The Pokemon Trainer Academy (OOC) (NEW!)

[PinkSapphire]

[ShinyDiamond]

PS-xD Well good luck as a male! You're gonna need it.

[Red's Hawt Chibi Pelippers]

Seems like Yellow finally is asleep now xD Can't wait to start (if I get accepted, heh)

What kind of introduction post should I do? (question directed to players who remember their own) Arriving in a boat at the island, meeting some (maybe unnamed) teachers and wandering off to find my dorm until classes start?

[PinkSapphire]

Yeah she's finally asleep :p i don't sleep much either, only 3/4/5 hours a night :3 SD gets mad with me sometimes because of it xD

[Kid Mind]

Well, classes are already over if I'm not mistaken, so the best thing to do would probably be to arrive at the island, check out your dorm and then you can either explore some of the places around the academy or the academy itself, meeting another RP:er or battle a NPC! xD

And here's my new team with the five extra levels! :D

Team
Species: Oddish (Female)
Nickname: Flora
Level: 25
Moveset: Mega Drain, Sweet Scent, Acid, Sleep Powder, Razor Leaf, Synthesis

[Reader_Maniac]

@RedHCP: Well, I did mine fairly recently, and I:

• came in on a boat
• got my dorm coat(I personally went to the office, since it was later in the year for everyone else, but it is your choice how you get the coat)
• well, the rest is up to you.

I tried to go to the dorm and just stay there til the next class, but there are still people going with their days, so I eventually had to get back out so I wouldn't get kicked for not doing anything.

Final note: My character is going to the cafeteria, if you want to meet up with someone(also in Raikou dorm)

[Meganium90]

Me & Lucia are at the cafeteria, so maybe you can meet us there? We're Suicune's so I'm not certain if we can meet other trainers from different dorms.

Rika, I started my intro post by writing about the trip to the Island, and add thoughts and expectations to the new chapter your character will face in the future days. It's up to you, really. By my third post I was already battling. lol

[jasonwolf]

the students from different dorms have met up. Though some characters have different opinions on the dorms. My main char Isaac thinks most Suicunes are rich pompous brats.

[Meganium90]

Got my teacher SU ready. :D Took me a while. ^_^

Spoiler:

Name: Megan Sandoval

Age: 23

Gender: Female

Job: Grass & Bug Type Specialist

Appearance:

Spoiler:

Personality: A sweet and caring person, Megan is affectionate, and cares about everyone, even the Pokemon. She loves to smile, and to bring everyone happiness to their lives. Basically, she is emotional. She can cry about the bad things around her, like a very sad movie, or a friend or Pokemon feeling down. To the people that know her, she likes to “push away the rain clouds and make room for the sunshine”.

As a teacher, Megan likes to be organized...VERY organized. At times she likes to value her alone time by gardening, or reading..two of her favorite activities. She is also an environmentalist, meaning she likes to “go green”...like recycle, save energy, water, etc. She likes to offer her hand in helping everyone when someone is in need.

History: A native in Castelia City in Unova, Megan was raised by a fisherman father and a florist mother. As a child, more specifically at the age of 7, his father had to leave for a boat trip to bring seafood for the city. Unfortunately it was reported that the boat was attacked by an unknown Pokemon, and his body was never found. After the terrible news of her father's death, she and her florist mother moved east to Striaton City to build a brand new life there.

As an only child, Megan grew up surrounded by flowers. She got her “green thumb” from her mother, as she always helped her plant flowers around the backyard of her home. At the age of 10, she started helping out her mother at her flower shop close to the Striaton Gym. Her mother owns a Chikorita named Mimi that helps her care for the plants.

One day, she witnessed a trainer battle right beside the Striaton Gym, and Megan was outside watching. She was interested in Pokemon battling, though she feared her mother wouldn't allow her. She then realized that she hasn't had much exposure to Pokemon. At the age of 11, Megan was gifted an Eevee in which she named her Bree. Her mother tells her to go out and explore the whole Unova Region, win badges and compete for the Pokemon League, because she was once a trainer as well. She signed up for the Pokemon Trainer's School in Striaton.

At Age 14, she decided to travel around the Unova region and compete for the Pokemon League. During her journey, her Eevee, Bree, had evolved into an Espeon while she battled a trainer when visiting her hometown, Castelia. Her first intention was to evolve Bree to a Leafeon, but Bree had other plans. During her journey, she caught a Sewaddle...which later evolved into a Leavanny (Leah), and a Shelmet (Avan). She successfully won all the badges, came in 2nd in the League, and returned home two years later.

