Another New Game [T] (OOC)

[Ash_Ketchum123]

This is a revived version of this RP, which was also made by me :D

NEW GAME (OOC)
Welcome to the world of Pokémon

OOC Thread || IC Thread

Someone has made a game. A game that would be played by s few selected teenagers who accepted his invitation. The game he made would be like none other. It would either place the teenagers in danger, or would give them glory. It was a risk he'd be willing to take. Anything he would do for his success.

The game is just an edited version of a previous game. It was made to be harder than the other. More exciting, more thrilling, more dangerous. Perhaps, more dangerous than you think it is. In this game, when you lose, you lose. It's game over. You're goal is to finish. It doesn't matter which place. Just finish. If you want to stop playing, finish it. It's your only option.

You are an average teenager, living a life that is full of routines. Everyday is almost the same. Usual events. Usual places. Usual people. It was, and always will be, like that...until you received a certain mail:

You have been chosen as one of the few selected people given the chance to test out new game. If you choose to accept this invitation, all you have to do is click the link below. If you choose not to, then under no circumstances should you open the said URL. Once you accept, you cannot change your mind. Thank you.

http://www.devon.org

GKR

You opened the site, but before you even see what the site looks like, you black out. You wake up in the vast space of nothingness. It was dark. You can't see anything, but you definitely can tell that someone was there with you. Suddenly, out of nowhere, someone says these words: "Hi! Sorry to keep you waiting."

Summary

In this roleplay, you are transported into the Pokémon game world. You were originally from the real world, where Pokémon do not exist. The storyline will be somehow like the game, specifically R/S/E, but some twists was and will be added by the developer. When you wake up in the dark, you see nothing at all, but feel the presence of someone with you, then you hear Professor Birch's voice (but your character doesn't know that yet) welcoming you to the Pokémon world, and like in the game, asking for your gender and name. After asking for your name, you find yourself in a van. In the van, you hear a voice:

"If you want to stop playing this game, you need to finish it. There is no other way out."

Your character has no idea that the developer has programmed that voice. The developer will sometimes pit challenges for your character. The developer controls everything in-game, but the NPCs you meet does not know that they are in a game. What they do know is that they live in their real world, and that yours is fake. The developer may sometimes use an NPC to communicate with your character, but your character thinks that he/she is talking to the NPC directly, and does not know that he/she is talking to the developer.

Of course many decisions will be made in this RP, and the decisions you, the players, make will determine what will become of your characters...

Rules and Guidelines

- The roleplay is to be strictly kept PG-13. No gore when not needed. No suggestive themes.
- This will be chapter-based, and I will post each one after a certain amount of roleplayers finish the requirements for the current chapter.
- The developer may put up special events. When he does, your character is pulled away from whatever he/she is doing and gets teleported to the place where the event occurs.
- I will play the developer. I control certain NPCs that you can't, but most can be controlled by you.
- This is set in the Hoenn Region.
- Pokemon you encounter is decided via RNG. Shinies do exist but are extremely rare. If you want to encounter a Pokemon in a chapter, just say something about walking on grass and having something "materialize" in front of you. I'll randomize for you.
- The above rule goes the same for capturing Pokemon. Just end your post with the ball shaking.
- The developer has decided to let your Pokémon keep five moves at a time.
- There will only be certain moments where you, the players, can meet.
- Levelling up depends on the quality of your post. Minimum is 1, while maximum is 5 (for extremely beautiful posts)

-looks up at the two 'official' posts-

Ugh, fine. We can't plan this.

And who's to say we can't interact with others?

RPM

Why can't we at least see each other?

Well, the posts did say that we arrived in Littleroot at different times, so I assumed we'd have individual prologues before the official game, in which we can meet.

[Sarah Morgan]

I chose Heracross; as my starter pokemon.

[Rune Alchemist]

You can plan around that.

I have my character crying in her room for an hour before she leaves, so for example my character could come out and walk around, then see another moving truck with a girl hopping out. You know?

Many ways around. Just have to be creative :3

I hear Heracross is pretty buggy. :v

Well, I ended my prologue with Adelaide leaving the Lab. Could still meet up with your character, if you want her to. :3

[Rune Alchemist]

... Wait, we get to rescue the Professor 5 times?

In a single day? Blah. I want a double-battle against the wild because I don't want the professor to be rescued several times.

Also, I say single day because it would be kinda unfair if we all didn't start on the same foot. Pokemon B/W much?

