Out Of Character Rules (occ rules)
|*|Respect is something you should show towards everyone, regardless if you're on a website or in person. So please be kind and courteous to your fellow members. Don't pick fights, and don't point fingers; just try to get along. And if you can't get along with someone and they refuse to leave you alone, report it to the staff and let them handle it.
|*|Staff members are thedictatorskind leaders of this site, and you should always listen to what they say. Don't back-talk them, because they have enough to worry about already.
|*|Grammar and Spelling are required here. We expect that you write in a legible way. Sure, we all make some spelling mistakes, and it's perfectly okay if you're not too sure where to throw in commas. But i dnt wnt 2 c ne thing lyke this ok?
|*|Get original and don't take other people's stuff. If you're caught stealing other people's work, it will be instantly removed and you'll heavily cautioned not to ever do that again. Or else.
|*|PG-13 is the rating here. A cuss/swear word is perfectly okay, but don't start stringing a full line of nothing but explicits. This also means NO SEX. None. Whatsoever. I never want to see it. At all. If it is a must, have a "fade to black" deal.

Character Rules
|*|Multiple Accounts for multiple characters. That means that every character has an account. Do not have more than one character on one account.
|*|Usernames should be your character's name. I don't care if it's your character's full name, or just his/her's first name, just so long as I don't see something like "justinbieberfan400." Of course, you can sign up with whatever name you want, just be sure to change it accordingly when you make a character.
|*|PC Boxes must be set up before you can start your journey. I don't care how it's formatted, there just has to be a thread for your box before you can even think about getting your starter.
|*|PC Links somewhere in your signature. Considering all of you information for your current team will kept in your PC, it's convenient to have a nice link to it right in your signature.
|*|Face Claims are first come, fist serve. However, I'm limiting face claims to only Pokemon related characters. That means any character from the Anime, Mangas, or Movies can only be seen floating around here once. There's a list of face claims on the character application board.
***************
Posting Rules
|*|150 words is the minimum here. I understand if you're about ten words below - we all have a rough time coming up with something to say, but one of the points of roleplaying on a forum is to become a better writer.
|*|Real Time is present here. That means that your character can be in a single thread in the entire site. Your character must also follow the Routes in order (all boards are posted in the right order, top being where you start and bottom where you will end in that region).
|*|Pokemon Communication is left up to the member. If you want to be able to actually understand what your Charmander is saying to you, you can. But if you decide that all your character can hear is "Char.. Charmander char!" that's just as fine. It really doesn't matter to me.
|*|Wild Pokemon/NPC Trainers can only be controlled by a Moderator, Head Staff Member, or Admin. No one else. You do not control which Pokemon/person you encounter. However, just because you're spawned a Pokemon doesn't mean you have to interact with it.
|*|Godmodding/Autoing/Power Playing is illegal. Those three terms are basically the same thing - controlling, or manipulating an opponent in a way that you normally couldn't in reality. This includes, but is definitely not limited to: Declaring that a move successfully hit your opponent, making your opponent move, or attack, and/or controlling natural events during a battle (I.E. Saying that a thunderstorm was approaching when the move Rain Dance had not been used.)
