Hello there, those of you have decided to see what exactly this is.  I, Anya5544, have restarted a roleplay originally created by AlloraSilverfield.  Sadly, she was unable to continue the first due to time constraints, and an ever growing list of things do in the day.  I hope to revive it since my schedule is much more empty than most.


~


So how exactly will this work?  Well, you'll give me your  bio sheet (skeleton given below), and I'll start a Private Roleplay, my first post in that Roleplay giving you a list of three Pokemon that could be your starter, and you'll reply by having your character open your starter's pokeball, and meet their first pokemon, and it shall go on like that.  


     Also, I will tend to make my incredibly detailed posts on weekends, and have slightly more abbreviated versions of the points I'm trying get across on my weekday posts.  Just thought I'd inform you now.


Rules to Follow:

Before you even make your bio, you must read these rules--

 1. I decide what's going to happen, NOT you.  I create the area, control everyone that isn't you, your pokemon when they aren't in battle, or your family.  Respect that, okay?  No Godmodding!  Here's the gist of it--You can't find a path, you can only search for one.  I decide if there is something to find.  Got it?  Good.

2.  Not every Pokemon can learn Fly or Surf, or allow you to ride them, and even then, don't think that they all will be willing to travel you to another city so willy-nilly.  Some do not like to be ridden!.  I'll post a list of which Pokemon can potentially let you ride them or not later on.  (Or just look it up on Bulbapedia, yeah why don't you just go do that...)

3.  If you need to find out anything about Pokemon, go to Pokemon Wiki(Or Bulbapedia)!  That's what I do!

4.  Use double Parentheses (or something similar) if you are speaking out of context, okay?  I'll need a way to tell the difference.

5. You CAN suggest things, and I will be happy to take your thoughts and make an even better experience, but only when you're out of context.

6. a Minimum usual of two paragraphs please.  One semi-detailed paragraph is fine if you're in a pinch, though!

7.  Your character MUST have spent ten years learning about Pokemon!!

And the almighty #8:  If you're curious about the original version, look up "Open Pokemon Roleplay Unique Style", and that'll probably do the ticket.  Please don't ask me about it...  It'll get tiring fast.

INTRODUCTION:

Welcome to the Pokemon World!  I'm glad you chose to become a Pokemon Trainer here in the region of [insert region of choice here]; not as many as you'd think do, for a lot of people view it
as a rather dangerous life.  But then again, the only thing most people know is that it takes ten years of learning at your local Pokémon Academy to be deemed ready for starting your life as a trainer.  Not you, though.  You've wanted to become a Pokemon trainer your whole life.  You are ready to take on all the challenges that come with starting your Pokemon journey. 
      A week ago, you filled out a personality test.  Now that it's graduation day, you and eleven others are rushed into a room and are directed to the desk with your name on it.  Once you reach your desk, you see a Pokedex, and three pokeballs.  It is time to meet your starter, and start your journey in the Pokemon world.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Some Info on Pokemon--

In case you forgot, I will choose a selection of three different Pokemon based on your character's personality, life experiences, and goals for their adventure...  Or I'll just use a randomizer to decide.

Your pokemon can frequently use more than four moves in this world, unlike the games.

Pokemon can level up in different ways than battling, these shall be unveiled for you later on.  It's the same way with Befriending Pokemon.  There are many, many different ways...

Pokemon will be following the anime sizes, 'kay?

Your Pokemon have at least four moves from birth: two or three starter moves, and two egg moves.

All currently released types will be used, and that definitely includes Fairy-Types.

Oh, and don't forget that you can nickname your Pokemon!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Important Information:
     I am NOT starting any journeys out in Alola just yet.  This is subject to change.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Application:  

Before anything else--PLEASE KEEP YOUR CHARACTER IN THE 16-21 YEARS OLD RANGE!  There has been some confusion about how old a character should be, and how long they've spent studying.  They have been studying at the school closest to them for 10 YEARS, a whole decade, and so their age must reflect this.  Thank you for reading this part.

In case you forgot yet again, Your first post must be about meeting your starter (Seeing the Pokeball and calling the Pokemon out into the room), and end with opening your Pokedex, so that I can demonstrate how to use it! Then we'll really start roleplaying!   You must also choose your egg moves OOC in that post.
(Paste and copy the bio on to your post on this thread, and delete the stuff in parentheses)

Name: 
Age: 
Gender: (can be male, female, nonbinary, genderfluid, or anything else.  I'm really okay with whatever as long as they're believable)
Region: (Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, or Kalos)
Hometown:  
Appearance: (detailed paragraph or two or a picture!)
Personality: (spare not a single detail here, either!)
History: (Detailed please!)
Skills:
Flaws:
Favorite Pokemon Type:
Least Favorite Pokemon Type:
Any Goals?:
Anything you want me to know?:

The detailedness of your post will be key in whether you can participate or not.

