Chim

Scorpio eyed the new arrival carefully. Of course it had to be yet another one that had an advantage over him. Today just wasn’t his lucky day. “Oh great, this one looks really helpful,” he said sarcastically. “Anyway, I don’t have all day. What will it be, Chimchar? Do you want to team up with us or not?”

Mareek is accepted. And I know you can pull off two characters, but PM with some more details. Mareek would've been under 10 years old when his dad got killed. All 3 are full programs. So it's impossible to follow 2 or 3. In the second year a student can specialize more in a certain type if they want.

Battles will happen in the RP thread and not on PO. If you don't know how it works I suggest to check other Pokémon RP's. That will be far more usefull then when I try to explain it xD (Chapter 1 of Surge Story is a good example) .

So you are going with this one, right? Can you edit in your character's appearance? Aside from that accepted. I've updated the characters in the second post! Some remarks: Ok, internet is slow so I'll work on the layout of it later. And I can't seem to multiquote since it takes forever. @Jory: Birthday must be between september 1 and december 31 if your character is 14. For now I'll assume he's 15.(I'm using those birthdays for something) @EXLink: I assume your character running away is the reason why he started a year later. I'll probably use this somehow. On a side note: I see some included personalities. I left that one out on purpose since I like to see how they would react in situations so it isn't mandatory to fill out.

I like it. I'll probably use it for Devin's battles since the champion won't show up that often. Oh and feel free to use music for your characters as you like.

Legendaries are far more powerful in this world and not obtainable. They might appear though.

Omfg I was multi tasking and forgot to include 'appearance' in the sign up format. All of those above this post that haven't included it: please edit it in or use the trainer creator Murdoc posted: http://www.pokemonreborn.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=9960 Note to myself: don't multitask ever again. Oh and you're all accepted. I'll edit everyone in the second post later.

No, just fill in the sign-up format in the OOC. Welcome to the RP. ^^

What do you mean full P.O. with levels?

@K_H: No. It would be too many classes / hours. @Dobby: First 15 levels: 1 battle and 1 training (can just be mentioned). After that 2 battles and 1 training or other way around. During the RP I'll keep the level system updated since I don't want people ending up with lvl 100 Pokes before graduating. (I'll update it in the OOC) Oh and from now on it would be best to keep everything in the OOC.

