Welcome to the RPA pokemon tournament, members shall battle each other to decide who the best trainer on the site is! Well, at least RP wise. Now let's get this started. The way this will work is, I'm going to wait for 16 members to sign up, that way I can make even tournament brackets. Actually, I'll be competing, so 15 members. There will be two IC threads, the lobby, and the battle thread, to avoid confusion, only one battle will be taking place at a time, but if two people want to have a practice battle through PM, that's fine. The lobby will be where the trainers can interact with each other, and chat. The way the tournament will be set up is like this: It's double elimination, you have to lose twice to get kicked out, but you can still RP in the lobby if you like. The winner will be decided by a group of 4 judges, if you would like to be a judge, then PM me. Each trainer will be ranked on 3 things, Their Writing skills Their Battling Skills Their Pokemon Knowledge These will be rated by each judge on a scale of one to ten, and the winner will advance. Here are the actual RP rules Rule #1: You need some knowledge of Pokémon. This game takes place with the most recent canon (fourth generation). You're not required to have experience with the newest games as long as you are willing to do the proper research if your opponent is using Pokémon you are unfamiliar with. Rule#2: this is high-level tournament battling. I don't want to see anything that I wouldn't expect to see in a serious matchup. ie. No "babies", no magikarp, luvdisc etc. It goes without saying that there will be no legendaries. Rule#3: Don't cheat. Game mechanics are real. This should be easy enough. Don't expect to hit a Skarmory with Earthquake; that just doesn't happen. Similarly, the "I've trained my Breloom to be resistant to your fire attacks." line won't work. This is Anime Style battling with Game Mechanics, think about it like that. Rule#4: Pokémon are limited to four moves that they could legally acquire in the games. You are not required to reveal these moves to us from the beginning, but to keep things easier and more consistent, I'm going to suggest that you keep a list of the moves of each of your Pokémon on your end. Do not try and pull a fast one on me. You will be disqualified. I am a pokemon expert, I know which moves pokemon can and can't use. Also, same four moves throughout the tournament. Battles: Battles will be three on three. You may pick any combination of three out of your six pokemon you want for each battle. The Finals will be 6 on 6. Trainers will be allowed 5 items of thier choice(Except for any flutes, any form of revive, and full restore.) Pokemon will be allowed to hold 1 item each. Pokemon abilities will be in effect for the battle. If you're pokemon has two possible effects, pick one, and use the same one throughout the tournament. Trainers should PM me BEFOREHAND what three pokemon they will be using for their battle, what items the pokemon will hold(if any), and what 5 items they will use. This prevents cheating. I understand most of you won't cheat, but it's just a precaution. Any attack used during battle that has a chance of doing something,(I.E. Higher percentage of critical hit, flinching, status effect...) the attacked played will decide if it affects their pokemon or not. This does NOT apply to attacks with a guranteed effect, those will happen. If a Hypno uses hypnosis, you're falling asleep. No getting around moves like that. But the trainers can decide everything else. Like if the pokemon is paralyzed the afflicted trainer can choose which turns it's paralyzed. Or when it wakes up. But please, PLEASE, don't make your pokemon immune to status effects. If you get put to sleep, don't wake up immediatly every time. If you're paralyzed, make sure that your pokemon can't move sometimes. Etc. Just be fair. Template: Name: Age: Gender: Appearance: Home Region: Home Town: Short Biography: Pokémon (6): |

