    [power ON]

    "In the beginning there was merely flatness. Gray water, not yet interwoven with light and life, a spread of lifeless hydrogen and oxygen.

    In the beginning there was only sky and sea. Both hemispheres completely empty, two voids forever sucking at each other's boundaries. For millennia, there was only water and air. Clearness in all forms.

    Then came the meteor.

    A shining comet, a hammer of blazing rainbow light shrieked through the peaceful sky and tore the tranquil blueness in two. Somewhere in the vast, open ocean, the comet landed and pierced the surface of the water, sinking slowly to the very cradle of life, the fissures that lead to the center of the newborn earth.

    The cracks that led to hell.

    With the impact came the energizing push. The comet split in two at the utmost depths, revealing a crystal, a massive mineral compound that glowed faintly in harmony with the blackness of the void, pulsing and undulating until blackness reached up to meet the color, and where energy met nothingness, an explosion came forth.

    From the bowels of the sea, the legendary beast awoke with a blast rocked the world, splitting open the stomach as the earth titan came forth and poured its magma contents, cooling and rapidly rising to the surface, a hundred million years of construction sped on by the legendary beasts.

    A landmass began to form.

    Ashes and magma over the course of seven days. Ashes and magma and then the clouds that parted for sunlight.

    Ashes and magma.

    Ashes and magma and sunlight and sea.

    When the peak of Mt. Moon was completed, the last blast of fiery earth destroyed the crystal heart, severing it into three pieces that were swept away by the sea of time, never to be seen or to create wondrous things ever again.

    And that, children, was how our land came to be."

    -Guardian of the Pokemon Tower, Mr. Fuji, age 78



    [new GAME]

    The diversity of Pokémon in Kanto has changed dramatically over the passing years with the growing popularity of Pokemon training. The release of Pokemon throughout the region and daycare center have introduced different species into the ecosystems of Kanto, making the fauna the most diverse it has ever been.

    The story progression will be driven by chapters with both mandatory and optional events, with the latter usually containing some kind of prize or rare capture. Each chapter will have multiple events/parts that will not be revealed until the previous part is completed by everyone.

    The Levels of Pokemon will determine the attacks and evolution, just like in-game. Any level ups, learning of attacks, and evolution will be handled by me and I will notify you via review posts. The easiest and most efficient way to gain levels is through battles, other methods involve good posts that will garner level ups or sometimes cool items!

    It's been 10 years since the events of Red/Blue/Yellow, the once fabled Red has disappeared in his search for Mew and presumed dead. Gym leaders have come and gone with the years, technology has advanced and with it towns and cities have blossomed. The great Professor Oak, hobbling about with his walking stick and hunched back has grown frail and grey and stepped down from his official Pokemon League position and taken the title Doctor Oak. He has opened up an academy in Pallet Town where he is the acting dean, all official Pokemon League matters are left to his granddaughter Professor Daisy Oak.

    Catching Pokemon is a focal point in Pokemon Training. A post must end with the classic Pokeball wobble which is when I will alert you whether you have successfully captured the Pokemon or not. I will also assign the gender, level, and nature. The ability can be left up to you and will allow it to be incorporated into your capture post.

    The Pokemon Trainer Aptitude Test was introduced by the Pokemon League Association after the Trainer boom three years ago when a spike in trainers overwhelmed the league. The purpose of this test is the weed out those who would quit after a few days into their journey. Those who pass the test's three phases are granted a trainer's licence and the title of trainer, anyone without the license is not allowed to participate in the league challenge and acquire badges. They can of course raise Pokemon and travel, but they are not allowed to participate in any official league events. The test is completely free and open to anyone who wishes to participate. First timers to the test are known as rookies to the rest of the league and are known to break down crying after the first phase. Each season a batch of thirty students from the famous Pallet Academy are chosen to participate as rookies. Rookies from Pallet Academy are famous for being extremely skilled and have a reputation for being the only rookies to pass despite their age.

    Mega Evolution is present in this roleplay and Kanto has grown fascinated with the concept, as a region of old fashioned traditions they have embraced Mega Evolution's ancient roots and no one has made it their life's work to understand Mega Evolution more than Professor Daisy Oak.



    [instruction MANUAL]

    2e7a9419-5ddf-4cc3-a16b-cb89a8e93898_zps3f36b606.png

    1. All standarad pokecommunity forum rules apply, please refrain from spamming and making this the laughing stock of the roleplaying boards.

