Bio

This is my second profile on here, and I have been Play-By-Post RPing for about nine years now. I do my best to see every RP to the end or at least let my character come to his/her own dramatic conclusion when I feel like signing off. Just like novel writing in real life, I tend to find myself on long hiatuses. Since writing is a great way to work out your brain, I try stay engaged as much as possible.

My favorite genres include futuristic worlds, mysteries, and super powers. Any mixture of these three elements will peek my interest.

Hey everyone!

It's been a lot of work, but I'm finished with the "Pokemon: New World 2.0" thread! I'm going to need your help now.

Step 1: Need everyone to make sure they have subscribed to that thread.

Step 2: Need everyone to proofread everything. I've changed a lot of stuff around. I need you all to look for grammatical errors and, most importantly, consistency. It's not uncommon when making big changes to change something in one place and not the other.

Step 3: Need my two Co-GMs to decide which one of you would like to focus on the Characters section (Character Approvals, Organization Approvals, Monitoring for Cheating) and which one will focus on the IC section (Location Approvals, Mission Approvals, Updating the Chapter Summaries) I'll monitor the OOC section (CP counting and item approvals).

Step 4: Need everyone to help decide what content to transfer over. Should some locations or organizations be left behind (especially those that none of us created)?

The core concepts have stayed the same, but things have changed for the sake of simplification. I've also added all the fun things that have been requested, as well as some new features. Please be kind with your criticism and give everything a chance; this was a headache at times, especially when accidentally breaking BBCodes. *AAARG*!!!

Thanks Everybody.

See you in the "Pokemon: New World 2.0" OOC chat!!!
I've been working on the new RP and off for the last few days. I should be done in the next couple hours! Hope it all works out!
@Weed

It's all good mate. However you wanna go about it is fine by me. Balthazar may be interested in hiring your services in the future. :)
@GreenGoat

Nice first post! Would you care to dedicate a post to the Slums? Whenever you get the chance of course.

You can model it after my "downtown" area.

Phew! I'm beat! I've been fine tuning the new RP all afternoon. It's coming along nicely. I'll continue tomorrow. Check out the work thus far here: roleplayerguild.com/topics/167727-pok…

Currently, I'm trimming the fat and re-imagining some aspects. My main focus is the 0th post of the OOC tab. I'm working from the top of the post down. I've made it as far as the manual hider "Organizations". Everything below that point is still subject to change. Hopefully it will all work out and be much easier to grasp once finished.

Organization



Name: League Prime

Type: Battle League
Sub-type: Classic Gym League

Mission Statement: We strive to make Pokemon trainers stronger through the art of battle.

Organization History:
Thomas Rikon was said to be a Pokemon master long ago. Rumor is that he caught over 300 different Pokemon including two of the three Legendary Titans. Some say that he never felt the sting of defeat. Others tell tale of rare occasions that he was defeated. One thing is known for sure, he was the best Pokemon trainer of his day.

Thomas became tired in his old age. Eventually, he no longer had the energy to go out battling every day like he did in his youth. Thomas began to feel bad for his vast collection of Pokemon as too many of them simply waited, never being brought out to play. Feeling this guilt, Thomas retired from battling all together. He released his entire collection of Pokemon, all except for his beloved Pidgeot, the first Pokemon that he ever caught. Pidgeot spends most of its time outside of it's Poke Ball, right by Thomas's side.

Shortly after Thomas retired, he started League Prime. He hoped that this league would help future generations of trainers discover the beauty of battle. Nothing warms his heart more than watching young trainers and their Pokemon grow as a team.


Membership Requirements: Only 'Skilled' trainers and above.

Pokemon: New World 2.0 (IC)



"Pokemon: New World" exists within an alternate reality completely separate from Ash Ketchum and his legacy. Companies such as "Silph Co." have long since been absorbed by the conglomerate known only as "Poke Corp." This company now oversees all aspects of Pokemon technology. They are a true monopoly in the field of Pokemon. Lucky for us, they are quite benevolent (or so it would seem).

Life is good here. Poverty has all but vanished from the face of the planet. That doesn't mean that money is no longer a factor. On the contrary, there are two types of currency still present in this world: Coins and Trainer Points. All basic housing, food, and other essentials are provided for free by the governments of the world, but in order to live a life beyond easy survival, you must choose one of two paths.

One, you can work a regular job and earn coins, which are used to purchase higher quality food, housing, and basically everything besides what you can buy with Trainer Points. Your second option is to register with "Poke Corp." as a trainer and receive your very own Pokedex. Trainer Points will be uploaded onto your Pokedex whenever they are earned. These points are used to purchase items from Poke Marts, such as Poke Balls, Battle Items, and more. It is also important to note that simply having a Pokedex will grant you entry into practically all "Poke Corp" facilities, such as the Poke Marts and Pokemon Centers.

So what's it like to be a trainer? Surely it's filled with peril at every turn, right? Not necessarily. While it is natural to come across abnormal situations in the Pokemon world, you do not have to choose a dangerous path. You can pursue beautiful Pokemon Contests. You can join a scientific research team. You can even wander around the world freely, sight-seeing. There is no reason to be battling at every turn. However, the thrill of battle can be quite exhilarating. For those that enjoy this thrill, you can hone your skills in battle leagues, defeating gym after gym. Or you can take on exciting missions to protect innocent civilians and Pokemon in need.

The most important thing to remember here is that you are free. You can choose whatever path you like, do whatever it is your heart desires... But be careful. There are those in this world who are not interested in playing nice.

New Location!!!


Name: Central City

Location Type: Developing
Pokemon Types: Normal, Flying, Bug, Grass, Water, Fire

Lore:
Central city is one of the oldest cities in all the land. Legend has it, this town is home to the first ever Pokemon master. It is also the home to one of the worlds best known retired trainers, Thomas Rikon. Now elderly, Thomas passes his time making a trinket known as the "Battle Amulet"; he does not sell this item, but instead, donates them to the local Poke Mart. The population of this city does not grow very quickly. It's more of a tourist stop than a place to actually settle down.

The cobblestone streets of Central City stretch out unto fields of beautiful flowers and farm land. These fields are alive with Grass type Pokemon. The city and its surrounding farm lands are always alive with Normal type Pokemon. There is a river that runs from the north, bringing in wonderful array of Water type Pokemon. Surrounding the city on both sides are volcanic mountains with thick forests at their base. The forests host a variety of Bug type Pokemon. On bright sunny days, Fire type Pokemon will emerge from mountain side caves to frolic in the light. Flying type Pokemon typically nest in mountain side trees.

It is rumored that the mythical Pokemon Shaymin protects this land, keeping it vibrant and beautiful. A hand full of people have claimed to have seen Shaymin, but many believe these sightings to be false. Still, the rumor mill works its magic, bringing in trainers from across the globe hoping for just a sight of this adorable Pokemon. If the Shaymin rumor wasn't enough, there have been a few confirmed Jirachi sightings at night.
