  • Giovanni Farina
    Date: Monday April 1st, 1996
    Location: Viridian Gym
    Music Box: Attack on Viridian Gym

    Giovanni held a Radio in his hand, clenching it hard. "Boss! He's just tearing through us!" A Grunt said over the Radio.

    "What! That's impossible! He's just a kid!" Giovanni shouted.

    "It's true! Oh god! He's com- augh!" The Radio fell silent. Giovanni clenched so hard he crushed the device. This couldn't be happening. One kid was tearing through his entire organization. It was impossible. And yet, he could hear the sounds of carnage outside. The Kid, whoever he was, was getting closer.

    Suddenly, a bright flash of red and yellow erupted and his door exploded into flames. Giovanni instinctively held out his right arm in front of him for protection. Nothing was left of his door but smoke. And as the smoke cleared Giovanni could see a figure in the doorway. A stoic looking boy in a red hat with a Charizard standing menacingly behind him and a Pikachu on his shoulder.

    The boy raised a finger and wordlessly pointed at Giovanni. And then, the Charizard attacked.


In the year 1996, a young trainer named Red defeated Team Rocket, won the Pokemon League, and subsequently disappeared seemingly off the face of the earth. Now, 15 years later, new threats have begun to arise. A group claiming to be the new Team Rocket has surfaced and they've been terrorizing the Kanto and Johto regions. Though they are disorganized due to the seeming lack of a proper leader, they are no less dangerous. Meanwhile, in the Hoenn region, two splinter groups of the old Team Rocket calling themselves Team Magma and Team Aqua have begun to enact their own evil plans.

If left unchecked, these threats could potentially spell doom for their regions or maybe even the world. Luckily, this world is not without heroes. Intentional or not, these young (and maybe old) trainers will have to rise to the task to take down these evil teams.

GM Notes

Hi there friends. My name is BackSet and welcome to my Pokemon RP. I don't have a real title yet because damn it's hard to come up with good titles for Pokemon RPs (maybe you can help me out there). This is technically a reboot of my previous RP "The Very Best" but since this roleplay is not about being the very best like no one ever was, it's just a placeholder title. Maybe you guys could help me out in that regard.

So, like the Very Best, this RP will have two threads, one for Hoenn where you'll be fighting Team Magma and Aqua and one for Kanto where you'll be fighting Neo Team Rocket. Unlike The Very Best, I'm giving you a little more freedom with characters. Go wild with crazy or strange powers and/or origins as long as they have a good explanation and you aren't omnipotent and/or god level. Of course we do still have to have some rules so here they are:


-At least a paragraph. And no, a line and a sentence of dialogue don't count as a paragraph.
-No Legendaries on your team. This goes without saying but some people simply don't know when to quit.
-No overpowered Pokemon teams. I'd suggest limiting yourself to just one fully evolved Pokemon to curb any possible overpoweredness.
-Battles will be cinematic akin to anime battles. As such, all pvp battles will be decided ahead of time by a die roll.
-This roleplay takes cues from multiple sources (the games, the anime, and the Pokemon Adventures manga) feel free to mix and match at your leisure.
-No taking over other people's characters.
-You are allowed to have a maximum of two characters, one per thread. This is to prevent anybody having their characters purely interact with just each other (of course, there's always the possibility of the two plot threads converging via wacky hijinks. If that happens this all becomes moot but even then I'm still enforcing only two characters, one per thread).
-If you have special powers of any sort, you must have some reason for them. I cannot emphasize this enough.
-There are a few rules that are not here that might end up here later after I remember them. Don't be surprised if I suddenly realize a rule that isn't here. Sorry.
-Don't be an ass. Just because your character's a cynical meanie doesn't mean you have to be.
-Original characters only please and thank you.
-Have fun and stay awesome!

I'm very interested although is there a minimum age limit to characters? I love Pokémon but I've never quite agreed with the 12 year olds out in the world alone 😂
 
For powers, could you give some examples please?. Is it limited to stuff that are plausible from the cannon series i.e. Psychic powers for a psychic trainer? Aura for a dude with a riolu/lucario?

Great timing, I just finished my first CS which has a couple of power examples on it.

 
This time, i'm gonna do a little bump. We already have a few characters set, so we can probably handle 1-2 more players, i think