Name: Larkin Skye Age: 15 Gender: Male Appearance: ![]() Home Region: Sinnoh Home Town: North-eastern Battle Zone Short Biography: (In the form of a short story) "...kin!" Larkin stirred in his bed, too tired from the previous day's activities to get up. "Larkin!" his mother called from the kitchen below, "You have to wake up! If you're gonna get your first pokémon today, you have to be there before everyone else takes them!" Larkin's eyes snapped open as the reality of his mother's words dawned on him, and the reason why he was so tired. It was all in preparation for today. She was right. He glanced at the clock on the wall opposite him. 5:00 AM. He grunted and swore under his breath. "Mom! Why didn't you wake me up earlier?" Larkin shouted from his bed. He jumped up and began dressing. He had a big day ahead of him. Today was the day he met his first pokémon partner and began his journey to obtain all 8 badges and eventually defeat Sinnoh's Pokémon League. ♥Larkin Skye lives in the Battle Zone. He's lived there his whole life, and it's a wonder he didn't get into pokémon sooner since he grew up around so many of them. He eventually realized his dream on August 21, 1993 (his birthday, actually) with the help of his team. Pokémon (6): Metagross (Shiny), Glaceon, Lucario, Typhlosion, Milotic (Shiny), and Absol. As his Absol landed, after finishing off the opponent's Milotic with a graceful Razor Wind, he felt as if he himself were rising and he closed his eyes and remembered. He remembered his first full day as a pokémon trainer, and his first pokémon, who befriended him on his way to the Sandgem Town lab, owned by Professor Rowan. He was journeying by foot to Sandgem after taking the boat from the Battle Zone to Snowpoint City. The horizon was blurred, and he couldn't feel anything. He lacked the proper attire for journeying in this kind of climate. I'll have to stop by a poké-mart and pick up some coats, he thought, Or else I'll freeze to death. He made his way toward the nearest poké-mart. He soon arrived at the door which slid open to let him in. Shivering, and with chattering teeth, he managed to say, "C- clothes p, please." The man who appeared to run this poké-mart looked at him with a worried expression. "Kid- I'll give you your clothes, free of charge, but you have to do something for me, eh?" "S, sure," Larkin managed to reply. He slumped against the wall nearest the heater in that poké-mart and lavished in the continuous pulsation of heat emanating from it. "Go to the pokémon center not too far from here and get your self checked out. If you've been traveling in those clothes, you may have caught yourself worse than a cold, you know what I mean?" Larkin mumbled something back, and it must have been a satisfactory answer because the man at the counter went to the back of the poké-mart and returned with a bag full of thick clothing. "Here," he said. Larkin gratefully accepted the clothes. He put them on top off what he was already wearing and was about to leave when he thought he heard the poké-mart owner say something about how all trainers were headstrong fools. He ignored him and left. The man didn't know anything about pokémon trainers. Regardless, Larkin decided to follow his advice, but the blizzard was so bad now that he could barely see 6 inches in front of him. Even with all of the clothes he was wearing, he still felt cold. He could barely move, and it was getting worse. He decided to stand still so that the wind chill couldn't catch him anymore. His vision fluttered once. He fell over. Twice. He closed his eyes and let the reprieve from the horrible cold embrace him. Thump-thump, thump-thump. Larkin thought he heard foot-steps in the snow. But he couldn't care less. He needed rest. Skrrrrtt. The footsteps came to a sliding halt. He felt himself being picked up by his back and flung through the air. He landed on something soft and warm. Whatever had picked him up began to run. He felt the fluid motions of its muscles work beneath his own body. He opened his eyes slightly and thought he glimpsed a scythe. He shivered, not from the cold. "No..." he thought, "I am not ready to die- I-" Before he could finish his sentence, he heard the worried voice of a woman interrupt him. "Get him inside! He's going into shock!" "Mom...?" "Ab...sol!" came the reply. (I drew the appearance myself.) -Screen-name on Photobucket= FlyerSkye Edited by LarkinSkye, 14 Nov 2008, 01:50 PM.

She may be quick to critic, she is also quick to give advice for the sake of the trainer's pokemon. She often worries about the effects a bad trainer will have on their own team. She has been to all four regions, but favors the Johto one as she reminds facing the most excitiment there since it had been the second region she had visited and was still roughly considered a newbie.

Name: Isabella "Bella" Wynters Age: 17 Gender: Female Appearance: Spoiler: click to toggle Home Region: Indigo Home Town: Cinnebar Island Short Biography: Bella has traveled through all of the regions, and has caught many pokemon. She prefers to use pokemon from all the regions, prefering Kanto, Indigo, Hoenn and Johto pokemon over Sinnoh Pokemon. Though she does love her Floatzel. Her first pokemon was a Vulpix, which has grown and evolved into her ninetails. Her favorite pokemon would have to be her Ninetails, as she has watched it and grown along side it. She has been traveling since she was 9, being the youngest pokemon trainer in her league. She does have a disadvantage having started out her pokemon journey as young as she did, having had problems training her pokemon at first. She has recently come to Sinnoh after returning to her hometown for a bit of rest. Pokémon (6): Ninetails - Passion - Female Absol - Dark Blade - Female Persian - Xerxes - Male Espeon(Shiny) - Ariel - Female Scizor - Reaper - Male Floatzel - Kaze Mizu - Male EDIT: I changed her age slightly.

