Welcome to the World of Pokémon ~ Kanto Edition (SIGN-UPS CLOSED - RESULTS ANNOUNCED)

[Master Mew]

Spoiler

What is it?

Welcome to the World of Pokémon: Kanto Edition is Kanto the way you remember it, the world of Pokémon was fresh and new, there were 150 + 1 Pokémon, there was only one Legendary Trio, only one Evil Team, and all the aspiring Pokémon Masters gathered on the same hallowed ground: The Indigo Plateau.

This story will chronicle the journey of a small group of new Pokémon trainers as they explore the vast expanse of Kanto, challenge Gym Leaders, catch new Pokémon, make new friends, and eventually challenge the one and only Pokémon League.

Are you ready...?

The Rules

Spoiler

1. No 'Godmodding'

Don't give your character (or his/her Pokémon) 'godlike' abilities, such as dodging every attack or 'by chance' stumbling onto whatever item he/she happens to need at that exact moment.​

2. No 'Powerplaying'

Don't control other players' characters or story elements. This includes 'auto-hits' - stating that an attack was successful. Any physical contact during battles/confrontations should be confirmed by the recipient character's controlling-party.​

3. No Excessive 'OOC' Comments

'OOC' (Out-of-Character) comments should be kept to a minimum, as they tend to clog up the Roleplay. Try to keep these discussions in the Sign-Up/Discussion Thread. Please use the emoticon in rule four somewhere in your sign-up post.​

4. Respect Your Fellow Roleplayers

This should be obvious. :nono:​

5. Acceptance

This is intended to be a relatively small Roleplay with only a handful of members, so please do not be discouraged if your application is not accepted. It's nothing personal, and if you have any questions regarding the status of your application, feel free to contact me anytime.​

6. No Reservations

Your application must be received within the given application window - reservations will not be accepted and do not constitute a 'guarantee' of acceptance.​

7. Follow All Other Rules Instituted By the GM

The GM (Game Master) is in charge of running the Roleplay and maintaining order, so respect them by adhering to their guidelines; if you don't like their policies, find a different Roleplay to join.​

Sign-Up Form

The Sign-Up Form for WWP: Kanto consists of two separate sections: Your Trainer Profile, and your Application. Please note that, if accepted, you will be maintaining your Trainer Profile throughout the roleplay, updating it often with the most current information feasible.

Re: Welcome to the World of Pokémon ~ Kanto Edition

Name: Daemon Somera

Gender: Male

Age: 12

Personality: Daemon is very short tempered and is the kind of person you don't want to anger. He prefers to do things by himself. He has a soft spot for women and will often side with them in an argument. He has no tolerance for people with no common sense. In battle he will often act through anger, and become ruthless.
Daemon is quite a wannabe. When he meets someone he sees as cool, he will try everything to dress and act like that person. This will continue until he finally fits in with their certain clique. Despite his many different outer personalities, Daemon is actually kind of a nerd.

Appearance: Daemon has jet black hair reaching all the way down to his chin, covering his dark brown eyes. He stands at 5'4" with a medium build. He wears a dark grey, zip-up hoody over a black shortsleeve t-shirt. He wears dark blue jeans, white and grey skating shoes, and he carries around a black backpack with three clips on the left strap for his Pokéballs.

History: Born and raised in Celadon, Daemon lived a sheltered life. He never left the city, except for a few visits to family. He often dreamed of becoming a Pokémon trainer, but his parents were greatly against it. Shortly before his tenth birthday, Daemon spent hours planning his adventure, what Pokémon he would catch, what he would choose as his starter, and what route he would take through Kanto.

The day he was supposed to get his trainers liscense, his parents stopped him in his tracks, telling him there wasn't a chance he would be leaving. He was left behind as all his friends left on their adventures.

For two years Daemon constantly begged his parents to let him go, but it was to no avail. A week after his tenth birthday, Daemon snuck out of his house early in the morning, only leaving a note for his parents. He went on his way to Pallet Town where he planned to begin his journey.

Aspirations: Daemon plans to become the Indigo Plateau league champion, or at least a Gym Leader.

Starter: Bulbasaur

Current Party:
Bulbasaur (Male)

Stored Pokémon:

Badges:


Application
Why I Want to Join WWP: Kanto: Oldschool RPs are hard to come by, and the few I've joined quickly fizzled out after just a few pages. Despite Hoenn coming out when I was little, I always preferred Kanto and Johto over it. I barely enjoyed Sinnoh, and I hate Unova.

