General Rules
1. Courtesy
* Please respect the other rpers.
* That would mean no flaming others or harassing others.
* No fighting
* If you have a problem with another rper, tell an admin or mod first. We’ll try our best to solve things.
2. Please make sure what you type is literate
* Use good spelling and complete sentences that make sense.
* You don’t have to have the best English in the world, just make sure others understand what you say.
* DON’T USE CHAT SPEAK. Things like lol and brb are okay, but don’t reply completely in chatspeak all the time. It can get confusing to understand.
3. Don’t double post
* Use the edit button if you need to fix something. If you post things repeatedly it looks spammy.
4. About reserving and reserve threads.
* If you’re going to start a thread, please type in the people you want in the thread. Example: For Alfred and Roderich only.
* You can still have threads open for anyone to join, make sure to type in something like “Open for everyone” or something along those lines.
* Please respect reserved threads, don’t go in if you’re not supposed to be there.
5. No one-liners
* When you reply to someone, don’t just reply in one sentence or word.
* Though long replies are nice, you can always just do a reply in a paragraph at least.
* Sometimes a short, well detailed paragraph is better than 3 paragraphs of nothing.
6. No God Modding
* You can’t control what other rpers do. Stick to your own character.
7. Posting order
* Try to post in order so we don’t have a cluttered thread or so other people in the thread can have time to reply.
* Example: First Elizabeta posts, then Gilbert, Antonio, then back to Elizabeta.
8.Try to stay active
* Try to post at least every two weeks. This is to avoid having dead threads.
* If you know that you won’t be able to post, make sure to make a hiatus post. We know people get busy in lives and have other things to do.
Concerning Pokémon and pokémon battles
9. You must have a pretty good understanding of pokémon
* You don’t need to be an expert, but you should know at least what moves a certain pokémon can learn.
* Check move sets on websites such as serebii.net or Bulbapedia.
10. Pokémon teams
* You can’t have more than 6 pokémon; try to have at least 3 pokémon on your team. There is a thread that keeps track of teams. You can either post there with changes or tell an admin or mod.
* You must start off with a starter: charmander, bulbasaur, squirtle, chikorita, cyndaquil, totodile, torchic, mudkip, treecko, piplup, chimchar or turtwig.
* Don’t have the same pokémon for your whole team, you can’t have an entire team of magikarp or fearow for example.
11. Pokémon move sets
* Like in any pokémon game, each pokémon may only know four moves at a time.
* On that note, Don’t change your pokémon’s move sets every time you rp, try to imagine what it would be like in the pokémon world, only changing moves through leveling up or TM’s and HM’s.
* Make sure your pokémon’s moves make sense. For example, a magmar can’t learn surf or a caterpie can’t learn hyper beam.
12. Relevance of pokémon to the character
* The pokémon don’t have to completely related somehow to your character. For example, Ivan can have a fire-type pokemon if he wants.
13. Concerning legendaries
* Don’t have a team of all legendaries, that seems very god modish already.
* Legendaries can be caught, but only under special events.
14. Leveling up pokémon
*There is no real rule for this, but try to be realistic about how you level up and evolve your pokémon, don’t just suddenly bump up your pokemon from level 1 to 100 in one post or something.
* You are responsible for keeping track of what level your pokémon are.
15. Pokémon Battles
* Use only the moves your pokémon knows, don’t suddenly have them learn attacks out of the blue during a battle.
* Be creative! Use your surroundings! Use teamwork! This makes battles more interesting, don’t you think?
* To know who would win a battle, you can roll a die, flip a coin, use a random number generator, etc. You can also ask someone else to do something like this, if you like.
If you have any comments, suggestions, questions and/or concerns, please comment here or pm a mod or admin.
