The Basics
This is not your average pokémon roleplay. I've taken a few elements that you won't normally see in a pokémon anime or video game. If you're a fan, I'm not sure if this will make your experience an enjoyable one or a horrible one. The elements I've added to this roleplay is unnatural pokémon, fire-type grass pokemon, you know? Things that just wouldn't be found in nature. There's something that I've included which is "splicing" or "fusing" pokémon, but that'll be available later on. If this carries on long enough, I'll reward you with that option.
This could turn into a mature roleplay, or there is already mature elements involved. You're probably wondering how could something so innocent like pokémon turn into a mature rating. I'm simply saying that I'm allowing anything mature to go in this roleplay. Now because I have said that, I feel I should state this: Just because you can kill other pokemon and pokemon trainers does not justify murdering something in your first few posts.
Now, this region has been created by me, the town and gyms and so on are my idea as well. As far as the region goes, it is connected to Kanto and Johto, so the pokémon that are there can more of less be found here, but some pokémon from Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, and Kalos can be found here as well. There are also some altered pokémon who escaped from Revolution that may be caught. What is Pokémon?
*Lesson 1*
In this section, I will give you a general idea of what Pokémon is all about. The first major step is pronouncing the word "é" correctly. It is pronounced]"Poe-cae-mon" That shouldn't be that difficult. Now pokemon is widely seen as a cutesy and innocent topic. But this roleplay allows mature elements.
*Lesson 2*
This world that we live in is very different from reality. In this world, there are many creatures which are similar to animals in the reality world. These creatures are called Pokémon. A basic explanation would be that these animals are replaced by these pokémon, animals who have super powers. These pokémon are almost everywhere in sight. Pokémon come in many different shapes and sizes, and all of them have different names. For example, Psyduck is a pokémon. Logically, the Pokemon grow stronger, and when they do grow, it’s called evolving. For example, when Psyduck grows, it will evolve into a stronger pokémon called Golduck. There are over 500 different pokémon, each very unique in its way.
*Lesson 3*
There's a class in the Pokémon World called "Pokémon Trainers". Pokemon trainers start out with just one Pokémon. In this roleplay, players will decide between one to three pokémon to start with.
These trainers will later get more Pokémon in the wild. To get more Pokémon, these trainers must capture them with a thing called a "Pokéb Ball". A Poké Ball is just a round shaped ball. When a Poké Ball is thrown at a wild Pokémon, the creature will shrink into a small size and will magically enter the ball. Once entered, the little rascal might be unwilling to be captured. So the pokémon will attempt to fight out its way out of the ball. To prevent this from happening, the trainer uses his/her own creatures to battle/fight the wild Pokémon. Once the other Pokémon is weak, the trainer then uses a Poké Ball to capture it. Since the Pokemon is too weak to free itself from the Poké Ball, capturing odds is increased. Once a Pokémon is captured, the trainer has the choice on whether to keep it (a maximum of 6 Pokemon is carried at a time, in this roleplay, the number of pokémon carried is determined on how many roleplayer there are) or to transfer it to a safe place for storage. When Pokémon are in storage, it will be available to the trainer if he/she needs it. Opening your storage is usually available when visiting a pokémon center(a hospital for pokémon), possibly a police department, or any other points of interest. Once a Pokémon is captured, the trainer can use it and give it a nick name. The Pokémon can not escape from the Poké Ball after it has been captured.
*Lesson 4*
Pokémon don't die in battle, Pokemon can either get injured or faint, but death never occurs. In this roleplay, poke'mon are capable of dying. If they were to faint, it's necessary that they be placed in their poké balls. On the other hand, if they were to be attacked by another creature while being unconscious (faint), the pokémon would die. Only a handy revive can save them from death. When a pokémon is injured or has fainted, they need to be hospitalized at a pokémon center. The Pokémon Center cures pokémon from diseases, illnesses, injuries, faint status, and more. Pokémon Centers are found at almost every city in the Pokémon world. In these Pokémon Centers, trainers will find a nurse named Joy, referred to as Nurse Joy. Every Pokémon Center has a Nurse Joy, all of them are related to each other and look very identical (you wouldn't be able to see the difference). Nurse Joy is responsible for caring for the Pokemon in the Pokémon Center. Often, Nurse Joy will have a Pokémon assistant, called Chansey. In this roleplay, only one Joy exists. As only one officer Jane exists.
*Lesson 5*
Everyone is now going on a so-called "Pokémon Journey". Our objective is to whether become a pokémon master or finish a goal that we had dreamed of. In this roleplay, our dreams will be delayed thanks to Team Revolution. To become a pokémon master would mean having to train your pokémon and use them to fight in a gyms. In Gyms, there is a leader of the gym. If a trainer defeats the leader, the trainer will get a badge for proof of his/her achievement. Along the way, trainers meet other trainers, and might want to start a friendly battle. Once a trainer gets a minimum of eight badges, the trainer can then enter a tournament called the Pokémon League. Trainers from all over the place gather to see who the best is.
*Lesson 6*
There's another class called the pokémon breeder. Pokémon Breeder is primarily a Pokémon Trainer who nurtures and mates carefully selected Pokémon to reproduce specific improvements in future generations of Pokémon, such as moves and individual values. Their goal is occasionally to study pokémon, or raising Pokémon for health and friendship, rather than for Pokémon battles.
You Have Now Learned The Basics!
After 6 important introductory lessons of Pokémon, you have finally learned the basics. Of course, there is still much to learn. But you will have a much easier time comprehending and learning after mastering the basics. Now you have a wider view on Pokémon. Either way, I congratulate all for spending some time to learn about something.
