Hello, and welcome to the Pokemon Realms!
Here inside the Realms, we encourage all to enjoy themselves along with their Pokemon in whatever fashion they desire! It is encouraged that the people who are deeply attached with their Pokemon to participate within some form of Role Play, because that is how they become stronger, evolve into new forms, and do many other spectacular things. For it to be enjoyable to everyone, here are some guidelines everyone should follow.
Each Trainer Starts out with 5000 Pokemon Gold for their journey! To obtain more gold, you can either sell items you find during your journey, or beat Gym Leaders/Trainers/Elite members for it!
1. To be a Pokemon trainer, you must have a Journal and a Trainer Card. Why? It keeps everything Organized with yourself and the staff of the Pokemon realms. It let's us know exactly what you and your Pokemon are doing and assures us that you aren't using any method of cheating.
2. For those who battle their Pokemon, there will be places for you to have your battles! ( Open fields, Gyms, Etc. ) Though, be it known that you can only have 6 Pokemon on your team.
arrow How many moves can your Pokemon have? Whatever move they can actually learn! Though, please remember, that Pokemon can only learn certain moves at Certain Levels, or by the usage of Our TM's and HM's.
arrow Legendary Pokemon are prohibited during the early stages of being a Pokemon Trainer. Here within the Pokemon Realms, we believe in fair play and wouldn't think it is fair, that Gym Leaders/Trainers have a legendary Pokemon and their opponents don't.
arrow Psychic Pokemon Trainers are limited to their powers. You are - not - Sabrina, nor are you based from her. So, you may not have whatever prowess she posessed. Teleportation is an ESCAPE MOVE ONLY. Your Pokemon may not use it for dodges inside a Pokemon battle. Do not even ask, because it's an immediate no. Recover can only be used once Per battle and it does not recover your Pokemon completely. So, don't think that when you use recover, your Pokemon is completely healed and can continue onward in battle as if nothing had happened to it.
3. Be it known, that your Pokemon - can - get sick and die. You are expected to take good care of the Pokemon you've come to buy/obtain from us at the Pokemon realms. If it comes to our attention that you aren't taking care of your Pokemon, one of our Rangers ( Staff ) Will take whatever Pokemon you own and give them to a new, loving owner. ( Read Main thread rules partaining to this specific rule. )
4. Pokemon Centers are used to heal your Pokemon and Rest yourself. As a trainer, YOU also fatigue, not just your Pokemon. Since you are basically human, have a sense of realism. I don't want to see your Pokemon take a pummeling after hours and hours of travel and not have a scratch on you. It makes for bad play.
5. Pokemarts are here for you to buy items you may need on your journeys. ( Evolutionary stones are sold seperately and are sold for Gaian gold. Not Gold you obtain within the Pokemon Realms. The same applies for some TM's ) Just like the Pokemon games you've come to know and love, you may have upto 99 of each item. THOUGH, this does mean you'd be carrying a lot of weight, which slows you down. You aren't ultra strong and cannot carry tons and tons of items in that small nap sack of yours. Again, have a sense of Realism.
6. There are 8 Gyms. To make it to the Pokemon League, which will be at that Infamous Indigo Plateau, you must have all 8 of these badges and take the grueling challenge of making your way through Victory Road!
7. Trading Pokemon must be done at a Pokemon Center near you and can only be performed by 2 trainers at a time. To trade with a person, you must have an approval to trade by myself and the approval from the person you are trading with. The person does have the right to cancel a trade, just as I have the right to not approve one.
8. Pokemon Breeding can only take place at the Pokemon Day care. ( Read the Main thread Rules on Pokemon Breeding and anything Partaining to the day care. )