Name:M Age: 17 Gender: Male Appearance: M is 6'0 and very skinny for his height, weighing only 120 lb. He carries himself with a straight spine, no sign of a slouch. His eyes are very inquistive, and if you look at them for a prolonged period of time, you'll get the impression that he's asking you a question without speaking. His hair is...slightly combed, and stops just above his shoulders. Thinking about it, slightly combed is being generous, it's pretty messy. There's no split ends or knots, but it looks like it needs to be brushed. Maybe he combs it that way on purpose? He's more legs than body, though he doesn't look misshapen, his legs are just a little longer than his torso, that's all. His arms are fairly long too. He has normal sized hands and fingers. His feet are a bit smaller than average, but not too much. He has a long nose, but it's not beak like, it's narrow and stays close to his face. His ears are pressed against the side of his head. His mouth is thin and usually taut, as he doesn't smile or frown much. His eyes are a bit bigger than normal, and almond shaped. Home Region: Kanto Home Town: Saffron City Short Biography: M is not impulsive in the slightest. That isn't to say he can't make split-decisions, he can, he just doesn't like to. He perfers to think things over. He comes off as cold, because he doesn't display emotion too often, but he's really not. He's just of the opinion that letting emotions get the better of you clouds your abillity to think. He says what he thinks, so he comes off as rude a lot, when he's really just stating his opinion. M tends to think he's smarter than people, which is a problem, even when he is. As a result, he sometimes forgets himself and talks down to people. Most people don't enjoy this. He also tends to forget that it's possible that HE could be outsmarted, and forgets to come up with a back-up plan in most cases, simply assuming that what he's doing will work. M can also be very sarcastic at times. M Doesn't speak much about his past, or his childhood. No one's sure where he really came from as he appeared in Saffron city a few years ago, he randomly travels around, battling other trainers and rarely using. He joined the tournament the day he heard about it. Pokémon (6): Mr. Mime Gardevoir Arcanine Alakazam Skarmory Umbreon |

(My secret has been discovered! *runs around dramatically*) Name: Vash Shaymrs Age: 19 Gender: Male Appearance: ![]() Home Region: Hoen Home Town: Lilycove Short Biography: Vash grew up looking up to heroes like Lance, Cynthia, and the Elite Four. He admired their superb abilty of pokemon raising and their top notch battling skills. Finally, it was his turn. His time in Hoen was less than ideal. He lost match after match and a year had passed since he started his journey and still her had no badges. It was after a particularly grueling loss that Vash's angry thoughts turned dark. If I had stronger pokemon, then no could beat me! Vash became a pokemon hunter. However, one day in Goldenrod City, Vash was challenged by a stranger and beaten horribly. He didn't understand! How could his powerful pokemon lose so easily! The woman left without a word, and Vash's desire to know more drove him to follow. The woman turned out to be a Frontier Brain, a highly admired trainer in the Heon region. She agreed to take Vash as an apprentice but only if he renounced his past and started over. All of Vash's pokemon that he hunted were set free and he started over with the pokemon he had cuaght as a trainer. The master was the answer to his prayers. She tuaght him strength and compassion, and how to bring out all pokemon's potential. She tuaght him how to love being a pokemon trainer again and he excelled in both skill and nature. After retraveling the world, and earning his badges, Vash heard rumors about a tournament unlike any other. Needless to say that was all he needed to hear. His favorite color is green. ((FYI. LOL)) Pokémon (6): Fraligator- Dairu Flygon - Urai Aggron - Boss Gallade- Eru Yanmega - Megaya Infernape- Kaza Edited by Virus Core, 14 Nov 2008, 03:33 AM.

