Note that this is a somewhat serious thread.
After getting the urge to pick up Pokemon again, I decided that an RP thread would be kinda fun. It was originally going to go up on the Agora, but that board seems to be having some problems right now.
To start, simply PM me with a bio for a character. Give as much or as little information as you'd like. You may list a few starting pokemon as well, but note that the auto-balance system will be in effect (the mons will be as strong as the plot demands) Here's an example of a decent enough bio sheet:
Name: Matt
Trainer Elite
Matt is a journeyman Pokemon trainer who travels the world, searching for opponents and adventure. He tends towards physic and fire types, but usually tries to keep a mixed team equally trained. His primary team is currently a Charizard (fire dragon), Alakazam (psychic), and a Torterra (giant turtle with a tree growing on its back). Matt prefers to train himself and his Pokemon hard, getting past disadvantageous type with sheer power.
Once I've gotten a few bio sheets, I'll write up start positions and we can go from there.
Character information (probably not updated):
Name: Seiko
Beginning-intermediate Trainer
Seiko has been working with pokemon for a little while now, and while he does have a talent for working with them, he's still new to the whole thing. His two Pokemon include his Kirlia (psychic) and his Growlithe (fire dog). His attitude towards them is very friendly, he considers them his friends just as much as other people. As for training, he's a knack for teaching the right kind of things, though when it comes to fighting, he tends to over-analyze, checking and rechecking to see if its a good idea. When pushed into a corner and going off instinct, he's much better.

Our heroes find themselves locked in offices turned prison cells without any of their precious Pokemon.