My Writing Style: My posts definitely aren't the longest, but I do indeed try. I often have trouble fleshing out my writing as much as the many others I've seen. I definitely do have good grammar, being a grammar Nazi...

RP Sample 1:

Spoiler

"But Mom, I don't want to go!" argued Daemon as he threw his backpack on the floor.

"You're going and that's final!" shouted his mother forcing the backpack towards Daemon.

"But what if I get attacked?" asked Daemon, pushing the backpack back at his mother. He slumped down onto the couch and crossed his arms.

"You'll have pokemon with you!" retorted his mother crossing her arms as well.

"But wha--," started Daemon.

"No more buts! Now pick up your backpack and go!" ordered his mother forcing the backpack at Daemon.

"Heheh...buts," laughed his younger brother as he walked by.

"Fine, I'll go," said Daemon finally giving in, "I'm gonna regret saying that." He took his backpack and put it on.

"Good, you'll ride your father's Aerodactyl to the professor's lab," replied his mother directing him out the door.

Daemon walked out the door cautiously and walked to the side of his house where his father's pokemon awaited him. He climbed onto the Aerodactyl and whistled sending it off into the sky. He held on for dear life as they flew through the clouds for about twenty minutes. They reached a small town and landed beside the largest building. He climbed off the pokemon an it flew back towards his house. He walked towards the building and pushed open the door.

"Ah, you must one of the new trainers," said Professor Destiny cheerfully as she quickly got out of her chair, "Come with me." She directed him towards a table with seven pokeballs set out on it. "Hm, one of them seems to be missing," she said as she observed the table. "Well, nothing to do about that now, here we have an Azumarill, Seel, Happiny, Electrike,Growlithe, Misdreavus, and a Sentret. Which would you like?"

"Which one is strongest against a Scyther?" asked Daemon.

"Seel, Electrike, and Growlithe would be the best choices," she replied picking up the three pokeballs.

"I'll take...Growlithe," said Daemon as he took its respective pokeball. He ran out the door now slightly excited about his adventure. "Thanks!" he shouted.

RP Sample 2:

Spoiler

Daemon's Gengar shaped clock buzzed it's alarm, as it rested on his nightstand. He instnatly woke up; this was a day he had been planning for weeks. He had saved this plan as a last resort. This was the day he would be sneaking out, but he wasn't just sneaking to a friends house, he would be running away to a place half way across the region, Pallet Town.

He sat up in bed and looked over at the clock. "4:45," he read, pushing his covers off of his body, "Mom and Dad won't be awake for two hours." He walked over to his closet, where he moved a pile of clothes, uncovering a plastic tote. He lifted the lid off and pulled out a backpack, a few rusted pokeballs he had found in the small forest near the city, a compact sleeping bag, and some bags of jerky. He quickly got dressed and packed his supplies into the small amount of space remaining in his backpack.

He snuck down the stairs, wincing every time the floor creaked. He slipped his sneakers on and quickly tied the laces. He walked over to the table and left a prewritten note in the most noticable spot possible. He cracked the front door open and snuck outside.He turned around and took one last look at his house. "No turning back now," he said, before blasting off into the early morning sunlight.

At exactly 6:45 in the morning, Daemon's mother rose out of her bed, followed by her husband. Their hair standing up in random directions. His mother walked down the stairs, still half-asleep. She noticed the note placed on the table and walked over to it. She picked it up and held it in front of her.

"Dear Mom & Dad,

I've grown tired of begging you to let me start my journe, so I've decided to leave on my own. By the time the you see this letter I'll have been gone for about two hours. No matter what you say you cannot stop me. I won't be back for maybe weeks, but when I do get back I won't be here for long, I'll then be leaving once more.

-Daemon" she read, her eyes growing wider with every word.

"Daemon's not in his bed, is he down here?" asked Daemon's father as he walked down the stairs. His wife rushed towards his and shoved the note into his face.

"We have to go find he couldn't have gotten far,"she said, pulling her husband to the door.

"No," replied her husband, pulling her back, "We both went on our adventures, and we lived to tell the tale. We should've let Daemon go on his long ago."

Other: Master Mew is the most awesomest, awesomesauce like person I've ever met.

