It's okay if Kiyoko didn't take notice of Kilik. He was quiet anyway. xD I'm joking about the pic, Lol!

@Jasonwolf: It's a conspiracy to bring attention to audino abuse :U In other news, Pokemon BW2 is awesome. So far I've become a movie star and become the owner of a mall. How am I ever going to evolve my Pignite if they keep throwing interesting mini-games at me?? Regardless, my playthrough of this game may influence a few things. Namely, a teacher or two might get added.

Hey no spoilers!!! I don't have money for the game.

Name: Steven Yew

Nickname: Yew

Age: 27

Sex: Male

Job: Pokemon Mythology

Appearance:
picture.php


Personality: Calm and collected, Yew is what most would call an ideal teacher. However, once you get to knowing him, Yew is spontaneous, and acts a bit younger than he is. Yew is strict when it comes to punishment, but is reasonably lenient with his class otherwise. He loves engaging his students with fun activities and many field trips. Yew is occasionally outspoken when it comes to personal issues, and belives that friendship is the strongest force in existense.

History: Yew grew up on on one of the Orange Islands. He went to a school there, and one of his teachers greatly inspired him to become one himself. When he graduated, he was given a Kirlia, which he raised with much affection. Naming her Tetra, they went on a region-spanning adventure, on which they aquired Scizice. Finished in the Orange Islands, Yew went to the newly discovered Sinnoh region, becoming a champion. In Sinnoh, he met Luxray and Char. Char soon evolved, and Yew decided to travel to Hoenn. Traveling through the region, he met many trainers, and made many friends. While he was there, he found an interesting myth about the continental pokemon. One thing led to another, and he was soon involved with the study of all three of the legendaries. Soon after, he returned home and gave up his position as champion, and began studying Pokemon myths in immense detail. Many years later, Yew was still looking into these myths, especially those about the three Hoenn legendaries. He made many discoveries, and is an 'expert' in the field of study. He had just returned from a field study when he was requested to teach a history course at the school that he had long since graduated from. Accepting the job, Yew soon became a favorite to both students and coworkers. He taught for another two years, before getting a letter from an old friend that he had met at the Sinnoh Elite Four. Gary asked him to come teach at his new academy. Yew packed, and was on the first boat that would go to the island for a reasonable price.

@IceFyr: Alright. Your app looks good so far. Could we have a good 70 words more of history though? It's a tad short as it stands currently. That's about it though!

@IceFyr: In a month or two, when the next day finally comes. :U

Or rather, that's when you get (See: are asked to teach) a class. You can CHOOSE to teach students any time you please, simply by having your teacher character approach a student and start...well...spreading knowledge! As a teacher at the academy, you have a lot of freedom as to how you teach. So you can literally have your teacher just start lecturing a student in the hallway, or challenge a student to a battle in order to teach them that way.

But yeah. Structured traditional classes only occur once per day, and the day only started relatively recently, and days tend to move very slowly here. So. That ain't happening for a while and I'd have to heavily advise you don't wait for it. |D

Regardless. There is a list of accepted characters on the front page that is reasonably updated. I'd advise checking out a character you might like to interact with, sending their RPer a VM, figuring out where that character is, and then deciding whether to throw your teacher at them. c:



@ImEvil: Well, the issue is that pokemon joining their trainers voluntarily has become a cliche that I've been forced to crack down on due to overuse by putting the bar higher for getting away with it. A trainer battles wild pokemon to catch them because they want that trainer to prove they're worthy through a test of skill. Kindness is not a skill. So if you want to have it just up and join him instead of being given to him or catching it in a normal fashion then you're going to need to explain this whole abuse thing well enough that I can say you've earned the ability to get away with it.

Honestly, I'd recommend simply rewriting that part of your SU a bit so you don't have to deal with this. There's only one other cliche I'm currently cracking down on and that's non-psychic pokemon with telepathy/pokemon who verbally speak English.

@Ice: Hmm... it looks a bit nicer in some areas, but the icy plains and swamplands are simply confusing looking even for someone who knows where they're supposed to be. It's also difficult to distinguish the swamplands from the forests or the dead forest from the forests. They blend together.

That's why mine has a legend and is nice and bright. The map needs to be functional before it's pretty. =( I'm flattered that you decided to surprise us with this though. |D

@Wolf: It looks nice... My only angst is that the icons to the right aren't very clear in many circumstances. I might be able to fix it...

That got some positive feedback, wow. Honestly wasn't expecting quite a reaction.

Anyways, the icons on the legend are really just a bit extra, most of the parts of the map are pretty self-explanatory if you look at them.

I took the liberty of trying to make the icons easier to make out. I suppose I'll replace the current map with this revision...
