Pokemon Roleplay Discussion

[Hansa]

+Pokéma looks great so far! Let me know if you get it accepted as quickly as possible, this sounds awesome!!!

 

[Kon~]

:D
I'm so happy that attention is being payed to my little RP *cough+AnimaRipoffcough* :D

I subbed it. Now it's just a matter of waiting... and waiting... and I'mma go fill in my own SU so as not to be hypocritical. :D

*happyhappyjoyjoy*

 

[ANARCHit3cht]

I love +Anima, which is why I don't love +Pokema. I would be more interested, should it be the original. Another, thing, it is just a Pokemorph with a better formed ideal on how people get morphed.

 

[Hansa]

I wouldn't say so! Pokemorph is really just an idea where humans get attributes and powers from Pokémon... which is a really vague idea, that I've never liked at all

+Pokéma get a body part or two from the Pokémon. This gives more creativity to the powers, and limitations (thank god)...
i.e. You can't use "Ice Fang" even if you get a Croconaw's claws and tail...

But hey, I guess you have your rights, and the right to have an opinion... But it's pretty meaningless to post that you don't like it, without constructive criticism at all or suggestion to fix the so-called 'problem'

 

[ORegan]

I'm on the fence about it. I'll sign up with a character I have in my mine...who will most likely end up being a 'bad' +Pokema user

Story: Every 4 years the pokemon world championship is held and all four regions compete against one another. You are one person chosen too be on one of the four teams. (Kanto,Johto,Hoenn,Sinnoh) And the entire event is disturbed when Rayquaza comes in and shoop-do-woops the place and then you are chosen by a man named Ceasar to be one of the (preferably 4)people (one of each region)to stop the thing that is disturbing the legendaries. (you get to chose what's disturbing them Mrs./Mr. Roleplay Master)

Somebody please be a roleplay master for this. I just can't do it.

P.S. i'll get more in depth if you message me about ithttps://www.pokecommunity.com/editpost.php?do=editpost&p=5940658

 

[Tuxedo Clank]

That seems like a fairly interesting RP Baseballa. I would love to see more of the plot (small warning, I can either be very critical of things or very easy to please. You gotta get me in the right mood, try right after a big meal :P). I am not sure about the 4 person limit. Is it essential to the plot? Would it be possible to get an extra person on there if someone leaves?

I am a bit tired so I can't really come up wih any good questions at the moment. See you all later...possibly a lot later.

I love Social Studies. Thus, I base my RP ideas on American history. Check this one out, and criticize. It's not complete yet.

26 Suns/9 Moons/ 1000 Summers
Once upon a time, the country of Reytopia was populated by only one culture. The Reytopian society was undistured.
We were a flourishing tribe. We lived on the coast of our contries. The land is wonderful and prosperous. There is abundance of everything. We fish by lakes near the mountains. There is always plenty there, but we only take what we need. We believe that fish have just as much right to live as we do. We always celebrate joy and happiness on the lovely Soul Sands. It is a beautiful beach. At every first sun of every moon, we celebrated Genera, the Goddess of Birth here. We also celebrated all of the other gods on the beach. On every last sun of every moon, we celebrated Mortea, the Goddess of Death, on the beach to keep her happy. But, now, she is raging. Her shadow came upon us tonight.
Pokemon were also rich. Many populated the beach, ocean, and the surrounding woods and mountains. We have so far seen over 200. They are all so unique. Every member of the Solaras Tribe who has seen over 5 summers has a Pokemon. They play with it, and the men of the community use them as hunting partners.
But after tonight, Reytopia would no longer be the same.
~Dark Warrior

As I looked out onto the beach, I saw a bright white object illuminating the night sky. I originally thought it was Luna, the goddess of the Moon, but the moon didn't move so quickly through the sky. And, the object was shaped like a long rock, and was small. As it went down, I noticed that it was much bigger than I thought. What is this object? The tribe had never witnessed anything like this before.
Once the ship landed, these people with really pale skin and short hair came out. This was even weirder.

First off, I think it would be wrong to suggest that Native American cultures can all be melded into one - they were very different, after all. There are thousands of different tribes and languages! It might be better to focus on a certain region - say, West Coast, or Prairies - and build up the culture around that. I'm sure your history course has described how closely Native American cultures were connected to their environment and lifestyle. Teepees on the prairies, log cabins on the coast.

Second, be careful not to make your roleplay too anvilicious. It's easy to portray the 'white man' as a selfish, heartless barbarian, as though this would make up for how the settlers treated the Native Americans. But I think you would have a far more interesting - and realistic - roleplay if you made both sides somewhat sympathetic.

