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.

Climate

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.

Hey guys, it's been awhile! Sorry about my sudden disappearance from the board. I had holidays and school started directly after that. My apologies.

Anyways, I've been picking at things around the board here or there, updating tiny things. But today I changed a bit that needs to be announced.

First off, I made the default profile format the fancy one with the quote-box coding. And rather than having to make people update retroactively, I updated everything already. So profiles are now unified into one format. (If you find your Powers/Abilities section has wandered down your profile, worry not. It's been moved under Personal History, where it's going to be by default on the coding.)

Secondly.

I have updated the rules for custom Pokémon.

1) You can use sprites and art that you found elsewhere or that doesn't belong to you, but you have to cite it. Unlike characters, we don't allow unknown artists. You must credit the maker of the sprite and the artwork.

2) They must originate from somewhere else in the world OR one of the smaller, canonical regions (Rota, Almia, Fiore, Orre, etc.; anything not from the main games).

3) If a Pokémon's base stat total adds up to 600, you must roleplay out catching that Pokémon. The creator of the Pokémon is allowed one free grant (they can have one character get one without roleplay), after that, they must roleplay to catch more of that Pokémon too.[/b]

And the biggest change.

4) You are allowed to make evolutions of existing Pokémon, provided that should a canonical evolution for them come out, your creation is treated as a branched evolution. You may not created evolutions for the following Pokémon: (Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, Pikachu, Chikorita, Cyndaquil, Totodile, Treecko, Torchic, Mudkip, Turtwig, Chimchar, Piplup, Snivy, Tepig, Oshawott, Chespin, Fennekin, Froakie).


Other than that, that should free up creation a bit. Have fun, guys~

Forgot to mention.

Canons From Other Fandoms - - - - - - - - - -
So, basically this has been happening for awhile on the board. But there has never been an official ruling on it. you are allowed to make canons from other fandoms and bring them into the Pokémon fandom on this board. You must adapt them to fit the Pokémon universe.

So while you may like Goku, there is no such thing in the Pokémon world as a Super Saiyan or Dragon Balls or such. There's no such thing as vampires, or known aliens (that aren't Pokémon), or talking magical ponies, or Spartans (in the Halo sense).

Allowances are made if you can adapt it to the system we have here. Technology is significantly more advanced in the Pokémon universe than it is an ours, and Psychic and Aura powers exist. So things can be adapted to fit the universe. If you have trouble with it and really want to bring a character in, post in the Cbox, maybe someone can help you out.

As a note, you can't port in a canon who's face has already been claimed to represent another character, so check the Face Claim thread before applying.
