The Temporary Role Playing Thread

[RockstarComplex]

1. Don't post your Character Sheet/Trainer Card/Info/Etc in here. That belongs in the character sheet thread. francisgts.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=154

2. Stay on Topic. This thread is for RPing only.

3. Starting fights and shit isn't allowed. Battling is, but if someone doesn't want to do what you are doing, then leave them alone. No one is required to battle anyone that they don't want to battle.

4.You are limited to six Pokemon. If you catch a seventh Pokemon, and want to use it, then you must announce in RP and on the character sheet page that you have changed Pokemon.

5. At some spot in your RP, you should announce where you are. Put something like "Location: Viridian City." This allows the others RPing to find you should they choose to RP with you, and there won't be any jumping from one region to the next. If you are in Kanto one second, and Sinnoh the next, then you will be ignored. Announcing things like, "takes a flight from Kanto to Sinnoh" will be accepted. This way you can't just jump all over the place.

6. If you get into a battle with another trainer, expect that he/she may be better at RP battling than you are. Complaining about the battle will not be accepted. If you don't want to battle, don't know how to battle, or know you will lose a battle, then DON'T BATTLE.

7. You can't "own" a Legendary Pokemon. In the anime, they are seen in the wild. They are impossible to beat and therefore must remain wild (plus the fact that owning a legendary would throw off the balance of the planet). You can on the other hand "view" legendaries in the wild. This means that you can RP that you came across/saw a legendary pokemon.

8. Have fun!

|| Is there a plot involved here? If you guys want one, I have a few.||

(I was hoping someone like quantumzed would start the RP, because I really have no idea how one RPs on a message board. You can start if you want.)

||RPing on a message board isn't that much different from anywhere else. You'd just need to wait a little longer for responses, is all.

Hm, I'll wait and see if a plot shows up. Plotless RPs on a message board don't tend to get very far, in my experience.||

(How about this.. The whole world is under attack by Team Rocket/Team Magma/Team Aqua/Team Galactic in a joint-unified operation. Pokemon all over the planet are being snatched up. The police are useless and the government can't keep track of everyone from each group. They have a combined HQ that is hidden somewhere in the world. You are whoever you are and you have been lucky not to have your Pokemon stolen yet. Not wanting to wait, you try to figure out the mystery of where the HQ is.)

^----- Plot of RP.

"Mom!", a young voice yelled from the front room. A woman too young to have a grown son walked into the room. "I'm leaving. You have to accept that and deal with the fact that I won't be around", the young man said. "I know, Scott, but it's hard to accept that my boy is already leaving home and going on his Pokemon adventure", the mother replied. "Just because I am leaving doesn't mean that I am going to be gone forever. I just can't stand by and watch those bastards from Team Rocket (My character is coming from Johto and Team Rocket is in control of that region. There are members of the other teams in Johto, but they take commands from Team Rocket) anymore", Scott replied.

The young mother sighs and walks over to her son. She takes a coat and wraps it around the boy. "It's cold out there, at least take this coat", she says softly. "I will, mom", he responds back taking the coat from his mother. He puts it on and then turns towards the front door. He reaches for the knob but is stopped by a bearhug from his mother. She cries into his back as she holds him tightly. "I love you, mom", Scott said, comforting her. He turns the knob and opens the door. He walks out, leaving his mother there crying. Deep down he knew that she would cry a lot with him gone.

He couldn't allow that to stop him. He knew that he would be a great trainer, and that he would stop all the evil Teams from taking over the whole world. He pulls the lone Pokeball he has from his belt looking at it. Inside he knows his best friend, his Ninetales, is ready for their adventure. He puts his Pokeball back on his belt. Looking up at the ocean in front of him, he decides to start his journey in his home town of Olivine City. "It's time for my adventure to begin!", Scott exclaimed.