 

[Musician of Literature]

Yes, Rabbit, I know Native American cultures cannot unify. I paid attention in social studies. I know that there were different geography, religions, languages, etc. There was that Solaras Tribe I mentioned. That will be the tribe I'll focud on. I also said they lived on the East Coast of Reytopia.

Thank you for your criticism.

 

[I Laugh at your Misfortune!]

Eh, sounds like a kinda interesting idea to me. But I agree that you need to make sure to treat both sides fairly.

 

[Zeturic]

I have a plot idea, but, unfortunately, there are some things that need to be worked out.
Plus, there's the fact that I'm rarely active enough to actually host a RP.

The year is 3023. Humans have completely conquered Earth. There is no distinction between 'wild' and 'captured' Pokémon; it's all the same. Even the Legendaries have gotten caught and have bent to the will of their human captors. For most, it's not that different from before; what they'd agreed to. But to some, namely the Legendaries, they regret the decision to go along with the Pokémon-Trainer relationship, and they want out.

More than that. They're out for revenge. The humans disregarded their stature, and forced them to do their bidding as only they could. Such torture shouldn't go unpunished, so they formulate a plan. A gruesome plan. A plan the contents of which entails killing their human captors, and liberating every Pokémon of the human menace. After all, the humans have been abusing the privilege of training them.

Only one Legendary, Celebi, chose not to accept their plan. A time-traveler, Celebi has seen the horrible future that'll come to pass if the others have their way. But, at the same time, she knows that things must change, or a rebellion that'll kill everybody is inevitable.

Celebi, in desperation, uses her powers to summon many trainers, from many different times, to her and explains the situation. Unfortunately, most of the trainers refuse to help, leaving only a handful to do so.

These trainers must go into a world filled with scientists who assure the populous that nothing the Legendaries are capable of is outside of the realm of what they could deal with, and convince them the very opposite.

Other than that, I think it would be fun to do, though. The futuristic setting would be interesting, plus the fact that you could have people from the past. I think it would be interesting to see how a medieval trainer, for instance, reacts in a futuristic world.

The main problem with my plot, though, is intertwined with the very core of the plot: it's about an idea, and changing that idea. To kill an idea is impossible, so it would be hard to truly end (other than the thread dying).

Though, if anyone would actually want to host it, I wouldn't mind, though I doubt anyone would want to do such an odd plot.

Okay, so my RP "Focus Shift" died earlier this year and so i set about rewriting it, and editing it.

The underlying plot is that there exist humans called "Shifters" who use their Pokemon (called Catalysts) to shift between the realm we exist in now and another realm, the Aether Realm. But something is stirring, something that has nineteen year old Ichiro Raigami scared and as such, he sends out a 'call' to other Shifters; trying to band together a group of Shifters and Catalysts to both figure out and defeat what is stirring.

Here are some of the terms used (they might help a bit):

Spoiler:

Catalyst:
Only select species of Pokémon have the chance to be a catalyst and even within those species, it is very rare for a Catalyst to exist. Like their Human counterparts, Catalysts cannot shift between the Contemporary Realm and the Aether Realm but it is heavily suspected that they live in both Realms simultaneously. They essentially act as the fulcrum for their Human counterparts to both enter and exit the Aether Realm. Catalyst are said to be the 'other half' of a Shifter's soul, and as such it is by this connection that Shifters and Catalysts can find each other. Catalysts are often very loyal and very protective of their Shifter and will do anything to protect them. Catalysts are usually born at the same time as their Shifter but sometimes no more than one day before or after.

Shifting:
This is the act where a select person (called a Shifter) uses his/her Pokémon (called a Catalyst) as a fulcrum to essentially shift from the Contemporary Realm into the Aether Realm and back. When shifting, a Shifter's consciousness is moved from the Contemporary Realm where it would otherwise permanently exist, to the Aether Realm. In the Aether Realm, normal people are seen as ghostly images, speculated as 'souls' whilst a Shifter sees their body and other Shifters' bodies as what they would be like in the Contemporary Realm. Shifting is seen as the only way (currently) to get from one realm to the other, excluding the portal to the Distortion World in Turnback Cave, Sinnoh.

Shifters:
Shifters are people, who with the help of a Pokémon know as a "Catalyst", can shift between the Contemporary Realm and the Aether Realm. They are very rare and make up less than 1% of the world's total population. Shifters usually become aware of their powers at the age of fifteen, and this usually involves a shift into the Aether Realm with their Catalyst. Sifters are usually born at the same time as their Catalyst but no more than one day before or after. Unlike Catalysts, Shifters only exist in the one realm, using their shifting abilities to jump from one realm to the other.

