Hello again everyone, 

I've been trying my hardest to think up a new Pokemon RP, but one that would require minimal upkeep. Finally, I think I've found the answer!

In this RP, you would all play the part of a Master Class Pokemon trainer. Maybe they won a league, or maybe they are well renowned for some other reason. Whatever the case, they are a force to be reckoned with. They have been invited to participate in a new Pokemon League in a new region. 

They are allowed to bring Six Pokemon with them, but there are a few caveats. [b]First[/b], they may only have one Legendary Pokemon on their team (if any). [b]Second[/b], they may only have one [url=https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Pseudo-legendary_Pok%C3%A9mon]Pseudo-Legendary[/url] OR one Mythical Pokemon on their team (if any). [b]Third[/b], they cannot have two of the same Pokemon on their team, and the same Pokemon species cannot be chosen by [b]more than[/b] two trainers. [b]Fourth[/b], and most importantly, the grand total of all their Pokemon's base stats must not exceed [b]3,000[/b] (you can look this up on any Pokemon's bulbapedia page). These requirements should help ensure that teams are diverse. 

Just like World Cup Soccer, there are three main stages to this League's challenge. [b]First,[/b] there are the qualifying rounds, where the 32 Pokemon masters must face off against other trainers to gather 'qualification points'; 16 trainers will make it out of this round. [b]Second[/b], there are the group stages; each group will have four trainers, and only two trainers from each group will proceed. [b]Third[/b], the remaining 8 will participate in a knock out style tournament. 

Also, between each stage, you may venture around the region and collect more Pokemon, to add to your reserves. This is useful if you weren't able to start off with a Pokemon due to too many others having registered the same one. Also, stages two and three of the tournament will allow Pokemon parties totaling up to [b]3250[/b] and [b]3500[/b] respectively. 

And finally, you may be thinking, [i]"32 trainers is a lot of users. Shouldn't that number be less?"[/i]. Well, just because we start off with 32 trainers, doesn't mean we need to have 32 actual players. I will allow everyone to register one main character (who's Pokemon will always be at level 100) and multiple side characters (who's Pokemon will always be at level 90). And I myself will have side characters (who's Pokemon will always be at level 90). This will ensure that our main characters/protagonists have an advantage. At the same time though, this does not mean battling a side character is a guaranteed win; you'll have to stay on your game. If you wish to battle one of your own side characters, you can, but I have to control them in Pokemon Showdown. 

Oh yeah! I almost forgot! Pokemon battles in this RP will be settled in [url=https://pokemonshowdown.com/]Pokemon Showdown[/url]. We will RP the beginning of the battle here (till participants are ready). Then the participants will go to Pokemon Showdown to battle their Pokemon for an actual result. And finally, participants will return to the RP to dramatize the ending of the battle according to the final result.  

[b]It would be nice if a large number of people were interested in this RP, somewhere between four and sixteen, BUT I will move forward with a minimum of three interested individuals. [/b]

[b][color=f9ad81]NOTE:[/color][/b] There will also be an exciting story line behind this all, a mystery to be solved if you will, but I'd rather not focus on that for right now. For right now, I want to know who all is interested in the league, as it is integral to the plot. 

[b]Any questions? Concerns? Suggestions?[/b]
