Welcome to Darkest Dawn, a Pokemon forum based on Johto. Darkthorn's military group is recruiting trainers from all over the world, training them for the rigors of battle, and sending them out to combat the raising threat of Team Rocket to be rid of them once and for all. The only problem is that the new Team Rocket isn't as docile as it has been in the past few years. Their tactics are increasingly aggressive and bold as they grow in numbers...

The outcome in the darkest hours before the dawn is anyone's guess...

A minimum of 150 words per post is now instated for RP sections.

Make certain to read up on updates to adoption rules.
A warning: Do not spam the C-box or it will auto temp ban you! :<

Background
Years of peace have broken, Team Rocket has returned from the underground for revenge. In response, the Johto government has mobilized a new way to combat the group, realizing that resting its hopes on the Elite Four, who are already busy with their responsibilities of diplomacy and policing various regions, is like throwing hope to the wind. This new organization pulls young trainers from all regions, putting each trainer through rigorous training ending at the Dragon's Den in Blackthorn City. Named Darkthorn, in honor of the last test a trainer has to pass before being allowed to ascend to traveling the world, the military group travels, training their unique teams of twenty, combining to become a formidable foe against the increasingly violent actions of Team Rocket.

Upon graduating from the Dragon's Den test, each soldier is sent first back to Goldenrod Base to collect a Pokemon from one of the adoption agencies, a Pokemon who already knows hardship and will be willing to stick with his or her new trainer through thick and thin. Each new partnership formed is sent to New Bark Town to begin learning the art of being a trainer.

How to Start
First, you must go to the Rules and read up. Next, head to the Registration form and fill out an application, make certain that you follow all of the guidelines. Once you are approved, a moderator will post your profile on the profile page (you will not do this yourself), and give you your starter pack. From there, it is advised to head to an adoption center to pick out a Pokemon to come with you on your travels (limit of one adoption per adoption agency per day). Next, feel free to head to New Bark Town and post your topic. You may ask for a ref, or just have someone join in on the fun!

Base Activities Explained
Unlike anywhere else, not all threads require for you to be "in character".

Adopting: Thanks to the convenience of modern technology, you don't have to miss a thing. If a Pokemon you really want comes up at an adoption center in Goldenrod, you are capable of adopting it and having it sent to your party in a matter of minutes. (IC optional)

Breeding: If you wish, you may send up to two of your Pokemon to the breeding center, but they will be there for three day's time, so be forewarned, you may not use them in battle, roleplay, trade, or any other activities until the breeding is finished. Again, the transaction is instant, and does not require you to physically go to Goldenrod City. (IC optional)

Battle Range: A good way to earn a large amount of Marks at any point in time, you may write a story for the current scenario, up to two battles per scenario, in order to level up your Pokemon. (IC story format)

Goldenrod Basement: A place to trade in your Marks for items, such as TMs, evolutionary items, Pokeballs... you may also sell extra items to the Basement for half of the sales value. (IC optional)

Pokemon Clubhouse: A place for people to gather and unwind after a hard day's work. The military offers the perk of its trainers being allowed access to a proto-type method of human transportation that is located in the Pokemon Centers and laboratories of each town. Whenever one likes, they may use this method of transportation to return to the base of operations. The clubhouse is equipped with a large backyard, the rafters are high for the larger Pokemon, and a pool is included for the water-lovers. Many couches are also included for quick naps or movie-viewing pleasure. After all, we all have to unwind. (IC roleplay)

Roleplaying

The emphasis of Darkest Dawn is on the fun of the roleplay and not on the technicalities of being in a world you cannot control. That is why, unless you are in the process of being involved with Pokemon or NPCs, you do not -need- a ref. In fact, if you so wished, you could train a team of powerful Pokemon without even having a journey, but that wouldn't be very fun now, would it?
