i just joined after hearing about this site on pinterest, and I didn't realize it was also an rp thing??
that said, anyone want to do one with me? i've been rping for about four years now (and nah, I don't type in all lowercase when i'm actually writing)
i don't have very many ideas, but i've been really into pokemon lately, so maybe that?
oh, thank you!
You're welcome!
stares at all the other RPs I just joined/made
glances over at unfinished stories and art projects
looks remorsefully at color guard flag that I've yet to practice with
Ehh one more RP couldn't hurt…
ha, felt that
you're totally welcome to join regardless
would you like a pokemon themed rp? and if so, what gens are you most familiar with? i'm most familiar with 6, 7 & 8 (i only played for 7 hours today after restarting shield lmao)
Sure, why not? I'm most familiar with 2, 5, 7, and 8. HeartGold is my favorite game so Johto holds a dear place in my heart, but White was my first game. Gen 6 wasn't super memorable for me, but I've played the heck out of gens 7 and 8.
x was my first, and i've only briefly played the beginning of platinum outside the others i mentioned lol. but yeah, same on the latter part of that statement. considering the newer ones are the (potentially) freshest in our minds, would you prefer gens 7 or 8?
my vote is for 8, but i wouldn't complain at 7
I'm good with 8, ngl Sword's actually one of my favorites
that works out then lol, because i absolutely love shield
do you want to have our characters challenge all the gyms and such, or take a more freestyle route where we just kinda bump into each other and go from there?
Doesn't really matter to me, whichever one you prefer.
i think i'd prefer to take the gym route, then, if you're sure you're fine with it
also, here's my character. feel free to keep descriptions short for yours, if you'd like!
name - august
age - 15
gender/pronouns - male; he/him or they/them
appearance/outfit - https://pin.it/3hwUIU5 (this is actually my avatar in the file i started yesterday, fyi)
personality - observant, respectful, shy, expressive
background (optional) - n/a
team - togatic, zigzagoon (galarian), rookidee
refreshing this 'cause i wouldn't mind another (one other) person joining
Ahhh sorry I'm late, been busy. Even in quarantine I can't catch a break lmao. No promises that I'll be able to start today though.
Name: Marie Matlock
Age: 15
Gender/Pronouns: Female; she/her
Appearance: https://i.pinimg.com/236x/20/ba/72/20ba7252304b8525cf4bc533c0ab4a2c.jpg (I just changed my avatar lol)
Personality: Marie is very curious and doesn't shy away from people at all. She tends to jot things down in her notebook the second she sees something "important", which can freak people out a little. Marie can switch from "bubbly friendly excitable puppy" mode to "super intense battle" mode in an instant, and this doesn't help when trying not to unnerve people.
Background: Marie is from Mistralton City, Unova, and moved to Turfield with her father recently. She's competing in the Gym Challenge to try and learn more about the region and possibly catch the eye of Galar's professor, but seems to have another motive that she's more hesitant to let on about…
Pokemon team: Litwick, Klink, Rufflet, Dreepy, Grubbin, Electrike(obviously she doesn't have them all right off the bat lol)
Am i late?

August was expecting his first venture into the wild area to be a peaceful retreat from the bustle of Motostoke. He’d go out into the gently swaying grass and maybe even catch himself a new team member to train with, if he was lucky.
He was not expecting to be chased around by a pokemon that looked strong enough to take on the entirety of Galar and win.
“Togetic!” he exclaimed, holding fast to the Zigzagoon in his arms and glancing at the fairy/flying type pokemon fluttering by his side. “Use charm and follow up with fairy wind!”
The pokemon obliged, hovering just out of range of the angry Bisharp. Said Bisharp faltered as the moves took effect, giving August just enough time to call back Togetic with a grateful “Thanks!” and sprint off in a different direction.
Taking advantage of the enemy pokemon’s distraction, he hightailed it around a rock, hoping it would go away if he was no longer in sight. The only thing he didn’t take into account was crashing into a…person?
Oh thank Arceus it’s not another angry pokemon.
Nick saw August throw the stone at someone. He'd smile and laugh. Suddenly a wild pokemon jumped out of the bushes and he was forced to fight. He sent out his Alolin Richu. "Richu! Use Spark!" Richu used spark and knocked out the pokemon. "Aw i needed a Rattatada!" He'd Get Richu back into his Pokeball and walk on. He was trying to get A rattatata for his little sister but he always knocked it out. He sighed, not giving up.
Marina looked around the spot she was standing in. It was peaceful enough, and she could use a break. "Alright, guys, let's stop here for now," she said, looking at her Pokemon. Litwick and Klink were walking and floating next to her, and Rufflet was perched on her shoulder. "We'll rest up for a bit, then check out that lake. Sound good to you?" Her Pokemon chirruped in response. Rufflet flew down off of Marina's shoulder, and the Trainer took off her backpack and started rummaging through it, looking for something.
That is, until someone came crashing into her, bowling her over and sending her backpack and its contents flying.