    2. Rating is a strict 15+, for some mild language Actually no, ignore that. There might be even more language, and some adult themes and minor gore later on. I can't cater to everyone's comfort zone, you have been warned.

    3. As the GM, my word is final, if there is anything you disagree with please feel free to question me. But regardless of what happens i will always have the final say. I also reserve the right to boot you if you aren't active enough, but don't worry I will give you plenty of warnings before we get to that point.

    4. There will be a week long application period from the day this is approved, there are no reservations but instead I will survey all the applications at the end of a week and pick the top four. I prefer this method to ensure we have the best quality posts in the roleplay.

    5. Pokemon are allowed a max of 6 attacks and may only learn new attacks when I give the green light

    6. Once characters are accepted each applicant is required to edit a post here in the OOC thread and maintain it as their character's inventory post. I will provide an example once apps are submitted.

    7. When capturing pokemon, end your post with the ball shaking. I will label the wild Pokemon that are available for capture with their rarity, and unless its labeled as "rare" I will likely not refuse the capture. However, the better your post is, the higher level, better attacks, and maybe even an egg-move or useful hold item.

    8. Minimum posting rate is once per week, for each player. If you post less without giving me a decent reason, your spot on the RP can be opened up. If you think this will be hard to keep up with, then please don't sign up.

    Name: Ronan Burke
    Trainer class:
    Home Town: Pallet Town
    Age: 14
    Gender: Male
    Pokedex Color: Orange

    Biography: Ronan was born in the Hoenn region and actually spent much of his early life traveling with his families circus. They went all around the world putting on spectacular shows of man and Pokemon alike. Growing up, he constantly felt the pressure to live up to his father's grandeur. While it isn't to say his dad didn't love him, he always pushed him to do better--to try harder. While his mother displayed an opposite behavior, she didn't really have the means to contradict the patriarch of the family; it was him, after all, that spent strenuous hours to provide for the family. The son of what many might call gypsies, Ronan had many siblings--2 brothers and 4 sisters to be exact. And while the scale of the circus was large, his family actually confined themselves to a rather... cozy tent which had but a single room and multiple beds. On the plus side, tents don't have much in the way of insulation, so he quickly grew accustomed to extreme temperatures, and while he could stand the cold, it was always the heat that got to him.

    It was always rough on him, constantly moving around and never really having a steady home. As a result, when they toured through the Kanto region, he had the option to stay in Pallet town with his grandparents, much to his delight. While he hadn't made any close friends, he at least decided that it would be better to have a solid home in case he ever did. Thus, from the age 12 his life as "normal" kid began. He attended the Pallet Town Academy, and while school was not exactly his most favored thing, he was happy in that he now had something steady in his life, if only for a short while. The casual demeanor of his grandparents was also a comfort to him, very much different from the burdens of excellence placed upon him by his father. And unlike his mother, the couple didn't make a habit of simply letting the man of the family decide--almost everything they decided was a group call; that is, they sat around over dinner or maybe a cup of tea and discussed things to make sure that everyone's feelings were represented. Ultimately his grandparents had the final say, but they delighted in trying to make the young boy happy.

    Being a part of a traveling circus troupe, Ronan was accustomed to living a bit more of an exciting life. Big cities, the buzz of the neon lights. It was something that he didn't give up without thought, and something that he can easily say he misses from time to time. But again, having a stable home worked much better for him. Having a family that embraced his quirks and oddities rather than try to 'normalize' him, he grew up to be a pretty aloof--and frankly--odd kid. His best friends being fellow carnies or performers, he had trouble associating with those who led more... mundane lives. It helped none that anybody who recognized him only wanted to see him preform his circus tricks, which, much to their disdain he was unable as had no Pokemon. And even if he did, it's not as if just any Pokemon can wake up one day being a circus performer. While he did his best to appease them, he grew weary of being just a medium of laughter for other people, only furthering the divide he felt with other people.

    When it comes to training Pokemon, however, Ronan's experience with the Circus actually gives him an advantage. While he has no experience battling them, he has plenty of experience training them to follow his commands. And while some would argue it's nonsensical, others would argue its much harder to train a Pokemon to jump through hoops than it is to train them in their obvious nature of battling. When he found out he was selected for the PT test, it didn't shock him so much as it might have other kids, but his grandparents praised him endlessly for such an accomplishment. It wasn't exactly something that he wanted, however--he was done with traveling the world, he had moved in with his grandparents to GET AWAY FROM THAT. Reluctantly, however, he decided to pursue his journey at the behest of his grandpa, who assured him that it would be a nice balance between the sleepy life in a quaint little town and the life of a world-touring circus performer.

