Sweet HeartsSo where's the challenge?
Right. The challenge will be up on February 14th of course! But before that day comes, you have some more time to contribute to it! Sounds great, right?
In short, the event will let you go out on a date with other trainers and make them fall for you! But first of all, you'll need to meet up with these people for the first time, get their contact information, and see what they're up to. This way, by the time the challenge starts, you will already have a good choice of contacts to hang out with!
Breaking the fourth wall here a bit but no, these trainers are not your fellow challengers. They are more like "non playable characters" that you have the chance to create, and add to the list of possible dates that you will then have at your disposal during the actual event. Dating between trainers, as fun as it sounds, also means complicated schedules for everyone involved, whereas the objective of this challenge was to still let everyone go at their own pace.
O-ok! So I met this very cute trainer on Route 1... <3
Alright, great! Then, you can take note of as many things as you discovered!
To participate, and therefore submit your own character for this, fill in as many fields as you want to, then send a Direct message to either Eleanor or Janp.
This way the character can be finalized and added to the Contact List that will be available for the actual event! Each character will have a set of favorite Pokémon and a set of desirable qualities that they will look for in the people they date, and that's what you will have to play around...
Here's the sign-up form:
✨ Trainer Class:
It's better to just pick NPC trainer classes, rather than things like Rival, Gym Leader, or Elite 4! That way, no ordinary player may be able to match their classes...
✨ Favorite Pokémon:
You can list a few Pokémon (up to 6), or suggest a cool theme that they would enjoy to create their squad - for example, "cute Pokémon only" or "defensive Ice types".
✨ Preferred battle style:
Offensive and reckless with their Pokémon, or more conservative? How much do they care about their Pokémon?
✨ Skill level:
Rookie, expert, anything in between! You can also give the approximate level of their team.
✨ Pokémon they cannot stand:
Again it can be a list of Pokémon or just a list of traits that can make them dislike a Pokémon.
✨ Adventuring skills:
How much help do you think they will need while traveling on their own? Are they adventurous or not?
✨ Home region:
Any main series game is fine!
✨ Personality / Other traits:
Feel free to include any other detail you want in this section! This should be great if you're submitting a trainer based on a character you've already made for roleplaying or writing, for example.
Right, there's no "name" in this list, but that's because this way, people who have submitted a character and then play along won't have an advantage compared to players who didn't! Names will be assigned at random~
