@Everyone: My immediate issue with rules from the fanfiction community is that even there they're full of enough prejudice to kill a man. It's kind of dumb, if you ask me. There are already rules about using canon characters in a decidedly inappropriate manner here, we don't need extra rules to prevent people from breaking that rule. |D
Also, the misplaced post in the IC thread /clearly/ neglected to account for the fact that Professor Gary Freaking Oak is too cool for his own dozen boats. He rides across the ocean on a tauros--that's riding on a surfboard.
@ShinyDiamond: You can have an NPC give your character an egg for some reason, find an egg just sort of laying around somewhere, or really anything. There's no restrictions on eggs other than no pokemon that can't hatch from eggs.
@Lt. Col. Fantastic: I'm afraid my characters are stretched thin, or I'd do it. |P
@Flyborg: Wess... from Orre.
