I thought I might try adding a new RP. However, this one will hopefully travel across all the regions. That's the main goal.
Note: Do not bother joining if you're too busy to stick around or if you're the type to vanish from the community/RP forum for awhile; I want this to go smooth and fun and that requires consistent posting!
Plot:
Trainers from all across the Kanto region traveled to the world renowned lab of Professor Oak, the Pokemon Professor, to receive their first starter Pokemon and begin their journey, no matter where it led them. In the past, many trainers have come and gone by themselves or in pairs but this time around the Professor had a new policy. For the next few years the trainers he gave Pokemon to would not be able to travel alone, at least not if they wanted to follow the new standards of the Pokemon League. This League wasn't just the Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, or Sinnoh league: instead it was one giant Pokemon Trainer Tournament that trainers from across every region could come to participate in.
Each year the tournament was held in a different region, this year in Sinnoh. The tournament attracted trainers from all over the world that had to show proof of either twelve gym badges or some other status recommending them for participation (you could earn maybe ten badges and win a competition or two to prove you're the real deal). Twelve gym badges would probably require travel between at least two of the regions before heading over to Sinnoh to take place in the tournament. As a group, trainers would have to cooperate and work with one another but not just for survival and travel sake: the groups which consisted of five trainers max had to make sure that no more than two people in the group had the same gym badge. This proved to the League they had variety and have also traveled enough to earn the League's respect. Once the group reached the League's doorstep, however, only two challenge rounds involved them fighting as a team. The rest would be up to each individual trainer. Winning or doing well at the least would bring those trainer world respect as great Pokemon Trainers.
What we do: A group of trainers are already a bit into their journey from Professor Oak's lab in Kanto (no you do not have to have one of the Kanto starters, as they have now begun offering Pokemon from each region, but yes you must choose one of the starters. Once one of those is claimed, another entry cannot be put up with that Pokemon.) We'll start off in the Kanto region but each trainer signs up here with exactly 3 badges in hand already, as well as a team of at least 3 solid Pokemon. During the story we will not only compete for badges and other contested prizes but we will encounter many other groups that we'll have to challenge and re-meet throughout our journey.
(Required information: I can only accept 4 other trainers besides myself, detailed descriptive people will indeed be chosen over short written bios.)

Pokemon: (At this stage in the story, your characters should probably only have 3-5 standard Pokemon on their teams, nothing too powerful and nothing too out of the ordinary, but please be original! We'll of course run into many wild creatures that you can capture and befriend to your hearts content. Oh and no legendaries =P. Though later on we may all have opportunities to catch some.)
Badges: (Like I said, each of us has 3 already. I'll choose the town we start in after I get the entries, but remember only two people in the group can have the same badge. If you see it's been taken twice, use a different one. Note: Obviously in the game levels determine the strength between gym leaders, but here we assume Brock's Onix could be just as tough to beat sometimes as Blaine's Arcanine. At least to a certain extent.)
RP Sample:
My Sheet
Name: Ryan Aquaras
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Type of Trainer: Ace Trainer
Appearance: Ryan is a 5'7'' teen with neck length blonde hair that's often messy and can cover his eyes, bright blue in color. He can often be seen wearing a white t-shirt with some type of sports symbol on the front, usually a tennis racket because he's a great fan of it. Over the light shirt is a kind of black vest, but instead of winter wear its long and thin, hanging down to his pants pockets. He carries his Pokeballs at his belt which is really just the brim of his tan shorts where the capturing devices are clipped on around his waist. His shorts are longer than most, hanging past his knees and he wore white sneakers with black lines across the front. He also has a pair of blue sunglasses that he doesn't wear too often but when he does, he means business. His mother's necklace of a blue crescent moon hangs around his neck. Sometimes he uses the two clips on his vest front to hold Pokeballs he'd like to use in battle right away.
