"Gotta Catch 'Em All" The Pokémon RPG OOC Thread.

[NamesAreUseless]

Sorry for lag on this RP I'm going to make a new post this weekend. And I'll see if I can't get this baby revived.

So, where's your post Jinn?

Come on guys, we're not even into page 2 of the IC thread yet! This thing has got to live on!

Oh, just wanted to mention, I'm thinking of reserving Blue. He's gonna be a nice "walking the line" character

You don't even know what "patronize" means, do you?

Seeing as the IC hasn't been posted in nearly a whole month, this may not be the best time to be applying for a second character. Perhaps this RPG could seriously be brought back? I hope I'm not the only one who wants this RPG to live.


Characters Application:

Your Name: NamesAreUseless

Name of Character(are they from the comics, show, or games??): [FONT=&quot]Blue[/FONT] (from Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow and FireRed/LeafGreen)

Brief Description of Character (history, personality, etc): Being the grandson of Professor Oak, a well-known Pokemon researcher, Blue has gotten to learn much about Pokemon. However, the life of a researcher like his father seemed quite tedious and boring. Once he was of licensed age, he wanted to become a Trainer. Him and Red, who were once great friends (but slowly became heated rivals in school), would both begin their journeys to become Pokemon Masters on the same day.

Blue was always a step ahead of Red, which gave him confidence. Even if he had lost many times to Red during battles, it mattered little: as long as he could beat the Elite Four before his rival, then he was set. However, it seemed that Red wasn’t all that far behind him, and he would challenge Blue for the title of Indigo League Champion. Losing his position to Red, Blue left somber as ever.

When the Johto region opened its borders to Kanto, Blue set out on a clean slate, with only his Jolteon at his side. He would catch and train many newly discovered Pokemon, and hopefully some day return to the Indigo League in hopes of sitting at that top spot at least one more time. He had also signed up for the position of Viridian Gym leader, but due to his training spent in Johto, was usually unavailable to challengers.

Even though Blue has matured a lot over the last couple years, he still holds a grudge with Red. His ego, though not as big as it used to, is still large. Blue is no longer the brat he was when traveling Kanto however, as he now blames only himself for his past defeats and not of anyone else.

Font (be specific.): [FONT=&quot]Blue Bold Trebuchet MS[/FONT]

Class (Gym Leader, Camper, PokéManiac, etc): Long-time Pokemon Trainer, Rival to Red, Former Indigo League Champion, and Viridian City Gym Leader.

Where is your characters location at the moment?: Route 22, on his way to Viridian City

Starter Pokemon(chose three):

1. Jolteon

2. Heracross

3. Larvitar

If you have more in storage what are they (Max three to start):

1. Raticate

2. Sandshrew

3. Houndour

He also has a Gyarados, Exeggutor, Arcanine, Pidgeot, Rhydon, and Alakazam in storage. However, he refuses to use these six Pokemon for the time being, as he wants to begin his training anew in hopes of a stronger team lineup.

Why have you chosen this character?: He's Red's frickin' rival! He's that guy you love to hate (he's always ahead of you, but you beat him everytime). Hopefully I can bring about this side of him, but now in a more mature way. And I will definitely need him in that arc I have set up ... oh yes ...

Please provide a small sample post: It'll come, but I want to see first if anyone wants to give this RPG new life!

Do you know how to pictures on Hype?:

 

[Scarab]

Doesn't look like this one is still really going but I would like to put an application and everything in if ya'll think theres a chance of it continuing.

 

[JinnSato]

If people actually start posting it could live again.

 

[Scarab]

Well Ill post an application this afternoon then and well hope the chat can continue to go somewhere.

 

[ScarletVenom25]

Well I know you guys are trying to get this thing back up and running, but I'm gonna have to drop out. I just lost the feeling I first had for this RPG, but I hope you guys get this thing back together.

 

[JinnSato]

Well names I'll approve you when I see a sample.
But lets see what we can do for this puppy.

