[quote=@Vec] wait, 20 years? :O i thought we kept the old 10 years thing from the previous rp. [/quote] ...it was 20 in the last one. It's been roughly 10 years since the pokemon started acting up. [quote=@Rune_Alchemist] ...This RP takes place roughly 20 years after the end of the games/anime. Obviously, things have changed quite a bit. Many of the older professors have already died of old age leaving new ones to take their place. Gary Oak took over Professor Oaks position, and is now the leading Professor in the entire World. Aside from that, the Gym Leaders have all retired, and the iconic Members of the Elite Four, have all retired from their days of pokemon training and battling as well, leaving the younger generation to further themselves and allow a new set of trainers to rise to power. However, around 10 years ago, wild pokemon suddenly started getting more and more aggressive. It was subtle at first, with wild pokemon going into human towns and causing minor mischief. Usually stealing food here and there, or possibly just playing a harmless prank or two if that was in their nature. However, soon it got to the point where the wild pokemon were attacking trainers in broad daylight. Even new trainers, who were overwhelmed quite easily. This resulted in quite a few numbers of accidents, that led to the passing of a law that increased the age of trainers to sixteen, and a provision that all trainers must travel in pairs.