Name:  Joy Gracie Copper (prefers Copper above anything else)

Age: 20

Gender: Female

Region: Johto

Hometown:  Olivine

Appearance: Copper's most recognisable feature is her hair. A wild, wavy mane to her mid-back, ironically the colour of copper, she often pulls it into a simple half-pony, or otherwise stuffs it under a light blue and white skate cap, which was a gift from her grandfather. She has rounded almond eyes which are a dark brown, and carry a spark of creativity. She has tan skin, with freckles across her nose. Her legs are longer than average, making her look taller, though she is a normal height. If an animal were used to describe her, she would be a maned wolf, especially when she smiles, as she smiles in a way that exposes her prominent canine teeth. She has slight scoliosis, which makes her back appear more curved inward than a normal person.
Her clothing choices aren't exactly conventional, opting for sleeveless polo shirts with brightly-patterned ties, and skinny jeans or cargo pants with a hanging chain belt. Occasionally a pleated skirt for special occasions. She wears heavy-duty boots or skater shoes, depending on what she's doing. At all times she carries her tan rucksack, which has clip-on attachments for pok
é-balls and carries a surprising amount of stuff.
Her skateboard is custom built and painted, depicting a sunset over the water of her home town with a rain of flowers on the other side.  

Personality: Charming and playful, Copper still acts like a child in some ways, playing pranks and pouting for what she wants, more as a joke than anything else. she likes to laugh and will often try to get others to do the same. She's quite an extrovert and is compassionate, sticking to her values and following her instincts (which are often honed on having fun, but they're still instincts non-the-less). She has a hard time reading serious situations, but they can definitely knock her cheerfulness down a peg. She gets frustrated by little things, like trying to get something into a hole when building something, or trying to turn something that won't turn. She has never had the focus or finesse for such tasks, and will avoid them at all costs, never getting into any skill that involved fine hand motor skills. Copper enjoys proving to men that she can be as tough as them, never turning down a dare or arm wrestling match. When she loses, she mopes for a few days but then springs back up with a new challenge that she will win. She often does these challenges with reckless abandon, not considering risk.
Copper has never found anything she has really wanted to do in her life, except skateboarding, which is her passion. Her flighty nature keeps her from being grounded on an idea for very long, and she often tries things once before quickly abandoning it. This makes it hard for her to decide what she wants to be. Most of her friends have gone, leaving her alone, the last one to make a choice on who she wants to be. Though she has a manic exterior,  when she's alone she gets thoughtful and often gets to the point where she feels the world is too much for her. Then she's with somebody and she forgets the feeling, all smiles once again.

History: Copper grew up living with grandparents, as her true parents died when the ferry they were on crashed and sank. At a young age she began helping in the Olivine café, serving food and drink, as she didn't have the patience to cook. Life was relatively peaceful for her in her younger years. Pokémon didn't have a very large influence on her everyday life, except for her grandmother's quilava that would help in the kitchen.
At the age of seven a traveller came from across the sea, paying for his meal with a skateboard. at first his grandmother refused the unusual style of payment, but then agreed reluctantly when she found that Copper had taken an interest in it, something she didn't do often. 
Copper rode the skateboard every day, determined to master the use of  what she thought was a genius transportation device. She slowly learned how to do tricks and flips, gaining the admiration of her fellow children. At the age of 10, when many of her friends went off on their pok
émon journeys, she left town on her own to find a city where the skateboard was more readily appreciated, many older folks in town viewing her as a pest, the way she used the town as a playground. In her travels she fell in a hole, landing on her skateboard and snapping it in half. She was found two days later, sobbing, not because she was hurt, hungry, or scared, but because her skateboard was broken, and, though she didn't admit it, she had been lonely.
Deprived of her skateboard, Copper found a new love; humour. She loved to learn new jokes, trading her favourites for new ones at the cafe. However, she still missed skateboarding and would often release her boredom in vandalizing ways. She often got caught and would apologize without reluctance. She also began to study to become a pokemon trainer to pass the time, seeing it as an escape route in ten years to leave the city behind, as her grandfather would only now ever let her out of the city with him or her grandmother.
On Copper's thirteenth birthday, her grandmother brought her to Goldenrod city to get a new skateboard. Overjoyed, she spent the rest of the day on it, reluctantly getting off it to go to bed.
At eighteen she used all her saving to buy a complete custom board, and at twenty, last month, she met a strange man, who had encouraged her to become a pok
é
mon trainer. He seemed to know her very well, daring her to do so. The challenge put fire in her belly, and she decided to get herself a poké
mon and start on her journey. Better late than never, don't they always say?

Skills: Skateboarding, making people laugh, solving math problems
Flaws: No skill with her fingers, gives up on projects easily, will always accept a challenge no matter how dangerous it may seem

Any Goals?: To find out what she wants to do with her life.

Favorite Pokemon Type: Dragon

Least Favorite Pokemon Type: Poison

Anything you want me to know?: I don't know a lot about the Pokemon universe so if there are any contradictions about any of that I apologise. Also the wording slightly confused me; by 'character's bio sheet (given below)' you mean I post this on the board, or am I wrong?