EDIT:After reading your section in the Hitchhiker's Guide to Roleplaying, I now know how to write longer posts, and hope to do this successfully.

[Tye Taylors]

Re: Welcome to the World of Pokémon ~ Kanto Edition (SIGN-UPS OPEN)

Name: Tye Taylors
Gender: Male
Age: 15
Personality: Personality: Tye is generally a kind and respectful person, even chivalrous. Though he doesn't always come off to be this way because he can be very tough on his Pokémon. Even if he is tough on his Pokémon he still treats them with love and definitely respect(though not publicly, as it makes him appear "soft"). He is very likable and friendly, always hoping to impress girls or make new friends.
Appearance:

Spoiler

Tye wears a "signature" gray/black baseball hat, a brown track jacket, and khaki cargo jeans. All with his average skater-style shoes. As for his bodily structure Tye is lean and slightly muscular, he stands at 6'6 and is about average weight for someone his size.

History: Grew up in Lavender town, Mom left him when his dad died in war...grew up alone with his dad's money in a warehouse on the south side. (Knows how cruel the world can be). Despite this he was able to tough it out and realize that he should be the opposite of all the suffering that he had to go through.
Aspirations: To be one of the best trainers and to see the world.
Starter: Charmander
Current Party: Should only be your Starter at this point.
Stored Pokémon: (This section should be empty for the time-being)
Badges: (This section should be empty for the time-being)
Application
Why I Want to Join WWP: Kanto: I am in a few other journey's and have been looking for a lasting one, and a good one at that. You tend to run great RPs, I can only hope that I can be a part of this instalment...
My Writing Style: I tend to write as if I were writing a story, I have generally good grammar and try and use colorful language...
RP Sample 1:
Rogue's Gallery: Without A Trace
"I'm right here" Tye Taylors (better known as Haze) pulled down his hood, thus revealing himself from the previous invisibility. "Pleasure to meet you" Haze said with a nod but still a slightly hostile tone. "So what's our plan of attack?" He asked as he strode to the edge of the building and crouched down. Haze looked over the edge to the street below while pulling up his hood, thus disappearing once again. He didn't want to be seen if they were ambushed before the raid started and with his hood up he was undetectable by almost all forms of finding him(heat, vision, sonar, and even radio tracking).
RP Sample 2:
Until Death Do Us Part
Tye looked out over the city from the top of the Washington Monument, "Never looked better, if I do say so myself" Tye hadn't had much else to compare it to seeing as the world had been like this since he was born. "Things are changing so fast, you know...one of these days...this is going to end in war." Tye adjusted his rifle that was mounted on his back. "And I am going to be ready" Tye had a devilish grin on his face. Tye was fast, like superhuman fast. One second he was at the top of the monument. Then he was gone, he had moved down the flights of stairs in only a few seconds. The Mercury casually strolled out the bottom of the monument.

Buck laid on a couch in the tunnel that he called home, his shotgun rested on his chest. There was a scurrying noise in the darkness a few feet away. "Who's there?" there was no answer..."Whatever" He drew his gun and a bright light burst from the barrel. A now dead rat laid on the ground. "Nothing to worry about, at least it wasn't a Fader" Buck fell back to sleep with his shotgun in his hand.

Re: Welcome to the World of Pokémon ~ Kanto Edition (SIGN-UPS OPEN)

Name: Luke Lecarde

Gender: Male

Age: 14

Personality: Luke is a fun-loving and mischievous prankster. But he is also nice, loyal and brave enough to be willing to fight for his friends and his families. He likes to play pranks, and is also quite a pickpocket. He takes these traits from his families, the Lecardes. Because of his mischievous ways, he's not on good terms with some people. He's a pretty nice guy, but one should always keep one hand on your wallet when he's around and never give him access to shaving cream unless you want to find your sleeping bag full of it.

Appearance: Luke is described as a tall, handsome with short-cropped sandy blonde hair, blue eyes, athletic-looking, and has a sneaky look like his brothers and all Lecarde families, but good-looking features. Many girls are attracted to him, and the only thing not attractive on Luke is a thick, deep pale scar that runs from the bottom of his eye down to his chin. It is said that the scar was created by a Scyther. He got a sarcastic smile and a gleam in his eyes. He love to wear his blue T-shirt with 'I Love Game Corner' written in white, Jeans, and a pair of black converse with blue lace.