    Personality: Ronan is a naturally charismatic person and gets along with others rather quite well. This is in part due to the fact that getting along with people was essentially his life, but also due to his good-hearted nature. He appears shy and reserved at first, but this is only because he had a notable lack of close friends. It takes but a short while to get passed that, however, and to discover his true goofy nature. As a performer, it's his job to bring joy and laughter to other people, and it's actually something that he enjoys. It just bothers him a little that people tend to take him less seriously because of it. They think just because he is some circus performer that he has no other talents or dreams that he wishes to pursue. And that is something that royally frustrates him.

    While he was taught to keep his emotions in check for the benefit of the crowd, it was something he was never particularly good at. And when he gets upset or feels he is being treated unfairly, he's quick to show it--for better or worse. This leads to occasional tantrums and mild bouts of sadness at times of extreme emotion, but then again, what kid doesn't experience that type of stuff? Mostly, he gets angry at people who insult his intelligence or take a stab at his worth. While he was born into a family of circus performers, he has always aspired to do something a bit more prestigious. It's not to say he doesn't enjoy performing, because he does, but he doesn't particularly care for the recognition that it brings. He is a bit of a walking contradiction in that while he enjoys the excitement that something such as that brings, he would much prefer to be just another face in the background, doing his part to help this world out. He actually wants to be a Pokemon Scientist or a Doctor or something of that sort--something that he can actually do to help the world.

    Because of this, Ronan hates when people insult his intelligence. The circus shows only lasted a few hours, and he spent much of his free time studying. He actually enjoys learning, but you could easily much of this was prompted by the desire to not be looked at as some fool or simpleton. The enjoyment of it came much later when he realized all the different things he could apply this knowledge to. While he isn't the smartest kid on the block, he's far from the dumbest and he has no problem letting people know that, often putting up a stone-strong bravado even though it hurts him more than he lets on when people disrespect him in such a way. This hurt is exacerbated even more by the fact that it seems as though his parents do not support him such aspirations. To him, it appears as if they want nothing from him but to live with the circus until the day he can longer perform. Mostly, it's the pressure that he feels from his father and that constant sternness has created a bit of divide between the two--but not as large of a one as he has with his mother for standing idly by while he was clearly distressed. He loves his parents, of course, but it was always his grandparents who made him feel more at home.

    Ultimately, however, Ronan wants to impress his father, even if they don't get along. That is the main reason he decided to go on his Pokemon journey. Maybe the experiences he gained there would help him become a better performer in the circus. Or at least appreciate it more. After all, his father journeyed across the world with his Pokemon battling gym leaders and all that before he settled down and started his circus. While his father was far from the best, he did well enough to collect all the gym badges in his home region of Kanto; but when he traveled to other regions, where Pokemon contest were more common, he fell in love with those and that's where he got the idea for a Pokemon circus. Ronan has never experienced a contest, but it is something he often thinks about in delight.

    Appearance: Ronan has always been kind of a small, but that was actually a highlight during the times when he performed at the circus. Standing at 5'2" and weighing a mere 90 pounds, all the acrobatic acts that he was made to perform were done quite easily. In contrast to his family who always kept their hair very long, he preferred his golden locks to be shaved short to where it produced a slight fauxhawk. The golden color of his hair goes well to complement his bright green eyes and bronze complexion that was gathered from multiple days spent under the sun and practicing in the heat. Two small emerald studs with a golden casing sparkle brightly--even in dim lighting. While his nose is small, his has full lips that have a nice pale-red hue to them. Many would say he is a fairly attractive boy, but he is by no means "beautiful," just slightly above average in the looks department. When he smiles, his lips curve into a bit of a twisted smirk revealing that he only has a singular dimple on his left side. The feats he did while performing required a good amount of stamina, strength, and endurance so he has developed some pretty lean muscle mass, although since his time leaving the circus it has been toned back a bit, but not too much--and that is something he makes sure of by performing daily stretches and exercise.

