Journals are a way of keeping track of your pokemon and purchases. They are like farms and you can make notes about your pokemon, pokemon-related items and even your roleplay progress. You may wish to also write your roleplay character information here although a separate forum will be set up for character profiles.

1) Follow Gaia ToS (No Harassing, inappropriate talk etc.)
2) Every person may only create one thread of their own.
3) You are not allowed to post in another person's thread unless they have specifically asked for comments to be posted in their thread regarding the layout or content of their thread.
4) You may structure your thread in any manner but please keep it relevent to the use this section was created for. I don't wish to see a whole list of MLP, transformers, wolf pets in here because they aren't pokemon. sweatdrop

Here is a structure normally seen in well-organised Journals. You do not have to follow it but if you are a little lost, this may help.

A suggestion on what to post

Index : A list of the sections you have.
About me: Tell us a little about yourself as the user on Gaia, but personal details like phone number/address should not be revealed. Rather, we'd be interested to know what you think of pokemon and what you like gaia for etc.
List of pokemon: Some people have so many pets they make a word list of the pokemon they have, a little like a mini owner's list of their own to keep track.
Roleplay character: Some people input their trainer information here due to their past interactions with their pokemon.
Poleplay notes: A post dedicated to making notes about the roleplays they have been in and their character status. Eg. 'Chatted to nurse joy on monday. Captured pikachu on thurs morning. Went on adventure and met Wilson. Pikachu fainted.'
Pokemon posts: You may wish to add more detail to the pokemon you may be using in the roleplay, such as the pokemon's history, was it adopted or recieved from the wild. Favourite food, pastimes, battling attitudes, status etc.


Remember that the pokemon picture used in your journals should be hosted by yourself and not through our albums! Have fun guys!
