I think I'll be aiming for around 8 characters, but probably won't set a deadline until more sheets are sent in.
Name: Sean Gallagher
Age: 20
Place of Origin: Unova
Appearance: 185 cm tall, slightly tanned, very thin with shoulder-length dark brown hair and brown eyes. He also sports a goatee. Has a somewhat noticeable scar across his brow and bridge and wears a trilby hat (which he obliviously wears backwards)
On the upper body, he sports a black trenchcoat/vest/white shirt combo.
Contradictingly, he wears black cargo pants along with black/red sports shoes on the lower body.
Accessories include fingerless gloves, round orange-coloured sunglasses and a large dark blue/black backpack.
His facial expression is typically a dreamy one with a hint of a smile. Complementing that, his posture is relaxed and he has a tendency to put both hands behind the head while walking.
When excited or when he finds himself captivated by something, his facial expression sharpens, with a flare in his eyes and a grin in his face.
Personality: Easy-going to the point of being called lazy, Sean is a very curious individual, liking to take his time exploring the places he visits and taking notes about how the various kinds of pokemon live there, along with reading about them. As such, he is very knowledgeable about Pokemon in general. As he sees himself much more of a scholar than a fighter, he is generally reluctant to fight pokemon battles.
Generally friendly, Sean doesn't mind travelling with others, provided they aren't too high-maintenance. When irritated, he has a tendency to snark in a deadpan manner, but he isn't confrontational unless that person does something he's completely against (like pokemon cruelty.) Generally, though, he prefers the company of his pokemon, hence why he often travels alone.
Fiercely loyal to friends, he cares especially deeply about the pokemon he captures, treating them more as equals and companions, and when outside of cities he usually has them loose to wander around as they like, provided they don't stray too far from one another.
Sean loves cooking and is more than a competent cook.
Evident by the way he dresses, he is oblivious to fashion.
Backstory: The middle child of his family, Sean looked up to his parents and older brother. His mother owned a pokemon ranch, his brother was an accomplished pokemon trainer making a name for himself and his father was a researcher, who would often take young Sean along with him when conducting research.
When Sean was twelve, his father took him with him to Mistralton Cave, where he was conducting research on the behaviour of the pokemon there, especially the Axew line. While his father was engrossed with his research (as he'd usually be), Sean wandered off and found a pair of Axew. Upon seeing him, the bigger one lashed out at him, giving him the scar on his brow in the process. Ultimately, his father saved, capturing both Axew in the process -both for the safety of his son and the pokemon-.
Having the Axew in the ranch wasn't something that Sean was happy about. He was extremely unhappy about having the pokemon that scarred him living with them. Over the time, though, and with the subtle encouragement of his mother, Sean came to realise that, ultimately, the Axew was protecting its family.
With the acceptance of that fact, a bond between the two grew quickly and, on Sean's 14th birthday, they set out to explore the world.
Achievements: Has travelled through Unova and Kalos, documenting behaviours of various kinds of Pokemon. Has found a Jaw Fossil, which, with the help of the Ambrette Town Lab, has brought back to life.
Aspirations: To travel through-out all the world, learn as much about Pokemon as he can, find what he wants to do with his life and grow enough facial hair to be able to grow a full beard.

Pokemon:
Name: Sol(Axew [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Axew_(Pokémon)])
Gender: Male
Type: Dragon
Level: 34
Moveset: Dragon Claw [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Dragon_Claw_%28move%29], Dragon Dance [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Dragon_Dance_%28move%29], Slash [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Slash_%28move%29], Return [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Return_%28move%29]
Ability: Mold Breaker [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Mold_Breaker_%28Ability%29]
Character: While also generally easy-going, Sol is a lot more driven than his trainer, wanting to protect him and his companions. To do that, he seeks to become stronger. Even so, he enjoys battling (it helps him hone his skills, after all). He's rather playful by nature, and sees his spars with Ragna more as training rather than competition.
Gender: Male
Type: Dragon

Ability:Strong Jaw [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Strong_Jaw_%28Ability%29]
Personality: Proud and boisterous, Ragna wants nothing more than to prove he's the best, which often brings him to conflict with Sol, who he sees as his biggest rival. He loves battling, and won't hesitate to start a fight if given cause (which, given his Hair-Trigger Temper, isn't hard to get).

Ability: Pickup [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Pickup_%28Ability%29]
Personality: The latest addition to Sean's team, Morsomk was caught while trying to sneakily steal food from Sean's backpack during the night and is used to fighting dirty.

