World

Welcome to the planet of Eone, in the Miltank Way Galaxy.

Eone is exactly like P'kona, the planet where the canon Pokemon games take place. It is split into regions, most of which are inhabited by Pokemon and Pokemon Trainers.

Eone is unknown to P'kona, and vise versa. In fact, they could each exist in a slightly alternate universe from the other! Imagine that.

(Note: P'kona and such are fanmade names. Nothing in this article is canon, and was made for the purpose of the RP.)


Forum Set-up

On the EC forums, we take a different approach to roleplaying. Instead of one storyline that goes absolutely nowhere and spans many years, we have short, 1-6 week storylines played with different trainers and in different regions. Each individual RP is known as a "Game" or an "Event".

GAMES are 1 to 3 week roleplays with usually a single goal. There are always 2 or more Games going on at once, and each member can participate in as many as they want - though for most Games, a different character is required. After the main numbered Games are over, the SEASON of 1 month (usually, can be longer or shorter) comes to an end with an Event.

EVENTS happen after all Games have completed/neared completion. Events take every character that has participated in a Game and mush them all together in a culmination of both Game's storylines. Plot threads are resolved, enemies are defeated, prizes are won.

After the SEASON is over, characters usually hang up their hats and retire.

"But wait! If I'm just getting rid of my character, then why should I play your stupid RP?"

Character/Player Advancement

After each Season has finished, the mods and forum members vote on who they think did the best job/was the most fun to play with/etc during that season. Those who place receive prizes which can then be used to upgrade their Player Level, used on their current character, or be passed on to their next character. They can also be given away or traded.

For example: Frecyo's character Kenny won the "MVP Award" for Season 1. That season's MVP Award rewards a Onini egg. Frecyo takes the Onini egg and passes it onto his next character, Bob, who can then use Onini in place of one of their regular starters. Frecyo could also trade in the egg for Player Points, which could them be used to up his Player Level, give the egg to or trade the egg with Shed, or keep the Onini Egg with Kenny.

Player Level, in addition to looking cool on your profile, allows for things such as:

More starter choices
Access to more features
Consideration to be included in the Update Team
etc.

Another thing to note - sometimes there will be Games in which you can dust off your old characters to play with again. Don't neglect them! ;D


If you have any more questions about how the RP is handled, check the other topics in this forum which get down to the nitty-gritty of mechanics.

We hope you enjoy your time at TEC!
