Welcome to the Kimchi Region! This is a Pokémon role-play guild for anyone who wants to have fun with Pokémon. As a guild we are quite organized and have worked out a detailed system for RPing as both humans and Pokémon. Please take a moment to read the rest of the homepage and rules as you will find both important information about the guild as well as the password that is required for entry.
As of 2021, The Kimchi Region is heavily under renovation to both include the new Sword and Shield additions as well as making the guild an overall more enjoyable place to roleplay. We are still accepting join requests however, and are more than happy to have you even during construction. Thank you for your patience!
Please note that this is NOT a stat based guild. All battles will be fought with RP skill being the main determining factor. Weaknesses and resistances do apply, but again this guild is NOT stat based.
Disclaimer. This is simply a role playing guild based off of the Pokémon manga by Hidenori Kusaka and the games by Nintendo. Please support the official release.
