So, this is an RP based off of a series of RP's I did on another site that I loved doing. Basically, it's just like the games. You can be from any region, though you'll start in the region that wins the vote. You'll be a 10 year old kid just starting his/her Pokémon journey, meeting the Professor of the region, and getting your starter Pokémon based on that region. Then you can travel with newfound friends, catching Pokémon along the way, doing trainer battles, fighting in gyms, doing contests, and even battling evil teams and meeting legendary Pokémon.
However, it won't be as limited as the games are. You can use any moves the Pokémon can use, including egg moves, move tutor moves, etc, and you won't be limited to four. Battles will be done similar to that of the anime, where the Pokémon can dodge and stuff like that, but it'll still be turn based. If you're battling against eachother, to prevent any god modding, or power playing, or anything like that, it's best if you respectfully decide who will win the match beforehand, and then act out the battle to watch it unfold, so as to prevent people from say dodging every attack. I will leave it up to you guys on how much damage your pokemon takes, as well as how close they are to evolving. Just don't go overboard and make your Pokémon evolve too quickly.
As for Pokémon you encounter, you're not limited to just the Pokémon that appears in the route, but you can encounter any Pokémon that would be found in that habitat. Like say you're in a grassy field, you can encounter various Normal, Grass, and Bug types. Nothing ridiculous though, like finding a Water type in a volcano. I will also leave it up to you guys as to how much damage the opposing Pokémon takes, as well as how difficult it is to capture. Again, don't go overboard and catch every Pokémon in your first ball without damaging it.
As for legendaries, when I put up the OOC once the region is determined, I will post a list of all legendaries found in the region. They will become first come-first serve and whomever requests a particular one first, will be the one to capture it. However, as it is my RP and I am creating it, I will take the liberty of reserving ones I want. Yet again, don't go overboard and request all available legendaries. I'm trying to make this as fair as possible, so I would like it for everyone who joins to have their own legendary, if they want one. If you don't like legendaries, you don't have to have one, and someone else can claim it.
As for the Elite Four/Champion. It will be done like in the anime where we'll have a tournament where you will face off against eachother as well as various characters from the show, the one who wins the tournament will become the champion, and the Elite Four will not exist, as that would be a bit too time consuming, with everyone else having to sit back as one person takes them all on.
As for the story, it'll be our own with our own characters, but we will witness and participate in events that occur in the games of that region. Like if we start in Hoenn, we face off against Aqua and Magma and witness the events of their plans to wake Kyogre and Groudon, as well as battling them and Rayquaza to try and save the world. Same with Sinnoh, Team Galactic, and Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask, and I'll answer them to the best of my ability. Also, I will limit one character per person, otherwise we may have too many people and the RP will drag on as everyone waits for each character to defeat the same gym.
