The Shinto tournament, held each year in Jinto, has always drawn togethor unusual groups of people. This year's, however, are told a startling thing- a new region of Pokemon has just been discovered! A group of Pokemon trainers from all different regions of the world come togethor, deciding to travel to, explore, and map out this new area. Will you be bold enough to join? And for those that are... Will you fall into one of the many traps and pitfalls that various other group members may throw your way? Many members of the group have their own agendas, after all...
The usual regions, for the sake of this RP, do not exist. New regions will be listed here once I complete them. THe plot will also be added to (Or not.. Secrets are fun!) as it is designed. Help/volunteers, or reserving spots, is welcome.
Commonly confused itemsPlease note that these regions are a bit smaller than the in-game ones, thus why there are more of them. Also, you may add history, etc, to whichever island you 'claim' for your character to be from. While I don't want a huge amount of people in the RP, I may allow duplicates from a few regions/islands, provided your characters live far enough away on them not to know each other.
No one may be from Phoenix Isle or the underground cave. Also, characters from Katinara and Sdal may know each other already.
Team Rocket do occaisonally pop up in some of these places. Your character may have seen them. Team Rocket, in this timeline, actually split into two divisions about three years ago. The first, still named Team Rocket, are bumblers, and will try to steal about anything that isn't nailed down, particularly Pokemon. Team Vincit, however, are much more subtle and powerful, and only steal valuable items and Pokemon. Your character is unlikely to have seen them/dealt with them personally, though it is possible. ^^;
Team Aqua and Magma do exist, but are very new, and very weak still. They mostly give out fliers, trying to recruit, and are a nuisance. They aren't yet known to be really harmful.
Some teams are specific to a certain region. These include Team Iusta, seen only in Lilaene, and Team Caliope, found only in Caliope. Members may leave these areas during the RP, but a character not from these regions won't have seem them yet.
For the purpose of Equality, Pokemon will be attracted to only one gender.... But you may choose which one. Attract will only work on them when used by members of that gender.
Finally, for the sake of this RP, Magnezone, Rhyperior, Nosepass and its ridiculous evo, and Bidoof and Bibarel do not exist.
Rules
Rules will be added as needed. Don't make me have to add rules!
1. No legendaries. No exceptions.
2. You may have a few Pokemon from regions other than your own, because people do travel. However, at least half your owned Pokemon at the start of the RP must be from your home location.
3. Don't godmode, powerplay, and etc. This should be obvious.
4. No one can win ALL the time.
5. When you get a Pokemon, you choose their moves. For your starter, you may choose 5 moves your Pokemon learns through level up, and 2 TMs. For other starting-with Pokemon, choose 5 moves they can learn, and 1 TM. For other Pokemon, you may choose 4 starting moves. Some moves may be given when you capture or obtain a Pokemon, as a bonus. If so, I'll let you know what these are.
More learned moves/TMs can be earned later in the RP, either through random events, or points. You get 2 points for winning a battle, and 1 for losing. Good RP posts or plot type things, and etc, can earn you more points. I'll keep track of those in this post. And add a list of what each thing costs.
Hidden Power may not be chosen as one of these moves. You will earn that later in the RP, when your Pokemon's nature is uncovered.
6. Because levels would allow people to end up on an uneven scale, I won't be using them. Instead, experienced fighters will get to earn 'traits', which will be similar to abilities. Some may be given out, but for others, I'll PM you and let you know you've earned a trait, and let you choose what trait you want for which Pokemon. Some pokemon will not learn certain traits. For example, something that can't fly won't get a trait to let it fly faster or higher, and a legless Pokemon won't be the ability to climb well, for obvious reasons. Battle-related traits may be learned by almost any Pokemon, however.
7. Sometimes, 'guide' Pokemon will be available. These Pokemon hold plot clues, so if you capture one/convince it to join you for a while, I'll still play it. These Pokemon may stay with you and become yours to RP... Or they may leave. You won't know if a Pokemon is one of these at first.
8. You must actually buy or find Pokeballs. Sorry, this isn't the URPG. =p They will, however, be available in reasonable quantities.

Points
Points are obtained every time you battle another trainer, or make a good RP post.
