All across the world the powerful legendary pokemon that shape the lands they inhabit have been vanishing and as a result upsetting the natural balance.

Mewtwo the Artificially designed Pokemon and the currently only free Legendary pokemon left has called on the help of skilled trainers from across the regions in order to find and free the ones who have been taken.

OK so hopefully this idea has gained some interest. As trainers start at the age of ten, all our characters being at least 18 will all have several years of experience. In order for diversity I'm having characters use only pokemon from the region in which they originate from so for example if your character is from Kanto then they will only be using Gen 1 pokemon although there will be a small list of exceptions.
1. Evee and all evolved forms
2. Pokemon that get an evolution or prevelution in a later game
3. If you have a pokemon from your gen with an Alolan form

In the instance of players battling each other type advantage will be the deciding factor unless a different decision is made by players involved.
Pokemon will have access to only four moves each so please state what four moves they have.
I won't be using mega evolution or Z moves.

OK so with all that out of the way here is the character sheet

Hello I think I might have an idea brewing for this.

*plants interest flag* Might need to hog either the sinnoh or Alola person. xD

There can be multiple characters for each region so don't worry about getting your region, I'm just trying to get plenty ofor diversity

SilkenVenom

I'll put tentative interest in this.

Probably go with either Sinnoh or Unova. I loved 5th generation, but so many of the pokemon from that region were just god awful. I loved the region and story though.

The only reason I would want Unova is for the Joltik/Galvantula line. I like me my smol electric spider. xD

Uggh! So many regions I want just a mon or two from.  xD

It's why I think Sinnoh is probably the best region for this game because it breaks the pokemon region limitation rule the most. Gen 4 introduced a lot of really good evolutions and prevolutions for previous generation pokemon, so you can use a lot of older generation pokemon because you have access to their added evolutions. In addition, it had a lot of really good new ones (Garchomp, anyone?).

Wow I never realised there would be so much anguish in choosing. I've always been a johto guy myself. Can't not have my Cinderquill.

SilkenVenom

Everyone has their favorites. I was a bit bored last night so I actually started work on a character for this, just in case it decides to go forward.

azzmeister89

We definitely have enough people to start now, it's also all dependant on the genders of your characters. I want to try and get as close to an even ratio as I can.

RockSalt

I'm interested in joining this and working on a character sheet! One question though, I'm still not sure whether the pokemon you're allowed to use are only the ones native to your region, or the ones unique to that region's generation. For instance, on the very first route of Johto you can encounter rattata. However, rattata are gen 1 pokemon not gen 2. Would a johto trainer be able to use a rattata/raticate?

azzmeister89

Ah sorry I could have worded that a bit better. Characters hailing from Johto would only be able to use Gen 2 pokemon unless one of my exceptions apply

pdragon

Yeah Gen 3 is my favorite hands down, so many good designs it's crazy.


Name: Mio Mai
Gender: Female
Age: 42
Appearance:
Sexual preference: Bisexual
Personality: Mio has a very soft, motherly demeanor, and is typically very patient, kind, and supportive of others as a general rule. She's used to going above and beyond to help others, and finds great enjoyment in doting on both people and pokemon alike. Of course this is all what one would expect from a motherly house wife, but Mio also has a more eccentric streak as well. Her old passion for battling tends to flare up at the oddest of times, and whenever she gets heated about something she can be surprisingly aggressive and intense. She can also be a bit of a goof, having a bubbly enthusiasm and odd sense of humor that for her age can be seen as highly endearing or really embarrassing.

History: Mio started her journey as a pokemon trainer over 30 years ago. Back then as a child she had no real care in the world aside from traveling the world and growing stronger beside her team. Despite pokemon contests becoming a big draw for female trainers at the time, Mio never cared much for it, focusing entirely on tearing her way through the pokemon league. She would compete in the Hoenn league grand tournament for 12 consecutive years straight before retiring, managing to reach the Elite 4 on 5 separate occasions and even facing the league champion once, though she would never actually capture the title herself.

