    Poke'mon : The Challenge : OOC thread


    IC thread is (link coming soon)



    Note: This is a semi-chaptered RP. I have a general outline of the order of events and what will happen, but what your characters do will greatly influence the outcome of the roleplay.

    Sign Ups are: OPEN in the IC thread


    Plot:

    You know about Poke'mon, obviously. Everyone does, even if they live under a rock. Many of you grew up with Poke'mon, others always dreamed of becoming a trainer or coordinator. And now, Poke'mon have a problem. They need your help. There is a company I know all of you have heard of – Playful Pokemon brand. it's a huge industry, all over nearly every region. Well, this company, known and loved by nearly all, is not what it seems. Playful Poke'mon Incorporated is, on the surface, a hugely successful industry providing products necessary for daily life. But behind the scenes, the higher-ups in the company are moving towards making Poke'mon extinct, that's right, extinct.

    Unfortunately, there's hardly anything the Elite Four, Gym Leaders, and Champion can do about this – Playful Poke'mon is just too big a corporation, but they must be stopped. They have a plan. This year, for both coordinators and trainers, there will be two cups held, one public, and one behind the scenes. Promising trainers will receive invitations, whether they have already acquired all eight gym badges for the region or not, to the second cup, signed by the champion of their home region theirself. This second cup will be kept entirely secret, even to the invited trainers, until the Gym Leaders, Elite Four members, and Champions know who they can trust.
    The goal of the competition is simple: to find not yet well known, powerful trainers who connect well with pokemon to infiltrate the Playful Poke'mon company inconspicuously, and bring it to its end before too much more damage can be done.

    You.

    You are a trainer, and may come from Johto, Hoenn, Kanto, or Sinnoh. You may ONLY come to the secret cup with Poke'mon found in your region. You have been invited to the Secret Cup, but you don't know what it is. This is the information contained in your information letter:

    Dear (name),
    You have shown much promise as a trainer and I would like to meet you personally along with a few other select trainers. I would appreciate it if you would meet me in the Snowpoint City Poke'mon Center on June 4th at noon. Nurse Joy will know where to find me. Boat and train tickets are included, and are non-transferrable.
    Thank you!
    (Region champion)

    Rules

    The basic things. No godmodding or spam, don't post too much OOC after we start and follow the PC rules. I feel that this is a given.
    On reservations: They are allowed, and I appreciate them, as it usually means that you spent time and effort on your character. Reservations expire after about 48 hours. That's two days.
    Try to post frequently.


    Alright, this thread is for everything that isn't roleplaying.
     
    Cloud Strife's right, it's Steven.
     
    I am sorry, Dragon Song, but my laptop is just an idiot. I was making good progress on my Signup, but my laptop pulled a blank screen, like one of my friends can pull a magic trick, and, voila, my work was completely erased! Sometimes I love technology, sometimes I hate it... So, I'll try to catch your next RP. We'll meet again, in future times...

    Quick question. What's the basic order you want things to happen? Are you going to be the one to control the champs?
     
    Quick question. What's the basic order you want things to happen? Are you going to be the one to control the champs?

    The basic order is fairly simple.
    The people arrive
    The Champions make an announcement (About the secret cup. You can't know this will happen though. Remember Character Knowledge.)
    The trainers react.
    Then there will be a contest, the nature of which I will announce later, and the results of that contest will be the cause of the next thing to happen. This part will involve a lot of PMing.

    And yes, I will be controlling the champs.
     
    OK! Because yours truly is incredibly picky about character knowledge, this part will invole lots of PMs. If you're not comfortable about PMs, find some other way to contact me. Thanks! ; )

    In other notes, we now have 100 posts in the IC thread. Strikit, you get a cookie.

    Hooray! I love cookies. I also love Fyora. She's an idea I've had floating in my head for a while, and Razor the Sneasel has always been her companion. Finally I get to use her. XD

    I'd love to bring Esthin and Korbin into the RP later, as maybe a personality buff to help explain who she is and why, but only if the opportunity arises. I just love them, and intend to use them to RP with as well in other plotlines.
     
    Are Esthin and Korbin human?

    Just wondering, I might have a very important job for them.

    IMPORTANT: I MAY NOT BE ABLE TO GET ON AGAIN FOR TWO DAYS (starting now). THIS MEANS I CAN'T PM YOU. Sorry guys! I'll be back Monday.

    Esthin and Korbin are both human, Fyora's older brothers. If Fyora is seventeen in this RP, that makes Korbin twenty one and Ethan nineteen. They both have Sneasel as their starter as well, due to the egg clutch that Fyora's mother obtained and gave to her children. But the three Sneasel, as well as their brother Dante's, are quite different.

    Korbin is currently in Blackthorn with his family, as is Esthin.
     
    Hmm...
    What to they do? I mean, did they just do the classic "Go on journey, come home from journey, be couch potato for rest of life" thing or...?
     
    Korbin aspires to become a sort of training instructor. He doesn't look like it, but he loves kids, and he loves pointing them in the right direction in their lives. He feels Pokemon training, when introduced properly, is a perfect way to assure that they will build intellect, self-respect, and respect for nature. If you like, he can already have advanced so far as to be beginning to train younger trainers.

    Esthin wants to own the first ever Dark type gym. He can't understand why such a powerful, beautiful element is not given a gym of its own. Of course, he overlooks the unstable temperaments of the Dark Pokemon, and the incredible power they are capable of. That could perhaps be dangerous. I'm thinking in a future RP I'll host, he'll have begun to establish his gym in the Hoenn region, after one of the other leaders steps down, but Steven will think it too dangerous and try to legally stop him. When that doesn't work, Esthin messes with the balance of nature by having so many Dark types concentrated in one place.

    ...or something.

    Either way, Esthin loves Dark types, practically worships them, only trains them, wants to open a gym.
     
    Actually, I think I can work with that.

    OK, in other news, Cloud Strife has dropped out of the RP.
    If anyone else drops out in the next week I'll reopen sign-ups.

    On another note, I'm hoping to revitalize the RP ASAP, sorry about that. When life attacks (again)...