    Always having to wear an extravagant costume during performances, Ronan dresses rather simply in a means of comfort. An orange polo, black sweats and white sneakers tend to be his usual apparel. This is one thing that he deals with simply, actually buying multiple pairs of black sweats and black polos. On the off day when he does laundry, or if it is too hot, he swaps the polo for a white under shirt and the sweats for a pair of orange basketball shorts, having multiple pairs of this outfit as well. His back-pack is of a sturdy make and is a simple brown color adorned with black trim. It has one strap that he usually slings across his chest, the strap having multiple slots for Pokeballs--it was actually something his grandparents bought him in honor of him being one of those eligible to become a trainer with the new sanctions.

    And while it is something he would almost NEVER wear, his circus outfit for acrobatic acts is a leotard that ends with legs like shorts as opposed to the usual underwear like appearance. It is mostly black, with breathable fabric of a purple color on his back and around his sides. A purple sweatband with a black poke-ball patch sewn into it keeps his hair in place, although much of it probably has to do with the length of his hair also. He his wristbands of a similar fashion

    [the trainer]


    Name: Ivo Smith
    Trainer class: Ace Trainer
    Home Town: Fortree City
    Age: 13
    Gender: Male
    Pokedex Color: Black

    Biography: Ivo was born in the lush, beautiful area of Fortree City. Ivo admired the city's architecture of treehouses, and never had problems when his friends from other cities said they wanted a treehouse. Ivo, despite living in a small town, didn't have many friends and was usually at home playing with his dads Wingull or sending letters to his grandma in Kanto. His parents, Briney Smith Jr. and Alexandra Smith came to Fortree after his grandpa, Briney Smith Sr. passed away near Rustoboro City. Ivo never met his grandfather, and was born when they arrived in Fortree. Ivo loved to climb around Fortree City and play in the deep, beautiful green jungle. He had a secret base which only him and his dad's Wingull, Perry, knew about. They went there almost everyday and Ivo's parents never questioned his motives. Ivo had a close friend named Jack whose parents came from Mossdeep city. He was a fairly pale young man when Ivo first met him. Jack being new to Fortree, and Ivo looking for a friend, the two bonded together due to their common intrest of friendship.

    Ivo was 8 years old when he was out with his Wingull and it began to evolve. This was the first time Ivo experienced evolution and it scared him and he started to panic. He hugged Wingull and the Wingull evolved into a Pelliper which hugged him back. Perry, despite having changed into a completely different pokemon, was still loved by the entire family. Despite it being Ivos first reaction to evolution, he still loved Perry as he was. Ivo had one friend, who was a construction worker. His name was Jack and him and Ivo went to the same school for a while until he decided to drop out and join the family business of construction working. After he joined the construction works, Ivo didn't see him as often as he would like to, but he had a Machop which Ivo and Perry would play with from time to time, and they showed him their secret base. Ivo's proudest possesion to date is his large Snorlax pillow which is in the corner of his base.

    Ivo later found out, when he was 11 years old, that the grandmother he was sending letter in Kanto to had died 8 years ago and that he was sending letters to no one. This morphed Ivo into a different person, Ivo was a bit depressed after this and realized that life has a dark side to it just like everything else in this world.

    Ivo, grewing up beside Pokemon, learned a lot about them and how to get along with them. He felt a very lovely connection with them and only with his Pokemon does he feel warm and safe. When Ivo was accepted into Pallet Academy, his parents sent him with glee. He was a determined and hard-working student who deserved to be in Pallet Academy. Ivo was very sad that he had to leave his life long friends, Perry and Jack. He will head back to Fortree City almost every summer and see his parents, Perry and Jack the construction worker. When he arrived at Pallet Town he settled down at a motel for a while until the Academy year started.

    Personality: Ivo is currently a shy and reserved child who preffers to stay in the background and allow other people to talk in his stead. He rarely voiced his opinions and when he did he would immediately try and become invisible and unnoticable. If there is ever a scenario where Ivo will take the spotlight, he will feel highly disturbed and will try and be secluded again. Ivo needs a friend in the world and feels a little lonely, however after years of isolation he has grown accustomed to being alone.

    Ivo was depressed when he learned that his grandmother died a long time ago and respectively it seriously afflicted his well-being. He skipped meals for a while and became slightly more violent and cold. He started giving people the cold shoulder. He still had a cheery and merry side, yet it is rarely shown on the surface. Ivo also has a very sensitive side and is not ashamed of crying infront of numerous people. Ivo is a bit of a pessimist and will immediately look at the dreary side of the situation.

