PokéFiends

Welcome

PokéFiends is an open and expansive multi-region Pokémon roleplay that welcomes both canon and original characters. From the regions in the main games, the anime and side games, and even a bit more, you can travel anywhere.

Be wary, a darkness lurks in the night, a sinister creature haunts the edges of the moonlight. Turmoil brews, traveler, so take your first step with caution.

News

Four months ago, terror held the world in stand still. The attacks on both Saffron and Castelia have concluded... and despite the growing darkness, the people of the world band together to throw an event in the spirit of world unity and the courage to stand against this new foe.

Believe in you, who believes in yourself.

Just another reminder about the event taking place this coming Friday. It will be a week long event so people will get the chance to enter it. It will also have multiple prizes.

I'm glad to see the hype about Orre's Gyms. Makes me all warm inside. And I'm glad to see comments on Announcements. That makes me fuzzy inside. Warm and fuzzy is a pleasant feeling.

We also updated it to Forrest being the leader of Pewter Gym now. Shiay's been pressing me for this for a long time, since the beginning, just as I pushed for Brock. Forrest makes more canonical sense, based on the anime, whereas Brock makes more based on the manga. Either way, Forrest is the leader of Pewter Gym now, though he'd be, obviously, older now. I didn't feel it was of enough merit to give it a quotation announcement, considering the text is scattered in various places.

I'm also pleased to announce the opening of Ridley's shop! Have fun with it. Ridley's §parkz.

The following was added in the Roleplay Etiquette and Guidelines thread. Given it's content, profiles may be edited if you feel the need to add the attainment of a Pokédex in their history.

Quote:
 
Pokédexes
Pokédexes follow a merged form of canons here. In the anime, they are like a license (the same thing as a Trainer Card in game) that allow you to battle against Gym Leaders and compete in Leagues. Without a Pokédex, you may not do this. This section is in two places because of this item's importance.

Your character must be ten or older to have received a Pokédex. If you choose to have your character to start with a non-traditional starter, that is fine, simply put in their history somewhere that they received their Pokédex nevertheless, whether they went and got it from a Professor or it was shipped to them from a Professor or similar is fine. They don't have to have taken the starter, but the Pokédex is their license.

Trainers without Pokédexes may not challenge Gyms or Leagues or Frontiers (a Frontier Pass is also needed to challenge the Brains) but they may still own Pokémon. You can still have a coordinator without a Pokédex as well, but they need a Contest Pass. You can read more, as well about the other PokéTools in the Money and Item Guide thread.

The following was mass added/edited in the Canon Characters thread. There was also some editing on the Elites and Frontier Brains section, and a clarfication of rules for Gym Leaders.

Basic Canons Information
We should also mention that a lot of canon characters don't have last names. If you want to, you can submit one of your own making with the canon you wish to claim. Try to make them relevant or creative.

We allow, also, for you to take liberties with the teams of canon characters. PokéFiends takes place six years post the events in Sinnoh, and even longer since the events that take place in Kanto in the original story line of the games. (This being under the assumption that Kanto and Hoenn games take place at the same time, and Johto and Sinnoh games take place afterward according to them.)

That being said, canon character's Pokémon may be evolved or stronger or both, dependent on the character. Characters, too, may be older, roughly about six to ten years, depending on where you deem their age was in the first place.

For characters with Pokémon that get lost in the canon timeline (for instance characters from Orre that once had shadow Pokémon) we will allow you to alter their rosters up a bit, either by adding a Pokémon similar to what they lost, or by adding in the same species of Pokémon.

Characters With Multiple Entities
This simply covers the fact that characters are often in multiple media. For example: Blue (from the games), Blue (from the Special manga) and Gary Oak are literally the same character. That being said, you have two choices. You can either pick to portray them as one personality, such as Shiay chose to pick Gary Oak over Blue's personalities, or you can merge them. Merging means pretty much one thing: combining their Pokémon rosters and their histories into one.

Now, this can be difficult or easy, depending on the character, and it's entirely up to you what you wish to do. The fact of the matter is, we can only have one of each character. So, because "Gary Oak" is spoken for "Blue" can never come to fruition. Once one personality is picked over the other, or once two are combined, anything left out can't be picked up.


~~~
The following was added to Teams. The ranking system will be instigated shortly.

Quote:
 
How Teams Work
Teams work very simply. You can do pretty much as you please with your Team character, theft however should be agreed upon by the user of the Pokémon your stealing.

Ranking too effects your influence in the Team. Bosses with hand out missions to members. You can have your character never go up in rank, it's completely up to you, but if you want to be more plot central, you can go up in rank and join in with more influence when Bosses release missions concerning the plot of PokéFiends.

To go up in rank you simply go to the boss and request a Ranking mission. They will give you one, and should you completely it, you'll go up in rank, ranging from a lowly Grunt all the way to an Admin.

Interesting. Guess Luna needs to go about getting a Pokedex at some point...
(I'm so happy, I figured out what "task" to go with the Orre leader I want to apply as xD ...just did not think of a location, sheeeet...will do that tonight)

Forrest = Brock's dad? can't remember x.x (will have to fix Rockelle's profile, now, lol)

If you want to physically have her obtain it in the RP that's fine, or if you want her to already have it, that too is fine. XD It's up to you, given with how late we're adding that tid bit. I think it was somewhere on the Item Guide, but it fits more fluidly into the Guidelines so I put it there too. Again, entirely up to you wether you want her to have it now or latta.

Forrest is his little brother. Since Brock has been traveling so much, and ultimately wants to be a breeder, he handed over the responsibilities (and his Onix (which evolved to a Steelix under Forrest's care) and Crobat and Geodude) to Forrest. Their Mother (Lola) had run it for some time during Brock's travels, but it ultimately goes to Forrest. (It's covered in a single episode, I bet Shiay has a link to it on that site online somewhere, I'll find it for you.)

I wouldn't mind her already having it now xD (Luna and Ray never got their items part added, anyway) but her and Ray being part of Team Galactic, it might be more climactic for her to go about obtaining one (as say for a mission or something, never know).



Aaaah, okay. Yeah, I remember the episode now. If I've seen it, I will remember everything...I'm just aweful when it comes to names/faces half the time.

Haha, I added those today, actually. :D;; I thought Shiay might, because she approved them, but apparently she doesn't mind that my post count is climbing and murdering hers~ *singsong*

I have Luna and Rockelle both Dexs, but I wasn't sure on Ray, so I left his out. I put a question mark by Luna's, so if you want, you can have me take it off. I don't see why it would be a problem for Team members to get it via a mission. In fact, I'll add that to the write up on the Etiquette. It makes sense considering I doubt that all of them start off going to a Professor, and I bet the Teams would steal 'em.

I saw that right after I posted x3 (**was using school computer and it was being slow to load stuff)

You could go ahead and remove Luna's 'dex if you want. It kinda sounds exciting to have her go about obtaining one as a mission or something xD As for Ray...he'd probably end up applying for one anyway because he's such a nerd (and studies Pokémon as a hobby, despite it being his job), so...he'll go about contacting a Proffesor when he's not being dragged around.

Pff. D: That would be cheating.

And okay~ I'll go ahead and remove it from Luna's. Pokedex obtainment shouldn't really be a problem, the only limit on them is if you lose it, it's lost (though you would have to RP yourself losing it) and it's gone forever, and you have to be ten or older to get on in the first place.

*is rambling*
