*REMINDER: Only 2 shiny pokemon per team until further notice, choose wisely! XD

That settles people only running into rare Pokemon lol

Anywho, I think the RP is closer towards the anime in the sense of finding and capturing Pokemon (because who wants to write several paragraphs about walking though tall grass and not finding anything).

In the anime, if you wanted to find a specific Pokemon, just wander around the wilderness and keep your eyes peeled; bring some binoculars and befriend it!

I think that would entail better story lines of really becoming friends with Pokemon on your journey instead of beating it up and throwing a Pokeball at it while watching the ball shake 3 times.

Does that make sense? Its late ugh. XD