She returned to school right after the Unova Pokemon League, and in two years, she graduated at the top of her class. She received a full-ride scholarship to Goldenrod University in Johto, and studied the biology of Grass and Bug type Pokemon. She stayed there for three years.

After she graduated from Goldenrod, her mother fell ill from pneumonia. Her dying wish was to have Megan teach the world about the fundamentals of battling Pokemon. After she died, she went ahead and took in Mimi, her (now) Bayleef. Her late mother's flower shop was taken over by a close friend of her's, while Megan pursued her mother's wish. She wanted to be a teacher.

In the end, she received good news from the president of the Pokemon Trainer Academy and offered her a teaching job as a Grass and Bug Type Specialist. She accepted it, and is now moving to Oak Island, a few hundred miles away....

[PinkSapphire]

Yellow- yeeeey! Thanks! :D mind if i post tomorrow morning?

It's pretty late so i'm gonna catch some Z's :3 i hope i can get 5 hours sleep now, night!

[Mr. Mammoth]

@PkMnTrainer Yellow: Monsters? Oh boy, oh boy! What monsters did you fight? I bet they were thhhiiiiiiiiiisss big! *puts hands as far away from each other as possible*

Seriously though, I had two questions earlier. I don't want to sound impatient as I'm sure that you have a lot of important stuff to do (like fighting monsters). But I'll ask them again:

1. Is it okay if I don't use the five levels right away since Maxwell will catch a Pokémon fairly soon?

2. If Maxwell catches a wild Pokémon, can I tweak its level to be lower than 20?

[PkMnTrainer Yellow]

@PinkSapphire: Alright. o.O

@Mr. Mammoth: Allow me to clarify. /All/ of your pokemon get 5 levels. Each.

And you're allowed to make pokemon you catch lower level at will. There's only a maximum limit.

@Meganium90: Awesome! I'll get to it soon.

[Mick Fizz]

[PinkSapphire]

SD- nothing much really! :D my character Roxas got accepted~ hey... You haven't noticed the name of Lucario yet...? Obilivio? XD hahahah

[gunnerpow7]

Okay, just edited my SU. It is a picture btw...

[PkMnTrainer Yellow]

@Gunnerpow7: Very well then! You're accepted. c:

[Red's Hawt Chibi Pelippers]

KAY AWESOME I'll start posting, like, now :D

I'll do like Reader_Maniac did and go to an office inside the Academy and fetch my yellow jacket :3 Xylo's going to hate having to dress in colorful things xD Then I'll go out and train!

So, if we make up NPCs and battle them, do we figure out for ourselves how many levels we get, and then post an update in this thread?

Also when catching pokémon, do we have to wait for the GM's approval before we can consider it a success?

[PkMnTrainer Yellow]

For leveling no. There are set leveling rules. Basically? Levels are gained per pokemon.

For wild pokemon you gain 1 level for fighting them. (Only up to level 45 though, at which point wild pokemon stop giving levels and you must battle trainers.)

For regular trainers including NPCs every time a pokemon fights another pokemon, it gets 2 levels.

For any of the champions teaching at the school, 3 levels. (Permission needs to be given to control a champion in battle though.)

For Gary Freaking Oak, 4 levels. (Permission needs to be given to control Gary at all)

In /addition/, a pokemon gains 1 level for fainting. (This means losers level up more than winners. *Wink*)

We the GMs may also choose to hand out extra levels for especially challenging things as well, though that generally only happens the fight is unfair, such as being outnumbered.




So let's say you battle a trainer. You use 1 pokemon. It battles and beats the other trainer's 2 pokemon. You gain 4 levels total for your pokemon.

Let's say you battle the same trainer and use 2 pokemon though, and your first pokemon faints after theirs. Your second pokemon then KOs their second pokemon.

Your first pokemon gains a whopping 5 levels for technically battling 2 pokemon and fainting against the second (2+2+1) and your second pokemon gains 2 levels for coming in and KOing the second.




@Meganium90: Your newest character is approved. Enjoy c:

[Red's Hawt Chibi Pelippers]

Yeah ok :3 But I mean, we count our levels ourselves? We don't have to wait for you to tell us how many levels we got?

[Mr. Mammoth]

@PkMnTrainer Yellow: No, no, no, I don't mean it like that. I mean that I wanna wait until Maxwell catches that Pokémon so that all of them can gain five leves THEN. BTW, Maxwell has two boxed Pokémon which he doesn't use, do they get EXP as well?