    Appearance: Ivo is a fit 13 year old standing at 5 feet 4 inches and weighing 102 pounds. A small 13 year old who looks like he's had many sleepless nights even though Ivo is always well rested. Ivo has dirty blonde locks furrowing down from the sides of his face and meets his nape. He has a fairly dark complexion after staying in the sun almost everyday with Perry and Machop. He has light, deep green eyes which one could see the universe in. He has sufficient muscles for a 13 year old, carrying multiple items from his house to his secret base has finely toned his muscular build along with constant climbing yet not as much as a decent training exercise.

    Ivo usually wears a black t-shirt along with sweat pants for jogging and running. Ivo pertains to a more darker, monotone fashion sense so as to not attract attention. Ivo also wears a metallic wrist watch on his right arm and a bangle on his left. Ivo rarely combs his hair, however he does wash it fevorously. He likes the messy and ruffian hair style.

    Theme: I think some people might find this song familiar *sniff*

    Example Role-Play: Ivo woke up on a good note, he hopped out of bed with a happy expression. He checked off the date from his calendar which had large red letters written over August 1st. Today was the day that Ivo was going to recieve his notification about the PTAT and he was sure of it. He passed his class with flying colours and first in his class. August 1st, special day, PTAT, these were words that were just echoeing in his thoughts. He had a slightly more grim face when he saw that he was a month away for another same old school year, but if he passed his PTAT exam he wouldn't need to go to school! He went outside and Perry came flying down from his nest atop the house. Ivo had sweat on his furrow and brow the moment he walked outside. The unforgettable blazing heat of August in Fortree.

    The conditions here were alot better than most places considering it was a tropical forrest, but it was still hot nontheless. He went to his secret base and crashed on his gigantuar Snorlax bean bag. He dozed off for a while and when he awoke he was initially slow to respond, and then his eyes jolted upon as he remembered he was to recieve an e-mail. He sprinted home and went in his room checked his PC for any e-mails... there was none. It was already 7:00 PM and Machop and Jack probabally went home already. Perry squawked outside of his window, Ivo unlatched the window and slid it upwards as Perry came inside. Ivo directed his attention back to the PC as Perry peaked over his shoulder curiously.

    ~PING~ Ivo heard as his e-mail arrived. He saw what the e-mail entailed and he was jumping for joy and hugging Perry. "Hooray, Hoorah Perry!" he yelled, he also saw a little notification on his taskbar which stated '30 Students of the PTAT [Leaked]' from one of his social forums. His parents came upstairs to see what all the fuss was about. His parents, after checking the e-mail on the screen, soon joined his joyous dance. He went downstairs with an unwavering grin. He sat down beside his parents and started to watch some TV along with them.

    It was almost an hour after Ivo recieved the e-mail did the news report begin talking about a terrible kismet. Ivo felt sorrow and remorse. He mourned for the lost 10 people. The world is a cruel place, he thought to himself. He saw the letters inscribed in the rig, SCAR. "This is the third time this week!" said Briney, "what are these terrorists trying to do!?" he exclaimed, clearly pissed off. Ivo felt a stab of pain jolt through the back of his right shoulder as if somone was cooking his shoulder. He didn't feel good...

    Letters, he thought. Different arrays of unorganized letters. He snapped back to reality as his father switched off the TV "Go to sleep Ivo, try not to think about it too hard, ok sport?." Right now ivo was thinking of the letters. He went upstairs and disregarded thhe feeling, it was a tiring say and he deserved a good-nights rest.

    [the starter]​


    Pokemon: Mareep
    Nickname: Watt
    Gender: Male

    Egg Move: Iron Tail

    Personality: Watt has a certain quirk which most Mareep don't use very often. Watt is observant. While most Mareep frollick in a field with their shocking wool, Watt stands back and observes. Watt notices when danger is coming and as such acts accordingly. Watt is also very stern in most situation, and is very serious about battling. Watt is determined to help his trainer. Watt also has a very nice and warm side to him, and he opens up that side to very select people. Watt is also very good at expressing his own emotions and opinions about a subject, and is not afraid to convey his emotions into other people unlike Ivo.

