If you have an idea for the purpose of the clan feel free to tell me because right now the PTC has no purpose and will probabley not live long without one (As I've been told) |

Usually, clans or anything of the sort offers some kind of service to its members. Keep that in mind when coming up with the purpose. I've got no particular goals in mind, but I have access to many Pokemon that some others don't have access to, and a load of shiny Pokemon. I'd be more than happy to arrange a few give-aways or events, or what have you to get this place up and running. |

Some kind of service to the members eh? I'll keep that in mind. When I got on earlier I was thinking of making the clan into a kind of "Pokemon School" what do you think about the idea? Good idea? Bad idea? Dumb idea? |

A Pokemon School is a bit of a stretch, unless you have tons of unique knowledge that's worth sharing. Every piece of information anybody could ever want or need about Pokemon is already found on Serebii, Smogon, or the FAQ section of Gamefaqs. Many other guilds and clans offer services such as: helping people to collect shiny/event Pokemon, cloning, hacking etc.. Other than services, many also host monthly (and/or weekly) events/give-aways, and many also have gyms hosted by members that call themselves gym leaders. These gym leaders usually specialize in a specific type of Pokemon, and are challenged usually by members who would win a prize if they won. Ultimately, whatever the purpose is going to be, it must be attractive enough that people want to join. It'd also be wise to keep in mind that many (if not most) people who join clans/guilds do so only to reap the benefits available. I'll be on until 10:00 pm EST if you need me for anything.

oh ok haven't been on the pokemon message boards for a while so I don't remember much about clans and guilds (used to be part of 2 clans/guilds) Also, I can clone & (mabe) hack pokemon (haven't hacked a pokemon for a while though) but we should find another person to do our cloning & hacking because I only play games Friday nights, on the weekends, and on school breaks. I think we should wait until we get a few more members before we start the gyms Btw what do you mean by "many (if not most) people who join clans/guilds do so only to reap the benefits available"?

I am pretty comfortable with hacking and cloning, since I've done it around a hundred times, so I can take care of any requests and such. What I meant by that last line was that most people who join clans/guilds join only because they are only interested in what they get out of it (the give-aways, events, and prizes). You can easily take advantage of such an idea by using such methods to attract members, but also keep in mind that you may not attract many loyal members that are willing to help out. |
