I know these are boring and most of them are kind of "well duh!" type rules, but make sure you at least skim them. We do a couple of things differently here, and if you don't read about it you might get confused.
#1- No Godmodding/power playing
This means that sometimes your pokemon faint, and that you don't decide what attacks hit or not. For example, you might say "Meowth growled angrily and lashed out a Scratch attack." But you may not say "Meowth used a Scratch attack, making the Oddish cringe in pain." Because you do not control the Oddish, you cannot decide if the attacks hits or not. Also, remember that you cannot dodge very often.
#2- Please keep it PG-13
We want this site to be friendly for everyone. This means no outlandish violence or graphic love affairs. Also, I would prefer it if you kept all swearing to a minimum. Surely you can find a more creative way to express yourself.
#3-Keep the role play and real life seperate
Just because you hate a character doesn't mean you should hate the player. We need good villians and downright nasty people in order to give the role play more depth. If you have an issue with another player, don't rant about it all over the boards. Work out your differences, or ask a moderator to step in.
#4-Some notes about character creation
No character is perfect. Remember to add flaws as well as strengths when making your characters. There are pokemorphs in Airore (this is the mistake region after all). However, there can only be one pokemorph of each pokemon of each gender. So if there is already another female espeon pokemorph, you can either be a male espeon pokemorph or some other kind of pokemon. Legendary pokemorphs are not allowed.
#5- Keep your PC updated!!!
Each member is responsible for having a PC for each character, and keeping the information in that PC up to date. The moderators will look at your PC when making important decisions, such as when your pokemon evolves, what pokemon you might meet on a route, and if you are power-playing or not. If you don't update your PC, you are the only one who suffers. Also, we would prefer if you had a link to your character's PC somewhere in your signature. You can have as many characters as you can fit links for.
#6- Rules of Leveling up
If a pokemon beats another pokemon of a lesser level, it will gain half a level. If a pokemon beats another pokemon of an equal or one higher level, it will gain one level. If a pokemon beats another pokemon of two levels or more higher, it will gain two levels. If a pokemon loses or faints, it gains no levels.
#7- Rules of Evolution
Pokemon that evolve by leveling will evolve when they reach that level. Pokemon that evolve by happiness will evolve by using a heart scale. Milotic will also evolve using a heart scale. Pokemon that require locations will evolve using a star piece. The Eevee-lutions are as follows:
Vaporeon- Waterstone
Jolteon- Thunderstone
Flareon- Firestone
Espeon- Sunstone
Umbreon- Moonstone
Leafeon- Leafstone
Glaceon- Nevermeltice
#8- Rules about moves
We do not limit pokemon here to only 4 moves. Instead, once a move is learned it can always be used. Moves become availible by level, TM, and HMs. Visit www.serebii.net/pokedex-dp/ to see the moves availible to each pokemon, and when they are learned.
#9- Legendaries
Because of our unique plot, there are more than one of each Legendary. Thus they are captureable, though they are very rare. All shiny Legendaries are female, while normal colored Legendaries are male.
#10- Eggs
Pokémon Eggs can be obtained through various ways. They will hatch when a mod feels it is ready. This will be depending on how long you've had them, how much about them you put into your posts and for how long. This will take a month maximum. For example, person A and person B are both given Poochyena eggs. A holds it and includes it in every post for a whole route, and hatches it after a week. B forgets about it until it hatches a month after getting it. How will you do?
#11- Moving around the region
Once your character has passed through an area, they can return there at any time. This means you might have your character walking down Route 13, and then jump way back to the first gym. This is to save the time of having to post your character back tracking. So put more simply, after you pass through an area the first time you have unlimited access to that area.
