Pokémon RP Kanto quest, sign up and lets catch 'em all!

[drenrin2120]

Okay, so Team Rocket is just really powerful. The Elite four might be able to stop them, but since they're comparable to modern gangsters then we'll equate the elite four and gym leaders to professional athletes. They're powerful, but they're just celebrities nonetheless.

As for the pokemon master, I completely understand this. I think my point was more so that some characters won't be interested in becoming a pokemon master. But that's all in the RP to be discovered, soooo kind of a useless point to make. =P

For some reason, I really like the 20 to 30 years after red/blue (if only for Professor Gary). But I also like the "fictional kanto" that prpl proposed. I like them both for the same reason: a familiar region with different people and (maybe) some familiar faces.

EDIT: Also, a question. Can I post in an RP a part of the story my character is going through if it's completely unrelated to what another or all the other characters are doing? Or should I wait for an appropriate time to post info?

I added Surge in my post. It could  still be 20 years after, though. Watson was REALLY old and still a gym leader. And Lt Surge seems like the kind of guy who is healthy. His old Raichu wasn't enough to beat the gangsters, though.

The first posts is usually an introduction post. I explained how my character got to where he was, Lucas did the same. Like every story first introduces the character to the audience.
If we feel that something is irrelevant we'll probably just skip that part of the post.

Everyone writes in a unique way so I won't tell you how to write. Write like you feel like writing.

P Drats, no easy way to make the pokéyen sign.

Okay, had some errors, but all is well now! Seems like a good start, I like it so far.

I neglected giving names to the gymleaders that way they'd be open to other people's interpretations.

Heh, my characters name is my name so... yeah...

Time for me to post I guess!

Nice post.

Also, to answer to corey's question on the thread, I think game cries would be better.  Sure, if anyone catches that parrot, he can say its own name, but I think it would be better if others just did their in game cries
Like Ed's Zubat's "EEEEEEEEE".

I just made my Starly nod for now. Next post he will make noise YAY!.
I was planning on meeting you in Diglett Cave. But assumed that since Starly is not a Kanto Pokemon he would have been noticed early on, and assumed Diglett cave may be more hidden than "take a right off the dock and BAM you see it".

What noise you decide that things can make is up to you. If you like 'em to say only the letters of its name - so be it. But for example the game - it would be a lie to claim that pokés say their names. Like Golbat.

So it's highly personal. you don't have to write "eeeeeeeeeh" or "graaaauuuwr" unless you really want to. It's enough to write that "Zubat let out a screeching cry" or something along the lines. Personal way of writing.

[drenrin2120]

perhaps we should create a timeline? Just to clear up some confusion of when and where these events are taking place. Something simple, like, for example, at the beginning of prpl's first post would go "DAY 1, Route 1". THAT simple, and if a day passes, then we're on DAY 2, referring to the amount of days since Rocket invaded pallet town, since prpl's character's story began.

Well, nothing says that my character arrived at Viridian the same day he heard the news in Saffron. And since then I haven't made any notice to what time of the day it is.
I don't know when your stuff takes place since you started out with a lot of back story. And I don't know what day or time of the day Corey and Lucas arrived in Vermillion.
If someone feels that the exact time is important for a certain event - I suspect they will tell. But what we're doing on our own and how time passes just don't affect other people that much. Well until people meet up, then you have to be in the same present.

If people think we should have a day count. Just say so and we'll introduce it. I'm just afraid that we suddenly realize that the Rockets have owned Saffron for 2,5 years after a while.

If someone wants to get my character with the little group, that'd be awesome.  I won't have time to get a proper post until Monday.

[Prpl_Mage]

You want to be included into our little party? That could be done, but you will kinda tag along like a guest then without any say in the matter. Although you could add thoughts and feelings afterwards if you want.

That's cool, I wasn't sure if the day was really important to someone or not. And I get what you're saying about everyone realizing what needs to happen with rocket. Atleast with my character, there is a reason he's headed to pallet town, and it's not to stop rocket.

If anything, this seems to be, judging by people's writings, a time of increased violent rocket behavior. That's how I'm taking it. Like, Rocket has been on top for x amount of years, but has recently become very active, kidnapping, stealing pokes, beating up trainers, frequently.

Assumptions is what makes life interesting.

Joe, maybe you could just say that you're heading someplace, and we will head to someplace else, and by Monday we will be about to meet?
