Hey everybody! So, I bet your here today because you wanna know how to roleplay. Never fear, Benny's here to show you how. Just follow the rules and read the instructions carefully, and soon you'll be on your way having a blast!
Rping - First of all, you need to know how your rp should look. Basically, make your adventure like a story. Describe what your character see's, what they feel. Tell us how they're thinking, whether there nervous, excited, or nervously excited.
Battles- Unles you're making up a seperate character to battle against, all pokemon battles are between two characters (members) on the forum, who are willing to rp against each other. Make the battles like the anime, but also make sure its fair. Give the other a chance to throw an attack, and even a chance to hit. You CANNOT win them all. Gym battles are different. There will be a certain person who will play a certain gym leader. To battle in a gym, you must pm the member who is responsible for the gym leader you are challenging, and ask them to battle with you. (See gym/contest sign up thread for help)
Contest - Ah, contest! Now, this is where things get a bit different, so make sure you understand. Normally, we will wait until ATLEAST 8 people sign up to compete in a contest hall, and then actually do the contest. BUT, if someone request it, and no one else signs up within a week, they have permission to create 3 seperate characters in there rp to compete against. So, here is how the contest work. It's basically like the anime, but here, I AM THE JUDGE! ME! MWAHAHAHAHA! Well me and two other members of course. But anyway, there are two rounds. The first round is the appeal round. The must come up with 4 ways to show off your pokemon's moves uniquely. Based on what you do, the judges will give you a score out of 10. After that, the judges pick the highest half, those are the ones to move to the second round. During the second round, you will battle the other competitors, with an 8 post (each) maximum. You will also have 100 points each. Depending on how well you use the move, the other competitor will lose a certaint amount. Don't be confused though, this IS a battle. Whoever has the least amount of points at the end of the 16 post (altogether) is the loser. (See gym/contest sign up for info on judges.)
Pokemon leagues - Pokemon leagues are pretty simple. You will go up against other trainers until you make it to them top. But heres the twist. You will have no idea who you're up against. This person could be a character you've already met in the region, or someone you've never met. You must beat a total of ten trainers before claiming victory. Theres a chance you'll win, but bewarned, there is an even bigger chance you won't.
General rules:
Obviously, no god modding
Pokemon are found in there own regions, and habitats. You can't find a magikarp in a volcano, or a Ho oh in your backyard.
Legendaries will NOT be caught.
You cannot skip routes, unless you make it connect to the rest of your rp.
You must explain the process of obtaining ALL of your pokemon.
Must show some evidence of raising pokemon before making them evolve. (unless of course you use a special stone.)
And of course, have fun!
EDIT: A word of advice. Try to have somethg in your sig that tells us how many pokemon and badges you have, (trainer's card, picture etc.) Since pokecharms is dow you can use this www.mapletowers.com/trainercards/ugenerator.php
Or you can make your own if you want.
(any questions, you can post them on the info section or pm me)