Hey welcome to the OOC / Sign-up thread for Pokémon Academy. Now let's explore this new region while aiming for our own goals. The idea behind the RP: Ymora Region The Ymora Region is famous for its breeding program. All kinds of Pokémon are being bred and requested all over the world, including by the professors in other regions. Furthermore this region is the birthplace of the new LT-system as well as having the most difficult powerful League. Ymora is located South from the Hoenn region and shares a similar climate when it comes to temperature. It’s warm through the entire year with a very hot summer and frequent rain showers in the winter. Snow can only be found on Snowpeak Mountain which is 24.681 feet high. Because the mountain stands alone people offer refer to it as ‘Lonely Mountain’ or ‘Fourth Brother’. It is located on the western part. The region is almost split in half by a mountain range; Boulder Hills. This range has 3 peeks so people called it The Three Brothers. Between these mountains is Valley Road; popular for being the safest passage from north to south and many vendors along the way. Valley City is located directly in the middle and is considered the heart of the region. Directly south of the Boulder Hills lies the Southern Forest; Ymora’s biggest forest and a part of it is under the Academy’s direct supervision. The south-east part of Ymora is famous for its natural hot springs. The waters are deep and it’s advised not to go swimming there. From the different havens tourist boats make a tour around the small islands. Under these islands is a gigantic underwater volcano that’s still active, causing steam and hot water. The volcano is connected to the natural hot springs on land. The main attraction in the northern part is Cape Ducklett; famous for its beautiful beaches. Many tourists come here to relax and to take the Safari Tour. This tour includes visiting the Safari Park; including a swamp area for certain Pokémon species and Hippowdon Reservoir; a small desert-like area where Pokémon live. History Timeline Licensed Trainer System The LT-system is based on professor Redwood’s paper to change the old system were 12-year olds started a journey. Now they can just go to Pre-Academy (non-mandatory) for three years. However in the year future trainers turn 15 and they still want to go on a journey, they have to follow a 3 year training program at the Academy. They learn everything about Pokémon, sportsmanship and economics. When a student graduates, he or she receives a unique Pokédex that contains the trainer license. It gives trainers the right to challenge gym leaders, participate in tournaments, contests and all other battle-related things involved Pokémon. Trainers will also receive free treatment in Pokécenters. With the system change, the gyms changed as well. Leaders have to meet certain quota to qualify as a gym leader. Right now there are 12 different gyms located through the entire region, under the supervision of the Leagues President (previous champion). Trainers have to beat 8 of them to earn the right to compete in the Ymora League. It works similar for coordinators. The amount of contest increased to 10 and they have to win at least 5 of them to enter the Grand Festival. And last but not least: Breeders that graduate receive an extra Breeding License. This shows their capability and helps them to start their own Breeding Facility or work in one. But what really made this system unique was a Pokémon Danger List. Professor Redwood included certain Pokémon that shouldn’t be trained by rookie trainers. These Pokémon include species that have a rather violent nature, pseudo-legendries and Dragons. Especially combined they’re shown to go berserk if not handled correctly. Academy Head: Professor Craig Redwood Assistants: Rebecca and Brendan. They help the professor with his studies and are usually the ones to show up when he needs something. They also pass on the paperwork in his name. See Board: A group of 11 people that keep a close eye on the Academy. Professor Redwood has to get their approval if he wants to make changes. They are also the ones that might to try and change something but everything is decided by majority rule. Current head of the board: Carolina Welsh. Programs: Trainer program, Coordinator program and Breeder program. All three are playable. Trainer program: Everything a trainer needs to know. It varies from types to items to a Pokémon’s health. Students following this program usually aim to become a well-known trainer. They are the ones going around challenging gyms in the hope to beat the League. Some of them aim to become a gym leader, E4 member or even a Champion. Its very battle orientated. Coordinator program: They learn the same basics as a trainer, but the battle portion is slightly less. They also have the opportunity to perform in the Contest Hall; therefore they have classes orientated on how to make a Pokémon truly shine. This includes moves and accessories. Breeder program: This program is the least battle orientated. It’s very different from the other two as a Breeder usually decides on a certain type. Of course they learn about every type as well as how to recognize different eggs, egg moves (works different) and how to make sure they hatch properly. It’s a unique course that’s offered in Ymora. Breeders use their knowledge to their advantage in battle and aren't to be underestimated. Or as professor Redwood likes to say: "A true Pokémon Master has the heart of a trainer, the eye of a coordinator and the knowledge of a breeder." Teachers / Staff - Devin ‘Drake’ Cadmus. Classes: Dragon Types and Pokémon Habitats - Phoebe Arlyn. Classes: Water Types and Items & Berries - Tyron Silva. Classes: P.E., handyman, supervisor male dorms. - Others are minor characters. (Assistants / Secretary / …) Students -PC’s -NPC’s Academy ground and buildings Academy Forest Available Pokémon / Evolutions / Moves / Battle Strength / Items & Training Ymora League After the results of the first Academy’s graduates, the Ymora League received a make-over. There’s a president (ex-champion) who keeps an eye on everything. Currently there are 12 gyms: Water, Fire, Ghost, Dark, Psychic, Fighting, Poison, Ground, Steel, Fairy, Flying and Bug. All leaders have to meet certain quota before they are given the position. Some are considered harder than others but a challenger only has to defeat 8 of them to compete in the League. Ice and Rock don’t have a suitable gym location or leader yet. Grass, Electric, Dragon and Normal teams are used by the E4 so they don’t have a gym either. Rise of Greadia (RoG: pronounced as Rock) Playable characters: - First year students! This mean you’ll be 15. (Or 14 if your PC’s birthday is after September 1st. Older 1st years need a reason) Keep in mind you can be from any region as Ymora Region’s Academy is pretty popular and has the best educational system. You can have one starter already at lvl 8 before Academy starts. And you can choose between the Programs. - RoG member! Rise through the ranks of the secret organization by completing missions. Your only goal: bring back the old system. Sign-up format Students: Name: Age: Birthday: (only day and month) Appearance: Program: (Breeder / Trainer / Coordinator) Starter: (lvl 8) Hometown: (Can be from any region) Background: Sign-up format RoG-Members: Name: Age: (can be older than 15) Appearance: Starter: Division: (Exploration or combat only) Hometown: (Can be from any region) Background: (Mention how RoG scouted you, you didn’t find them) THIS RP IS CO-HOSTED BY JORY AND DOBBY