Personality: Ryan is a somewhat quiet person, never saying too much but always saying just enough to keep the momentum of the group going. He's easy to get along with and normally finds good solutions to any problem the group runs into. Calm, cool and collected, Ryan knows when to say what's on his mind and when to let things pan out on its own. He likes to read and write mostly as he would like to become a Pokemon Journalist and write for the Spearow Gazette back in Cerulean City when he's too old to continue his journey. He prefers water Pokemon overall, mostly because he grew up admiring the sea, lakes and rivers and all the creatures that inhabited it. He loved that something so beautiful could be so vast at the same time and wanted to harness the power and love of the water creatures. Although he's neither too outgoing nor wild, getting him angry or in trouble will put you on his list.
History: When Ryan was born his father was in the military and they were living in Slateport City in the Hoenn region. As he turned four, his younger brother was born and the whole family moved to Kanto to Cerulean City. He didn't remember much from Hoenn but he did remember the ports and the ocean and remembered how in awe he was as such a tiny kid overlooking that gigantic body of water. His parents experienced a big change in their lives, the people of Kanto were very upbeat and laid back at the same time unlike the Slateportians who rushed around all the time and never stopped having fun. But since Ryan was still little he never really called any place other than Cerulean his home. He loved Pokemon the first chance he got to study about them in school and although he paid attention in classes like history and English (just assuming we speak English here, haha) he often slacked in mathematics and science classes to study up on Pokemon so he could get his license and be off on a journey. Unfortunetly he could never do that at the age of twelve (the standard age to let children go off on their journeys was raised from ten because of issues with parents) because he had to take care of his brother while his dad was off on trips and his mom worked locally. Once he turned sixteen his brother was thirteen and capable of watching himself on lazy afternoons, so Ryan headed down to Pallet Town with the approval of his parents to begin his life as a Pokemon Trainer.
Pokemon:
Squirtle (M): Ryan's friend that he received from Professor Oak's lab. A trusted and hot-headed companion, Squirtle is always ready for a battle. His first Pokemon, Ryan talked to Squirtle a lot to understand his speech in some ways and to get to know the little turtle. Ryan held onto Squirtle as his only Pokemon for awhile during the start of the traveling, gaining a 12-0 battle record in one on one battles with trainers his group met, before finally falling to a member of his own group (first person who wants that honor can say so, haha). Even though Squirtle is quite powerful already, he refuses to evolve into a Wartortle until he knows he's ready for the change.
Poliwhirl (M): Ryan met this Pokemon as a Poliwag while the group passed through Cerulean City. It was the offspring of one of the Cerulean Sister's Pokemon and Ryan was permitted to keep it. Poliwag is Ryan's most likeable companion and the easiest to get along with. It evolved into a Poliwhirl during his battle with Misty, out to show the sisters how much Ryan and it had grown together. It's probably the Pokemon Ryan gets along with the best and the one most like him.
Fearow (F): Fearow was caught as a Spearow near the outskirts of Viridian Forest. Ryan thought it would be a good addition to his team but soon found out how troublesome the girl bird Pokemon was. Hardly listening in his battles with bug catchers inside the forest, Ryan called it back and said he'd wait to really train it. Unfortunetly, he was pressured into being one of the trainers to battle Brock and soon after Brock's Rhyhorn had slammed Squirtle into defeat, Ryan had no choice but to use Spearow. Impressively, Spearow came through with critical Pecks and Wing Attacks to subside the already weakened Rhyhorn. After that, Spearow was still ignorant toward other members of the large party, only thinking Ryan was fit to train it. It evolved in Mt. Moon after protecting a small portion of the group from wild Golbat.
Graveler (M): Graveler was taunting a group of schoolkids near Mt. Moon when Ryan decided to capture it. Just recently evolved from a Geodude, it was still in it's prime as a second-stage Pokemon and the capture was successful. Though not as easy going as his water types, Graveler has come through for Ryan on many occasions. He's the prankster of the team as well as the tank, battling with great force attacks and defending the group when it was needed. The boulder Pokemon is always good for a laugh.
