Bootcamp, never did this one word have so many different meanings: from their time in the harsh Russian tundra where the word was true to its most classical connotation, to their culturally educational and slightly luxurious stay in France. But the changes didn't end there. Each new week of "bootcamp" was vastly different from the one before it... with completely different Pokemon to see as well...

[indent][b]Egypt (May 18th - May 24th)[/b]: a hot place any time of the year, but damn near unbearable in the summer months (i.e. during the time they spent there). Here they learned how to prepare for travel in hot desert conditions. They also found that areas with ancient significance (such as the pyramids and graveyards) were great places to find unique Pokemon...

[/hider]

[b]Amazonas (May 25th - May 31st)[/b]: a dangerously beautiful tropical rain forest. Here they learned how to protect themselves in dense forested environments with vast arrays of dangerous animals, Pokemon and regular animals alike. They also learned that the vast majority of Pokemon species live in forested environments. 
[hider=Pokemon Near HQ-5 (Amazonas)]

[/hider]

[b]Colorado (June 1st - June 7th)[/b]: a mountain region with great diversity. Here our trainers practice their hiking and climbing skills, and occasionally drive out to the flat lands. And as always, they get a good feel for what kinds of Pokemon to expect from these terrains.

[/hider]

[b]Hawaii (June 8th - June 14th)[/b]: an island paradise with unique wildlife, including Pokemon. Here trainers learn about the unique lifestyles that arise from island living. It is also apparent that areas that have generations based on them, such as the Alolan region, tend to favor Pokemon from those generations.

[b]Japan (June 15th - June 21st)[/b]: a land rich with tradition and with an inexplicable connection to the Pokemon world. Here, trainers find many unique Pokemon as well as classical Pokemon. It is notable that no other region on the world has as many different Pokemon species per square mile/kilometer. 
[hider=Pokemon Near HQ-1 (Japan)]

Throughout all their travels, our trainers not only explore wildernesses and hunt Pokemon. They must also face society. The more they travel, the clearer it becomes: many different schools of thought are dividing the world. [b]One[/b], there are those that fully support our trainers and will help in any way possible. [b]Two[/b], there are an equal amount of others that doubt the system, that don't trust trainers. [b]Three[/b], there are extremists that feel Pokemon are a threat and should be killed, not captured. [b]Four[/b], there are opposing extremists who believe Pokemon should be left alone in the wild, that nature should take its course without any interference. [b]Five[/b], there are those that, despite not being selected to be trainers, are capturing Pokemon "the old fashioned way"... Online communities and in-person rallies/meet-ups are becoming common place. Tensions are higher than ever. 

([b]Closing Notes[/b]: [i]Okay everyone, I am going to let you all freely progress through the rest of the bootcamp phase using the information above. All you need to do is tag me whenever you want to encounter a Pokemon or battle an NPC, like you've already been doing. Also, feel free to battle each other, whenever you like. If it's a League battle, make sure I know so that I can change points/rankings accordingly.

In order to make it so that you don't just always encounter rare Pokemon, I'm going to say this. You can only encounter a Rare Pokemon after encountering at least [b]two[/b] common Pokemon since your last Rare encounter.

Of course, I'll keep replying to posts, but don't expect any more [color=fff79a]"Plot Moving" Posts[/color] until you all decide to end the bootcamp phase. That doesn't mean there absolutely WON'T be any [color=fff79a]"Plot Moving" Posts[/color]; it just means... probably not.[/i])
