Hi there! To keep this part short, Scarlet and Violet have thrown me back into the Pokemon mood, so I'm seeking some long-term Pokemon RPs!

• Age: I'm 20+, and I'd like to ask that, regardless of whether or not we have any mature themes, my partners also be 20+ out of personal comfort.
• Timezone: I'm in PST, and I work during the day, so please understand that I can't always get quick replies out! I, of course, understand that you may have personal commitments too; I won't be pressuring you for replies!
• Post Length: An average, single-character reply from me will usually range between 5-8 paragraphs, with introductions being longer because of setup. That said, I'm not picky; I'm happy to match my partner's length as long as we both have enough to work off of from each other's replies!
• RP Platform: I prefer RPing over PMs here, email, or Google docs. Discord is a possibility too (please ask, especially if interested in the last point here)!
• 18+/Mature Themes: I am 100% okay with including these or not having any at all, whether those themes are sexual, violent, etc. That said, please be upfront and let me know from the beginning if you’re looking for straight smut. We need to discuss limits, and I’d rather go in knowing what to expect than suddenly get blindsided!
• RP Mechanics: I thought I’d add this here, but I’m not opposed to using dice/number randomizers if you’d like to make things more chance-based! I don’t have a big, fancy system set up, but I just mean if we want to play trainers, we can throw the dex numbers of Pokemon in the route we’re playing in into the RNG and see what catchable Pokemon pops out. This can apply to battling, fleeing, etc too!

Please feel free to offer up your own plot ideas if something comes to mind after reading these and/or if you have your own ideas!

Some ideas can, of course, be combined! If you want to do a horror RP with Pokemon gijinka and a side of romance, just ask!


*I typically can't play out a long-term romance RP without there being a driving force to the plot (i.e. trying to stop an antagonistic team/group), so please note that I while won't say no if you ask for a simple slice-of-life romance, my attention may dwindle without an overarching goal!

I'm happy to play both OC/OC pairs or OC/Canon pairs! Please note with the latter that if you're asking me to play a canon for you, I'd like to double so that we both have a pair. I will also ask for M/F pairings for myself, but I'm happy to play any sort of pair for you!

• We could bring in a group like the Aether Foundation, Team Rocket, or make our own. Perhaps one or both our characters have some sort of ties to the group (i.e. they have a family member/friend who they want to free from the group, they need to retrieve a stolen Pokemon, etc) that drives them to want to infiltrate or take the group down. Alternatively, maybe one of our characters is actually part of said group and becomes a mentor to the other character, not realizing that they are here to infiltrate the team.
• Similar to the above, I’m also all for having characters as a part of an “evil” group. How evil we go is up to you; I’m down for doing something more cute and comedy-based (like how the original Team Rocket is typically portrayed comedically in the show) or playing out something serious and dark (i.e. an unhealthily dependent relationship).
• A plot based off of Legends Arceus. If playing with canon characters, we can port the PLA canons into the present/future if you want to play out them having to grow adjusted to a new era! Alternatively, we can take canons who exist in the present era and port them into an older version of a region and create an overarching plot either with Arceus or a different legendary at the helm.
• Suggest something! c:

I love horror, and Pokemon truly has some incredible potential with all of its creepy little easter eggs and Pokedex entries.

• One (or multiple) of the legendaries are corrupted and their powers go haywire. The Pokemon that came to mind for me personally was Mesprit, as the thought of people turning into emotionless husks has creepy potential! I imagine this might play out in a survival-horror way, where the characters have to actively avoid Mesprit and find a cure. Perhaps other legendaries begin falling to the same corruption and things get more and more dire as Uxie begins to wipe memories, Azelf removes will, etc. Feel free to suggest other legendaries!
• I love ghost Pokemon and just how creepy some of the dex entries are, even though we don’t typically get to see their rumoured abilities/tendencies play out in canon. Maybe our characters end up wandering into a deserted town (something Silent Hill-esque comes to mind), and find themselves trapped in a place that is filled with ghost Pokemon that are actively terrorizing people. Maybe it wasn’t so much that they ended up there by accident, but something led them and others there due to them possessing a guilty conscience and needing to be punished in some way. Silent Hill and Fatal Frame are two of my favourite horror franchise, so something with a similar eerie atmosphere is definitely up my alley.
• Tying into the above, there could also be Pokemon/human experimentation gone wrong, and some sort of disturbing creature has been created and accidentally released. Perhaps we play two of the scientists who are now stuck in the foundation’s building as it’s been locked down and they need to find a way to survive as these creatures seek to hunt them down.
• Something Scarlet/Violet based! Please PM to discuss if interested if you finished the game!

This gets its own section because I just love Pokemon Gijinka for some reason. I’m not interested in RPing anthro Pokemon, but gijinkas have always been a fun, guilty pleasure.
*To clarify for those who many not know the difference, anthros are humanoid versions of the Pokemon (i.e a humanoid eevee that is furry and possesses its animal features like a snout), while Gijinka are typically mostly to fully human designs with inspiration from the Pokemon (i.e. a human that has clothing inspired by the eevee’s design and sometimes also has the ears/tail of eevee).

• Given all the Pokemon experimentation in canon, maybe someone who was trying to develop way to better allow humans and Pokemon to communicate created something that was a little too strong…and inevitably let the chemical leak into the water supply. The end result of this would be many Pokemon becoming human while retaining some of their original traits/powers. We could play trainers, a trainer and a gijinka, wild gijinkas, or so on!
• Fusions? Fusions. I know that this already exists as a concept in one of the Pokemon spinoff mangas, but I’m a little iffy. If you’re interested, we can discuss how this works!