History: Luke was a boy who believes in Kick butt first, ask questions later. This boy was born and raised in Vermillion City, in a not-so-fancy cottage near the beach. He has 2 brother and a sister, and they all looks alike. Luke's father, Lucas Lecarde, works as a frontier brain in Sinnoh. Luke dreamed to be as skillful as his father, and thus, he begged his mom to let him travel across Kanto. At first, his mom won't let him go because she thinks its too dangerous, but Luke is a clever boy, he wrote a fake letter that says his father let him go on his journey, and luckily, his mom believes that the letter is from his husband.

Aspirations: Elite Four

Starter: Charmander (Male. Nicknamed Vulcan.)

Current Party: Charmander

Stored Pokémon:

Badges:

----

Why I Want to Join WWP: Kanto: Because, all the journey RP I've joined die out so quickly, and Kanto is my second favorite region ever. Also, you're a good GM, and I know all of your RP managed to reach more than thousand posts, that's why I joined the RP.

My Writing Style: well, I'm not the best roleplayer you'll see, since english isn't my first language and I'm not that good with Grammar. However, I will try my best to be as descriptive as possible.

RP Sample 1:

Spoiler

*RING!!!* *RING!!!!* *RING!!!* a loud, annoying ring of an alarm clock echoed across the dark, messy room of Luke Lecarde. The boy yawned loudly and smashed his alarm clock "ugh.." He rubbed his eye with his hand and walked to the door with minor difficulty. He switched the light on, and his room went bright. Luke looked at the clock, crap! Its 9 AM already. that's okay. I always wake up late anyway. he thought. He walked to his wardrobe next to his bed, he took off his pajamas and put on his blue shirt, and his jeans. The boy then approached the door, and turned the doorknob and he could smell a... Familiar aroma. smells like Mom's pancake! Luke's mouth twisted upward in a smile and rushed to the dining room. He sat down on his chair as his mom put the pancake on his dish. "Morning mom." Luke said to his Mom as he added maple syrup to his pancake. Luke's mom, Luna Lecarde, just smiled and sat next to his son. Her long, honey blonde hair was kept on a ponytail "Ready for today?"
"Of course!" Luke responded. His mouth is full of pancake.
"Very good. Don't forget, professor oak will be waiting in his lab, and be careful on choosing your starter."
"Yeah, don't worry!" Luke finished his breakfast and got up of his chair. he sprinted toward the door and put on his running shoes. Luke's mom approached him and gave him a tiny kiss on his forehead. "Be careful! Don't forget to write me and come home once in a while."
"I will!" Luke opened the door and get on his bike, he started cycling towards Pallet Town. "Bye mom!" He waved to his mom.

RP Sample 2:

Spoiler

Luke bit his lips. Who could have guessed fighting a Nidoran would be so hard. Well, Luke is a new trainer anyway. Vulcan, his Charmander, growled and stares his opponent with a hatred look.
"Alright, keep calm, Vulcan." Luke cheered his pokemon. The Nidoran growled and leaped at the Charmander, ready to deliver a swift Double Kick.
"Now, its the time! Ember!" Luke yelled. Vulcan opened his mouth and shoots forward a stream of fire, straight at the Nidoran. the Nidoran was thrown backwards, but he's still on his legs, ready to launch more attack. "Yay!" The trainer threw his fist to the air. He looked more confident than before, he's getting the hang of Pokemon Battling now.
"Scratch him, buddy!" Luke pointed to his opponent. Vulcan rushed to his opponent, ready to Scratch him, and so is Nidoran, he Leaped at Vulcan, and his horn clashed with Vulcan's claw. Both of the pokemon slid backwards, but Vulcan was faster than him, he launched Ember and it hit the Nidoran directly.
"Yeah!" Luke threw a Pokeball at the wild Pokemon. The Nidoran sucked into the ball. Luke crosses his finger and closed his eyes. The ball shook once, twice...

Other: Master Mew is sooo awesome.

Re: Welcome to the World of Pokémon ~ Kanto Edition (SIGN-UPS OPEN)

Trainer Profile

Name:
Cole Jacobson

Gender:
Male

Age:
17

Personality:
Cole has a more... interesting personality than most, as you'll see.

