<Snipped quote by Nebulae>

I understand that the current roles started above are: Trainer, coordinator, and explorer. If I had to focus on one based off from the general definition (which I know your definition might differ) I would have to focus on the one that would fit a scientific individual the best and that would possibly be explorer. Someone who wants to explore the world and learn about the environments and different types of pokemon. Though I feel like my idea could fit into the trainer role on the basis of learning to teach as well. What do you think?


Honestly, a scientist could work really well for any of the three roles. It all depends on what drives them.

As a Trainer, maybe they’re studying combat mechanics in the field, trying to understand the way Pokémon adapt through battle, or testing a theory on how emotional bonds affect performance. As a Coordinator, maybe they’re trying to quantify beauty, charisma, or the subtle language between Pokémon and audience.

And as an Explorer, the fit is probably the most natural. If you check the OOC, you’ll see that in this region, there are 22 magical brooches known as the Major Arcana, each tied to either a Gym Leader, a Contest Icon, or one of the Elite Four or Champion, except for one: a brooch that’s been lost to time. An Explorer with a scientific mind might be driven to study the origin of these artifacts, uncover their true nature, and follow the trail of the missing one.

So yeah, go wild with your idea. The role can absolutely bend to fit the character, as long as their motivation shines through.
I'll put interest in. I love pokemon and light D&D mechanics.


I'm glad you're interested! I'm building the mechanics guide at the moment :D

Do you have any idea which of the roles you'd like to apply to?
The Major Arcana



The Major Arcana – Imperial Order of Veluria

To most citizens of Veluria, the Major Arcana are simply the greatest heroes of the region—Gym Leaders, Contest Icons, and the Emperor’s Royal Guard. Each member bears a legendary Brooch said to grant its wielder incredible powers tied to an ancient tarot motif. However, the true origin of the brooches is shrouded in mystery. No one remembers who created them—or why.

Originally formed around these relics, the Major Arcana once served an unknown purpose now lost to time. Over generations, they became figures of cultural, political, and military power—enforcing Imperial law, shaping public ideals, and dominating both battle and beauty.

Each Gym Leader and Contest Icon wields a unique Brooch linked to a Major Arcana card, and each operates out of a designated city. The cities themselves have become famous centers of tourism, training, and cultural rivalry.

The Elite Four and Champion reside in the Imperial Capital, ruling as the Emperor's Royal Guard.

Yaay! I'm glad you're interested. Let me know if you have more details and ideas for your character! And about not knowing much about D&D, don't worry, I can walk you through everything in your Pokémon's statblock.
Pokémon Stat Blocks Guide


⚠️⚠️ The full guide is live, but I understand the mechanics might feel a bit overwhelming at first—so for now, think of them as suspended until everyone feels comfortable diving in. ⚠️⚠️




Hey! I’ve got 3 spots open for a Pokémon campaign with a twist.


This game will be set in an original region and use light D&D-inspired mechanics to handle Pokémon battles, moves, and special encounters. It’s a story-focused, character-driven adventure with just enough dice to spice up the big moments.

You’ll choose one of three roles: Trainer, Coordinator, or Explorer—each with their own goals, paths, and ways to interact with the world.

Want to build a party, uncover a mystery, and fight for something bigger?

This is a tabletop-style campaign.
We’ll be using D&D-inspired mechanics to handle Pokémon moves, stats, and structured encounters. Every Pokémon will have a custom creature-style stat block, including things like HP, AC, Speed, Abilities, and signature Moves—built for quick use and flavorful play.

I’ll be managing all stat tracking behind the scenes (level-ups, evolutions, move changes, etc.), so you can focus on playing your character.

When do we roll dice?
Only when it matters.
Gym battles,
Contests,
Fights against major villains or threats.
Everything else—like minor wild encounters, roleplay scenes, or exploration—is handled narratively to keep the story flowing.

The goal is to keep the pacing tight and the mechanics fun, not overwhelming. You’ll get tactical depth when it counts, and cinematic storytelling the rest of the time.






Welcome to Veluria — a different kind of Pokémon region.

Here, kids don't set out at ten with a rucksack and a dream. In Veluria, all young trainers pursue a compulsory education plan, coming out at twenty after years of demanding, multi-faceted training.

Students are taught an extensive range of abilities—some with applications in everyday life, others specially specific to Pokémon. They learn survival techniques, ecological science, healing methods, Pokémon behavior and health, battle theory, ethics, engineering, agriculture, etc. Each is taught not only in classrooms, but in the outdoors too—through forests, labs, mountain camps, battlefields.

Other graduates continue their studies in such academic disciplines as Poké-medicine, cryptozoology, elementary physics, aura studies, or ancient civilization studies. Others become Rangers, Habitat Restoration Architects, or Conservation or Competitive Battling specialists with special permits.

Veluria doesn't hurry its youth. It sharpens them.