Mio ended up retiring in her early twenties after becoming pregnant with her first and only child Sho, deciding to settle down with her husband and starting a proper family life. She would stay retired for nearly 15 years, until her son decided to start his own pokemon journey. With her son out traveling and her husband often away on business trips, Mio ended up dabbling back into the world of pokemon. First she picked up a part time job at a pokemon day care, then a battler tutor, and even applied to become a gym leader. Unfortunately none of these jobs really captured that old spark of being an actual trainer, and so she eventually decided to come out of retirement and take another go at the pokemon league. She didn't pursue it as seriously as before, every few weeks or so she would take a trip to one of the big cities, have a few battles here and there, maybe even challenge one of the gyms, and it more or less became a hobby for her. However despite that she's managed to rack up quite a few badges, and word of her come back story has made her somewhat renown among older trainers, and day by day the thought of going all out and finally trying to become champion grows more and more tempting.

Welp, both 3rd and 4th gen have trainers, but considering my character concept is a contest trainer and those were the only gens with contests... SHRUG. Would've maybe gone gen six or seven otherwise haha.

Name: Daiki Ikeda
Gender: Male
Age: 25
Appearance:
Sexual preference: Bisexual, strong preference for men
Personality:On the outside, Dai appears to be an extravagant, egotistical attention-whore... and he really kind of is. Dai loves attention and has spent most of his pokemon career seeking fame and glory. He tries to put forth an aire of confidence and elegance. His actual competence and taste isn't quite up to task though; Dai's lack of education means he's often ignorant of all the information, but that doesn't stop him from pretending he knows exactly what he's doing and rushing in bull-headed.

Dai is charming and confident. He loooves showing off to the point where it comes off in his speech patterns and mannerisms. He talks with his hands and always seems to be trying to guild his words in gold and make everyone possible like him. This with his over exaggerated expressions and actions make him verge on the edge of clownishness (or jump off of it in some people's eyes.) There is always pride in Dai's voice and a flourish to his moves as if he is constantly on stage... which he is in his mind. Of course, his slick words serve a dual purpose of drawing people into his con games and shows, and most don't suspect that his buffoonery is a part of his misdirection and distraction. Though Dai is no longer on the streets, he's still in survival mode and can be overly obsessed with money and success as if his life depends on it. He has no remorse when it comes to conning people's money away from them. Though he is never in the position to need to any more, he would totally steal the pants off an innocent man and do it with a smile to feed himself. A good performance is the most important thing to Dai however, money or not, so he will always be as pleasant or charming as possible. If he is not in a show however, if you annoy him enough that silver tongue can quickly turn into a blade and he's remarkably good at finding other people's weak spots and reading them. The only people he will never be mean to under any circumstances is children, he LOVES children.

Dai is vain.... very vain. He wears his show clothes as regular clothes because they are prettier and fancier than anything else he owns. He refuses to use anything but a cane to assist his wounded hip, ergonomics be damned, as anything else he could use does not go with his outfit. His hair is covering the scar over his face, and while he claims it's because people don't want to pity the performer they're watching to be entertained by, but really it's because Dai hates the scars.

Of course, Dai isn't as simple as he appears. Just as a cute assistant distracts the audience from the slight of hand in a magic show, Dai's flash and fancy distracts from his inner insecurities. He knows he lacks knowledge of the world that's second-nature for most people, that as a contest trainer he won't ever really be able to measure up to the truly skilled battle trainers (which is what people REALLY care about over contests let's be real.) He still feels like a poor street-rat that has been stuffed in a fancy suit that doesn't belong on him. His life is just a performance that never ends, and he's a slave to the show. To keep up his confidence he denies this internally, and can become ridiculously stubborn and defensive to people questioning him. His greatest weakness he already knows: his phobia of large pokemon. He can't really train pokemon that are large and even medium sized pokemon make him nervous unless he's personally raised them from a small preevolution. Dragon types are his most powerful fear, and any significantly large or intimidating pokemon can trigger his phobia. Why is he one of the heroes trying to free the most powerful pokemon in the world? Who knows, he has his own motivations and skills to bring to the table.

