It’s been twenty years since The Heroes of Truth and Ideals faced off in the shattered remains of the Unovan Pokemon League. And eighteen since Team Plasma tried once more to take over the land only to be stopped by the return of their King, the Hero of Truth.
The last eighteen years have been calm, things returning to normal across Unova. Most of the older Gym Leaders have passed on their mantles, their pupils having taken on the challenge of protecting the land from anyone who may have been inspired by Ghestis and Team Plasma. Because even now, the seeds of dissent that were planted by Plasma are sprouting.
For the last five years, trainers from across Unova have traveled to Nuvema Town, where the Tournament of Heroes takes place. In remembrance of the two missing Heroes, who stopped Team Plasma before their plans could come to fruition, Nuvema Town welcomes trainers hoping to follow in their footsteps to battle it out before starting their journeys. The winner is given a sizeable prize, and a decent amount of attention from the media as the ‘Next Big Thing’.
I guess I’ll just get to it.I realized I haven’t had anything to do with a Gym Crawl before, and decided it was about time I changed that. I haven’t GMed for a little while, so bear with me while I get back into the swing of things, but this isn’t my first rodeo when it comes to PTU.
For Fluff, you can be from any of the existing regions, traveling to be a part of the Tournament, or from Unova of course.
Ages between 15 and 18 please. I’m a fan of the players being a bit older then preteens
You can have recieved your starter however you want, within reason of course
For Crunch, we’re gonna be using everything Core and GoT, along with Jailbreaker from DPdoM though no BaD, at least at start.
All the Playtests will be in effect
Trainers will be level one with level five starters, Underdogs only and no Pseudos please
Starters can have one egg move following Playtest restrictions and Skill Backgrounds on a one to one basis
5000 for starting cash
There will be a Skype chat during the recruitment that will get turned into the one for the game once selections have been made
Oh, and recruitment will end on July 11

A couple questions: - First, will this be a "League-Standard" Gym Crawl? Where Trainers are restricted to just giving commands and using Orders? I assume not, since GoT is allowed, which is almost exclusively Trainer Combat classes, but I gotta ask.
- Second, are fakemons (fan-made Pokemon) allowed? Sure, it's unlikely, but why not ask?
- Thirdly, assuming Full-Contact mode is allowed, will Classes with [Weapon] tags start with a Crude/Simple weapon? What are the prices if not (or for non-weapon classes who want one)?

Most Gyms will be league standard, but any wilds you fight and any other trouble you get into will be full contact
Some Fakemon might make their way into the game but don't bet on it too much
Weapons come at 2000 for simple and 4000 for fine

A few questions if you don't mind. 1. What kinds of things are you looking for in your recruitment? (Some gms prefer full character sheets and backstories, some prefer a basic concept and thats all) 2.Are any classes off-limits til later? (I've been in one game that supernatural classes were outlawed until you had a npc teach you)

I prefer full sheets and back stories, or at least a full sheet and a good description of personality. I want to be able to tell how your character is going to interact with the rest of the group.
As for classes, all are available from the start, so long as they're justified in some way!

I've been hoping for a gym crawl to join and Unova was a very interesting region with a neat team. I'm looking forward to see how you show the region's changes after the game events. How is this character?

Any objections to Ghost-types? They're not specifically excluded but at these low levels I feel like starting with one might be a bit powerful.

I'd like to be a part of the fun too, here's my character Triela Croce, the cute girl with the hulking musclebound Pokemon. She really wishes her parents would understand her.

Presenting Dark-type specialist and aspiring inventor, Leon Kingsley from Rustboro. This app makes two assumptions, one being that Steel-types are ok to take as starter, and the other being that Type Sync is allowed. I assumed they were ok, because there were no restrictions for starters beyond underdog non-pseudo and because you specifically said you were using all of GoT which includes Type Sync.

Two things!
One, all the apps so far look great!
Two, I didn't ban any types on purpose. There are enough ways around the early game strength of Steel and Ghost types that I find them acceptable.

Well, here is Kelly Holmes. The sheet is still mostly a work in progress, as is the backstory but it shouldn't take me too long to get everything in order. I'm mainly uploading now to see if I can get some feedback on my backstory

Finishing up the new-and-improved Reggie Crustin, a potential fossil ace (or just a guy with fossils, whatever). Rolls for Shards: Rank 3 Occult, +1 for Skill Stunt, +1 for the book jpwvDxgh1-61-61-61-61-6
For type (by the order listed in the book):
1-6 = Orange 1-6·1-6·1-6·1-6·1-6·1-6

So just to check, are the events of the various games canon to this setting? And if so how long ago were they?
