I checked it out and posted a few questions if your interested

As for this R.P, it appears Athromorphs are out of the question unless Darkstar doesn't see a problem with it

hmmm....Well I guess legend is always an option (though I don't know of any emotionally disturbed ones), or a seasoned super well trained pokemon who lost its trainer and is out for revenge... I'll think of something

[Darkstar64]

Anthropomorphic pokemon...Can't ever be normal huh? I guess I'll allow it. But only cuz you're a friend.

BUT YOU CAN'T BE AN UMBRE-MON!!

Plus, we've heard of people becoming pokemon before. Anyone remember that guy who lived behind the Lake of Rage? If you talk to him in the original Gold and Silver, he says he's becoming a pokemon.

Cooooool, I was wondering how you would take that, if thats the case I want to post another profile along with Mew and Mewtwo. To answer the question in the Profiles, Yes I do plan on being both characters, since they are going to be together all the time there can be good banter between them

[Tickles]

Hey, can we start this RP around next monday, meowth won't be on until then

[Darkstar64]

That's fine, I'll probably be busy until then.

Playing Kirby's Return to Dreamland and whatnot...

[Tickles]

ok, cool.

[Darkstar64]

(Awkward silence...)

So I was wondering.

Should we have an evil organization in the game? If so, which one? I think that we should, but keep it's activity low. I didn't do a very good job of limiting Team Rocket's activity, mostly because my character was out to seek revenge, and because we had two members who were in Team Rocket. But after I change my profile, I can manage it better.

I was also wondering what happened to Fox, because I know he's still active, but he hasn't posted anything here for a while. I'm thinking he probably just left already like Rob wanted...

[Tickles]

How about we don't touch team rocket and have a new evil organization, because we can safely assume that all the other organizations are long gone. Team rocket doesn't make an appearance in Orre at all, there is Cypher, but cypher doesn't appear in Kanto. So there should be a new organization that is based in both, one that can be fun to play as, just no being able to call armies, or abtain anything special unless the one who runs it allows it, after being allowed by you darkstar. How I see it working, one person designs the organization, someone playing as a member asks them for something, the "leader" asks darkstar if it's ok to grant the request, but only for requests that are ridiculously huge, like that whole army thing, or a powerful new weapon. Since it is your RP Darkstar, you should be able to say what can and can't be allowed.

I think in moderation an evil organization can be an interesting addition to the R.P. If you want an R.P focused on Defeating them, make the organization vary powerful, enough that you would have to flee from it and position yourself strategically to win. If the focus is the evil organization people should be able to join.

 If they are just there for color and spice, then only you should control them and be able to regulate when they act, if a player is a member it will inevitably become the focus since people will want to respond to that persons action.

What ever element you add too the world will be interacted with by the players. In the last two renditions of the R.P the vary first thing introduced to it was Team Rocket. Because of that, people responded to the only active part of the world, their was no real variety they could choose from. Most people want to be where the action is.

My suggestion is starting with a Pokemon League. This way Trainers who are experienced can put in their profile that they are in the League and when the R.P starts they can introduce their Pokemon in a traditional battle with one another and move up the ranks. People who want to be starter trainers or others can be in the stands or on a TV watching the fights.
 

[Darkstar64]

I actually have a good idea of how I want to run things like Gyms in Orre. It'll be like my own version of the pokemon league.

And I think it might be time for another poll...

1) Only Darkstar controls evil organization, no other E.O.'s

2) Same as above, have smaller E.O.'s as well

3)E.O.'s that people can join

4) No E.O.'s at all

(E.O.'s=Evil Organizations)

I'm thinking that either I control one main Evil organization that no one can join, I control the evil organization and people CAN join, we have SMALL EVIL ORGANIZATIONS that people can make and join, but cannot become big like any of the evil Team (Blank), or we have none at all. Let me know if there should be any other options.

Judging from the last two R.P's, we want the main powerful organization (if there are any) to be controlled and regulated by you (talking to Darkstar here), if a player joins that organization you would have the power to demote or promote them for obedience, and kick them out and/or execute the character for going against the E.O's plans

if you want it focused on evil organizations, then allow the minor E.O's in, but once again make sure that your story allows for the human element regardless

hmm maybe this time i'll play my character as darkstars left hand man who wants t6o be his right hand man really bad...mmm maybe idk yet

[Robbase231]

What would a right hand man do to make a left handed man jealous? Aren't they both Darkstar's hands in the end?

[Darkstar64]

Yes, but sometimes my left hand becomes jealous of my right hand because I don't use the former as much. I am Right-handed after all. =P

In all seriousness, what would happen is I would play as my own character, while also controlling the evil organizations actions. I won't personally play as the evil organization, I'll just control it. What do you think, think it'll work out well?
