Welcome to the Sobta Region far away from the bustling Kanto Region, exotic Hoenn Region, Chilly Sinnoh Region and Mountainous Unova Region. Teh Sobta Region lies in a far away place which has a varying climate but is mostly Tropical. The region itself is home to many Pokemon from across the Pokemon world. The Proffessor of the region, Prof. Larch is currently researching into Pokemon biology and why some Pokemon have evolved to become the way they are.
Enter... You!
Welcome you a new trainer hailing from the small Western part of the continent in a Northern little town called Elegno Town, you live here with your mother and have been waiting for this opportunity your entire life, to start your pokemon journey. Professor Larch has invited you and your young neighboring friend to visit his lab to recieve your Starter Pokemon between Snivy, Tepig and Oshawott.
This is where it gets interesting, you the player have a rival but this rival is another player, you must agree who will be your rival and you must both post who your rival is as well as which one has the type advantage starter.
How you play determines how far you go
Where you Go
In the Sobta region Routes, Mountains, Seas and Forests are huge meaning you can't simply traverse half the region in a day no. Simply getting through the first route is going to take you at least one IC day however towns and other landmarks you will be able to get through pretty quickly.
Time is of the essence
Time is supposed to be fun, so don't waste it! I've decided we can get more done in a day with the Pokemon so I'm lowering restraints. Here are some examples of time used in the IC thread:
Travelling Route (Medium): 1/2 hr
Travelling Route (Snow): 3/2 hr
Challenge Gym: 20 min
Gym Leader: 15 min (Time Limit)
Major Event: 10 min - 45 min
Minor Event: 2 min - 10 min
Elite Four: 7.5 min (Time Limit per E4)
Champion: Infinite (Take as long as you need)
That thing your supposed to do
Yep just like most Pokemon Games you are determined to be the greatest trainer and whether that means trying to leave your rival in the dust or swamping through the Gyms and routes there is still some time you must spend doing a little thing called travelling the world searching far and wide trying to catch 'em all!
You, Your Pokemon and Evolution
While your Pokemon don't have levels they will be signaled as to learning new moves, receiving evolutionary items and your hint to Pokemon ready for evolution by level will be your handy friend in time the Evo-Candy. The Evo-Candy is what scientists in Sobta have referred to as an outbreak in genius, after some field tests and a few hundred Bibarels later the Evo-Candy was completed permitting the Pokemon of the Sobta region to evolve when the Pokemon is ready.
What's that rustling in the Grass
Oh a Pokemon, Pokemon Battles in Sobta can take some time however fear not as the variety of Pokemon won't leave a sour taste in your mouth and every battle lets you Fight, Capture and use an item so don't feel down if the Pokeball doesn't work the first time because you'll always have the chance to knock the Pokemon out.
The number after six
Your Pokebelt has six slots, that means six Pokemon however never fear as Ests Inc. has given us the technology, what is this technology you ask why the Pokebuddy a handy tool which allows you to deposit, withdraw and move Pokemon on the go, so you don't have to worry about spending al that time at the Pokemon Center (note: Pokemon will not heal while in the Pokebox as you must physically go heal your pokemon to do so)
You're the Boy or Girl?
We're all a bit forgetful at times but fear not you amnesia can be torn away with this handy Sign-Up Sheet. This is an example Template so don't bother copying it.

Alright here is my SU Sheet just so you understand
Spoiler:
Character's Name: Henry L. Kyrine
Gender: Male
Age: 12
Appearance: Henry is a relatively short boy who stands at approximately four feet, eight inches. He has Dark Brown hair and Hazel Eyes which he inherited from his father, his skin tone is midly tanned due to him often going out and hiding underneath trees. His other facial features are relatively smooth except his nose slightly points up at the tip.
Henry generally dresses in Mid Blue long sleeved shirts and Black Jeans due to the temperate climate of Elegno Town, he also wears a watch he recieved from his mother on his 7th birthday, which has various words engraved on it written in Unown Letters. On his other wrist he keeps three wrist bands each one reminding hom of the three basic Pokemon Types (Grass, Water, Fire).