Cole considers himself a bit of a loner, although he has met plenty of people more introverted than himself. He prefers the company of a book or his laptop to the company of a large group of people, and sometimes gets pretty short-tempered when in the middle of a large crowd, so be careful if you see him in public. Cole also has a bit of a silver tongue, and can manipulate people with words. However, this silver tongue turns to lead when Cole is afraid and acid when he's angry, giving the impression of three different personalities.

First, there's cunning, manipulative Cole Jacobson, modest and slightly charming, as well as mysterious. He generally stays away from crowds and stays calm in even the most dangerous situations. He's a good leader and pretty strategic for someone of his age, and can inspire confidence in those around him.

Second, there's quiet, quick-to-flee Cole. He generally tries to stay clear of any awkward situation and diverts attention from himself in any way possible, whether it's changing the subject or rushing into a different room for a few minutes. Because of this, Cole is considered slightly shady, always avoiding conversations when possible. Even when he has to talk, Cole tends to leave the actual talking to someone else, although he listens attentively.

Finally, there's bold, quick-tempered Cole. He gets carried away in conversations, which generally makes chitchat deteriorate slowly into an argument. This personality slightly enjoys conflict, and will listen in and laugh softly at any argument. This version of Cole is the rarest, as he tries to keep out of arguments of any kind.

Cole is mortally afraid of heights, although sometimes this fear drives him to explore the highest areas possible. Contradictory, I know. He is extremely intelligent, and is the kind of person who would stop and think before rushing into a potentially dangerous or awkward situation.

Appearance:
Cole is slightly tall for his age, enough so that he gives off a slightly commanding aura. He is extremely thin, with no trace of fat anywhere on his body. You could literally count his ribs through his skin, and nearly every bone of his is visible from outside. No matter how much Cole eats, he never seems to put on much more weight or get any fatter. Believe me, he's tried. Cole has a slightly pale complexion that gets even paler when he's afraid. Because of Cole's thinness, his face appears slightly bony and prominent.

Cole has somewhat short dark brown hair. In the winter his hair appears black, although if you look closely you can see that it is still just an extremely dark brown. Cole's hair grows relatively fast in the front, so his eyes are normally covered a little by his hair. Cole does nothing to keep his hair out of his eyes, although as a small child he used to. Cole stopped once he realized how idiotic it looked to have his entire forehead exposed.

Cole has pure brown eyes that are several shades lighter than his hair. It's rumored that a single glare from Cole's eyes can quiet a whole room, although he tries his best to dispel these rumors. He's never said that it isn't true, though. Cole's eyes also almost radiate intelligence, and no one could ever guess how short-sighted he is. Cole normally wears glasses, although from time to time you might see him wearing contacts or neither.

As for clothing, Cole wears jeans and a black shirt, as well as a leather jacket and belt. He has a plain watch on his left wrist and wears a leather necklace with a Fire Stone on the end around his neck.

History:
Cole was born in Saffron City, Kanto, the capital of the region. His father's side of the family was an almost endless line of doctors, lawyers, engineers, scientists, you name it. His father himself was a Sliph Co. executive, similar to many of his ancestors over the years.

His mother's line, on the other hand, was almost the polar opposite. Her family had always been musicians, poets, authors, Breeders, and artists, trying to make the world a more colorful place to live in. She was an author, and had written several romance and fantasy novels, almost all of which had been bestsellers. That was actually how Cole's mother and father met, when she had come to Saffron for a book signing.

If you ever ask Cole whose side he inherited more attributes from, it's pretty obvious that the answer is his dad. He was always very intelligent, and constantly aced any sort of test or assignment the public schools could throw at him. Upon seeing this, Cole's father sent him away to a private boarding school in Celadon, where he learned more in a month than he would have in a year elsewhere. Also something that sparked his interest there was Pokemon battles, and the planning and strategy that went into them. He decided he wanted to become a trainer, but knew that his schooling was more important and waited until he finished high school.

Cole, disappointed by the lack of quality colleges in Kanto, decided he would wait until a later date to go to college and instead focus on becoming a Gym Leader. Thus, he set off on a journey that would start in Pallet Town and end in the Indigo Plateau, and nothing would stop him.

Nothing at all.

League Champion, Gym Leader

Why I Want to Join WWP: Kanto:
I want to join WWP: Kanto because, unlike most journey RPs, I truly feel that this one might last for the entire thing. And, of course, because you're the GM and every other RP by you that I've joined has turned out amazing.

