Pokemon Chronicles: Episode I - Kanto

Gameplay​

The games system is fairly simple. Basically, after every Trainer has been accepted (3-5 people, depending on how many get Eevee or Pikachu with exceptional posts), the game will begin.​

I, myself, will not actually be playing the game. Instead, I will be the "Game Master", helping players along their Journies. I will control the wild Pokemon as well as other Pokemon Trainers, Team Rocket, Gym Leaders, Professor Oak, etc.​

The only things the players can control are their own characters and that character's Pokemon. Please do not try to "God Mod" and control other people's characters or Pokemon, or wild Pokemon either (as far as capturing them is concerned). Basically, you can fight the wild Pokemon, but I will be the one who decides if you catch it or not and how powerful it is depending on the quality of your post.​

The players will not necessarily post in a specific, pre-determined order but, regardless, I will post right after that last person and sometimes even after each player individual player, depending on how busy I am. Then the cycle will start all over again. Please read the forum Role Play rules if you have any other questions or concerns.​

Rules​

1) No Legendaries! I don't care who you are as a Trainer. No player will ever own a legendary Pokemon. Sorry. You may, however, get to control one for a limited amount of time during a special event...​

2) Play your Personality! Please, after you've spend the time creating an in-depth personality for your character, please make sure that you actually make that personality surface through good roleplaying. Otherwise, it is a waste of time.​

3) YOU MUST BE ACTIVE!!!! This is the most important rule for this RPG. If you are not active, don't even bother signing up. My goal is to have everyone log in and post AT LEAST once per day. It may seem extreme, but I feel that is the best way to keep the momentum and flow of the story going. If you are going to be away for a day or two, please let me know. I will control your character until you return.​

4) Kanto Pokemon Only! This is very important, seeing as we are roleplaying in the Kanto Region. This means that only Pokemon numbered 001-151 will appear during your adventures through Kanto. Please, please, please don't break this rule. We will move to other Regions later, I promise!​

5) Stay Together! This rule seems dumb, but it is very important. If the Pokemon Trainers don't stick together then the game gets very dull and unwieldy. Temporary straying is, of course, permitted but please do not overdo it. You guys are a team!​

6) HAVE FUN!! Anyone seen not having fun will be immedietly kicked, no questions asked. Sorry. If you are not here to have fun, you are gone...haha.​

dude this sounds really fun

Character Name: Bobby Baker
Gender: Male
Age: 16
Birthdate: November 3rd, 1991
Apperance: Bobby is about 5ft 5in tall and weighs about 120lb. Very thin he's skin tone is tan almost to the point of looking like he is from the Caribbean as he spends most of his time outside. He has a mess of curly black hair that is constantly knotted and has dark brown Hershey chocolate eyes. He not on the strong side so he's very boney to the point that you can count his ribs. Among his family he is tall and lanky when he is actually rather short. Wears a brown unzipped jacket all the time with a black/brown shirt underneath. Wears blue jeans and and faded blue shoes. The shoes are a pair of hover shoes that Bobby has invented. Bobby also sports a pair of goggles that his dad gave him for his 8th birthday on his head that lets him see in the rain and sandstorms. They also double as binoculars and lets him see his and the opponents pokemon's stats. Bobby has a red bandanna that he wears over his hair to hid a giant scar that he recieved when he was younger when he fell off a cliff during a fight.
Personality: Bobby on the surface seems to be rather edgy and sarcastic. While he has a sarcastic streak a mile long deep down he is a very happy carefree boy. Always thinking up random thoughts and saying them out loud Bobby is known to draw odd looks from people. He also dosen't know when to keep his mouth shut, saying the first thing that comes to his head, most of the time inappropriate at the time. Tries to come off as a ladies man, Bobby actually is hopeless when it comes to dating. This isnt surprising as he is known to be shy at first, but when you get to know him he is one of the closet friends you'll have.
History: Born prematurely on November 3rd 1991, it looked like Bobby wasn't going to last long in this world. But as fate would have it Bobby is a fighter at heart and manage to recover from his unknown condition. His first few years were rough living with his mom in his Grandma's house while his dad was at college. As soon as he graduated Bobby's father took his mom and Bobby into his small apartment in Pallet Town. They soon quickly moved to a condo where Bobby was introduced to Pokemon and other kids. In kindergarden the other kids distrusted Bobby so he turned to his wild Pokemon friends for support. Their friendship didn't last long as soon Bobby and his family moved to Vermillion City.

