Introduction
A spin-off to All the World's a Game, All the World's a Pokemon is a casual role-play where you take one character from the AtWaG series and apply that character to a desired Pokemon world. The selected character will embark on a journey just like the regular Pokemon franchise game, with the eventual goal of either reaching the title of League Champion, finishing the Pokedex, or catching Legendaries.
Characteristics
- You may select a Character that you have controlled in AtWaG. If you did not join AtWaG, then you can choose any character you like from any media: Video game, TV shows, cartoons, etcetra. No OCs allowed, they're too complicated. Do note that the Characters you select will not have their abilities in here. So if you want to choose something like Diablo, do note that you can't rampage through towns and steal gym badges just because you can't level up your Bagon up
- You will be given three randomly selected, unevolved Pokemons that you can select as your starter. The background for your Character is all up to you to develop in the first few IC posts.
- Encounterable Pokemons in the route follows the most recent version of the game, with several exceptions where I, the GM, decides to toss in random situational Pokemon just to let each RPer have the optimal team he or she desires.
- Each RPer can select which region he/she wishes the character to be in. Be advised that I will probably restrict player pool in each world to 2 or 3.
- Gym leaders will be the same, except with more diverse Pokemons for added flair and strategy. All gym leaders will be controlled by the GM.
Rules and Guidelines
1.
- If there's anything that I hate in competitive Pokemon, is the allowance of legendaries in some tournaments. They have generally high stats and yet lackluster movesets that makes the game boring and not interesting. Seriously.
- You can still have your character catch the legendaries, but just don't use them in battles.

I have given thought on whether legendary Pokemon should be limited but available on people's parties, and this is my edition.
- Each RPer will be allowed to own and operate ONE legendary Pokemon not in the Pokemon B/W Uber tier list. Such legendary Pokemon include:Spoiler
> Celebi
> Heatran
> Jirachi
> Keldeo
> Landorus Therian
> Latias
> Latios
> Terrakion
> Thundurus Therian
> Kyurem
> Azelf
> Cobalion
> Meloetta
> Mew
> Raikou
> Registeel
> Shaymin
> Tornadus
> Virizion
> Victini
> Zapdos
> Cresselia
> Entei
> Mesprit
> Uxie
> Articuno
> Moltres
> Regice
> Regigigas
> Regirock
> Genesect
> And maybe some I have missed...
- This said legendary cannot be used in post-game tournaments that I might host.
2. No Overleveling
- We don't want your starter Pokemon Charmander to already be a Charizard before taking on Brock.
- Underleveling to a point is fine in extent to add dramatic effect to the battles, but don't expect the opponent's Pokemons to faint easily.
3. No Hax
- PLEASE DON'T FIND RARE CANDY EVERY TIME YOU TAKE A STEP. Once or twice is fine, but 8 times in a row is a bit too much (Real life experience)
- In same case, don't have your Pokemon be caught into a pokeball, full health, every single time. Add some diversity to it.
- Also, I WILL CALCULATE STATS, NATURES, AND PASSIVES IN BATTLE.
- You can only use 5 items per boss battles. You can, however, switch as many times as you like.
- Similarly, don't keep your Pokemon from fainting all the time. They can live with sliver of health, but if you overdo it, it will be frowned upon. You have Pokemon Center for a reason.
4. Connect With your Pokemon
- Give them nicknames. Have your Characters interact with your Pokemon. If you want your Pokemon to enter a beauty contests, by all means go for it.
- If you want, you can have them roaming/walking with you instead of stashing them in your Pokeballs.
- You can also have your Pokemons respond to you in a sentient way instead of having them talk in "Pikas" and other weird noises those critters make. I for example will be following this.
5. Keep your Character's location and time handy
- I wouldn't be too picky about the time, but I need to know your Character's locations to be able to know what wild Pokemon and trainers you can encounter.
Also, even though I'm not adding this to the rules, please try to keep the post quality up. I don't want certain people (Not pointing any fingers at them) give this any destructive criticism just because I see someone type a one-sentence post in a FREAKING POKEMON RP. (How is it even possible? You have so many things to talk about it's nearly improbable to write short.)
So please increase the post length. I know I have to work on this too, but at least note that I will try to make the battles as interesting as I can for you guys(and gals). Doing so will immediately solve the machine-gun posting, because you have to really think about the post you make.
Note that this set of rules will change as the RP rolls on.
Suggestions and Other Shenanigans.
- Since I'm randomly generating three Pokemons for a player, there might be situations where you might be unlucky and get a Magikarp, Sunkern and a Farfetch'd.
Or you might get lucky and get ubers like Deinos, Axew, and Dratini.
In which case, you can file a re-shuffle. Each player will be given two re-roll chances. If you use them all, and you still get stinky set of Pokemons to choose from, Sorry, but your luck just ran out.
- You can post on your application your desired team, and I will do my best to fulfill that team.
- Consider actually coming up with a strategy for this team. Later on in the RP, I might gather up all the players and some more trainers for a tournament, and having some strategy for your Pokemons will definitely put you in an upper position. At the very least, don't have six Bug types like some trainers do. (hint hint)
- This is a casual RP. There is minimal "SAVE THE WORLD FROM EVIL" gimmick in this. If you want things to be comical, go ahead, we love to laugh.
- As always, have fun.
Application process
Your application needs to have the following:
Name: Name of the Character you will be using. Simple.
Example: My character will be none other than Yuuka Kazami.
Appearance: A link to a picture will do. Try not to post a full sized image. It might cause lag for those who use their phone to access the forum.
Example: http://i.imgur.com/d3TZcWU.png
*note: It might be best if you show the image of the Character where the Character is wearing what he/she/it will be wearing in the journey. If you can't find any, just explain it under this subject.
Region: Which of the five (Don't want to deal with X/Y stuff) regions in Pokemon: Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, and Unova, would you like your Character to be in? Give me a reason too. Example: I want Yuuka to be in Hoenn region, not only because of its' water biome and incredible town designs, but because of how familiar I am to this region compared to everywhere else.
Personality: I wouldn't take emotionless for an answer by the way. This allows me to enrich the battles.
Example: Yuuka looks intimidating on the outside, but she always has a soft side for companionship and tenderness.
These are completely optional, but you can put them in as you please.
Desired pokemon team: You can put down your entire desired team, or just give some ideas of what kind of Pokemon you would like to have. Would you like glass cannons? Mixed attackers? Would you like certain Pokemons? Note that I can't guarantee the team to be assembled as such.
Example: I have my entire team assembled.
Fame: Do you want your Character to be celebrities, like Elesa from B/W? Or do you want your Character to be a hidden master, like Red from the 2nd gen? Whatever the case, put them here.
Example: I want Yuuka to gradually gain fame as she battles and beats the gym leaders.
Custom rivals: Do you want your Character to have a custom-made rivals if there are no other Characters in your region?
Yeah, you really don't have to put a lot into this.
If you have questions, post them in the OOC comment below.
Thank you for considering!
