Site Rules

[[ADMINISTRATOR]]

The rules that shall apply to basically every thread, board, category and Cbox on the site.

i. Respect everyone on the site, that includes staff members. Respect their culture, religion and beliefs, we don't want a fight breaking out and then Staff will be forced to ban all members involved for a certain amount of time.

ii. No one wants someone going down their throat at every moment of the day to post, especially when they are busy with work in the real world. Every one will post at their own pace, and please respect that.

iii. Battles will be as fair as possible and realistic. That means NO POWERPLAYING (controlling another chacter's moves and assuming your attack hits or not) will be tolerated! On top of that, there is no way a lv.3 Aipom can defeat a lv.15 Golem... Use your common sense.

iv. There will be no legendaries up for capture. Your character may not have encountered them in their history bio, but here in Johto IC they can encounter one at random during play in threads. You can befriend one, but you may never capture one unless it is for a plot and all staff members have agreed.

v. You may not encounter a wild pokemon and catch one with out Role Playing the capture with a staff member as the wild pokemon. Please, for frustration sake, post in our WILD REQUEST BOARD and await one of our staff members to come join you in your thread. You may not have more then one request at a time, and you may encounter up to 5 pokemon in one thread before it is forcefully closed.

vi. We do use a leveling system here, Exp. Points will be added and deducted in their proper threads.

vii. Your pokemon can evolve once it hits it's evolution level, but if it needs an item; you need to buy it at the shop like every one else, or find it on your journey (staff will indicate when you find an Item in a thread which will be at random).

viii. You may only have six pokemon at hand on your travels, but extra pokemon can be place in your PC.

ix. New moves will be learned by your pokemon either by leveling up, or by TM/HMs. TMs may be bought of obtained in a gym leader battle, while HMs are bought only. Your pokemon may learn moves up to 20 levels higher then their current level.

x. Gym leaders and Elite members may only have one type of pokemon to battle with when they are doing their jobs, and such pokemon will have a limit to what level they can reach. They can have stronger pokemon in PC or at hand while traveling, but if being challenged by a trainer, they must have only one element with them if it is to be an official indigo league challenge.

xi. In character posts, when Role Playing, posts must be at least 200 words and more. We are a semi literate to literate site, so we would appreciate it if it stayed that way. Absolutely no one liners!

xii. No choppy posts; she bent over, she picked up her pencil. walked out of the bar, and started to walk on the streets. it gets dull and annoying after a while and tends to be a real muse killer...

xiii. You may start off with only one starter pokemon, and you will have the choice of starting off with the number of your trainer type's pokemon will allow (breeders and TR are the only ones allowed up to two) unless you are a gym leader or Elite member.

xiv. You may only have one character per account. If you possess more than one character, then you should have multiple accounts for each character.