Calling/The Call:
The Call; or the act of Calling is the instance where a Shifter sends a message through the Aether Realm to other Shifters out there. The Call can be received in the Aether Realm and in the Contemporary Realm but can only be sent from the Aether Realm. If not directed specifically to someone (by visualising them with the Shifters mind whilst sending them call), it ends up spreading throughout the Aether Realm (much like ripples on a lake when a stone is dropped in the water). Catalysts are usually the ones who catch the signal transmission due to their simultaneous existence in both realms, and act as transceivers; catching the signal of the call and transmitting it to their human through the bond that they share. This transmitting is usually done through both Catalyst and Shifter locking eyes.

Places:

Aether Realm:
This realm exists close to our conscious Contemporary Realm. It mostly exists as a grey, hazy world where buildings and nature become transparent and shimmering, ghostly images of people and Pokémon appear; this is speculated to be their Spirit, hence the name of the realm. There is no weather in the Aether Realm, this includes wind. Pokémon known as Catalysts are said to live in both the Contemporary Realm and Aether Realm simultaneous but this too is highly speculated. When moving from the Human Realm to the Aether Realm, Shifters take their bodies with them meaning that when they Shift out of the Aether Realm into the Human Realm, they effectively teleport somewhere else. There is no sound in the Aether Realm however it has been noted that both Pokémon and humans can talk in this realm through some sort of telekinesis. It has been speculated that in some cases, people have been able to converse with their Pokémon, however there is no evidence to back this theory up. It is sometimes confused with the Distortion World of Giratina, due to its oddly different environment, but it is something completely different.

Contemporary Realm:
The realm that we see around us; this realm holds our consciousness' as well as our physical bodies. Here is where humanity and Pokémon have flourished and lived. Most people here are not able to shift between the realms; possibly even less than 1% of the world's population can 'shift' into other dimensions or possesses knowledge of other existing dimensions. The Contemporary Realm is where our physical bodies exist, where as the Aether Realm is said to be where our 'souls' exist, moving in relation to where our physical bodies move. When travelling to the Aether Realm, a Shifter's body is thought to go into some sort of 'Limbo", waiting for the Shifter to reappear which is effectively teleportation.

what do you think?

For those who were asking, +Pokéma just got approved and is ready to recieve signups. :p

See you there!

what do you think?

Mm, I'd have to know something about the plot to cast judgement on this one. What you have is basically just a detailed description of a fantastical premise: two worlds, teenagers and their companions that move between them having adventures. It reminds me of Digimon and something else that's very much like Digimon. I'd like to know whether there Catalysts have any meaning in their lives aside from helping teenagers have adventures, but that's a minor thing. The premise looks sound.

As for the thing that's 'stirring', well, that doesn't tell me much about the plot. On the one hand it could mean a complex quest with a lot of discoveries and twists; on the other hand it could mean just a big boss battle with a lot of training before hand.

 

[Swolligator]

Yea, i have a minimal plot at the moment due to re-editting. but thank you for your input.
Also the Catalysts are the "second half" of a Shifters soul, so at the moment their only real purpose is to aid the shifters.

 

[Ash_Ketchum123]

Hey everyone!

I've been thinking about making about making an RP that is somehow realted to "Mystery Dungeon". Sadly, I don't have enough creative juice to create a good plot for it. So far it's just this:

The hunt is on for treasure! Exploration teams from all guilds are in search of glory and riches, but they have no idea what may be in store for them in some dungeons they decide to explore. Now, unrecognized teams will become famous, and the famous teams virtually invisible. Which guild will become the richest and most famous guild in the land?

Hope someone else can continue this! :D

If someone did make one, I'll be sure to sign up for it.

[Konekodemon]

I'm terrible at the advanced style of Pokemon roleplaying this site requires. Could someone teach me how to do advanced style RPGs?

 

[Doctor Scavengar]

Hi everyone! Speaking of pokémon RP, there's this great one:

www.pokemonatlas.forumperso.com

(You can see the banner in my signature.) It is still a bit under construction, but it's nearly done! You can still play, and it involves ALL the regions, from Kanto to Sinnoh!
(Later on, there will be islands and new places to discover!)

Try it! ;)

 

[Shen]

So uh, what's the general status of the roleplay part of this site? Active or not? Looks like there was some sort of kafuffle late July...