    Watt can be very rambunctious when arguing with other people, however he keeps his cool most of the times. Had it not been for Ivo calming him down countless time, Watt would've started shocking people. Do not mistake Watt for the rash kind, however. He does think most of his decisions through, and as such is quite intelligent. Analytical and observant is what spells out this Mareep the best. Accompanied with his egg move Iron Tail, Watt can identify weak locations and capitalize on them.

    Unique Traits: Watt wears a scarf and is exceptionally more indulged in intellect than most mareep.... Yeah that's about it.


    Also I just listened to the soundcloud theme you put up CM. Rest in peace Nujabes, poor guy.

    @NyxShooter

    I called dibs on Mareep first so I don't know if the reservation for Mareep is for the one that called dibs or the first completed one.

  • The reservation for the Mareep is for the person who ends with the best SU at the end of the week, also this RP has no reservations. I have recieved a PM from Charizard stating what I said that the best takes Mareep. I wouldn't be too happy if a barebones RP took the spot for an SU i worked two hours~ on. Would feel a bit unfair, no?

    I wont stand back!
    However i wanted Aron... Sninf...;-;

    Edit: I think my character goes to the academy at 14 years old.

    Part 1: The Trainer

    Name: Gelius Slyther
    Trainer Class: Pokemon Trainer
    Hometown: Lavaridge Town
    Age: 14
    Gender: Male
    Pokedex Color: Grey

    Biography: Gelius came from Lavaridge Town. When he was 14, Gelius went to Pallet Town to register himself to the Pallet Academy. 1 month after leaving Lavaridge, Gelius is studying about pokemon and Miscellaneous things.

    Personality: He is a funny guy sometimes and serious other times. Always thinking about something.

    However Gelius does not like to be ordered by anyone. He stubborn, impatient and he is very hasty that he does not wait for someone.

    Appearance: He is 13 years old, measures 1.70 m. and weighs 67 kg. Gelius is not very strong so some bullies "bully" him. He has brown eyes and brown hair.

    He usually wears a black hat, Jeans, black shirt, red shoes and a bag. Gelius has a Silver wrist watch on his left hand.

    Theme: Paradise - Coldplay

    RP-Sample: Gelius woke up, with Num,the Numel , the family pokemon, at his side. He looks to the Lavaridge Town on the window. Then he checked the calendar with the 1st August marked with the letters PTAT. He ignored for being half sleeping. Then he quickly turn back to the room and checked again. Today was 1st August. Gelius just warns the family that today might be able to recieve an important E-mail today. If he passed his PTAT test he would not nee to go to the Rusturbo's School, That is far and dangerous to go alone. Lavaridge was very but very hot at August.

    The conditions were good and was on a calm place. Gelius wanted to get his pokemon too. He went to the gym to pass some time with his friend, Flannery. Then he went to the shop. He bought somethings for his voyage. Then he went home and checked the PC and when he opened the PC... He heard a "PING". He went to the E-Mail.

    When Gelius opened the E-Mail, he yelled while hugging Num. "Yahooooooooooooooo!" Gelius had passed on the test. He saw a taskbar saying "30 students of the PTAT..." Was... Was... Gelius had no idea what was. Maybe from the forum that he is a member. The brother appeared and said: "What is happening?! Shut up because i'm studying!" Right...

    Gelius was with his parents, his brother, Num, and his grandparents at the dinner. They were watching the news. It was awful! 10 people died on Pewter City on a pokemon center. There were letters saying SCAR. "These terrorists! Causing havoc! I hope Lavaridge is not affected..."

    There was something on the Tv but id didn't matter. Gelius and Num went sleeping. The day was big.

    The Starter

    Pokemon: Squirtle
    Nickname: Squirt
    Gender: Male

    Personality: Squirt is very calm, always near its trainer. Squirt also loves to fight. However, Squirt is not stubborn, that's the opposite of Gelius. Squirt never gives up and is impatient.

    Egg Move: Dragon Pulse

    Unique traits: Squirt has a band on the head with a dragon face design. Maybe its because of his egg move, Dragon Pulse.

  • NOTICE: I have updated the application with a new field for your starter where you can choose the egg move desired, I forgot to include this earlier.
    NOTICE: I will have my application up hopefully today, or tomorrow. Anyone is welcome to critique it and let me know if I should change anything, while I am guaranteed a spot I am no less safe from criticism than any of you.

