Roleplaying

Just to make things simple, this takes plase in Sinnoh, but you can own pokemon from any generation.

This takes place about 15 years after the anime. Ash is the pokemon master. All the gym leaders and elite four are different.

Old friends, new friends. POkemon are there forever.

Will YOU be the one to become the next pokemon master?

In sinnoh, the old elite four have long retired and been replaced by gym leaders. Now all the gyms are different too.

Some have already started their journey. Some have finished it.

And some... are about to begin.

There can be THREE people just starting. 

EIGHT gym leaders.

UNLIMITED people who have already started.

PEOPLE STARTING:

Choose a starter. If it is already yaken, you can't have it. Starters are CHIMCHAR, TURTWIG, and PIPLUP.

You MAY NOT use another random pokemon as a starter.

GYM LEADERS:

You may only use pokemon of the type you do in gym battles, but you can own other types. 

No two gym leaders can be of the same type or in the same city.

You don't have to stay in your gym the whole time of you don't want to.

Please come up with a gym challange maze thing or something that trainers must complete before battling you.

Gym leaders choose the outcome of gym battles, but please be fair.

ALREADY STARTED:

You can have any pokemon EXCEPT Sinnoh starters. Other starters are fine.

You DO have to complete the gym challanges to get badges. Even if you already started your journey.

GENERAL RULES:

You may not own ANY legendary pokemon. If you want to encounter one, that is fine, but you may not battle it or use it in battle.

You can challange gyms and other trainers, but be fair about who wins and who looses. Keep in mind that you have to batttle to be strong. 

Canon characters STAY OUT OF THIS RP unless you get all the way to the elite four. I will controll them for you if you get this far.

No Potions/antidotes/berries are to be used in battle. You can use them after battle or visit a pokemon center.

You can own up to EIGHT pokemon. I know that the usual number is six, but pokemon are just that awesome, so you can have more for this.
