o.O
I could get maps of the regions from somewhere, if that would help. Maybe find the town definitions, too.

I know someone who does Layouts blaze, and they are so good omg
Anyway....
One of my ideas consist of the outline for the rp:
First post Introduction About Rules History of that Region
Second Post Landmarks of the Region Gym Leaders and Elite Four Pokémon of the Region (I have a book of all the Pokémon from all the regions so we could use that to make it easier) Badges Characters Joining Form (I claim dibs on this because I'm excited lol)
Third Post Memebers and Activity (I will get more into this in a little bit) RP News OOC News Seasons and Weather
This is a basic outline, if you want me to add things please let me know!

I can do banners, up to a point. They aren't very fancy so if you can get your friend to do stuff, that'd be pretty great.
That's pretty detailed, pfft. That plan looks pretty good; I might change up a couple things later, since I tend to like to have joining form+rules close by and characters to have their own post. And occasionally have the first post just be a banner+a table of contents so folks can jump to the post they want, but that's up in the air.
Blaze already did a joining form, but you can certainly look over it and add/remove stuff/give it formatting. And I did some rules if you wanna read over them/make then a little stricter because I'm always super lax on rules.
There's sites with Pokemon from each region+their routes. I don't think we need a separate pokedex for each region, just gotta post which Pokemon are on which route.
Also, this hasn't been brought up yet, but I wanna try to get this up before Sun/Moon. We can have a few folks join, and then pick the most responsible to take over Alola. Perhaps we should give people a couple weeks to play it as well, and for the sprites to be properly ripped.
We won't even work on Alolan dex or cities or anything, as I personally am avoiding all spoilers(haven't seen anything at all since the announcement of the new Rotom), and some other folks might be as well.

Also: Kanto and Johto. They have a shared league but are two different regions, and since we're basically having the people who run the threads play the champion, we have two options.
1) We combine Kanto and Johto into one thread run by one person.
2) Since this is set in the future after all the gamrs, we could have Johto break away from Kanto sometime in the past(relative to the roleplay), setting up their own league.
I prefer 2. It gives Johto a neat, unique history, and possibly a plot hook. The only reason we would go with 1 is if we can't get enough people to run all the threads.

I agree with the Alola agreement. Wait until it's been released and out for a bit.
I also like having my characters on their own post and my rules and joining form together, or close anyway.
I also like the Job to breaking away from Kanto idea. ^.^ although I agree that if we can't get enough people, just combine them. Even temporarily and make it a plot of Johto breaking away, maybe?

Having it be an active plot in the roleplay might be a little too much politics for most folks. XP And realistically, it would take super long. Like Brexit. The UK isn't gonna leave the EU for several years because of negotiations and crap. (I'm currently writing an essay about Brexit, or I should be, so I gotta draw the comparison)

Nope. As you can probably tell by the rules, I'm more of a "pretty much anything within reason as long as you talk about it" fellow.
But I did just realized I should add something about legendaries.

The rules cover a broad spectrum so I think you're good quite honestly. Unless you wanted to put a specific limit to how many pokeballs, shinies, eggs, etc...that people could have
