Pokémon Ultima Tournament II (Sign-Ups/OOC/OPEN)

[The Union of Myanmar]

IC THREAD: viewtopic.php?f=25&t=171345

Prologue
It has been twenty years since the first Ultima Tournament. Millions of people from around the world will never forget the horrific battle for humanity, and many more still regard the honorable victory atop Mt. Ultima as one of the most historic moments in history.

Nineteen Ultima Tournaments have taken place since then, and many young & aspiring trainers have reached their goal of becoming the Ultima Champion. It’s that time of year again as the 21st Ultima Tournament is about to get underway.

After careful scouting, the Ultima Committee has chosen the region of Shinra as the host of this year’s tournament. Shinra is a region full of different locations and environments. Unlike earthly Toho or the other five regions, it is not home to any myths or legends. Shinra is home to technology; its people embrace science, metal and knowledge. It was one of the last regions in the world to be developed, but that didn't stop colonists from Johto who transformed the primitive Shinra into the advanced and booming region that it is today.

Yet despite the scientific atmosphere, there are a few who believe in the supernatural...

While most of the Ultima Tournaments have been conducted with little to no problem, the tournament committee, led by the bright & young Professor Oak, is concerned about a cult obsessed with psychic and ghost Pokémon. Though the cult hasn't caused any problems, it is disturbing to know that they are around.

However, this hasn't deterred anyone from applying to become an Ultima Tournament contestant. Many trainers from all over the world have begun applying, but only seventeen will be chosen as the final contestants for the Ultima Tournament.

IC Tournament Rules

Welcome, Pokémon trainer, to the 21st Ultima Tournament! The UT Committee hopes that this will be a fun and exciting adventure for trainers from all regions! Do adhere to the following rules, and may the best trainer win!
1. Trainers may carry up to six Pokémon with them at any time. Access a PC at Pokémon Centers to switch or store Pokémon.
2. Only one Pokémon per location & route may be caught.
3. Trainers may trade Pokémon amongst each other.
4. Trainers may battle with each other anywhere. Please do not disturb the locals and damage their property.
5. Trainers may interact with locals in Shinra (refer to the Cities/Town descriptions above to get an idea of who you can talk to).
6. Trainers may challenge Gym Leaders in any order. Defeating a Gym Leader earns an Ultima Badge and an evolutionary stone.
— Defeating three of a Gym Leader's Pokémon will earn trainers an Ultima Badge and an evolutionary stone.
— Trainers may not use items (potions, ethers, etc.) on their Pokémon during gym battles.
— Pokémon may not hold and use items such as berries during gym battles.
— Once you beat your 4th Gym Leader, any Gym challenge after that is a full 6 Pokémon battle instead of a 3 Pokémon battle.
6. The first four trainers to acquire all eight Gym Badges will be the Shinra region's Elite Four.
7. The Elite Four will battle each other in a group tournament at Konsolus Stadium to decide the winner of the Ultima Tournament XXI.

OOC Rules

1. No godmodding attacks, abilities, leveling up. Refer to http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Main_Page if you are unsure of how a Pokémon evolves, what moves it can learn, etc.
2. With regards to the City/Town descriptions, Gym Leaders and underlined names are RP'ed by the OP and Co-OPs. Bolded names are RP'ed by the OP. Full interactions with all other characters may be RP'ed by trainers.
3. Please give detailed posts. Like the concurrent Pokémon RP, we do not require long posts but we would appreciate detailed ones.
4. Unlike the game, certain Pokémon do not need to be traded, do not need to be in a certain location and do not need to be holding special items to evolve.
— Pokémon that evolve using evolutionary stones will still need to evolve using Evolutionary stones (one will be handed out by each Gym Leader; each trainer will eventually get a total of eight out of the possible ten stones).
5. Disregard the Surf ability as a means to travel on Sea Routes. You may RP using a boat to travel along it, or simply just say you're on a Sea Route.
6. Trainers may opt to do gym battles or any battle using the Pokémon Online - Battle Simulator (See below).
7. Have fun!

Pokémon Online - Battling Simulator Tutorial
This is done on the Mac. I'm assuming the PC version is similar

Open PO and click on Team Builder

Change trainer avatar and trainer name. Then, click on the green tabled labelled "Team Building".

Select your Pokémon. For this tutorial, I chose Magnemite.


1. Adjust stats (510 stat points available to "spend")
2. Select moves (please do not go overboard with powerful moves early in the RP)
3. Click 'Advanced' -> 'Side Window'
4. DO NOT adjust your Pokémon's level. KEEP at Lvl 100.
5. Select an Ability
6. DO NOT give an item.
7. SAVE YOUR TEAM. File -> Save Team

Example

When battling online, load your team. Go to the "Pokémon Online" server. Find the name of your challenger and double-click the name to battle. Check the "Save Log" box on the battle screen to record your battle. Follow this tutorial (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SITN1X7dNFU) to convert your battle log file into a video for all of us to watch and enjoy.

Say, could we maybe have my character from last time running around as an NPC? I'm too busy to RP this but I'd like to see Kenneth in this.
Thanks!

Yay!

To give you a few hints on how I'd like to see him, I'd like to see him with a Hydregion, Blaziken, Charizard, Manectric, Persian, and Mightyena; the Blaziken will be named Firefury and the Persian Giovanni(references to these Pokemon were made last RP, he's owned them all before). The moves are up to you. He'll dislike water types(as always) and will often fondly recall his breif time adventuring in Toho. He'll give anyone who wants a battle one, though, and may give out advice afterwards. As for his role and job, a gym leader? Someone on the routes? Oak's assistant? That's up to you.
Thanks again!

EDIT: TaQud's right. And you don't need to write down your Pokémon's moves. Just be realistic with them during the RP. A Pidgey wouldn't be able to use Hurricane right from the get-go, for example.