Name: Kenyth Silvara Age: 17 Gender: Male Appearance: ![]() Home Region: Kanto Home Town: Cinnabar Island Short Biography: When Kenyth was a young boy, his father had left to pursue a life of a trainer. He appeared in the Indigo Plateau and made the top three, the two years after, he made the top four both years. That third year, Kenyth found an injured Growlith and he and his mother nursed it back to health. Ever since, the pokemon had stayed, becoming their pet and loyal companion of Kenyth. After seeing his father battle and rescuing Growlithe, he became interested, well, more obsessed than interested, in pokemon. He studied everything about them. His mother told him he had great potential as an assistant to Professor Oak. However, sitting behind a desk wasn't Kenyth's thing. Even at a very young age, he loved exploring the woods near their house. So the young Kenyth began researching everything about pokemon he could for when he was old enough to get his pokemon. When he'd reached 12 years old, he was able to get his pokemon, Growlithe didn't want him to go, but the boy couldn't be swayed. So the puppy pokemon followed his master all the way to the lab, refusing to leave Kenyth's side. The young man realized that he already had his first pokemon. He couldn't believe he was so blind not to see it. Since then, the two have traveled everywhere together and Growlithe evolved into an Arcanine over their many journeys. Its been 5 years since their journey started. They weren't about to stop now, they'd come too far to back down now. The Badges, the contests, the leagues, they all meant nothing to Kenyth and his pokemon. All they all cared about was the each new days travels and the thrill of battling. Each time they gave it their all, it was as if they had lightning coursing through their veins. That's is what they lived for.

[Shhhh, I'm not here. ;D] Name: Emma Valcorve Age: 17 Gender: Female Appearance: ![]() Home Region: Jhoto Home Town: Blackthorn City Short Biography: Emma was always a headstrong trainer. She's a stubborn hothead and never really listened to her parents when she would run errands. When she was about ten, her older brother had her run to a small village about a mile south of where they lived. While Emma was passing through a small field, she accidentally upset a few Gligar and was chased through the field. [-insert dramatic trip scene here-] A passing trainer suddenly attacked the Gligar, causing them to flee. The Trainer then called back his Pokemon and knelt down to look at Emma. He had kind eyes and a soft voice. The pokemon the Trainer had was a high level Raichu, the attack was Swift. Ironically, the first Pokemon Emma captured was a Pichu. She's earned badges in kanto, Jhoto and Hoenn, but started contests in Sinnoh. Rai-Rai also likes to imitate Emma's movements from time to time Pokémon (6): Raichu - RaiRai - female Mawile - Mella - female Masquerain - Illuse - male Dragonair - Saphi - female Roserade - Rose - male [shiny] Girafarig - Gi - female Edited by Ellechor, 13 Nov 2008, 01:56 AM.

Name: Kathyrin Valym Age: 17 Gender: Female Appearance: Spoiler: click to toggle Home Region: Jhoto Home Town: Violet City Short Biography: Kathyrin never really liked sitting around at home. She knew she loved pokemon so she usually played in big open fields and found places where some pokemon might be hiding to just sit and watch them or sometimes even play with them. One day, she found an Eevee. It was so cute. Or at least in Kathyrin’s opinion. She decided to play with it for awhile. When Kathyrin got up to go up, this Eevee followed her. She ended up telling her mom that she found an Eevee that wanted to play and so she played with it. Her mother let her keep it. Kathyrin was so happy. Since she thought the Eevee was so cute, she ended up calling it Fluffy. When she started her travels at age 11, Eevee became her first pokemon. Eevee was more than happy to accompany Kathyrin on her travels. In fact, Eevee didn’t really want to leave Kathyrin’s side. Pokémon (6): Flareon – Fluffy Raichu Fearow Flygon Azumarill Xatu |

Okay, I'm done, I hate you Kevi ![]() Name: Kandie McCay Age: 15 Gender: Female Appearance: ![]() Home Region: Hoenn Home Town: Fortree City Short Biography: Kandie is, was, has always been an extremely shy girl. She never really had that much of an interest in pokemon until her aunt sent her a box with an Eevee inside, poor thing was starved and thirsty and it took forever to nurse him back to health (it was Kandie's aunts fault, sticking a living pokemon in a box) but the whole process resulted in Kandie becoming almost obsessively interested in pokemon. She began capturing pokemon, though she wasn't good at it and still only has eight or so. Kandie lacks the ability to socialize and tends to space out around people, she has trouble detecting sarcasm, and when people are mean to her she always overreacts. She's not whiny and she doesn't really care if she gets what she wants, but she hates to be corrected as it makes her feel silly. Pokémon (6): Umbreon (Lunedi) Gardevior (Mercurii) Mawlie (Joi) Banette (Saturni) Medicham (Solis) Chimecho (Mardi) |

Dude guys it's not a big deal. Some pokemon people just like. No one used the same pokemon as me. I think. So...OOOOO!!! TAKE THAT!! People like certain types so it's natural that we favor a certain type or species of pokemon. No biggie. EDIT: Frogg copied me!!! ROFL! Edited by Catheri, 15 Nov 2008, 06:34 AM.