My Writing Style:
My writing, while not always the most eloquent, is something I take a good amount of pride in. I'm a bit of a grammer nazi, meaning that I visible wince when someone uses horrible spelling or writes in text-speak. And while I'm also not the best RPer on this site I like to think that I know how to use words in a way that makes them fun or interesting to read.

RP Sample 1:

Spoiler

Taken from Pokemon Indigo

Cole causally entered the gym, Spirit and Amber trailing behind him. The room was similar to the inside of a cave. Tall pillars of rock stretched up to support the roof, and a path led around large boulders and up a set of stairs to the Gym Leader.

"So, you think you can defeat me?" Brock asked. "Well, I see you're brave, coming in here with Pokemon weak to Rock-Types. What kind of battle would you like, kid?"

"Two-on-two, double battle," Cole replied, and his voice echoed throughout the room.

"Very well, then. Follow me to the arena."

---

The arena itself was a large, oval-shaped room that vaguely reminded Cole of a basketball court.

"Stand back, now," Brock said, and the arena sunk into the floor. What replaced it was a mountain of rocks and boulders, transforming the arena into a Rock-type's paradise. "Let's get this done, then."

Cole and Brock walked to opposite sides of the court.

"Amber, Spirit, show him who's boss!"

"Geodude, Onix, give him a taste of our hospitality!"

Two Rock-types, Cole thought, racking his brain for ideas. If one of them had been a Sandshrew, a good Ember or Fire Spin might've taken it out. But Brock is probably going to use a primarily offensive strategy, which means it doesn't matter who I target first.

"Amber," Cole said, "Use Confuse Ray on Geodude!! Spirit, Sand Attack on Onix!"

"Amber launched a flashing blue-and-purple at Geodude, who immediately stopped and sat, mesmerized by the lights. Meanwhile, Spirit flapped his wings and sent a great cloud of grit and sand at the Onix's eyes, which were now screwed shut.

"Gah," Brock said as his Pokemon were hit. "You have a good strategy, I'll admit, and those Pokemon look higher leveled than those of most Trainers who come here. Geodude, Tackle! Onix, Bind!"

Geodude proceeded to slam his head into the nearest boulder multiple times, while Onix dove randomly and ended up several meters away from the nearest enemy.

"Switch it up, you two!" Cole commanded; Adrenaline was making him feel almost giddy at his enemy's moves failing. "Amber, Confuse Ray on Onix! Spirit, Sand Attack on Geodude!" Both performed their moves well, leading to two confused and blind Rock-Types.

"I'm not even going to pretend this is going to work," Brock admitted. "Geodude, Tackle! Onix, Rock Tomb!"

Geodude actually managed to charge in Amber's general direction, but a simple sidestep left it running headfirst into a pillar of rock. Onix, on the other hand, attempted to use the Rock Tomb on himself. And missed.

"Amber, use Ember on Onix! Spirit, keep hammering down Sand Attacks!"

And so it went on, miss after miss and Sand Attack after Sand Attack, until Cole walked out of the Gym admiring his new Boulder Badge. He'd only needed to use one Potion, when one of Onix's Rock Tombs had landed successfully and Amber had almost fainted. But now Cole rushed into the Pokemon Center to heal his Pokemon, and then he would be training until evening, when he would go watch Camille at her Contest.

RP Sample 2:

Spoiler

Two RP Samples, MM? If it was anyone but you, I'd give up on the form right now.

In all seriousness, sorry if this seems shorter than the other, I'm going to be writing it now as opposed to copy-pasting it from an already-existing RP.
_____

Cole Jacobson. Seventeen years old, and therefore much older than most who are just beginning their Pokemon journeys. This was due to his father - a Sliph Co. executive - wanting him to finish his schooling first, and his wholehearted agreement.

Despite this, Cole now sprinted through the Grass of Route 1, sometimes hopping onto a fence to avoid the tall grass. Occasionally a Rattata would emerge from the grass and peer curiously at the sight of him, balancing precariously on the unstable fence.

Fifteen minutes later, Cole arrived in the small Pallet Town, confused as to where Oak's lab might be. He soon located the squat, white-bricked building and walked around to where he assumed the door would be.

Pallet Town itself was a rather charming town, with it's compact rows of houses and a small beach at the southern area. The lab was located a good twenty meters from the ocean, which seemed to stretch on forever. In the distance, Cole could just make out Cinnibar Island, location of the seventh Gym.