There life was even harder for Bobby as he was now an older brother to a little brother and a little sister. Now he had to contend with new friends, a new place, and new family members. The three years here were Bobby's loneliest as no one wanted to talk to him and he was constantly watching his brother and sister, despite being 8, and watching his parents marriage fall apart. It was at this time Bobby was given his goggles by his dad.

When Bobby was 9 disaster struck. Bobby's dad moved his family back to Pallet Town and then 2 weeks after being moved in Bobby's dad left. The family was left in pieces as Bobby's mom worked 2 jobs and his siblings were sent to various relatives. Bobby then found a way to vent out his anger at his dad. Street fighting. This started Bobby's path to the person he is today.

When Bobby was 13 he beat one of the challengers in a fight on a cliff, but the challenger was a sore loser and shoved him off the cliff. Bobby scraped his head on the way down which resulted in a scar on his forehead. Luckily his wild Pokemon friends from his younger days found and rescued him. When he got home he realized what a burdon he was being to his mother so he decided to go look for his dad as a Pokemon Trainer. His mom forbid it but in the end they compromised and he would leave when he was 16. During this time he built his hover shoes which help him cross sand, water in short periods of time, and also made him go faster. He is now 16 and is ready to start his journey.
Preferred Starter: Charmander

This is a modified version of one of my characters. xD; Also, a question about Eevee...I assume that there's going to be a Pokémon Chronicles for each region, so I could choose not to evolve her until Hoenn, right?


Character Name: Jack Wellington

Gender: Male

Age: 16

Birth Date: July 18, 1991

Apperance: Jack is, to put it simply, what every male aspires to be in terms of appearance. At 6'0, he is an ideal height. His dark brown hair is worn in a shaggy style, parted down the middle, choppy fringe falling just above his eyelids. The rest of his hair lightly graces his chin, but dares not fall further. Jack has a slender physique, accentuated by slight muscle. His eyes are a sparkling emerald green hue. His skin is pale, flawless in texture, not a hint of acne to be found. His lips are thin, rose-colored. His abdomen is hugged by a tight-fitting black tee-shirt, atop of which he wears a white button down tee-shirt, which he leaves open and unbuttoned. On his left wrist, he wears a black sweatband, and on the right side of his hips, a single silver chain dangles. On his right thumb, he also wears a thick ring, decorated with an ornate celtic design. Jack wears light blue jeans, overtop of which you can see the waistband of his boxers. On his person, he carries a cell phone, and is almost never without it. He speaks in a smooth British accent. Yes, Jack is incredibly attractive.

Personality: Unfortunately, ugly people never have the appearance to match. And that's exactly what Jack is--an ugly person. Though he looks good, he's not one to associate with. Jack is rude, and will not hesitate to take advantage of others. He is a thief of sorts--while he has never stolen anything tangible, Jack has the habit of sneaking in to places where he does not belong...and not paying for it, of course. He is arrogant, and holds himself in the highest possible regard. He gets annoyed with others easily, often resorting to spouting rude remarks at those around him. Jack is also an incorrigible flirt. It's possible that he has a softer side...he just has yet to reveal it.

History: Jack was born sixteen years ago to a wealthy family in Pallett Town. He had been given anything his little infant heart desired, and that happened to be a lot. He was given private tutors. He was taught piano, a skill that he still retains to this day. However, despite all the Pokémon memorabilia he owned, Jack was not allowed to own an actual Pokémon. His parents told him it was dangerous, he could get hurt. This, Jack didn't like. Though he was merely five, he felt he could handle a Pokémon. Despite his protests, his parents would not give him what he truly wanted. Being the spoiled brat he is, he couldn't let the issue go.

