LIKE NO ONE EVER WAS

WHAT: You teach me and I teach you.. POKEMON
WHEN: Thursday, May 1 - Thursday, May 8
WHY: GOTTA CATCH ‘EM ALL

Hello there! Welcome to the world of pokémon! My name is Dinkerton! People call me the Pokémon Professor! This world is inhabited by creatures called pokémon! For some people, pokémon are pets. Others use them for fights. Myself... I study pokémon as a profession.


Good morning trainers! May has become PokéMay, and characters will wake up May 1st in the world of Pokémon, right here on your own island of New Moore.

What does this mean for your characters? Well, for one you get your own Pokémon team. You can have as many or as few, so feel free to go through the several gens to find the ones that best fit your characters. Mix and match is okay. In addition, previously “off-limits” spots like the volcano and the forests, as well as the beaches and caves, will be accessible and littered with pokémon to catch and interact with. New Moore has all gens of pokémon scattered around, making a whopping number of pokémon needed to complete the Pokédex, if you feel inclined to catch em all. Is that even possible in one week? Maybe if you could move that truck, you could get Mew…

For those of you who think your character is more than your average trainer, we have openings for six gym leaders, on first come, first serve basis. These guys can be challenged by other players to obtain badges to become a Pokémon master. Again gym spots are on a first come basis and one gym leader per player. What gym you want to represent is up to you as well.

GYM LEADERS: John Egbert (Flying), Carol Danvers (Dragon), Elsa (Ice), Lin Bei Fong (Steel), Hans (Dark), Lydia Martin(Psychic)

There is more to life than just trainers, of course. There are a wide array of roles you can play in our poké-economy. There a pokémon scientists, breeders, and doctors (Nurse Joy anyone?) There are shops that cater to trainer needs and pokémon well-being and grooming, as well as models! Finally, of course, there are grunts within Team Rocket, attempting to cause chaos and successfully or unsuccessfully steal pokémon. There are other “teams” as well, like Plasma or Flare, so sign up for the ineffectual terrorist group of your choice. Feel free to give yourself any poké-role in the pokéworld- no I will not stop adding “Poké” to all words.

As usual, characters can be unaffected by the plot, meaning they will be without pokémon (at the beginning of the plot) and extremely confused why that kid in shorts keeps screaming at them to battle.

Sadly, next Friday morning, May 9th, your characters will wake up without their team of pokémon. However, there have always been herds of pikachus wandering around, so it’s possible you may find some residual monsters throughout the island in the future.

Plot in this post about your prospective pokémon team, your character type, and any other planning needs you guys might have. Also go ahead and ask questions or leave comments! We are trying for longer plots, less often in these next two months, so bear with us while we work out the kinks, and let us know your feedback!
