First of all I am well aware of the fact that there is already a Pokemon RP on this forum. It's existence is precisely the reason why this is just an interest. If enough people want join it will happen, if not it won't.

Dear Trainer

You have been selected to be a part of a team of trainers sponsored by our region. There were many young just like you who we have been watching. You however had something more; you have the potential to make a difference in this world of ours. You?re not there yet but with time and guidance you will become the pride of Oren region. Your journey will be filled with choices of varying difficulty. Luckily the one you have now is easy, will you join us?

Sincerely Desmond Farlain

What it's all about...
This RP will take place in a new region of my own creation called Oren. The story revolves around a group of trainers being groomed to represent and protect the Oren region. This region has been recently settled so there is still a lot unknown about it and many places that have been untouched. Pokemon from all existing regions have a chance of appearing in Oren (Whether Black and White Pokemon will appear is up to the players) which means Pokemon teams difficult to make in other regions may now be created easily.

This RP will start off a little slow and the players will be a little restricted so the plot can be set in place. However after the players will be given a lot of freedom. My goal in the RP is to work closely with the players and give them choices to avoid a boring linear journey. This means if you are the kind of person who likes to get up to mischief without your companions knowing you can handle it with me.

I know I haven't gone into much depth about the plot but that is necessary as I have worked hard writings a variety of scenarios and I don't want to spoil them. What I can tell you is that the theme going to be much darker than the anime. Death can and will happen to people and Pokemon who puts their lives in danger. Normal battles will still only result in the Pokemon becoming unconscious so don't worry about accepting friendly battles. As I mentioned I like to give players a choice and because of this there will be many choices for the entire team or and individual to deal with. These choices may have no effect on anything or may change a whole segment of the plot. The important thing to remember is that you always have a choice.

I won't go into any game play mechanics just yet. If you are curious to find out about a specific element that may be a deal breaker for you just ask.

A bit about me...
My RP track record on this site hasn't been to great. This is mainly because even knowing I didn't have the time to participate I tried to convince myself otherwise because I love RPing. I have almost limitless time to spend on this for the foreseeable so you need not worry about me randomly bailing. I was an Admin on a Pokemon RP forum for a couple years so this is kin of my specialty I have already written most of the main plot for this so if I somehow can't post one week I will be able to put it in the hands of someone else in the RP.
I look forward to any feedback/interest this thread is given.

I'm definately interested; I wanted to be in the last one but I think I signed up a little late.

I would like to know some things, like how old are are characters allowed to be? Like, do they have to be 11-year-olds like in game, or can they just be between 11-25 or what?
And what Pokemon can we start with? And how many?

This RP will handle some content more mature than the average Pokemon episode so it's only fitting that the characters can be older. I'm going to say preferred ages are 12-20, this however is more of a guideline than anything. You could have an 8 year old prodigy if you really wanted or someone older who used his/her connections to get into the program.

The RP is about the growth of people and their Pokemon. If they are already in their thirties and have many Pokemon characters will have little to learn and therefore will not be suited to the program. The growth and maturing of a teen character is easiest but as long as a character has room for some character development it is welcome.

Each character will start off with one Pokemon which will be chosen IC. I came to this decision to keep the whole thing balanced. This does not mean that the characters don't have a bunch of Pokemon at home, they just don't have access to them. This decision also ties in with the whole growth thing, a character just getting to know and work with a Pokemon is more interesting than an rock solid relationship that doesn't change.

Hope this was helpful.

*expressing interest*

If the RP will take a more mature approach to story telling and character development, I am up for it.

I gotta admit interest. I do have one minor niggle though, the freedom bit.

Not meaning to doubt or anything, but typically if you give players too much freedom they will just fuck things up. But, as you are saying you'll be hands on with people a lot, I suppose it shouldn't be much of a problem...but it's always going to be a small worry.

Other than that, count me in.

I can express some interest for this as well. I always enjoyed when the Pokemon series got darker, especially in the Gamecube games, so I would be interested to see what you have planned here.

So yeah. INTEREST EXPRESSED!

It will be more crossroad decisions (Given options to work with) rather than a full blown sandbox scenario. Only time players will be completely let loose is when I have given them the tools to work out a puzzle concerning the plot, if they don't work it out in time I will reign them in and make the following ones more obvious.

Well there won't be a problem with this closing. I will be taking as many people who want in when this RP starts as I have a plot related solution (No one will be kicked) already set up to stop it from getting to crowded.

Interest Expressed.

How will the capture of wild pokemon work? Also, will our starter pokemon be limited to a specific Generation?

I think this is enough people for me to create a real thread for the RP.
I will link you when it's up. This will be later today as I have some surfing to do :).

ACHIVEMENT- Interest Found 100gp

Can we start with pokemon from any region or is it specific to that one.

PS: If someone asked this then I'm blind.

Sure why not. I have an extreme love of Pokemon for whatever reason, and I RP like a lunatic for whatever other reason.