However, Cole wasn't here to sit on the beach and watch the waves. He spun around, strode up to the door, and gave three short, precise knocks.

MM, you are amazing.​

Re: Welcome to the World of Pokémon ~ Kanto Edition (SIGN-UPS OPEN)

Do we have to use a starter? I don't really have a problem but I hate having the same pokemon as other people and I REALLY like Cleffa/Clefairy as a starter

Your Sign-Up is incomplete, please add the missing fields before the Sign-Up Closure Date to be considered for approval.

@Clefabled

Yes, a standard starter is required. Don't worry, though, you won't have the "same" Pokémon as everyone else, every Pokémon has its own distinct personality and characteristics that make it unique. Plus, you'll be catching tons of other 'mons later on, I'm sure. ;-)

All the Best,
Master Mew

Re: Welcome to the World of Pokémon ~ Kanto Edition (SIGN-UPS OPEN)

(INSERT EMOTICON THAT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO MAKE)
Name: Alex Luveux

Gender: Male

Age: 16

Personality: He is a generally grumpy person, who can be pessimistic and put down ideas. He can be cheery and helpful when he wants to be, but that is mostly when hes around girls. He cares deeply for pokemon, but people not so much. His best friend is Coal. Alex is mostly a ruffian sort of person, who thinks problems will only be solved by taking action (or punching someone), and just talking about something wont do anything. He is terrified of large bugs and pokemon with sharp claws because of this he holds his scar when he sees one.

Appearance:

Spoiler

Height: 6'6
Weight: 141 lbs
Eyes: Cyan
Hair: Jet Black and spiky
Top: Black V-neck with a large purple X on the front
Bottom: Dark blue skinny jeans with a pair of purple converse
Voice: Jagged toned english with a small french accent.
Skin: Pale in winter, Tan in Summer
Extra: Pierced eyebrow, scar up right arm

History: Alex was born in the Azalea Town, and his mother quickly moved them to Cinnibar Island to get away from his father. He was never allowed to go anywhere alone and was accompanied on their occasional vacations. Alex's mother is very over-protective and she would never let him leave home without her. At age 16 years old, she finally allowed him to leave on an adventure; BUT, under one condition, He must call regularly, and he must not talk to strangers. He is very well known around a few cities in Kanto and has a reputation for being the "Mr. Downer" in Cinnibar Island. He has a tight bond with his pokemon and they rarely give up. Try not to ask him about the scar on his arm.

Aspirations: Alex's biggest dream is to become a gym leader, as his mother was once a flying type gym leader and he wants to be like her one day.

Starter: A male Charmander named Coal

Current Party:

Stored Pokémon: n/a

Badges: n/a

Application

Why I Want to Join WWP: Kanto: Because it doesn't look too over-packed, kanto is a region I know like the back of my hand, and roleplaying is something I like to do on Neopets, although I have never done it here.

My Writing Style: Shortish but detailed/Third person limited

Spoiler

RP Sample 1:(This isn't really like what my FIRST post would look like, more like just a random post)
"Coal!"
The young man called out to the orange lizard. The pokemon turned to face Alex as he approached holding a poke ball.
"This is what trainers and pokemon do, you are supposed to go in the pokeball when its time to rest"
He tried to explain, in a slow, soft-ish voice. He aimed the Pokeball at Coal and pressed the button; the laser shot towards his Charmander, but the beam wasn't fast enough to take in the fearful dragon.
"Char!"
He cried out as he launched an ember attack on the pokeball, blasting it out of Alex's hand. Alex's sympathetic attitude quickly turned into a furious one.
"COAL YOU WILL GET IN THIS POKEBALL AT ONCE!"
He was at the point of screaming; which only scared Coal more. He whimpered and scurried into the brush, stumbling on the way.
"Look what you did, Alex"
The boy grunted to himself as he picked up the pokeball and went into the tall grass to find his Charmander. THe tall grass was nothing like his mother warned, there were no savage old men, no giant monsters, not even anything she had explained. He had figured she must have made all of that up to keep Alex out of the grass.
"Boy." He thought, "I must be pretty gullible if I actually believed that my entire li- AHHH!"
He wasn't able to finish his thought; A Ratatta had jumped out at Alex; It screeched menacingly and lunged back, preparing to spring. Alex braced him self before the swift sound of metal rang in his ears. He looked up at his Charmander, the same charmander that refused to battle or get in his pokeball, use metal claw on the attacking Ratatta. He sighed a sigh of relief and then stood straight, realizing it was his time to give the orders.

