I agree with Lucas.  Seeing a Team Rocket grunt with a Grimer isn't as scary as seeing one with a Sneasel or something.

You kidding? Grimer is monster made of goo, its ****ing badass. :P

But yeah, lets replace Rattatas and Zubats with Houndooms and Skarmories. And instead of Grimers, Muks. Because if they are grunts of the badass pokémon mob: they have to be good trainers.

I'm okay with or without a ref. It was just a suggestion to keep things fair. But we all know each other and I'm pretty confident we're not gonna be dicks about this. Also, I will post a profile tomorrow. I need more time to think about it.

I like prpl mages plot. And I think, for reference, we should just stick to the best of our knowledge where wild pokemon are and aren't. I feel like a pretty big nerd saying this, but I know pretty damn well where kanto/johto pokemon are.

It's not like you're the only big nerd around here then. I got a pretty good idea of where to find most pokés. Remakes or not.

Okay! I hope this isn't too much. If people don't like this, then I'll change it. I wrote it on the basis that this story was not taking place during the same time frame as red/blue.


Christopher Lennick
Age: 19
Hair: Brown, short
Eyes: Brown
Body Type: 5 feet 7 inches. Kind of lanky. Lean but in shape.
Bio: Son to Richard Lennick, Pewter City gym leader. As an only child, Chris has big shoes to fill. He often doesn't feel like he'll ever be ready to become a gymleader. He loves pokemon and training them, but is still learning. His father has taught him a lot about pokemon types, battle strategies, caring for pokemon, etc. But experience is what he lacks to set the knowledge in his head. Chris knows the pokemon around where he lives, but is mostly unfamiliar with pokemon in farther regions.

Chris has been raising a Geodude since he was 16. His father, Richard, gave him one when he felt it was time. Thought most kids start off at a younger age, Richard wanted to make sure Chris was entirely ready to take on the full time task of raising a pokemon properly. Since then, Chris has caught a sandshrew, which doesn't seem to like him much, and a jigglypuff, which became more attached to Chris's mom, Elliot. Chris hasn't really bothered training the jigglypuff.

Chris's Sandshrew:
Nickname: Sandy
Gender: Female
Nature: brazen, unruly.

Chris's Geodude:
Nickname: Dudley
Gender: Male
Nature: Calm, reserved.

Jigglypuff:
Nickname: Ploof
Gender: Female
Nature: Carefree, happy.

MOST IMPORTANT BACK STORY

Richard has been missing for 3 months. No one knows where he went or what happened to him. He did however, leave the boulder badges behind. Chris did his best to maintain the gym and turned challengers away. Until one day, a stranger came that demanded someone fight him for the boulder badge. The unknown man insulted Richard, calling him "a lazy and careless gymleader who should be stripped of his title". Chris, feeling obligated to defend his dad's honor, fought the man and lost to a single powerful pokemon. The man took a boulder badge and left. Chris closed the gym after that. He locked the doors and wouldn't even go inside.

I don't mind it, got a brilliant idea on an event from this.

But having the father's name in there kinda confused me, I kept thinking it was the character itself. Might be because of AFLs character... Maybe not.

Yeah, I just noticed AFL's character name, so I'm gonna change while I still can!

This would be my first serious attempt at rping, so I hope adding some back story in with the father wasn't some form of "godmodding" or some other big no.

Not at all, I have no problem with it.

Gonna start a new thread for the actual rp pretty soon. Trying to keep all discussions and new arrivals posting here. Might as well summarize a synopsis as the time passes.



Some basic rules lads:
  • Feel free to use any NPC with only your fantasy(or decency) as the boundary.
  • Try NOT to use a "connected character" that one of your fellow participants created. If it is someone's father, brother, rival, daughter. Let them be as much as you can allow yourself to avoid upsetting someone. Of course. Some people won't mind if you add a little personal touch the the whole thing (like me).
  • Try not to control other player's characters. If you want a change of scenery write something along the lines "And then they went to...", this does not point of specific people doing something, so if someone object - he can claim that he stayed behind or went somewhere else.
I might have to make up new rules as we go if people have opinions about what others do.


If you have any wondering or such, feel free to send me a PM.

The RP was started!
Pokémon RP, The adventure begins.


It's funny how I can make this text purple but not my title....

Just some ideas to consider.

-I propose setting this a good 20 or 30 years after red/blue. So, this is a neo-Team Rocket, if you will. And they've done far more damage then they ever have before. Atleast, that's what it seems to me is the direction we're heading.

-We've got characters here that clearly just want to become pokemon masters. That's another idea to keep in mind.

-If Team Rocket is so big and powerful, why doesn't the elite four step in and whoop their ***es? Unless, the obvious happens. The Elite Four of this time are controlling Team Rocket.

-Also, if we decide on a good 20, 30 year gap. Professor Oak should be dead. So who does that leave??? Professor... Gary?

Just some random blurbs of ideas.

EDIT: OOO! I have a great idea. A darker take on Pokemon. In the twilight years of pokemon, all pokemon seem to have been discovered. The relevance of pokemon research is waning, becoming more specialized to scientists rather than adventurers. Whoever the professor is decides handing out pokedex is a futile venture, since most pokemon have already been documented. I'm not sure where to go from there, just a proposal. Something will have to happen to spark the new professor's interest. Also, more creative ways in attaining pokedex's.

Maybe the Team Rocket dudes are stronger than the Elite 4? That makes sense. Plus, being evil, they are not limited to six pokes at a time or one (or two) pokes per round in a battle.

And I was thinking something like 5 years after Johto games (which is 8 years after red and blue and likely sapphire emerald as well, and by that logic 5 years after gen IV, but anyway), but 20-30 years could work as well, as long as the world hasn't changed much other than the people.

That makes sense too. I could be down with that. Team Rocket would be using "dishonorable" tactics, sending three or four pokemon on one. I'm not too concerned with the timeframe after red/blue. It's just a suggestion.

All my ideas can easily be denied if you guys don't like them. I really won't be offended. They're just ideas

I'm gonna start by saying that it's a fictional Kanto, it's based on Kanto but might not be the same as the game or the anime. Don't get to stuck on the time or place; proceed as you want.

With Elite four controlling team rocket - nope I didn't have that thought - it would be too much like the manga I assume. Let's face it, what did Lance and the rest do when the Silph scope building was occupied in R/B/Y? Not a single thing. Gym leaders and Elite four aren't some kind of police. They are strong trainers. And strong trainers do what strong trainers want. Also, one of the elite four might not be enough to defeat a whole gang of team rocket members. It might take more than 2 even. And who will remain at the Indigo Plateau and take care of their profession - being the elite four?

And with the pokémon master aspect, it would be no fun if they could become masters easily. Gotta make them sweat a little on the way. With team rocket controlling areas and affecting the locals, things won't always flow so fluently. It's the effort that makes the goal.

Edit. Drats, Lucas kinda wrote what I was thinking about the E4.