Now, we're brought to Jack's kindergarten years. He was still forced to go through intensive study sessions, which he slowly began to distance himself from. Jack's one goal was to obtain a Pokémon and go on a journey, never mind that he wasn't even old enough to go outside without being watched constantly by his parents. It was at this time that he met his first friend, a sickly ebony-haired boy named Rem. This boy was frail, unable to go outside for extended periods of time due to a chronic heart condition. Jack never minded. He would go visit Rem (with his parents by his side, of course!), and play with him inside. Slowly, the two boys became closer. Rem, too, wanted to be a Pokémon trainer, though he accepted the fact that he would never be able to, due to his illness. Nevertheless, the two boys would often go on "adventures" around the house, challenging and defeating the gym leaders one by one. These adventures would often end with a warm plate of cookies and Jack's departure.

Upon reaching the age of eight, Jack convinced his parents to allow him to go to public school. Initially, the request had shocked his mother into fainting, but Jack soon explained that he desired to interact with more people. Plus, Rem was to be entering public school as well, his heart problem mild for the time being. The two friends were soon joined by a girl around their age, a small blonde named Mia. Of course, it was obvious from the beginning that both boys liked Mia, planting the seeds of jealousy in them both. However, their friendship was not so easily ruined--the two had been inseparable for three years, after all. Unfortunately, this was all about to change.

When the three were in middle school, at the ripe age of thirteen, Rem set his mind to the task of asking Mia out. Of course, this didn't sit too well with Jack, who instantly planted his fist in Rem's face upon learning that he had every intention of asking Mia out. Ultimately, neither boy worked up the courage to do it--despite being her two best friends, neither of them thought they had a chance with Mia, one of the most popular girls in school. The two became rivals. This was rectified shortly, when Mia told them she would never date either of them, and that they were too good of friends to let something like this come between them. Surprisingly, they both accepted this explanation and became best friends once more.

And now, we've reached the turning point in Jack's life. The three best friends were all fifteen. It was the start of high school, the beginning of their freshman year. Only two of them would make it to the start of the week. On the first day of high school, Jack received a phone call from Rem's hysterical mother, who told him that Rem had passed away in his sleep. Jack's reaction had been pure shock. The phone fell from his fist, and he backed into the corner, curling up into a ball. He did not go to school that week. Instead, he sat in his room and cried until his body was completely devoid of water. When he finally emerged, he looked sick as can be, and had to miss yet another week due to illness.

It was then that Jack changed dramatically. By the start of sophomore year, he was dating Mia. The two were now practically polar opposites--Mia spent all her time in the library studying, and Jack went out on his weekends, drinking his days away. Despite this, the two seemed happy together. That is, until Jack found out that he was about to become a father. He panicked, and, while he told Mia he would support her and the child, he was scared. After all, they were merely sixteen years old. He got his way out, however. It so happened that one day, in the midst of cleaning (it was a work scholarship--Mia didn't have enough money to pay for books), Mia fell down the stairs, causing her to lose the baby.

After breaking it off with Mia, Jack set his mind to one thing. He would live the dream--both his and Rem's. He would be a world-class Pokémon trainer.

Preferred Starter: Eevee

To Zimvee: You have a great start there, but I'm afraid your sign-up is just a little short. Look to Trainer Kat's Sign Up as an example. So, I cannot accept your sign-up at this time. Add about a paragraph more to each area and fix those minor grammtical errors, and you are golden. Charmander will be reserved for you for 24 hours, then I'm afraid someone else can claim him.

Character Name: Derek Stone
Gender: Male
Age: 15
Birth Date: April 21st

Apperance: The first thing most people notice from Derek is his stature. He stands nearly 6'1, probably 6'2. He has a very rough build, showing marked arm and torso muscles. He weighs around 135 pounds and is very strong and endurant. He can go for miles carrying heavy stuff and get only minimal tired. The rest of his body muscles aren't so out there, but they are still marked. His skin isn't completely white, but he is does not look like he tans for hours. He doesn't even tan, for the matter. His skin has a natural mixture of white and very light tan color. His arms and legs are somewhat large, as well as his fingers.

