I SUCK AT RP'ING
Welcome to The Last Resort! I hope you enjoy it here and have a great adventure.

Before you begin, there are a few basic rules and guidelines to help you begin:

1. Begin by creating a character for yourself in the Character Introductions Thread.

2. You may choose only ONE starter Pokemon, which can be any 1st Form Pokemon that you would like, and it starts at level 5. So, for example, you can choose a Vulpix as your starter. Legendaries and 2nd or 3rd evolution Pokemon are OFF LIMITS. **You CANNOT give your Pokemon Egg Moves at the start, if you want your Pokemon to learn an Egg Move, you MUST go to the Move Tutor.

3. You start with $3,000 dollars, 5 Potions, and 10 regular Pokeballs. You can buy additional items as you gain money throughout your adventure by going to the Item Shop. You may also find items throughout your adventure as well.

4. You may NOT start an adventure in more than one Zone at a time.

5. The Zones are run by a Zone Leader, one being run by myself and the other being run by George, and all you do is choose a place to begin and George and I will update everyone's stories as often as we can.

6. Make sure to read and abide by the rules of all of the Shops and other Services available to you.

7. Do NOT use the The Last Resort Lounge as a 2nd CT, it is for discussion relating to The Last Resort ONLY.

8. You cannot make items or Pokemon you want to find appear for yourself or else you may be subject to ejection from The Last Resort.

9. Do NOT complain if things don't go the way you want them to in your storyline. Life is not always fair, plain and simple. Just be optimistic and see where your journey takes you.

10. Do NOT complain if the Zone Leader doesn't update your storyline immediately. Remember: We do all have lives of our own outside of the internet and other things may take priority over giving an update. BE PATIENT with us, please.

**REQUIREMENT 11. It would be helpful to the Zone Leaders as well as the other Members for you to keep track of the Pokemon, Items, and any Special Moves that your Pokemon know by putting a list of your 6 main party Pokemon in your Sig, and to condense on space, put it in a spoiler box and signify that it's your Last Resort Team list.

12. There's not much else to say but have fun and enjoy yourself! If you have any other specific questions, please PM me, I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have.

RP Guidelines:

Basically when you are making your responses, try your best to use details and give more than 3 word responses. Sometimes only a short response is necessary but when you can, try to use dialogue as well, be it with your pokemon or even just saying the thoughts running through your character's mind, this way your character has a little bit of development and the zone leaders can get a good idea of what your character is like and how they think. It makes it much more enjoyable and can help the zone leaders increase the quality of your story if you can give responses that expand further than a simple sentence like "[Insert character's name] walks down the path with his pokemon sidekick." Simple responses like that, unless the situation calls for it, are difficult to work with as a zone leader.

Also, it is important that you do not try to overstep boundaries as far as what happens. It is okay to make things happen to a point, but you are not allowed to make certain pokemon appear or control how an opponent pokemon reacts in a battle or what happens to the opponents' pokemon in a battle, that is up to the zone leaders to control.

Last Resort FAQ:

Q: Do I need approval or something before I start my adventure, or can I start posting in a zone right away?
A: You don't need approval, you can just start your adventure. (BBM)

Q: Can I post in multiple zones?
A: NO, you cannot post in multiple zones at once. You are able to change zones if you want, but ONLY if you are NOT in the middle of a battle or another important event. You may ask George and I at any point if you think you want to change to the other zone. All that we will do is basically put your current adventure on 'Hold', and you'll continue where you left off when you return. (BBM)

Q: When you catch a pokemon, does it's HP restore to its maximum?
A: Yes, their health is restored once they're in their Pokeball. (BBM)

Q: How do we know when Pokemon recover HP?
A: The system for HP recovery essentially is left up to each individual Zone Leader and may differ between zones.

Q: Will we be able to battle/meet other LR players?
A: It is entirely possible to encounter other LR players in your zone adventures. (BBM)

Q: How do we make money?
A: You might find money or complete a task for money. There is no reason why a trainer wouldn't give you money for defeating them.

Q: Is HP Randomly Picked?
A: The answer is yes and no. George and I have developed a system for determining HP, however we may tweak it slightly to add variation. That's as far into it as I'll go, but just know that we DO have a system for it. (BBM)



Question not answered? Just ask in here.