I’m looking for three players for this campaign—one to fill each role: a Trainer, a Coordinator, and an Explorer.

You don’t need to feel boxed in. Your character doesn’t have to be freshly graduated—but they can be.

In this region, there exists an enigmatic organization known as the Major Arcana, operating under the authority of the Imperial Family. Each member wields a magical brooch—an amulet embodying one of the Major Arcana:

Eight of them serve as Gym Leaders.
Eight are the icons of the Contest Halls.
Five form the Elite Four and the Champion, collectively known as the Emperor’s Royal Guard.

But one brooch is missing, lost to history, or hidden for a reason.




Even tho, I'm looking for three players, each for a specific role don’t feel locked into standard archetypes.

The Trainer is someone striving to conquer every Gym, to face the Elite Four, and ultimately to challenge for the title of Champion—becoming the Emperor’s newest sword and shield. But maybe...

You are a retired policeman, now middle-aged, haunted by your days in service, seeing the gym challenge as a path to redemption—and a way to protect the future...

...or a former academic dropout, who once studied battle theory but never touched a Poké Ball—until now...

...or a bright-eyed prodigy from a remote island, who fights with instinct and improvisation, their bond with Pokémon forged without formal education.




The Coordinator seeks to dazzle the Contest Circuit, rise to the rank of Top Coordinator, and earn the right to wield the Star Arcana, ascending directly into the elite 4 ranks. But maybe...

You are a glamorous drag performer, blending art, illusion, and fierce battle style into breathtaking contests—trailblazing and unapologetic...

...or a reclusive older woman, once a contest legend, now coming out of retirement for one last shot at the Star Arcana...

...or a grizzled biker with a love for sparkle and showmanship, proving that beauty and brawn aren’t mutually exclusive.




The Explorer is driven by curiosity, chasing whispers and ruins scattered across Veluria. They seek the truth of the Major Arcana’s origin—and the secret of the missing brooch. But maybe...

You are a young single mother and former construction worker, drawn to ruins by strange dreams—dragging her toddler and her partner along in a heavily modified van...

...or a scholar of ancient languages, excommunicated from the academic world for “unethical” theories about the Arcana...

...or a blind seer, guided by the hum of lost magic, following instincts and cryptic visions, not maps.




The examples above are just inspiration—jumping-off points.

You can absolutely create a Trainer, Coordinator, or Explorer with any kind of backstory. Even something more classic, like a small-town kid with big dreams, or an Ash Ketchum-type setting off into the world.

When it comes to choosing players, I’ll be looking for characters with strong stories—people who feel real, alive, and driven. I’ll also be considering how well the characters fit together, because at the campaign’s starting point, all three will already know each other. They’re more than acquaintances and have a reason to journey across Veluria side by side.

But don’t stress too much about that yet. That’s a future-us problem.

For now, just focus on building the best Trainer, Coordinator, or Explorer you can imagine. The kind of character you’d want to follow through a whole region.




Alright, now for the “boring” part—mechanics.

⚠️⚠️ the mechanics guide is live, but I'm suspending it until further notice, because I think this might be driving potential players away ⚠️⚠️

For Pokémon stats and battles, the game will shift into a light tabletop mode. Each Pokémon will have a small creature-style stat block, inspired by D&D (the system I’m most familiar with). I’ll be handling evolution tracking and updating stat blocks as needed—you won’t need to worry about the numbers behind the curtain.

Here’s the important bit: most of the time, you won’t even touch the mechanics.
Stumbled into a flock of wild Pidgey? No need to roll dice— we'll just narrate it out.
But when you step into a Gym, hit the Contest stage, or face down villains? Oh yeah, we’re breaking out the stat blocks. That’s where the randomness kicks in to keep things tense, wild, and unpredictable.

Just enough crunch to spice things up—never enough to bog you down (hopefully)







Alright, so if you’ve read all of this and want to join the journey through Veluria, here’s the application form. When you fill it out, focus on what your character wants to do, and how where they came from informs that.

Why do they want to be Champion? Maybe it’s out of loyalty to the Imperial Family. Maybe they’re chasing glory, trying to prove something to themselves or the world, fulfilling a promise, or even running from something darker. Whatever it is, give them purpose. Make them feel alive.

I’m looking for a partner to join me in a role-playing adventure set in a modern-day Hogwarts. This is an alternate universe where Hogwarts has always been a university, and we’re in 2024—with smartphones, social media, and all things tech mixing with magic. I'll be playing a student, but if you’d like to play a professor or staff member, that’s great too!

This will be an MxM game, and while I’m a male myself in real life, I don’t mind what your real-life gender is. Romance will definitely be a part of the story, but it won’t be the only focus. There’s so much to explore—from classes on new spells to the mysteries of the magical world. Smut scenes are optional for me, and I’d prefer they not be central to the plot.

I’m flexible about posting frequencies and totally understand that real life comes first. Open communication is all I ask for.