History: Originally from Eternia City, Dai was born the middle-child of a large family, and so turned to thrill-seeking antics and misbehavior to act out and get attention. One day when he was young he was dared to go into a cave and bring out a pokemon with his bare hands. It did not go well. Dai ignorantly tried to take a freshly hatched gabite from the cave, and its enraged mother nearly killed him in retaliation. It took Dai months to recover, and left him with scars, physical and emotional. Dais has a bad hip, some superficial scarring on his face, and the scar tissue on one of his lungs prevents him from taking full breaths when exerting himself. Dai was left with a phobia of pokemon for many years, practically making him a pariah with his peers. Refusing to interact with pokemon combined with new struggles to make friends and excel in school meant Dai's bad behavior increased. He dropped out of highschool and turned to being a street magician and con-man to make his money, happily scamming people with his charms and quick fingers. Still, it's hard to make money without a cute pokemon to draw eyes to you. Dai was living on the streets for several years. He had been to therapy, and at this point, and in desperation to earn more money he gathered enough nerve to adopt a very small, very nonthreatening pokemon. He got a small Budew he named Briar to be his lovely "assistant" for his act.

His bond with Briar paved the way for Dai to reconnect with the pokemon world. Eventually he had a small team of pokemon, though they were all extremely small and unassuming species. He taught them tricks and flashy moves in the back alleys where he lived, and eventually began to have a solid performance. Contests were nowhere near as popular in Sinnoh as they were in Hoenn, but they made more money and granted more fame than street performing, and when he was nineteen, Dai made the transition from conning and street performing, to official pokemon contests. After a rocky start, he found his feet and quickly began rising through the ranks. Dai's time on the streets made him extremely driven and focused, and he became known for training his pokemon for excellent form and execution. He had a unique style uninfluenced by tired contest cliches since he had avoided pokemon during his life. Dai became egotistical and obessed with his image, though he had the skills to back it up. He now has two full teams of contest stars.

Over the years he's done contests, Dai's been inevitably drawn into pokemon battles as an extension of contest battles. He can function well enough as a battler now, as his pokemon are extremely well trained even if they're not battle specialists. He's not classically trained, and combined with his contest focus, his greatest strengths are unusual battle strategies and his pokemon's impeccable execution of moves.

      So I normally don't do canon world RPs, but I'm interested in this... with a couple of reservations. I, um... never really played the video games much. I had (still have) a lot of the old cards, and I used to play that a good bit. But I really don't know jack squat about the newer gen. stuff. and my knowledge of moves and pokemon types and their strengths/weaknesses is pretty much limited to how they appear in the card game (and only what I can kind of remember, at that). As far as the cartoon series, I only ever watched the Orange Islands and maybe like a season or two after that. It got redundant really fast, so It wasn't something I made it a point to keep up on. But... I did love the card game.

      Well if you watched Johto shit didn't get that much more complicated Tira. ;)

      Basically the only thing that's majorly changed is the introduction of the fairy type to balance dragon types more. :3

But I really don't know jack squat about the newer gen. stuff. and my knowledge of moves and pokemon types and their strengths/weaknesses is pretty much limited to how they appear in the card game (and only what I can kind of remember, at that). As far as the cartoon series, I only ever watched the Orange Islands and maybe like a season or two after that. It got redundant really fast, so It wasn't something I made it a point to keep up on. But... I did love the card game.

      I think you should still join if you're interested! Since this is a text rp, there's plenty of time to ask questions in between posts or look stuff up if you're unsure about things! If you're insecure you can also play a character who's from Kanto or Johto who's not familiar with the other regions too. The anime and games work pretty differently too, so there's bound to be some differences in style in how people interpret the world we're in anyways. If you want help picking moves or anything, I'm sure others in the thread will be happy to help!

      If i do join up, i will have to be from Kanto. Gengar is the only pokemon that ever really mattered to me. I have almost every single version of him in the cards that was made up until like 3  or 4 years ago. I dunno if there are newer editions of him out by now. I even have the Gengar box that came with the special little sleeves of the mega evolution and all that. I never played with those cards, though. I liked pokemon when it was simpler to understand and 70HP was considered high. hahaha

      I know that feeling. Damn kids today did now the creep factory that was Lavender Town. xD