Personality: Henry is a Calm natured boy who has a tendency for attracting Pokemon due to him learning most of the Pokemon around Elegno Town's cries. He likes Pokemon and generally plays with them out in the forested area near the town. He also has a tendency for being absent-minded as people often find him staring off into space or just like his mind is in a different place.
He has grown to watch various trainers come and go from Professor Larch's Lab and has seen a few of the battle over the past couple of years, he has brought pokemon from the forest to Professor Larch's Lab as well due to some of them being rare in Sobta and he has been encouraged by the professor to test out their skills, however most of the time Henry ends up using non-attacking moves as he can only remember a handful of attacking moves which not all the pokemon he finds know.
He often finds he can be disagreeable and often gets into arguments with people about whether a particular Pokemon should battle or not.
Game Difficulty: Hard
Character History: Prior to starting his journey Henry would collect Pokemon for the Professor and play in the forested areas nearby, he would help his father who was one of Professor Larch's assistants by collecting documents and items for him. He also helped an old lady who owned a flower shop, by going out into the forest and having the pokemon help him locate flowers and berries.
Rival: Zachary W. Reynolds
Starter: Snivy (He often find Snivy roaming around in the forest and has brought numerous amounts back to Professor Larch who has handed them out to trainers)
Should Beauty ever be my best feature I would simply die
Great to here GoldenRayquaza I accept you as my rival, although I'm gonna need you to make an SU sheet, also it's your pick on difficulty and whether you have the starting advantage or I do. I'm leaving these two up to you :P
Should Beauty ever be my best feature I would simply die
Character's Name: Zachary W. Reynolds Gender: Male Age: 11 Appearance: Zachary stands at a height of 4'8", and has red hair. (naturally, not a dye) He wears a crimson-colored wristband on his right wrist showing the Pan-Simi trio. (Panpour, Pansear, Pansage, and their respective evos, Simipour, Simisear, and Simisage) On his left wrist, he wears an orange wristband with a Staraptor on it. Sometimes he alternates it with a yellow wristband with a Sandslash on it. When he travels, he carries a crimson backpack with a Dialga picture on it. He commonly wears red short-sleeve shirts with Pokémon designs on them. Zachary also commonly wears crimson shorts. Personality: Zachary is an energetic boy who, as you can tell by his appearance, likes the color red. He is very fond of Pokémon, and absolutely hates people who use them for tools. He tries to help everyone in as little time as possible, because he says he's "always busy". He deeply looks up to his brother Andrew, and hopes to be like him. (This is because Andrew is the Champion of some faraway region, he just doesn't want to admit it.) Prior to his journey, he used to play alot of battle simulators, so he's not completely in the dark about battling. He knows good strategies, but he knows nothing about type matchups, other then the Fire-Water-Grass triangle.
He believes that any Pokémon can have potential to be good at battling, so he plans not to use a ton of overrated ones. He thinks Samurott is the coolest-looking starter, so he's allready decided, even though he's not in the Lab yet. Game Difficulty: Hard (Is that okay for you?) Character History: After his 16-year-old brother Andrew became the Champion of the Ganól region, nobody would leave Zachary alone because of his famous brother. They kept bothering him about why he hadn't even started his journey. And he got alot of interviews of what it was like to have a famous brother, because for some reason, they couldn't contact Andrew himself.
6 months of that was enough for him. He wanted the media to leave him alone. Or at least, if they don't, they should talk about himself, not Andrew. So a Pokémon journey was the way to make it a reality. Now he's ready to show the region that it wasn't just a fluke with Andrew; battle skills run in the family! Rival: Henry L. Kyrine Starter: Oshawott (He's always loved the Oshawott line.
Sorry for the double-post, but why does it still say (Reserved) for me? And also, most GMs post to say if someone's SU is approved.
