[@Dusksong] Just wondering, with the site pretty much ready, how many of the rules for this have changed? I know we're using the new system for creating content, but is anything else different?

Becoming an Expert rank trainer, for example. Do we still have to have every type of Pokemon, or is it enough to have 30 Pokemon, 10 tier 3 Pokemon, and be part of an organisation? As you'll have noticed, my characters tend to be somewhat specialised, and yeah they could get one of each type, but going with themes means repeat types are kind of inevitable.

Also, is the battle system the same (is Showdown now an option)? And can contests now be a thing?

These are all good questions for this RP. But to clarify, just in case, the showdown battle is only an option if the battle is going to be a friendly match where both side can agree OOC and privately who would win. There should be no other rewards earned from non Showdown battles, other than all parties gaining CP for posting and a level up for Pokemon. I hope that was clear. As far as how that relates to this RP, I'll leave that up to Dusksong. 

Thanks!