 

[Scarab]

Characters Application:

Your Name: Scarab

Name of Character(are they from the comics, show, or games??): Lawson

Brief Description of Character (history, personality, etc): Lawson always wanted be a trainer when he was little, he wanted to explore and train with his pokemon. That passed though as it sometimes will when the young grow older. Though he still cared about the pokemon
greatly he saw his friends and others in Vermillion. As some treated their pokemon with great respect but there were the few who only saw the pokemon as tools like the team rocket's that always seemed to be running around but then Giovanni was caught and that problem was over. Lawson couldn't just do nothing though and instead of becoming a trainer he entered one of the ranger academies just recently graduating. Before he entered though his grandfather who traveled extensively through the regions gave to him his first 3 pokemon, including his grandfathers prized Houndour, ****outinely stays outside his ball. He now has his three friends to travel wit him on his upcoming adventure.

Font (be specific.): Size 3 Georgia Green

Class (Gym Leader, Camper, PokéManiac, etc): Pokemon Ranger

Where is your characters location at the moment?: Viridian Forest at the moment

Starter Pokemon(chose three):


1. Houndour

2. Zangoose

3. Cubone

If you have more in storage what are they (Max three to start): None in storage

Why have you chosen this character?: The rangers were sorta there but never got much time in the manga or show or games until pokemon ranger came out and I wanted to try and show the other rangers more then them.

Please provide a small sample post:

I stood there at the edge of the woods looking into the shadows of the trees a smile crossing my lips as I look down at my Houndour, Shadow.

Well this is it Shadow. Time for us to see what we got, you with me?

Houn houn...

I smile as I rub his head. I don't know why I even asked I know your always with me.

He nodded his head looking serious as always. Dour.

We walk into the woods on the way to Pewter city. Still sorta nervous about all this not sure what exactly I can do. I spent years though in school learning how to do this and my grandfather even trusted me with his pokemon, I wasn't going to let him down for certain.

Do you know how to post pictures on Hype?!
That I do

 

[NamesAreUseless]

Finally a sign of life!

I'll be sure to make a Blue sample post sometime today Jinn

Speaking of Jinn, his character is in Viridian Forest I think, and Scarab's character is in Viridian Forest as well ...

Do I smell a potential PC vs. PC Pokemon battle!?

I think if more PC vs. PC battles were to occur, this might get people more excited about the RPG.

 

[JinnSato]

Well as Scarab is approved thats a big possibility.
Well whatdoya say Scarab??

 

[NamesAreUseless]

Alright, here's my sample post!

IC:

Blue strutted through the doors of the Pokémon League Reception Gates. It was now the point that connected Kanto and Johto together. The Pallet trainer remembered when it was simply a gate house into the Indigo League, but renovations had taken shape not too long ago.

He saw a door to his right, which would lead him right out onto Kanto’s Route 22. He would be taking his first steps back into the region since almost two years ago. Before he could continue however, a security guard blocked his path. The man looked down at a picture and then back up at the trainer. “Are you not Blue, Leader of the Viridian City Pokémon Gymnasium?”

[FONT=&quot]"Yeah, what's it to you?"[/FONT] he asked with spite. “I’ve been asked by Indigo League Champion Lance that I speak with the Viridian Gym Leader if I see him. They say you haven’t been at your Gym for over a year now.” Oh this was good. [FONT=&quot]"Lance is the new Indigo League Champion now!? What a joke!"[/FONT] “Do you not realize that you’ll lose your Gym License any day now?” Who was this guy to be telling off the former Indigo Master!? [FONT=&quot]"Look, I'm heading for my Gym, alright!? Now let me through!"[/FONT] He pushed aside the guard and walked right out the door.

He took a deep breath, and smelled the fresh air of Route 22. He began to trail off the dirt path and onto a long brick path. Nostalgia sunk deep into his mind as he looked off the road. Afterall, this is where he caught his Pidgey (now a Pidgeot). However, the place also bore memories of grief.

The brick trail was about to end, and when he looked off the trail, he remembered … that second battle …

Red’s Charmander flung strong Embers with its tail at Blue’s Eevee. The Normal-type Pokémon couldn’t stand any longer, and fell to the ground. [FONT=&quot]"I won!"[/FONT]

Blue called back his starter, its fur burned. [FONT=&quot]"Awww! You just lucked out!"[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]"Two out of two: I must be pretty lucky then."[/FONT]

Blue looked down to the ground in defeat. [FONT=&quot]"Pokemon League has many tough trainers ... All I have to figure out is how to get past them!"[/FONT] He looked back up at his childhood rival. [FONT=&quot]"You should quit dawdling and get a move on!" [/FONT]Blue stormed off as quickly as he could back to Viridian City, not looking back.

