History: Anything more than one paragraph ought to suffice.

Battles:(the results anyway) should be handled via Showdown. Of course there are exceptions to this rule (encounters that couldn't qualify as a battle, things we couldn't simulate in Showdown, opponents that simply can't be beaten, if the two parties agree that a simulated battle isn't necessary IE: if the parties agree on a draw or the fight gets interrupted, or of course if the people involved don't want to use Showdown, I'm not going to enforce something like that if people absolutely can't/don't want to.)
Gym battles will be handled by me or one of the Co-GMs (depending on who's availiable)
Avoid Metaposting whenever possible. Minor metaposting like speeding up travel (if you even consider it as such) and such in some situations might be needed.
Called Pokemon: These Pokemon have been called by other posters, keep in mind that this doesn't exactly mean you cannot have them. It only means that these posters are going to get these Pokemon at some point. If some kind of conflict comes up about said Pokemon, the first to claim will likely take priority.
Currently called Pokemon: Gardevoir(w/mega), Greninja, Sableye, Whimsicott, Quagsire, Weavile, Magmortar, Hawlucha, Skarmory, Tyranitar(w/mega), Tauros, Dragalge, Nidoking, Torterra, Probopass, Sceptile, Chansey, Pyroar, Heliolisk, Jolteon, Meowstic, Arcanine, Blaziken, Breloom, Gothitelle, Starmie, Chandelure, Clefable, Sigilyph, Bronzong, Lopunny(w/mega), Altaria, Umbreon , Gengar, Kingdra, Magnezone.

14. Kraterdesh Ghost Type Gym, Pokemon Center, Pokemart
15. Denamore Pokemon League
The largest and most elegant city in all of Kosei, concealed from the cold air by a massive dome at the peak of the mountain. The city contains the region's ice type gym and one of the two department stores. Many come to Kosei just to visit Ponderous. The gym leader Freiya is also the anchor for Kosei's news program.
2. Gillsenville Fighting Type Gym, Pokemon Center, Pokemart.
The famous Gillsen School of Martial Arts was built half way up the mountain. The rest of the town simply sprung up around it. Because of its location, many stop in Gillsenville on their way to Ponderous. The gym leader and headmaster of the school, a very proud man named Gillsen, trains almost nonstop to keep himself and his fighting Pokemon in top shape.
3. Yenamoth Dark Type Gym, Pokemon Center
Yenamoth Is a village that - until the recent creation of Clemantine to the South - prided itself on being difficult to find. The gym leader, Dunstan, claims to be a ninja and tries to split his time between training and battling challengers. His disdain for his younger sister only grew when she left and founded a fairy type gym just to spite him. Now with the village's cover blown he's been dealing with more challengers than ever.
4. Clemantine Fairy Type Gym, Pokemart
Clemantine is a small village founded by the current gym leader in response to her older brother becoming Yenamoth's gym leader. The style of the village is quite outlandish (one might call it a complete opposite of Yenomoth's) style, many dressing in pink and a strong focus on looking "cute".
5. Fratmenson Fire Type Gym, Pokemon Center, Pokemart
A historic village built at the foot of the only known volcano in the whole region. The gym leader, a man who simply calls himself the Phoenix, splits his time between battling and his famous firebreathing act.
6. Mesalon Normal Type Gym, Pokemon Center, Pokemart
A large peaceful city at the top of a mesa founded around a monastery. The head monk, Lan Sohai, also happens to be the gym leader.
7. Trimdale Bug Type Gym, Pokemon Center, Pokemart
A city in the middle of a dense forest, formed around the bug type gym. The gym leader didn't exactly intend for the city to be built - in fact she complains that they've been scaring away the bugs, and the influx of challengers it brought has cut down on her anime binge watching.
8. Windshire Pokemon Lab, Flying Gym, Pokemart
Home of professor Bonsai's Pokemon lab and the flying type gym. The town's windmills power Windshire, Mesalon, and Vareena. The town is also the way many trainers enter Kosei, with both the airport and the port being both quite close by.
9. Vareena Grass Type Gym, Pokemon Center
A small village and the home of the grass type gym.
10. Oldport Water/Poison Type Gym, Pokemon Center, Pokemart
A polluted slum of a town that was once a bustling trading post. Now the most important thing it houses is a waste treatment plant that doubles as a water and poison type gym. The man who founded the plant left it to his two sons who decided that a Pokemon gym could easily be used to bring some traffic back to the crumbling town.
11. Naran Pokemon Center, Pokemart
A town founded as a rest stop between the desert and the forest. Once small and peaceful, recent traffic has caused this town to grow exponentially.
12. Valencia Ground type gym, Pokemon Center, Pokemart
In the heart of the desert, Valencia stands out as a massive city in an oasis. The gym leader, Askon, discovered the oasis and immediately opened his gym in order to harbor weary travelers.
13. Qualeen Electric Type Gym/Institute of Technology, Pokemon Center, Pokemart
The second largest city in Kosei, their famous institute of technology has attracted a lot of attention recently with the invention of what some are calling a mass capture device, a device that can project a wide ray capable of capturing multiple pokemon at once. This invention has brought much in the means of ethical discussion. The inventor that discovered this also happens to run the electric type gym out of the institute.
14. Kraterdesh Ghost Type Gym, Pokemon Center, Pokemart
Inside a massive crater, the inhabitants have simply built onto the remnants of homes destroyed by the very catastrophic impact that created the crater. The gym leader Eria is a historian studying what could done so much damage.
15. Denamore Pokemon League

The Kosei Region: A vast region that has essentially been torn apart and put back together on multiple occasions by a mixture of cataclysmic natural disasters and terrible power struggles before finally settling only decades ago. It is said that the vast wasteland in eastern Kosei was once a vast forest with many towns and settlements scattered throughout, now only three towns and the once famous Treasure Park exist within the empty wastes.
Team Noble: A team shrouded in rumor as mysterious tournaments are held all around the region bearing their seal. Strangely enough, the trainers that win are often found days after the tournaments with nothing taken, their pokemon in perfect shape and seemingly no memory of anything that happened after they won. Some scholars speculate that the group's emblem is quite similar to that of a group of scientists that tried to bring life back to the vast wasteland in the east.