And here's my sheet. Feedback is appreciated.
I know the OP permits it and all, but I honestly think there should be a hard level cap for character creation(and that it should be level 30). If battles are going to be decided in a matter even remotely like the games, a level gap of 8 is one that's extremely difficult to surmount, even with a type advantage. Couple this with the fact it's a Dragon type and, well...Neuromancer said:
I'm not against you having a Dragon type, or even having a highly leveled one - just that having a Dragon type that is of a higher level than just about every other Pokemon of the other party members is a little unfair, if you ask me.
Arcanist said:
Hmm, I see your point. To be honest I wouldn't have a problem with dropping Sol's level down, but Axews level up at 38, and I want him evolved because his evolution has changed the dynamics of the relationship between him and Ragna.
But then again, I suppose it wouldn't really matter if said dynamics changed some ways into the RP. So I'll be bringing him a few levels down. 34 should be more reasonable, yes?
No TM or HM limits, all I ask is that your pokemon don't have some uber Smogon set, or riddled with Egg moves.Deu Sex said:
34 is better, yes.Neuromancer said:
(next bit not aimed at you btw)
I jokingly told somebody that they could have a level 50 Slowbro and nothing else, but reality is that if you come to the table with pokemon who's strength far exceeds other players, you're putting yourself at a disadvantage when I pick players.
Having, say that Level 50 Slowbro would technically be allowed, but it would completely break the balancing, and would discourage others from interacting with you for fear of their entire team getting 1hit KO'd.
Looking at these other teams I'm thinking about changing Sarah's Wingull to a Pelipper, since it isn't the strongest Pokemon going around. Can I do that and still have four, given that one is a Magikarp?Josh123914 said:
Well you can, but given its current level how long would it take into the RP for it to evolve?Drummodino said:
Look at my template, it has a Level 28, 26, 19 and 3.
Now, your team has a Level 28, 26, 22, and 10.
Don't look at others, that'll be my headache to deal with. At level 28 your Wingull should be powerful enough for the start of the RP.
I understand the issue here about power creep, but that only means more people within the recommended boundaries will qualify.
That's the thing, Wingull evolves at level 25. I didn't evolve it yet because of the restrictions is all.Josh123914 said:
Okay awesome, I've updated my sheet. And yea, I noticed that "rock" your Bulbasaur has been carying aroundJosh123914 said:
Took me long enough to make this, TOO MUCH SELF AWARENESS IN HOW MUCH MY OWN WRITING SUCKS!
Always good to have friends to remind you on certain aspects when writing though.
Comments on what could be changed is always nice.

Name: Thomas Lindberg
Age: 22
Place of Origin: Castelia City
Appearance: Thomas stands at 185 cm tall, with a skinny build. Has spiky brown hair and green eyes. He typically has a drowsy expression on his face, which is more due to boredom than actual sleepiness.
He wears a brown jacket, blue jeans and a woolie. His hair is long enough for it to be seen while he wears it.
Personality: Thomas is a bit of cynic, though not as much as he once were. Over the years he has grown tired, and the desire to find a place for himself has been steadily growing. Thanks to a certain incident in the past, he is wary of travelling with strangers and much prefers being by himself and his Pokémon.
Backstory: Hailing from Castelia City, Thomas had a tough childhood, his parents dying in a car crash when he was 11. Unable to accept their deaths, Thomas turned into a bitter individual, resenting the world for his lose despite his remarks on the contrary.
Thomas hanged around the wrong crowd and started to bully his own peers by threatening to use his Pangoro, Jojo against them. When Thomas was 17, JoJo got into an accident by saving his trainer from a car crash. This in turn lead Thomas away from the life of bullying and had a remarkable change on him. Thomas was however bullied for the next three years of his life, by his former friends. Thomas thought that he deserved it and it got him in a depressing mood for the last remainder of his teenage years.
Grandma Lindberg had got enough of his pitying attitude by the time he reached 20 and send him off on adventuring through Unova hoping that would improve his mood. Seeing the variety that was throughout Unova changed Thomas for the better and sparked an interest of exploring for him.
After he had finished exploring Unova, he decided to buy a ticket to Hoenn to see the beaches and the wildlife there. Grandma Lindberg decided to send her Torterra Jips with him with, just so that she could be sure that Thomas wouldn't get himself in troubles over in Hoenn.
Achivement: Explored Unova
Goal: Have fun in Hoenn.

Pokémon: Jips (Torterra)
-male
-Grass/Ground
-Too old for fighting so lvl is irrelevant
-Is a traveling companion
-is not officially own by Thomas
-Character: Thomas grandmother is Jips trainer and has been for the last 50 years. Jips also was Thomas first encounter with a Pokémon and has known Thomas for most of his life. Though Jips has gotten to age where he is unable to do battle, Thomas grandmother still asked Jips to keep Thomas safe on his journey. Jips has a rather gentle and patient personality, preferring to take a slower route when dealing with something. Jips also has a penchant to mainly eat fruits than anything else, particularly those of the sweeter kinds.
Pokémon: JoJo (Pangoro)
-Male
-Fighting/Dark
-lvl 32
-Moveset: Ice Punch, Circle Throw, Foul Play, Slash
-Ability: Iron Fist
-Character: Thomas was given JoJo by his parents as an egg before they died. JoJo used to be originally more childish in personality when he was a Pancham. He evolved into a Pangoro back when Thomas was hanging around wrong crowd. JoJo has a rather relaxed personality and shows almost no cases of any outburst of anger, even in battle. Despite the lack of berserk nature that is frequent in Pangoro's, JoJo shows no case of being weaker than any other Pangoro. It might be said that JoJo is more like a Slakoth then a Pangoro.
Pokémon: Mog (Skorupi)
-Male
-Poison/Bug
-lvl 23
-Moveset: Poison Fang, Bug Bite, Acupressure, Thief
-Ability: Battle Armor
