Welcome to the OOC, if you have any questions ask away or just chat about character ideas, suggestions, etc.

I'd say anytime between just met to maybe even a year or two.

I'm thinking of a fire type, like maybe fennekin cause i want my character to be able to forge stuff

I'd say anytime between just met to maybe even a year or two.

Giving a range of available times is something I hadn't actually thought of so thanks for the suggestion, but the year or two maximum is a bit much for me. I was imagining that the trainers were maybe familiar with their Pokemon but haven't had the chance to really start training much or to earn much of the Pokemon's trust, so I've had a smaller maximum time in mind. However, if everyone would prefer to have a more established relationship with their Pokemon (or at least to have been with their Pokemon for a longer time) it wouldn't be much of a problem and shouldn't change the RP in any major way.

I'm thinking of a fire type, like maybe charmander cause i want my character to be able to forge stuff

If you're looking for a good fire type with potential forging capabilities then I would suggest the Rolycoly line. The piles of coal that are seen in later parts of the line seem like they could make for a decent on the go furnace.

i was thinking fennekin because i know in the later stages when it becomes a braixen then i can manipulate the staff it has and just have like, fire-resistant bricks and stuff on my person to build a mini forge wherever i am. but i'll definitely consider it ^~^

Thinking of Tynamo for the time being. The end result's gonna pay off.

Elektross is definitely worth the trouble of training and you should be able to get a good little adventure out of looking for a thunder stone.

 

[Arcanist]

StorytellerLathos do you mind if I PM you about a character idea I'm thinking of working on? I just want to make sure it's appropriate ^^;

 

[StorytellerLathos]

Arcanist Go ahead and send it.

This poll is a really good idea because I was having trouble figuring out how to do a backstory for my character and Pokémon. Another question, do our characters grow up in this region? And if they are just meeting their Pokemon, is there a professor type character giving them to them? Traditional Pokémon style?

Your characters would have grown up in the region, but as you likely noticed I have not given any info on the Nise region outside of some basic rules/behaviors regarding the fantasy and Pokemon aspects of it. My reason for doing so is to not create many restrictions for a character's backstory, as of right now Nise is an almost blank canvas for everyone to begin painting their own lore as it relates to their character. If you need a bit of info on Nise (outside of things asked here) then, again, feel free to ask.

There is a professor-like figure that will give a Pokemon to those who want to have just met their Pokemon, should I go that route or if I decide to give you the choice of how long you've had the Pokemon.

 

[Kapowne]

Awesome awesome. I think personally I’d like to have met my Pokémon myself. But I’m sill toying with the two. (I always have a tendency to go too dark in backstories, so I’m trying to find a good balance)

 

[Arcanist]

Ok, just finished my OC! If anything needs changed, let me know~

 

[Centuries]

i'm a little late, but hello! i'll try to complete my character asap, i love the other characters so far!

 

[CommonMalpractice]

I have a r r i v e d .

I'll try to get my character done tonight!​

 

[Delinquent]

Sorry for not posting anything in this thread earlier, but I've worked nights the last two days so I haven't had the time.

Should be able to have my character up tonight though.

 

[StorytellerLathos]

Don't worry about it, there are still plenty of people working on their characters so you're good.

Ok so I got some pokemon chosen that I know for sure I want to use in the rp just trying to figure out which one will be the starter but before I choose I just wanted to double check on something. Does the starter pokemon have to have three evolutions or can we choose one that only have two or doesn't evolve at all?

Well, the official ruling is three evolutions, though I did allow Natu. There are two main reasons I allowed this:
1) Xatu is not a very strong Pokemon when compared to the final evolutions of three stage Pokemon.
2) It works so well with the character that I believe it's worth allowing a two stage evolution and I can't really think of many other Pokemon (with three stage evolutions) that could take its place.
So I may allow a two stage evolution under similar conditions, but Pokemon that do not evolve are not allowed.

 

[Delinquent]

Would an eevee work as a starter?

That's cool I just wanted to double-check before I decided.

Actually, now that you mention it, eevee might work. Though many of its evolutions are have some decent power, all of its evolutions are also locked behind some sort of special event or item so there could be some difficulty in evolving it. It would also depend on which evolution you plan on taking or if you even plan to evolve at all, because eevee gets a mega evolution from Pokemon Insurgence. Ultimately it would likely depend on the character you are making, if the choice of eevee is essential to your character's growth or eevee is simply the only Pokemon that seems to fit the bill then I'd be more inclined to allow it. So, if you'd like, you can provide just a simple character concept so I can get an idea of how well eevee fits in, I'll see if it's something I'd allow.

Tbh, since fakemon was allowed I was planning to evolve it into a fighter or maybe even a normal type. Figured that with a fakemon eeveelution I could better choose something on the same powerlevel as the rest of the characters.

So if you can provide just a simple character concept so I can get an idea of how well eevee fits in, I'll see if it's something I'd allow.

It's pretty dumb but the general gist of my character was that she was the daughter of an exeecutioner which naturally resulted in her being a social pariah. And her having an eevee is supposed to represent her desire to leave her past behind her and change into something completely different.

Okay, so I see that eevee does fit the character pretty well, plus I'd like to see how it is you intend to display the relationship and growth between the trainer and eevee. I'll allow eevee, the only thing I'd like to discuss more is the evolution, but I think I'll wait until the RP is well underway so you have some time to see what you'd like eevee to evolve into.

 

[CommonMalpractice]

Ya'll ever just have a surge of inspo?? Because my brain just said you're gonna finish the character for this RP + another one.​
