[PKMN OPEN] The Pokemon Trainer Academy (OOC) (NEW!)

@LawOfTheLand: Just don't let Jonah see Thyme and Brian bickering. :D

@Selenastar: You do realise what you've done now, right? XD Brian is so confused.

@Pokepokemo: Talk to the guy in the bright purple suit with bright red hair tied up in a ponytail. You will not be disappointed, I promise you. XD

@Nideous: Ok, Let's try and see

Also,Can I control 2 people at once, I mean making another character for my RP?

According to the rules, you can control up to three people at once. Two students and one teacher. That's why several of us are using two people, like me with Bri and Quin. XD So... Yes, you can make another SU and hope it gets accepted. :D

Also, I'll update my teams for Quin and Bri after everyone is back at the academy. :D

Is Burgh accepted? I kinda don't really want to post as him until I know...

yeah I'm wondering the same thing about Adria.

Is Gary Oak at the dance? If so may I have permission to control him for a meeting with Burgh?

Of course don't worry, I'll make sure I keep him in proper character

Edit: Just realised but the IC thread is exactly 100 pages over the OOC thread, lol just wanted to mention that.

Really? That's pretty cool. :D

Also, I've been hinting in the IC thread that Brian is going to turn eleven soon. XD So, I was thinking that his parents and brother would send him a few presents. Here's what I had in mind: a few TMs, an Everstone, and a level 5 Eevee. Would that be cool? Or is that not ok? I just wanted to check and be sure before actually, you know, doing it.

Well, apart from Jonah continuing to be the Socially Awkward Penguin (he'd rather take notes of Maria talking with Xavier than break up a fight!), the first question would naturally have to be Hilda's age by this time. Granted, BW did make the boxart of the protagonists make them look a few years older, a nod to the fact that the early adopters would likely be the ones that got into it and never really got out. Still, I have to wonder how long it's been since the events in Unova (and what Alder's doing with his life).

The second would be the legality of the class in general. Being a vigilante is one thing. Teaching others to do the same thing in broad daylight just doesn't sound like a very good idea. On one level, the game plots wouldn't work without this motif of heroic intervention, but on another level, Giovanni's words before the Silph Co. battle come to mind. "Keep your nose out of grown-up affairs, or experience a world of pain!" (As long as we're on about Silph, the original method of entry had you sneak past the guard while he was taking a nap...wouldn't that technically amount to breaking and entering, especially with you running around with a Card Key? And don't get me started on all the loot in that place!)

Still, I imagine the general experts will be very specific about what Hilda will be allowed to teach in that class, most of which could be summed up as "Run to the authorities if you can, but here's what you do if you can't." It would be much like how to protect yourself against violent crimes such as carjacking, I would imagine.

(Sorry for inactivity, getting my ass handed to me on the sims.)

@LawOfTheLand: Socially Awkward Penguin? Don't you mean Socially Awkward Piplup? Sorry, I HAD to make that joke. I know, its not like I have anything better to do with my life T^T

Anyhoo, I think vigilante-class sounds like a pretty interesting idea, you would be kinda like a pokemon-ranger and stuff. Which is nice and dandy, atleast in my opinion, but what do I know?

I wouldn't mind that class. Just don't expect Brian to be very thrilled about it. XD Quin would love it though. :D

Anyways, no one answered my question yesterday...

Ok, thanks. It's not going to happen for at least a couple more RP days. XD

@Aura Rift: Yeah. If you notice, the IC thread's first post was made by Jackblaze, the old GM who left the site. It wasn't remade because there was no need, but we had to remake the OOC thread in order for Megaman765 and I, the new GMs, to be able to update the main page. |D

Everybody likes the changes I've made, right? oAo; (For comparison: Here is the original thread)


On another note, I'd like people's opinion. I've been thinking about who I want to take up as a teacher. I know Bassiroth would love it if I brought Hilda in, and I certainly wouldn't mind. Yet, I've gotten mixed responses on that. She'd come paired with a new class that some might find interesting. (Vigilante efforts class. Everyday students would be lead on 'missions' to help others around the island, usually with things that require the use of pokemon.)

What do you guys think?

Click to expand...

I kind of agree with mr. mammoth. it hints at Rangers in the idea the trainer uses a pokemon to complete tasks. This would be perfect for Isaac since his father was a ranger and all that. I would like to add that it might work better as a club.

EDIT: I'd also like to apologize for my lack of activity, but I did say before that'd I'd be keeping to a bear minimum until we got back to school.

along with that I was just wondering about the dorm rooms, the specific ones where the students sleep. Are they one or two students per room? what are the furnishings? any SCHOOL restrictions on what students can do with the rooms? I find rooms can really reflect on a character and thusly want to know what I can do with mine once the field trip ends.

sry... just got home from school my brain is still fried. I'll assume its all very vague to you then. allow me to try again.

the concept of a trainer using their pokemon for assorted tasks outside of battle reminds me of ranger because the two uses of pokemon in that game series is to capture other pokemon or to move the player along through the game world. I do realize that it would be trainers who are using their own pokemon, and not randomly catching new ones or any of that kind of Ranger content, but usually pokemon are just for battling otherwise (well mainly). My point with Isaac's father is that Isaac has gotten plenty of experience in the field (both trainer and ranger) and that allows him to do very well in adverse scenarios. If I recall correctly Isaac's main personality is a planner and that he always needs a plan when going into something, this kind of class would allow Isaac to exel since he is good at variable tactics.

or were you confused by the EDIT?
