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.
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.
The season is currently Spring. There winter snows have thawed and new growth springs up across the world. Periodically, chill remains in the air, but never for long does it hang about.
Welcome to PokéFiends. We hope you enjoy your visit.

"He won the lottery and died the next day."
Slim and slender, such as to comply with the stereotypical view of Kalosian women, Flo stands at just under six feet tall, her eyes a striking shade of hazel, thin but substantial amounts of hair strand down her face to frame it, short but often kept up in a bun or other compilation using various hair accessories. Like a huge percentage of people with Parisian heritage, she has a paler skin tone. She is frequently equipped with various contrasts of lipstick.
She wears a pinkish-indigo, long-sleeved, knitted sweater dress with creased cuffs, reaching down to above her knees. Mostly always accompanied is her trusty whale-colored jacket, also long-sleeved, it has no hood, and minimally waterproof - it raises at the top to form a 'mane' where you would otherwise expect a hood to be. To accompany her dress, she wears a pair of black tights, accompanied by a pair of regal blue stilettos.
Coming soon.
"It's a black fly in your Chardonnay."
One of those people whose life has been incredibly unspectacular would be the way Floren would describe herself and to be fair to her, that's probably the truth. She wakes up in the morning and barely has breakfast, slams her door on the way out of her tiny, often too cold flat, struts her way to work mulling over how she'll react to her boss being a twat today and then thinking whether or not she turned her stove off for the first fifteen minutes at work.
She's entirely kind-hearted and probably wouldn't beep her horn if somebody cut her up. Well... not likely, she doesn't have a car. Her solitude, although probably perceived as a bad thing, has almost certainly made her a stronger, more independent woman and this fact resonates to all of those around her. She can hold her own.
Longing for the day when she can tell people what to do rather than the other way around, it's her ambition and her ambition alone that keeps her going. A perfectly naturally curious person, if something piques her interest, there's no chance she won't explore it and anything or anyone behind it.

"It's a death row pardon two minutes too late."
Born and raised in the Kalos capital, Floren was and is an only child. Her parents had initially planned a younger sister for her, but the idea went out the window. Ultimately, she was much closer to her father than her mother and he was the rock to which she leaned. At the age of eight, her parents split up and her mother left the two and ran off with her new boyfriend. Four years later, her father died in a plane crash, causing her to go and live with her mother and her boyfriend for the next twenty-four months before boarding at college.
The driving force and ambition behind Floren was spurred in her by her father, who had always wanted her to study art. She knew from the age of eight that photography was her biggest love and forte. It was that photographic dream that she would later follow in life, however, journalism was not the professional field she expected to fall into. Still, she was good at it and it paid the bills. Her father, Thierry, bought her first camera when she was eight.
Once her father died, she inherited enough of his money to go to college. As was his wish, she honored it and stayed to study art by living in. Having spent all of her accessible inheritance on tuition, accommodation and scholarship, she'd run out of money for her supplies and tools. College was hard and she had very little friends there. It was frustrating to be studying art as per her father’s request, when she could just have easily studied photography at the same college instead.
Once she hit eighteen and graduated from college, the rest of her inheritance was now accessible. She immediately moved into an apartment closer to the center of Lumiosé and started paying rent. Within a couple of months, she was employed under Ronnie working for La Liberté. The hours were crap and the pay was minimal, but she knew what she was doing and hey, she was good at using a camera.
She still lives in the same apartment, the same job, but the same ambition. She’s still currently waiting for her big break to happen and will do whatever it takes to get it. All she really wanted was a comfortable life doing what she adores, but so far it hasn't and isn't happening.
"And isn't it ironic - don't you think?"
The below character sample is very long. If you intend on reading it, I suggest you obtain a drink and snacks before hand to help combat dehydration and hunger. The character sample has been colour coded for each character's dialogue to help ease reading. Sentences that are in nested tags (<'s) are first-person thoughts of the character. Whenever you see a line of -'s, this indicates a drastic change in scene or time to prevent confusion. Lastly, the character sample contains adult themes, foul language, minor blasphemy, references to real events, real world history, varying language changes and a general lack of Pokémon-related content. Happy reading.
« Lumiosé. City of love, romance and dreams. So they say. I used to say too - but ever since that day, the day of the murder, I’ve always associated my beloved Lumiosé... with death. »