[Sarah Morgan]

LOL I have my character staring off inside the truck lol

My character starts off inside the truck too if you're wondering, she just goes inside the house, then cries in her room as the sudden reality shakes her.

[Lilizuki]

@Rune Alchemist: I don't know; I'm not the GM. I did the best with what info we had available, so...yeah.

Maybe when the GM gets back online, he can clarify some thangs for us.

@Sarah: Starting off in a truck somehow seems fitting for the ever-classy Miss Morgan Jr.

[Rune Alchemist]

Wait, didn't we all move to LittleRoot town?

I mean, our Da-...

Wait. One. Second. We have the same dad.

Does this make our characters siblings?

Apparently, everyone who moves to Littleroot makes their kids ride in the truck lol

[Lilizuki]

@Rune Alchemist: To everyone in-world? Yes.

If a romance subplot crops up, things will get creepy really fast. :v

[Sarah Morgan]

So I post my story in the other thread?

[Rune Alchemist]

Incest? :\

Yeah, I never tackled that in ANY of my fanfics. Selfcest, maybe but... Oh, the plot! Hahahahah~

[Lilizuki]

This thread went to a strange place.

Out of curiosity, Rune Alchemist, would you mind linking to any of your Fanfiction? I'd be interested in taking a look. :3

I'd rather not, until I get the hang of writing.

Most of the things in my Fanfiction account is rubbish, something I made two years ago. Not my most glamorous year, since I was 15 then.

You can imagine the kind of stuff I write. I am taking one story seriously, but it's slow going, and only has one chapter. A Persona 3/4 Fic.

Ah, most of my posts allow other players to interact with mine. I consider myself the RPer who gets the connection going. I did that in Darkness Rising (I mean Darkness Lurking!), did that in another RP, and I'm doing it in the rest of RPs I'm joining. Especially the one I'll create! So if I'm going to post, I'll post it so that my character faces her window then cut it there, to allow someone to see/interact with her.

On that note, I won't post till the RPM says so. 'Sides, I have to clean it up.

[Ash_Ketchum123]

Guuuys~ Sorry I wasn't able to go on yesterday. School and very important RL stuff came up, but it's all done now I'll check Chuuritsu's SU right away and see if it passes the standards. I'll also post the official "go signal" in the IC thread any moment now '

Also, to answer a question that you asked in the now-IC-thread-but-previously-used-as-a-temporary-OOC thread (or NITBPUAATO thread)

What I meant by "game script" is the script that programmers use to run in-game events, not the "dialogue." Think of the NPCs as AIs, ones you can have a normal conversation with as if you're not in the game. Sorry if I didn't explain this earlier. Bad GM D:

Aaand, @Chuuritsu - Um, I can see that it was rushed ' Just add more on your RP sample and your SU will be approved. For now, it is pending

Ohayo RPM! I'm guessing it's a Saturday Morning there right? I understand. It's testing season~

-reads post-

-reads other players posts-

... What 'Go signal any moment now'?

[Ash_Ketchum123]

Sunday morning, actually GMT +8 / South East Asia.

This is the go signal

[Rune Alchemist]

Right! Sunday! Sorry, it feels like Saturday to me, because I had school yesterday. But still, good morning. We have little time difference.

Also, 'go' signal... Yeah, 2/5 story posts =)

[Curious.]

I will have my Prologue up in a tad.

And my gosh things travel fast over night. I wake up and there's like 100 posts. .___.

[Ash_Ketchum123]

Ha! Yes. Yes it does. I was surprised to see that we've already reached 4 pages in the NITBPUAATO thread.

And, um, since Heracross had 5 starting moves, I only picked Tackle and Leer for Sarah to start with to make things fair. You can make him/her learn the 3 other moves (Night Slash, Horn Attack, Endure) via Move Tutor OR an absolutely great RP battle post :D The latter needs to be approved before posted though, so yeah.

(If the other RPers disagree with this method, I've randomized two starting moves for Sarah's Heracross and came up with Night Slash and Endure. So...discuss?)

[Rune Alchemist]

-shrugs-

It's her Pokemon. So, notes about the questions we asked?

Oh! And my notes.

[1] Yes, I have one. Yes, I bought it the same way.

[Sarah Morgan]

It's going to be most difficult to beat Roxanne X_X

[Curious.]

I'm happy with the randomised moves. :3

Edit: But Sarah, we're in an RP, so..anything could happen. :P As long as a post is creative, you could still win!
