Rules, folks.

1. Please respect your fellow RPers. Nothing offensive should be said here, about anyone. Except fictional people. 'Cause that's fun.
2. Please only post your own work. Don't plagiarize. That's lame.
3. Please no spamming or posting things in the wrong section, i.e. advertising in the RP boards. That ain't cool, we'll probably boot you.
4. No trolling, please. I realize this is a stupid thing to put here, but we'll kick you out.
5. Please no chatspeak, at the very least in the RP boards. If you HAVE to do it OOC, just know everyone will think a lot less of you and probably won't listen to a thing you have to say. =)
6. There are no official rules regarding profanity and sexual themes, except that they cannot be too graphic. You can be fairly suggestive, just don't go into any kind of detail. No one cares about two people you made up getting it on, don't post that shit on the internet.

Account rules:
1. Only one account per person. If we find you've doubled up on accounts, we'll delete one(probably the one with more experience).
2. Signatures will contain character information that is only to be tampered with by staff. If we see you've changed anything in your signature, we'll just delete everything there: You'll have no money or items or Pokémon. It'll be fuckin' rad.

In-character rules:
1. One hundred words per character post. Just a courtesy you should extend to those you are roleplaying with.
2. You can take on any gym in the league in any order, but you have to travel there, first.
3. You get your starter Pokémon after you post a character sheet and it is accepted. You may then go to a lab and choose any Pokémon that has been a starter in the main series so far(including Pikachu and Eevee).
4. Powerplaying is lame- we don't appreciate you shoving someone into your attack with your words. If someone dodged an attack, let it slide. The same goes for the opposite- if someone pretty clearly hit you with an attack, don't keep attempting to worm your way out. If you really can't settle it, call in a mod.
5. Wild Pokémon are controlled by admins, global moderators, architects, moderators, temp mods and ghost temps only. Your character can acknowledge Pokémon sounds, spot them, have something ridiculous happen because of them - but you can't control the Pokémon directly. Just make sure it doesn't bridge into powerplaying.
6. Leveling is to be managed by mods. They'll hook everything up. They are also supposed to ask you if you would like to make modifications to your moveset upon leveling into a new move. If they don't, no worries. Just send one a PM, asking them politely. Evolution will work the same way.
7. The Pokédex can translate most Pokémon speech for you. Some Psychic Pokémon can also translate for you. But none of you will be able to understand or- for God's sake- READ MINDS.
8. HM's are actually going to be hidden. Meaning some of you will only get Surf, and some of you will only get Fly. You'll have to do quite a bit of scouring if you really want a certain HM, though some of you may get one by accident. You may only fly to a place you have previously visited, but not necessarily just a town. You also can use a Pokémon to "surf" over a small pool of water, but not across a river or the ocean or anything bigger than a pond.
