Here's some basic guidelines to help you in your Pokemon journey.

When battling:
1. It'll be RP style.
Ex. "Bidoof! Use tackle!" Bob yelled. "Bid Bidoof!" Bidoof cried as it charged at Meditie. (You don't have to do the Pokemon's cry.) "No!" Billy shouted. "Meditite! Protect your self with detect!"
2.Pokemon Rangers will be the officials of all Gym and league battles. If you meet a trainer on a route who wants to battle, no refereeing.

When you're a Pokemon:
1. You can be shiny or normal, whichever you like.
2. You can live anywhere you want, as long as it's reasonable. No Leafeons living in volcanoes.
3. When captured, you can stay outside your Pokeball and RP. You'll just have to stay by your trainer.
4. You can choose whether you're captured or not. Unless they use a Master Ball. If you choose not to be captured, the trainer doesn't lose their Pokeball.
5. You ca talk in human language if you're a Legendary, or Lucario.

When a trainer:
1. You'll choose a starter from the list. (Which I'll provide.)
2. To level up a Pokemon, it'll go like this.
Level:
1-10: 5 posts a level.
11-15: 6 posts a level.
16-20: 7 posts a level.
21-25: 8 posts a level.
26-30: 9 posts a level.
31-50: 10 posts a level.
51-70: 11 posts a level.
71-90: 13 posts a level.
91-100: 15 posts a level.
3. All Pokemon will earn in your party XP at the same time.
4. You'll obtain a Master Ball by beating the Pokemon league.
5. If you want your Pokemon to be shiny, roll a 17 sided dice, and if it lands on 7, it's shiny.

Gym Leaders:
Can still travel around and catch new Pokemon.
I recommend having a secondary gym leader, so that way if you can't RP, that person can take over, temporarily.

Legendary Pokemon:
Basically the same as normal Pokemon. The only differences are that they can travel easier and can avoid getting caught by a Master Ball. Don't worry trainers, you'll get to keep your Master Ball if it doesn't work.

Be mean, steal Pokemon, and and cause havoc!