You're right, that is confusing.  I'll edit that.  And yes, you do post on this board.
Well, anyways, there is are a few things for you to edit:  
The Introduction says it takes TEN YEARS of learning to become a Pokemon trainer.  May you edit your history to say she was around 8, 9, ten, or eleven when she decided to become a Pokemon trainer?  That or change your character's age to thirty.
Also, there are two new things to add to your bio, look above to find out.

Name: Zakeru Tokage
Age: Eighteen
Gender: Male
Region: Johto
Hometown: Ecruteak City (born), Goldenrod City (currently)

Appearance: Zakeru has light gray hair that looks white in certain lights and the locks have two black stripes that frame his face. His hair ends at his jawline. Despite its relatively short length, he can put it up in a small ponytail above the nap of his neck to reveal a tattoo. It is inked in black and it is a Pokémon in a tribal design (see URL at the bottom of post). Zakeru has dark tawny skin even though he does not spend a lot of time out in the sun. Covering his top is black fishnet. It ends at his hips and his wrists as it circles around his neck in a T-shirt like collar. Covering the fishnet is a tight black t-shirt with a slightly stretched collar and a crimson coloured Anarchy symbol on the back. The shirt ends at his waist. Starting just below the fishnet is a pair of denim jeans. They are tight, black, and end at his ankles. They are comfortable and allow for a whole range of movement despite being form-fitting. Unfortunately, the knees are a bit ripped and he has two chains on his left side; going from front to back by attaching themselves to the belt loops. One is slightly shorter than the other. Covering his feet are black combat boots with silver fastenings in the shape of small shields. Also, he always wears black eyeliner around his orange eyes and will sometimes wear black polish on his fingernails. Zakeru is muscular, if that counts for anything, and he can move rather quickly despite the bulk of muscle and his taller frame. He stands at six foot three and has burnt orange eyes that bear a dark ring of crimson around his pupils.
Personality: Zakeru is that silent leader type. But he doesn’t let others walk all over him. It’s more of that firm, commanding silence that can be worn as a jacket that everybody knows and respects. He talks, just not as often as most people would like. And when he does speak, people pay attention to it. Zakeru is very calm. All the time. Sure, he may put on a mask of some other emotion, but he is always calm. And he isn’t quick to anger, but he is a touch impatient. When he snaps, it isn’t something visible. More something internal, but it shows in his eyes and his tone. Despite that, he is extremely protective and often gets himself hurt to protect those he cares about.

History: Zakeru’s mother, Eridanus Kailen, was seduced by an escaped convict and he was produced roughly a year later. However, around his third birthday, the male stopped visiting. Zakeru doesn’t even remember the male’s name or what he looks like; which he doesn’t really care about. He only refers to his biological father as a sperm donor. His mother became a single parent and worked two jobs to keep food on the table for the both of them. When Zakeru was around six-years old, he started to become interested in the little creatures that lived around his home, Pokémon, and his mother started dating a relatively good looking male by the name of Faolan Mythrandr (a heterochromat with one blue and one crimson eye). 
Faolan was in the business of making custom motorcycles, or choppers, and moved the single mother and her son from Ecruteak City to Goldenrod City. Even at six, and his interesting in the little beasties called Pokemon, he followed his mother’s boyfriend to where he worked and learned how to make the custom vehicles whilst learning about Pokemon. After three years of the two adults dating, they married when Zakeru was eight and his new step-father treated his new son like he was flesh-and-blood, giving Zakeru a steady father-figure and a role-model.
When Zakeru was ten, his twin brothers – Zackari and Trisdane – were born, their eyes the only thing that was different between the two twins. At the age of thirteen, Zakeru started to physically help Faolan making the choppers, and he grew to like this very much so. So, as he grew older, he started his own chopper projects in between learning about Pokemon and helping his parents with his brothers.
Now eighteen, with eight-year-old twin brothers, he is ready for a little adventure.

Skills: He can take a part a motorcycle to its frame and rebuild it. Zakeru can also take apart a car engine and build one from scratch.
Flaws: Zakeru is a chain smoker, despite being so young. He is also unable to show emotions properly.

Favorite Pokémon Type: Fire
Least Favorite Pokémon Type: Normal, just on its own. If its mixed with something else, then it’s okay.

Any Goals?: Obtain and train every single Fire-type Pokémon there is and to obtain the cool looking dragon-type ones since they are his second favourite.

Anything you want me to know?: I don’t particularly think so. But, if Zakeru starts acting strange, please let me know. Currently, I have him set as an alien-creature and not a regular human. Oh, Zakeru’s surname – Tokage – means “Lizard” and it is the same of his biological father’s.

So, let me get this straight.  Your Character did a learning study at a Pokemon academy, and in his spare time, did his own projects.  If he started going to the Academy at eight, then, yes, all things are correct.

Your Bio looks amazing.  The only thing I would suggest is give her a last name.  (Oh, and FYI, You may have to wait a little while before you come across a Flygon or its pre-evolutions.)