    Name: Ronan Burke
    Trainer class:
    Home Town: Pallet Town
    Age: 14
    Gender: Male
    Pokedex Color: Orange

    A circus performer, interesting. Everything seems fine so far, the only quarrel i have with your app is the biography. Nothing too bad it just seems that there is hardly any information on his early childhood. He almost immediately settles down in Pallet and the academy, I'd like a bit more information on his past before Pallet. What were his parents like? Any friends? Being a traveling circus perfromer I'm sure there's tons of cool stuff about him.

    When it comes to training Pokemon, however, Ronan's experience with the Circus actually gives him an advantage. While he has no experience battling them, he has plenty of experience training them to follow his commands. And while some would argue it's nonsensical, others would argue its much harder to train a Pokemon to jump through hoops than it is to train them in their obvious nature of battling. When he found out he was selected for the PT test, it didn't shock him so much as it might have other kids, but his grandparents praised him endlessly for such an accomplishment. It wasn't exactly something that he wanted, however--he was done with traveling the world, he had moved in with his grandparents to GET AWAY FROM THAT. Reluctantly, however, he decided to pursue his journey at the behest of his grandpa, who assured him that it would be a nice balance between the sleepy life in a quaint little town and the life of a world-touring circus performer.

    This entire last paragraph doesn't really belong in his biography, I mean there is no explanation of events in his past really. You can get away with the whole training them to jump through hoops bit, but the PT test part is definitely a no-go because the characters aren't notified about the test until the rp sample so this does not belong in the biography.

    Reserve me a spot because this SU will take some time you know.

    There are no reservations as stated in the rules. Other than that, the parts you did write are okay other than some awkward wording and grammar errors here and there. Nothing too serious, but just keep going and finish.

    I noticed a small little disclaimer in the corner of your CSS, that and the plot is what convinced me to join ^_^

    [the trainer]


    Name: Ivo Smith
    Trainer class: Ace Trainer
    Home Town: Fortree City
    Age: 13
    Gender: Male
    Pokedex Color: Black


    Haha credit where credit is due my dude, and I see so a descendant of ol Mister Briney eh? Seems like a cool concept, so I like your biography. It gives a good amount of history before Pallet detailing his life in Fortree, except the fact about his friend with the Machop? I understand that was his close friend but for being an important characer in his life there isn't much information on him. You know? Also, there's no mention of Pallet. You have to at least mention his acceptance into Pallet Academy and his arrival there. It's fine to go back to Fortree during summer breaks and what not but yeah you're missing a major aspect there. Remember, Minimum age of acceptance is 10. Everything else checks out fine, well written.

    Wait a sec...

    @NyxShooter

    I called dibs on Mareep first so I don't know if the reservation for Mareep is for the one that called dibs or the first completed one.
    The reservation for the Mareep is for the person who ends with the best SU at the end of the week, also this RP has no reservations. I have recieved a PM from Charizard stating what I said that the best takes Mareep. I wouldn't be too happy if a barebones RP took the spot for an SU i worked two hours~ on. Would feel a bit unfair, no?

    As stated in the rules: there are NO reservations. Everyone picks whatever starter they want, regardless of what anyone else picks. This helps breed competition and with it comes improvement for writing. So whoever will get Mareep in the end will be decided by the end of the week long application period. Whoever has the better sign up will receive the Mareep.

    I wont stand back!

    I-Is this application done? Because it is very short and needs major detail, also there are a few grammar mistakes. If it is a work in progress I understand and keep up the work, but if it is finished just letting you know my dude you need to put in some serious work.

    Yeah, I'm not finished with it yet :p It was just super late when I started to write it so I just wanted to get down my basic ideas for now.

    About the grammar errors that'd because i'm from another country. And about my SU being short, i do not have so much details because i'm already on another RP and i do not have all the time to do a big SU. Maybe on future when i have time i include a theme and work for a better SU.

    I would like to remind you that SUs are only going to be reviewed at the end of the week, SUs wont be accepted after this week I think.

    Yo. Just stopped by to say you've got another person interested. I've only been in a couple of Rps, so don't exactly know what's the norm for this community, when someone drops out mid-rp. If I don't send my app on time, I'm gonna be around if anyone ever drops out, assuming you're not just gonna write off that one member icly and continue on like nothing happened. Oh, and before I forget, is it okay to mention on the app, that my character could be a fan of Red's?
