1. Unless you have special permission, you must start out with ONE pokemon between the levels of 1-40 as a trainer. The pokemon you start out with is your starter. You may catch more as you role play.
2. To get a special job(Gym leader, some sort of "Guardian" or "Prophecy" subject, like Ash from the anime), you have to have role played for at least a month on the site actively and then get special permission from an administrator.
3. Just like the special job rule, to be a Legendary Pokemon, you must have role-played for at least one month actively on this site then got special permission from an administrator.
4. As a pokemon, if you get caught, YOU ARE CAUGHT! No trolling and trying to escape. It's your responsibility as the Pokemon to listen and follow your trainer's directions. HOWEVER, it's fine if you don't listen to them for a while, especially if they are abusive. Trainers, be responsible as well!
5. There is allowed only 1 legendary per person.
6. No making your character "super-special" unless in some sort of APPROVED plot!
7. If you are going to be a trainer, you can have up to 6 pokemon with you at a time. Others are stored in Pokemon Centers to be switched out later.
8. You MAY use information from Bulbapedia, Seribii, etc. for information.
9. Try and be realistic with your Pokemon types and moves. By that, I mean don't make a character saying, "My Oshawott is a grass-type and can use flamethrower!" when really, it's not possible for it be a grass-type or learn Flamethrower.
10. You may have up to as many characters as you want, BUT ONLY TEMPORARILY, as we are lacking members at the moment. When you make a character, make sure you know that you are responsible for him/her to be an active character in the role-play, as well as fun and fair! Too many characters at once may lead to inactive characters, and if those characters own pokemon played by members rather than NPCs, the members playing those pokemon may get upset, and HAVE PERMISSION TO "Run Away" FROM THEIR INACTIVE TRAINER. Though, if a pokemon was to run away from its trainer, get permission first so Admins know you're not just randomly running away for no reason.
11. You may only be real Pokemon. If it is a Fakemon, PM an admin for permission to use it.
12. All Admins have the right to approve/disapprove your creation. If they ask you to change something, please do.
13. To become a Shiny Pokemon, you'll have to pm an Admin and ask for permission first. Also, Shiny Pokemon Coloring has specific colors. This means, don't have a "shiny" pink Riolu, when really the Shiny Riolu is actually gold/yellow.