[FONT=&quot]'No, I won't look back. I didn't then, and I won't now!'
[/FONT]


OOC:

I just realized that Scarab's character Lawson has a Zangoose, which is a Generation III Pokemon. So far this RPG has only allowed Generation I & II Pokemon (partly for lore reasons). Any explanations to him having one Scarab? I won't object to it, since it looks kinda cool

 

[Scarab]

Well as Scarab is approved thats a big possibility.
Well whatdoya say Scarab??

Sounds cool we can certainly set that up. Want to work it out of PM?

And as for the Zangoose I misread the rules when I took him, so I can certainly trade him out if need be. As for the story wise his pokemon were gifts from his grandfather, who had traveled from away from Kanto on his own adventures, before he did ranger training. So if I need to as it did say no III gen and that's my bad for misreading it I can trade him out for something else.

 

[JinnSato]

You're approved Names, and Scarab send me a PM about your GEN III. I'll be happy to work something out with ya.

 

[NamesAreUseless]

Hey, I found a cool site for making Trainer cards. Would be cool if all the characters for this RPG had one t:

http://www.pokecharms.com/trainercards/

Here's what I was able to come up with for my characters:

 

[JinnSato]

Hey Scarab expect a post sometime this weekend. Tomorrow afternoon if we're lucky.

 

[Scarab]

Cool sounds good

 

[JinnSato]

Sorry that took so long.

But heres my plan. I'm going to send out PM's to everyone on the roster after three days I'm going to take them off than those who responded will stay with us.

 

[kang604]

Your Name: kang604

Name of Character(are they from the comics, show, or games??): My character is a made up one, if that is okay. His name is Lupe.

Brief Description of Character (history, personality, etc): Lupe was born and raised in Saffron City. As a youngster, he would skip school to watch and study pokemon and their trainers. His dream was to one day become the greatest trainer in the world. As an impressionable youth, Lupe found himself under the wing of Giovanni and Team Rocket, who dazzled the aspiring trainer with their experience and high level skills. Lupe joined Team Rocket, helping them in many of their nefarious schemes and moving high up the ranks, until he was betrayed when on a mission on Cinnabar Island. Feeling betrayed and angry, Lupe ventured out on his own, travelling across the Kanto region and honing his skills as a Pokemon Master.

Lupe is obsessed with becoming the best trainer alive and defeating the Elite Four. After his defection from Team Rocket, Lupe retreated to Mt. Moon, where he has spent the last 5 years studying, training, and battling. He is arrogant and confident: however he is also fully willing and able to admit when another trainer is better than him. He is highly knowledgeable in all facets of Pokemon mastery. He is highly disciplined and is extremely skilled, as he apprenticed under Giovanni. He is now ready to begin his quest for Gym Badges.

Font (be specific.): Indigo, Bold, Arial

Class (Gym Leader, Camper, PokéManiac, etc): Lupe is a highly skilled Pokemon trainer and is ready to challenge the Pokemon Gym Leaders for badges.

Where is your characters location at the moment?: Mt. Moon

Starter Pokemon(chose three):

1. Ninetales

2. Electabuzz

3. Haunter

If you have more in storage what are they (Max three to start):

4. Geodude

5. Squirtle

6. Hitmonlee

Why have you chosen this character?: Honestly. I havent played pokemon in a long time so i forget the characters, so i made up my own.

Please provide a small sample post: be back.

Do you know how to post pictures on Hype?!

 

[Scarab]

Cool another player. The more the better I've even been trying to hit friends up to join in lol.

 

[trustyside-kick]

As soon as I can think of where to further take my story...I'll consider coming back.

 

[Scarab]

Well if theres anything any of us can help you with to come up with ideas i bet we'd be willing to. I know I'm happy to do what I can.

 

[JinnSato]

Good so you're still in trusty?

 

[trustyside-kick]

Sure. Just, it is hard to want to keep posting when everyone else stops. That's why I stopped playing: the game died and I didn't want to be the only one playing.