Spoiler

RP Sample 2:
"Coal! use ember!"
Alex commanded; Him and Coal were practicing Coal's moves to no avail. Coal, once again, ran at the boulder and slashed it with metal claw.
"Yes, metal claw is cool Coal, but I am talking about EM-BER, ya'know? fire?"
Alex tried to explain it to his pokemon, but Coal was only able to use ember once, because he was so scared. Alex's charmander had a problem, the flame on his tail was not much compared to other charmanders, he was quite weak. But Alex would never let that get in the way of training. An idea sprung in his mind.
"AHHH COAL HURRY HELP LOOK OVER THERE! EMBER NOW!"
Alex tried to sound as fearful as possible, trying to scare the ember out of Coal; who quickly turned and ran back into the brush. Alex could only sigh at his pathetic pokemon. He meant pathetic in the nicest way possible, like cute; But cute was NOT what he needed right now. He needed a real battle to set him straight.

Other: I'm the best applicant because clearly, if someone like me loves a cute pink pokemon(Clefairy) as much as you love a cute pink pokemon(Mew) then obviously it was meant to be.

Trainer Profile

Name: Rika Taylor (Named after one of my favorite singers and Ash/Satoshi's voice actress, Rica Matsumoto, and Veronica Taylor, who played him in the 4kids dub. :sweatlol: )

Gender: Female

Age: 13

Personality: She's somewhat cautious and always observant of her surroundings. She loves Pokémon, but is scared to death of Bug-types- especially Beedrill. She's usually quite friendly and will always stand by her own opinions. However, she can get extremely nervous around boys if she likes them. In addition to that, she is a good leader and skilled at karate. She is very intelligent, especially when it comes to anything regarding Pokémon. Her hobbies include exploring and playing with her pet Vulpix. She has dreamed of setting out on a Pokémon journey since she was very young, but her over-protective parents wouldn't let her until she turned thirteen.

Appearance: She has bright blue eyes, straight dark brown hair streaked with purple and green, and pale skin. She's slightly short for her age and rather thin. She usually wears baggy polyester shorts, black or gray sweatshirts, T-shirts, and black sneakers. She also wears green fingerless gloves, a gold pendant necklace, and a faded brown messenger bag.

History: Her fear of Bug types stems from narrowly avoiding a Beedrill attack while walking through Viridian Forest at the age of eight. Since then, she's also become much more aware of her surroundings. Constantly getting beaten up by her older brother led her to sign up for karate. She's lived in Viridian City her whole life and wants to explore the world.

Aspirations: Pokémon Master

Starter: Squirtle

Application

Why I Want to Join WWP: Kanto: I like Kanto, and while looking for an RP to join, this was one of the first I saw. :embarass:

My Writing Style: Descriptive; third-person limited

RP Sample 1: (This is from the first and only RP I've been in before this one. It was a private RP with one of my friends.)
Destiny nodded.
"Pichu, electrocute it!" she commanded her Pokémon. Pichu jumped off her shoulder and hit the Wurmple with a ThunderShock. Although weakened, Wurmple retaliated with a Poison Sting. Afterward, Destiny grabbed a Poké Ball out of her bag.
"Hold on, Pichu!" Destiny shouted before gracefully throwing the ball. It hit Wurmple, who turned into red energy and was sucked inside. Destiny's heart pounded as the ball shook, signifying Wurmple's attempt to escape. Fifteen agonizing seconds later, the button on the Poké Ball flashed red.
"YES!" Destiny screamed triumphantly. "I DID IT! I CAUGHT A POKÉMON!"

RP Sample 2: (From the same RP)
Pichu didn't seem to be doing well either; she fell to the floor and fell asleep. This was the last thing Destiny noticed before blacking out for a bit. When she woke up, she still felt dizzy, in addition to feeling detached from her surroundings and seeing everything with a bluish tint.

Re: Welcome to the World of Pokémon ~ Kanto Edition (SIGN-UPS OPEN)

I have a question- is it okay if Pokémon know moves that were introduced in generations later than the first one?

I'll allow Generation 1 or Generation 2 movesets, but nothing beyond Generation 2 at this point. (A Johto sequel is intended)
