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.

Did not mean to overstep, I do apologize, I was only trying to give an example πŸ˜„πŸ˜„


Don't worry about it. It's not an issue.

BTW, there are a LOT of Pokemon. lol
I've been placing them all day long, and so far I've only placed 43% of them.
My only question is would I be allowed to have him have his team and would he be out in the world yet?


Sort like Liz, I think he wants to wait for us to give character development before we just about ignore it catching pokemon lol, and I think he wants you to write for the testing part like I an doing for Circe


I think Zarkun is reffering ONLY to his Pokemon universe character. He knows that his Earth world character has to go through the test first.

To answer your question directly, yes. Jason can venture the world with his Pokemon already, but his Pokeballs won't work anymore. So his Pokemon will have to be walking with him. I didn't make Cerces give up Liz's Pokemon; that was all her own doing.

But if he is found wandering the streets of some city, he's likely to be noticed, and they would surely try to recruit him. Also remember, he has no Earth money to start off with and speaks another language.

Finally, you didn't mention catching Pokemon, but he obviously can't do that without Pokeballs anyways.

So in short, if he wants to try and travel the world on his own, it won't be easy. But it's up to you.
@LuckyBlackCat
Are you still on board?
Sorry, it’s been a week. Been dealing with things, but I am here to state that my presence is still here.


Cool beans. Let me know if you have any questions.
@Zarkun
Awesome! I've added your character to the 0th IC post. You may now post IC whenever you like. You can start at any point in the timeline. Meaning, you could start us as far back as the day all the stuff went down on New Years, or you can start off already taking the exams (or anywhere in between). Your character would be going to an exam site in San Fransisco that is much the same as the one in Washington D.C.

And Jason can start anywhere in the world.
Loading Arc...

..."Yes, hello professor!! Primus Champin Liz speaking, please accuse, my poor English. I was curus as to the therees to how this hapen?? And when we catch all the Pokemon, what will becom of them?? I have looked in this planet, and they constanly fight each udder. The land we are in now, no ofens to those that have givin us a place to stay, the pepoll don't even trus own gufernmen. How can we, and what effert is bing made to get us ome??" She said as best she could.

Professor Juniper listened to Liz's question with a soft smile. "Those are some good questions indeed. Let's see, as for how this happened... we don't know... As an expert in Pokemon origins, my focus is on legendary Pokemon such as Arceus, as well as Palkia and Dialga. Theoreticly, those three Pokemon have the ability to make this all happen. But there are many theories floating around, some having nothing to do with Pokemon, and some hybrid theories involving both Pokemon and phenomenon from this world. Once we figure this mystery out, we will hopefully be able to figure out how to return home.

Now to the other side of your question, the care of Pokemon and trustworthyness of this planet's people. These are understandable concerns, but we are all in the same situation. So in order to figure this all out, we must work together in good faith. As to what will happen to Pokemon after they are caught... this is still being disscussed. Mainly, we're waiting to find out how long we'll be on this planet. If it's short term, we'll just keep the Pokemon in suspended animation inside their Pokeball's till we can figure out how to go home. If we can't find a way home in the next year or so, we'll start moving Pokemon to regions in this world, where they can live peacefully in habitats that support their needs.

I'm terribly sorry, but that is all we know at this point. Are there any other questions?"
By the end of her answer, whispers had already started circulating the room.

A short pause and then she finished. "Okay then. I'm sure everyone is excited to be reunited with their Pokemon. On the way out of the room you will be given new Pokeballs, enough to hold whatever Pokemon came with you. You'll also be given what is called a "credit card". You will be able to use it to buy food at restraunts, new clothes, or whatever you like. For the rest of the month, you are all free to do whatever you like in this city. We'll meet again in what they call April to begin working with the new trainer canidates from this world."

With that, the room was dismissed. Professor Juniper watched with a smile as everyone eagerly filed out of the room, grabbing their Pokeballs and credit card on the way.




...Other people where already turning in her test, but rushing to get done would do her no good. With just a few minutes left Circe walked up and turned it in, and waited to be led to the practical exam, wondering when she would meet her first pokemon.

The cold air greeted Circe and the 99 others as they all walked outside. This was most defininately a military training complex. Before her stood a field about the size of a football field. Scattered about were numerous obstical runs, and around it all was a running track.

This part of her exam was explained to her by a sturdy looking man wearing a plain grey sweatsuit. He explained with all the authority of a drill sergeant... Each person would run the obstacle course. Along the way, they would have to make regular stops at spots where they would attempt to tie knots, pitch tents, start a fire, and demonstrate other survival techniques. Scattered across the course were transplanted trees, flowers, and bushes from all over the world. At the end of the course, an examiner with a clipboard would approach each person to see if they could identify any of the plants they passed.

They would run the course in groups of ten, and it would take everyone an estimated hour and a half to finish it all. When finished, they would break for lunch and then continue with the last part of the exams.

If you need help understanding what Liz was saying lmk, I tried to keep the broken English readable lol


It was easy enough to understand. And your post as a whole was great. I'm just sleepy now, so I'll respond tomorrow.
@Zarkun
Forest (AKA: Jedi) is another very well written character. Please make the adjustments mentioned in my previous post, and then you can post these characters into the Characters section.
...Here's my Pokemon character. Thoughts?


Jason is a very well written character, and I love the descriptions on his party Pokemon. However, I would like for you to remove their abilities, their levels, and their moves.

I will be keeping track of level growth. They will grow one level anytime you use them in battle (win or loose). There will be other ways to gain levels, but that's the main way.

As for moves, you can switch them up freely from battle to battle, so there is no need to lock them down in your character sheet. Also your Pokemon can use any/only moves they could learn through leveling up (Using the Gen 7 list). Cross reference their Bulbapedia page before entering a battle to make sure you only use moves they could actualy know given their level. For instance, Absol can't use Razor Wind (He's forgotten the move due to being leveled down.), Hone Claws (He can't learn Hone Claws at all given Gen 7 requirement), and Shadow Claw (a move he can only learn through TM). We will bring TMs into this RP, but not right away (Though, I already know how to do this).

As for abilities, surprisingly, you already did right by not giving any of your Pokemon hidden abilities. But again, you don't need to tie them down to one ability, especially for Pokemon like Absol who have two abilities to choose from. You can change their ability before any battle, so long as it's not a hidden ability. We will be unlocking hidden abilities, but not right away (just like TMs).

I know I'm being picky, but it makes things easier for me and makes perfect sense in my head. I hope you don't take any offense or feel upset. Hopefully you just see this as a challange to level up your Pokemon and learn more moves.

But yeah, I love your character and can't wait to see your human character too!

:)
So as a natural Idahoan, I feel I should inform you that roughly the southern half is desert. Up north is mountains and lakes. Don't know if that'll affect things much map wise, but I feel it's important to inform you. The area I live in is high desert. Just google Fruitland, Idaho.


I understand that. The list I showed you was for a location slightly north and included all areas within 10 Degrees latitude and longitude. When we start actually playing the game, I won't be including EVERY Pokemon within the range. I will only pick Pokemon that would make sense given the envirnment.

For example, this would be a more accurate description of what you could find (give or take about 50 mile radius)...

  • Oddish [Common: In fields and anywhere with light vegitation.]
  • Natu [Common: In elevated areas and in trees]
  • Maril [Common: Floating up and down nearby rivers]
  • Solrock [Common: During the daytime and away from people]
  • Maractus [Common: In areas of very little vegitation]
  • Cutiefly [Common: In crop feilds and around trees]
  • Togedemaru [Common: In urban and suburban areas]