Appearance: Mario has short dark brown hair, more spikey at the front and flatter in the back. Mario is about 5'9 weighing around 150-160 ibs (with muscle, without muscle he'd weigh around 120-125 ibs.) He has a fair tan without being to light, but he isn't that dark as well. The only noticable difference is that he has a scar on his right eye.
Personality: Mario has a very peaceful nature, thinking everything can be solved through words without people having to be hurt in the process. He has a pretty large minded view of things, and can almost nearly come up with a strategy for any situation. There are times when he can't concentrate, which in turn stops him from thinking of any strategy. Mario seems to prefer making friends, and helping people out where ever he go's, if he see's someone in trouble you know he'll do anything he can to help. He also likes to play with his Pokemon, and can be seen playing tag or some other game with his Pokemon. He dislikes when he see's people hurting or fighting, since he grew up in such a hateful environment most of his life, he didn't want any one to suffer like he had. He also hates those who think of their Pokemon as tools, instead of friends or family. Mario's someone who's fairly smart, and he can come up with a strategy on the spot. But, Mario's known to get distracted by things very easily, and can drift off at the weirdest times, even in the middle of a conversation.
Game Difficulty: Hard (If its okay with my partner.)
Character History: Mario Santiago was always good with Pokemon, he was known for taking care of the towns Pokemon, and was told he'd make a good Pokemon Breeder one day. He also began to write a little about his experiences with the Pokemon he took care of and helped train for actual trainers. This began to inspire him to try and travel. One day he had been playing with the Pokemon when he ran into a group of cloaked men. They seemed just as surprised as Mario when they bumped into him. They immediately tried to grab him but ended up scratching the right side of his face when he took a step back and tripped over one of the Pokemon he was playing with at the time. He then proceeded to rush the Pokemon out of the area while trying to run away himself. The Pokemon he tripped on was grabbed, and he never forgave himself for this. He swore to himself that he would find this Pokemon, but also to find out who those people with the cloaks we're as well. His parent's argued constantly after this and he couldn't really understand why. Nothing else major really occurred.
Rival: Cheryl Teak
Starter: Oshawott

I'll be your rival with a Snivy, if you like.
And if I get accepted.
Character's Name: Sophie Tomlinson
Gender: Female
Age: 13
Appearance: Medium blue hair which falls down her back, having never been cut; lightly tanned, heavily freckled skin; slight build that gets her taken for an 11-year-old on a regular basis; soft green eyes.
Personality: Relatively easygoing, but a little nervous around Pokemon, and often self-conscious around people. She doesn't have very good general knowledge about Pokemon, and relies on her Pokedex a lot. She's fairly critical, and though she never loses her temper, she likes to win arguments, and doesn't easily drop them. Most of all she hates try-hards, thoughtless people, and wasteful consumer culture.
Game Difficulty: Hard
Character History: Sophie's parents are both gardeners, philosophers and environmentalists. They cultivate various berries for a living; they distrust modern technology, and so Sophie had a fairly simple, if isolated, upbringing. She's excited to get a Pokedex and see more of the modern world, but at the same time she still likes to keep it simple.
Rival: tba
Starter: Snivy
It's a good SU, but the history is lacking. It doesn't tell us much, and it would fit better in the Personality section. Can you just add a few paragraphs? If so, I'll probably accept you.
Hey guys I'm back, sweaty, exhausted and tired but I'm here to check up on you all also thanks GoldenRayquaza you did great while I was away :) Herotostay123 I'll need you to fill in the other fields before continuning, if you request a reserve I can do that but until then those spots can be taken. Also Nyume like Goldenrayquaza said you need to include more information around personality and/or Character History. Thanks all ;)
Should Beauty ever be my best feature I would simply die
Yay!
Firstly, i got a question, can my character meet up with other than my rival? (like GM's character) or is it we got on a different 'dimension' (what i mean is we can't meet other pairs) because it's.. rather.. you-know-what-i-mean if the professor got many starters..
The second one, i suggest to locate the town on the list to the map. I mean like where is exactly the Elegno Town on the map, it's rather confusing @[email protected])/
And the other thing is, i can't wait for the start of the IC lol!