His hair is very short and almost naturally spiked up on almost all areas. His head has a 'normal' shape, and his face and everything on it is somewhat small. His eyes are round and have a hazel-like color. His nose is slightly pointed, and so are his ears, but to a very small extent. Another notable fact is that he always seems blushed, this due to a medical condition known as rosacea, in which his cheeks are always pink, and sometimes his forehead. His teeth are pearl white and straight, and the skin on his hands and face is smooth, even though it's a bit 'rough' in his arms.

He is almost wearing jeans, or sometimes baggy shorts, with sneakers that allow him to run and move freely. On top, he is mostly wearing a T-Shirt or polo and some thick jacket or sweatshirt. He very rarely wears long sleeves. His backpack is plain light brown. He wears a plain watch and and a few other stuff on his wrist.

Personality: Derek is a a person with a great overall personality. Calm, relaxed and respectful when he is in a peaceful place, Fiery and brave when in danger and always optimistic and cheerful. He is somewhat quiet and shy around people he doesn't, again, always treating everyone with respect, and he may be afraid to start a conversation. Once he has gotten confident with the people that surround, he will always be extremely kind and courteous. He is very loyal and acknowledges friendship as one of the most important aspects of life. He isn't afraid of anything, or at least anything he knows about. Even as shy as he can be, he will always be up for greeting or helping anyone in need, and will risk his life with no second thought for a cause.

Perhaps some of his worst features is that he may be too competitive, and even though you need to push it really far to make him angry, you don't wanna see him do so. He can also take stuff too seriously and lie, even though they are about very small and sometimes non-important things. Anywho, he is a very cheerful person anyone can go to when it needs advice or is sad, as he almost never is. He gets a jolly out of helping people and the only bad moments for him are when his family or friends get hurt. He sees himself, both in appearance and personality as just a plain average and everyday guy. He can speak both English and Spanish very well.

History: Derek was born to a pretty much average family in the small Pallet Town. His fathers were quite caring and loving to him when he was young. He was rewarded and punished for his actions whenever needed. His father was a Pokemon Trainer, a quite good one, actually, and his mom used to be a Pokemon Center nurse. Derek was taught to do a load of things at early ages, like swimming, playing basketball and playing the electric bass at ages ranging from 3 to 6 years.

When he was in kindergarten, he used to be shy around people, something he still is, but also learned how to make friends. He was taught how to always be courteous and respectful to others and how to put everyone before him. Those were some reasons he was able to make friends. He was a very smart student and got very good grades on most of the subjects.

Derek has been adventurous since birth, so his father took him on explorations with him every once in a while. He took extreme care of him, so no one had to worry; and because of this Derek knows how to survive in the wild with basic survival skills, like building tents and things resembling that.

As he grew up, his bond with Pokemon grew. Both wild Pokemon and the Pokemon that were always around him. The idea started to appear on his head about capturing his own Pokemon and exploring all of the Region of Kanto, and maybe other regions; since he hadn't ever gone too far in expeditions with his father. He read many stories of far away lands, legendary Pokemon and about historical Trainers that performed awesome deeds. He dreamed of becoming a remembered trainer, too, but he had to conform with traveling with his father in the meantime. It's not like he didn't want, but a desire of traveling further and further and with his own Pokemon inevitably formed inside his mind.

His parents, though, said he was too young to have Pokemon, and didn't allow him to request a Pokemon from Prof. Oak. Derek had to live up with the idea and continue with his life, learning about Pokemon only in Trainer Schools and by watching other battles. Eventually he grew too old like to only do that.

As he grew up, his manners, conversation skills, and knowledge about Pokemon increased.

When he was 13, his father was diagnosed a terminal illness which was even unknown to the doctors around, causing him to die not too long after. The disease had apparently been obtained on an expedition he did by himself. This caused a very profound pain inside Derek, mainly because he couldn't do anything for his father. He then had to continue living only with his mother.
When he turned 15, he finally got permission from his mother to be a Pokemon Trainer; in memory of his father. Now his goal is set: Become one of the best trainers of the world in honor of his father.
