Brief Background

The greatest journey of your young lives takes place now. Since the days of Ash Ketchum, Pallet Town has grown and thrived as a hot bed for tourists and those wanting to become Pokemon trainers. The late, great Professor Oak's work has spawned what is effectively a starting point for any prospective trainer. People travel from all over Kanto and further to claim their first Pokemon from the Oak Institute, setting out on their journey's to try to become the greatest trainer to have lived. This will be where your story begins. As a group you will travel all over Kanto facing other trainers and gym leaders with the end goal of entering the Kanto Regional Tournament. All the while, something strange is going on in the region and you will need to help solve it or risk great devastation plaguing the land.

Key Points

-Looking for between 1 and 3 players.
-There will be "dibs" on Pokemon to avoid multiples, it will be done in a fair way to ensure that people don't miss out on every one they want.
-No Legendaries/Mythic.
-Pokemon from all games will be able to be caught in the Kanto region (will be explained in OOC if this gets that far).
-Battles vs generic NPC's will be written.
-PvP, Gym Battles and eventually the Tournament will take place using Showdown. I will play the part of Gym Leaders. Ideally after the battles you guys can do write ups to reflect them. I'd suggest taking a look now and just getting a feel for how it all works. There will be rules to how your Pokemon can be set up seeing as you enter all stats etc yourself, but that will be covered in OOC.

Player Expectations

-As said above i'm looking for at most 3 people, so this will be done on a first come first serve basis using post order on this thread.
-Usual rules will apply such as god modding etc.
-I'm a flexible GM, if I do something you don't like then feel free to PM me to discuss it.
-I'm not asking for people to post daily but i'd like to see people posting once or twice a week. If you can't commit to that then please don't register your interest as it will not be fair on the other players.
-I would prefer European or East Coast US players purely from a functionality standpoint in terms of using Showdown. It's not a restriction but if you're any more than 5/6 hours either side of GMT there'll be more emphasis on you to accomodate to me when it comes to Gym Battles etc.

Closing Points

I am off work this week so if people are quick we could look at realistically getting this going by Sunday.

I love the enthusiasm

There'll probably be restrictions (not finalised yet) to help those who are not necessarilly into the competitive side of the Pokemon games. So for example i'm probably going to restrict pokemon to moves that they learn through levelling only. So for example no egg moves. There will be options for TM's throughout the game but they will be restricted to very small quantities. I'm also on the fence about held items.

Just want people to be able to pick their favourites without worrying about getting caned by potential pro's

Sounds pretty swell to me. Main downside is that I am in Mountain time (UTC-7), though I have a super open and flexible schedule.

Well seeing as i've got this much interest in the space of 2 hours, i'll have more time to get the OOC up. I'd expect Thursday evening at the very latest. Might be worth to start considering what you want your main party to be.

Dibs will work in this way:

-Each person picks 6 pokemon to have dibs on
-Each will have a number 1 to 6 (1 representing most wanted and 6 least)
-If nobody wants one on your list then great
-If two people want the same then the one with lowest number will get
-If both are drawn it will come to whoever has had to make the most adjustments and if still drawn, first come first served

How you get your Pokemon:

-Once your list of six has been confirmed, you must pick one to be your starter (it doesn't need to a starter in line with the games, but must have 2 evolutions as all game starters have had previously)
-The rest can be caught traditionally, swapped with random NPC's or any other unique way that you can think of (other than theft).

Other Notes:

-You are not limited to the six on your dibs list, it is simply that they are guarenteed to be yours.
-No duplicates amongst the group of players, so no two players could have a Pidgey. Only exception being Eevee although it must be made clear which evolution will be taken. Given the number of Pokemon i'd just rather not see the same spammed over and over.

Still, looks like this'll be a pretty unique and fun RP :D Looking forward to it!

Not gunna lie, my strategy will most likely be to just find a completely random pokemon team generator and have it select six random non-legendaries and that's what I'll prolly go with. Makes things a lot more interesting.

Ended up using this and it was surprisingly not bad. I was 100% convinced it would give me a team of nothing Jinx six times over (and I'm pretty sure it doesn't even repeat Pokemon).

Right so the teams are in:

@Sketcher

1) Torchic
2) Pawniard
3) Larvitar
4) Snivy
5) Mimikyu
6) Scyther

@0 Azzy 0

1) Duskull
2) Zorua
3) Tyrunt
4) Ponyta
5) Staryu
6) Golett

@Alias

1) Ursaring
2) Piplup
3) Hitmonchan
4) Duskull
5) Lairon
6) Fletchinder

Unfortunately Alias you'll need to switch out Duskull, on the plus side you now know exactly what is available

And here is mine:

1. Noibat
2. Axew
3. Froakie
4. Gastly
5. Gible
6. Growlithe

I had Snivy and Torchic but unfortunatley Sketcher picked them and it wouldn't be fair of me as GM to make him repick

I like how we have a feel of two competitive trainers and two casual trainers. XD
