I. Be kind, courteous, and respectful to your other players.
1.1 This game is meant to be a fun and light-hearted adventure. Therefore, things like stats won't be checked, and some facts might be bent to make the game more fun. Please don't take this personally or as an insult to the source material. It's all in good fun!
1.2 Keep everything PG-13 and under, please! If you would like to carry things out, please do so on your own time on another platform. Also, if a user requests that you please edit a post because the content makes them uncomfortable, you can ask why (so you know how not to do it again), but please do not make a big deal over it.
1.3. Create a side thread if you want to extend a scene. To reduce clutter in the main threads, please create a side thread for side-battles or interactions that would take an extended time between yourself and an NPC or another player, if it means you are separated from the group. In my experience, groups are quick to fizzle out if two people are taking up pages for their own conversation.
1.4 INFORM THE GROUP IF YOU CANNOT POST WITHIN A WEEK. Life happens. We get it. But PLEASE if you are going to be gone for more than a week and cannot post, let me or the group know that you're going to be gone. The single worst thing you could do is disappear without a word. The second worst thing you could do is say you're going to post and then not. If can't post because your busy or even if you just don't feel like it, let us know! We understand and we'll simply move on and fill you in when you return. No harm done!
II. Game Rules
2.1 No Legendary Pokemon. It's as simple as that. No legendary pokemon in the team. It makes the story complicated and creates an imbalance between the players.
2.2 Do not ask to play a Gym Leader. Those roles are filled by me as NPCs, not to mention it would complicate the setting and ultimately be unfun for you to play. You'd be stuck in one spot the whole time and be observing most of the game. If you don't want to be a challenger, other roles like contest coordinator or simply someone along for the ride is fine.
2.3 Battles will be relegated to another thread. This is to reduce clutter in the main thread. If it's between players, it would be best to decide who wins ahead of time between yourselves and continue the story in the main thread. Meanwhile, you can act it out in a separate thread. I understand that it's not like a real battle this way, but it would be hard to actually have a battle in this format. If you do not like this method, we could roll dice and decide the winner this way to reduce the clutter and have the actual battle in a separate thread for all the action. Feel free to put forward suggestions!
III. HAVE FUN!
3.1 Thank you for reading this far! I'd like to thank you for taking the time to read the rules. If you have any suggestions or concerns, feel free to bring them to my attention. The purpose of this group is to have a fun adventure in a new region and make friends!
