Thread requirements...

Ok, so the thread requirements are mostly reasonable. But one part concerns me: The story requirements.

Not all games have stories. Ever heard of Tetris or Bejeweled? Am I not allowed to post a game simply because it doesn't have a story that can fill three paragraphs, let alone have any story at all?

I understand the requirement is probably in place as a barrier to help try and keep some sort of quality level, given that most of the games posted here are Pokemon fangames which are expected to have a story which can at least be stretched to three paragraphs. Anyone can fire up RPG Maker, whip up some screenshots and post about their super-awesome Pokemon ThunderYellow version they've been working hard on for the past hour.

But I think the requirement is unfair to individuals wanting to create a game without a story. And also I think the requirement is not very effective at ensuring only quality games get posted here, no offense to anyone working on one of the many Pokemon fangames in development.

Since this forum is mainly for Pokemon fan games, that rule stands fine. As even a storyline closely following the official games will pass.

Remember all threads posted in the drawing board or showcase are moderated and Avatar and I look over them and make our own judgement.
If a game looks like it will progress, I generally will allow a thread through if it's missing a few bits.

If your making a game like Tetris or Bejewled well then we make exceptions for what should be in your first post.

Ok, thanks for clarifying.