Gardevoir and Eeveelutions are rather popular. And during the RP you will encounter many Pokémon so I might give you some options to catch if you can't decide. That being said: Not all of you will have the same amount of Pokémon. I have something planned for all of you on a different occasion. It'll become clear after the first one. Consider it a second 'event' Pokémon. (And yes, you can still choose what Pokémon it is)

“Finally out of that hole,” Logan mumbled. He made his way over to Sid when Ace suddenly jumped on his shoulder. “I think we should head back. I heard gunfire."

“You’re from Castle Mystique as well? I guess we’ll team up since I received the same task. I’m a new member so you probably haven’t seen me around,” Scorpio said completely forgetting to introduce him. Honestly he didn’t care all that much they were from the same Castle but this dungeon proved to be quite a challenge. He figured it might be best to keep the Espurr close since so far he ran into nothing but rock and steel types. “What supplies do you have with you? I only have an apple…” He asked in a nice way, much nicer than he had been until now, but this was the perfect opportunity to see if Pulse managed to collect some treasure.

Yes. I'm still not satisfied with the Academy Grounds and Forest. I've put it later in my still to do list but I'll probably PM you about it in the weekend. Sign up thread is probably going up later today Edit: @Exlink: Yes, you can pretty much build a team you want. I only gave some restrictions in the beginning, but aside from that it's all up to the player.

No species clause. As far as I've seen on this forum people like to have a different team anyway. Besides Eevee doesn't really count with all those evolutions. I was thinking (IF I make a PC) to get a Vaporeon somewhere down the road. But I might go with one of my NPC's.

That's... disturbing. I totally regret doing that. And I can't seem to figure out the answer to unlock the last legendary.

Mega stones are hard to find and won't be available for quite some time. They will show up but Pokémon must be at least level 50 before their bodies can handle the extra energy. And since they are OP: 1 mega per student when they become available.

Yeah same. And Logan was the last one to move so that's why I wanted to leave up to you xD

Typh, I'm going to leave it up to you to decide if Logan and Sid meet up with Nathan or not.

Sigurd didn’t listen to the ranting by the Masters. Even if they didn’t agree to give them information about those ten shards, he would convince them anyway. All these yes or no discussions were pointless to him. He lost his concentration when the Half Orc was about to speak again. Instead he admired the craftsmanship of the table, when he started slowly to realize something. It was when Xavier mentioned the word ‘shards’ again that he remembered. “Oy, I don’t know who that Arcano fellow is, but I’m pretty sure there are only nine Divines.”

Zorua is available as well. Same goes for Hidden Abilities by the way.

There is no species clause. Especially in you join the antagonists. Sure. It's going to be tricky for some events though. Dammit. Busted before I could even start. Edit: I got Ninja'd: @Can't Type: Yes Rotom is available.

Well it seems there is enough interest for this. More than I expected. I need some time to get work out a few more things to do at the start (I only got the big picture planned) and make some minor characters that will appear. The sign up thread will most likely be up by the end of the week. In the meantime if there are any more questions feel free to ask in here or PM.
