[OOC] Pokemon: Coming of Age

[CaptainSully]

@pkkenI like it. Also I'm sure you know but just in case, held items have only a cosmetic effect when battling

[CaptainSully]

@Wolpertingers@King Cosmos@Bigg Slamm@pkken, you are all accepted so feel free to transfer your CS' over whenever you're ready. You can choose to use the hiders or not once on the character page it doesn't matter. I'm going to creating thumbnails to jump to your CS in the 0th post.

@TheIrishJJ You are accepted I just need your dibs list.

@Archmage MC Get that picture chosen and then accepted.

@Jerkchicken Unfortunately Magikarp wouldn't be able to start with bounce because it is a move tutor move and not something it learns as standard. If you can change that, accepted.

@clanjos Sadly I am not going to be able to accept your character as it stands as he is still WIP. The personality isn't filled in, you have a half finished sentence for why they like B-movies(would be better with nothing that half written) and you have picked infestation, venoshock and protect as moves for Trubbish even though they are all TM moves and not moves he learns up to level 20. If you can make these changes prior to the closing date Sunday then I will look it over again.

[Jerkchicken]

Changed it

[clanjos]

@CaptainSully
I apologize, stuff's been busy at home with the local shootings.

As for the TM moves, I figured that balanced out with certain people starting off with stuff that becomes Pseudolegends.

[CaptainSully]

@Jerkchicken Accepted, feel free to transfer to the character tab.

@clanjos I'm sorry to hear that you're that close to something so dangerous, hope you and your family are ok. Nobody has taken a starter that becomes a pseudo-legend and everyone is allowed one on their dibs list. If people choose to take or not to take one, that is that entirely up to them. The character idea is unique so I would like to see how they play out, it just means adjusting the moveset and finishing the CS off.

[CaptainSully]

REMINDER! Less than 11 hours till applications close! Incomplete applications will not be accepted after this point!

Malie

Bio

Name
Malie Makana

Age
18

Height And Weight
~5'0", Secret

Gender
Girl

Hometown
Hau'oli City

Sexuality
Bedsexual

Personality
Malie is prodigiously lazy and shuns labor like a vampire shuns sunlight. Her dedication to sloth is so refined that she will work with furious precision and intensity in order to ensure nothing infringes on her naptime. She dislikes battling and always puts forth an absolute minimum of effort in her tactics, ascribing to an easygoing philosophy that doesn't put emphasis on winning as much as minimizing damage.

Likes
-Naps: There's nothing like a good three hour nap to cool off after a long intense day of doing nothing, and Malie's pokemon agree.
-Regional foods: Poffins, Malasada, and the elusive Rage Candy Bar are all regular favorites; it's rare she's seen without something to snack on.
-Dancing: Malie is trained in over twenty styles of dance including, but not limited to: The tango, the hula, and the truffle shuffle.

Dislikes
-General effort: Getting out of bed is just so intense.
-Cold climates: Because Malie's cold-weather wardrobe isn't comfy enough to ensure maximum naptime.
-Alarm clocks: Anything that prevents Malie from sleeping her full fourteen hours is satan incarnate.

History
Malie is a member of one of Akala Island's most established families, reputed for their skill in pokemon battling and generally being pillars of the community. When she started her trial at 11 years old, as is tradition in her home region of Alola, people thought it'd be natural that she would inherit the Captain position from her cousin, who was himself the youngest of his generation at the time. Malie, however, had other plans.

Captains only retain their rank until the age of twenty, so she could dodge it by simply taking an obnoxiously long time to complete her trial. Sadly for Malie, she proved a bit too skilled and finished her trial ahead of schedule entirely by accident. In a blind panic, she tried loaning out her team to friends in hopes of disqualifying herself from the position, but it didn't take. All seemed lost when she recieved a notification from the OI project that her ballot had been drawn, granting her the chance to have a second pokemon journey with a bunch of societal rejects who had never managed to have their own prior to now. She set to packing her bags immediately, with one thought on her mind:

If I stall this vacation out to two years, I won't have to pull Captain duty!

Trainer Bio

Experience
Has run the gamut as far as the Alolan trials are concerned. Had a full team, but they're all tied up at the moment overseas.

Favorite Pokemon Types
Psychic, Normal

Reason For Adventuring
Malie was slated to take over her cousin's job as captain when she got a letter informing her that she had been selected for the OI Project. In hopes of ducking her duties by aging out, she jumped at the chance for a free vacation.

Updated Eddy's sheet.

[CaptainSully]

@Menhir Most of your CS looks good, definitely can see a few laughs with the character. Only issue is Slowpoke as starter. Needs to be a Pokemon that evolves twice. I know it has two evolution options but it can only evolve once. If you can sort that then accepted.

@clanjos CS is complete which is fine but you have the same problem as Menhir. Get that done and then I'll be able to accept your CS.

[CaptainSully]

The hider below contains the dibs list. The names were ordered thanks to the wonderful website random.org to decide priority. As such it didn't matter all that much. Two people need to change Pokemon, one because of a doubler and another because they've chosen someones starter. If those people could PM their changes then i'll edit the list and put it into the 0th post.

Also @Archmage MC send me the rest of yours whenever you're ready.

IC will be up today!

@CaptainSully
You didn't say anything about two-stage starters being restricted in the rules, though? Just that three-stages were automatically acceptable.
Well, anyway, just switch Slakoth out for Slowpoke on my dibs list and we should be fine, friend.

@Menhir

Must have been the way I had written it but it was intended to be that way, either way you're accepted.

[King Cosmos]

@CaptainSully I already mentioned this in the discord, but I'll replace Togekiss with Talonflame.

[Archmage MC]

I'd like to claim Mimkyu since that hasn't been claimed xD.

[CaptainSully]

So IC is up but could everyone who hasn't joined the Discord do so please?

[clanjos]

Right, I guess take Mr. Mime off the list and switch it with Porygon.

[CaptainSully]

@TheIrishJJ Can you move your CS over to the IC when you get two minutes please?

[pkken]

We got ourselves a rivalry ladies and gentlemen.
