To be honest, Erica doesn't really have a preferrence on pokemon, so if you wanted to do first come first serve, that's fine.
Oh, also, should we set up a skype group for our ooc? Those are always really helpful.

I think a first come, first served would not be a bad thing, however I would love a starter geared a little bit more to defense, to make a good start on my general idea. Type, I don't really care about.
As for Skype, I've personally never used this before. I'm probably not in the same timezone as you guys (Netherlands) so this might be an issue.

Not live skype. Just for messaging and quick ooc.

I mean, starter-wise, I'd def prefer either a Fire or Water type since I kiiiiiinda don't like Grass types usually but I'm pretty sure Haruka would gravitate to anything particularly cute or mystical looking. Maybe something a little more offensive to offset Haruka's passiveness.
Then again, something ridiculously over the top and tough looking would be kinda funny for Haruka to end up with, hmm...
But yeah, I'd want something skewed maybe a bit toward offenses or speed over other things.
Also I wouldn't mind a Skype chat but I kinda prefer Discord? I can use either though if you want to go the Skype route.
Just for future reference I'm in PST, though I work during the evening usually so I'll typically be busy past like 4 PST.

I've got discord too, so that could work. I've just found it helps games out so I bring it up immediately lol. Basically just this thread but you get a sound notification or something rather than having to just be happening to look at the site and seeing an update.

Ok! So I think my standard starters are gonna be just fine and you, guys, can take your pick. I kinda have a feeling you'll each gravitate toward one of them by what I read. And I agree a discord group could be good. Obviously not for live, but for an easier OOC communication. You could discuss your picks before posting, for example, as well as where to go next, if you have interest in Pokémon that you're fighting and stuff like that, without ever "clogging" the game thread. So I made a group if you wanna join. Everybody cool with starting, then?

Super! So, the game thread is now posted. I thought you'd be better for you to have traveled separatedly, especially since you come from different regions. That will let you develop bonds and interpersonal drama along the way, with no background whatsoever. I didn't want to rush anything and let you describe your character's reactions and thoughts as they arrive before pushing you into decisions xD

I thought you would. You said you wanted something defensive and Iguard is just that. But don't rush, take your time.

No rushing here boss I Always type my posts out before I publish them, giving them a couple of glances over to see if I'm saying everything I want to in a single post. Still a bit new to PBP for that matter, but I feel I'm catching on fairly quickly. M_M

Ok, just so you know, I altered the initial OoC post with links that we might need while playing. This includes all your sheets, the pokédex link and a mini guide to adding the new stuff to your sheet so it calculates stuff automatically as it does with the regular stuff.
Working on the game post now =)

Oh, so... just as a thing to establish, did you want us to RP our starters or leave that for you to do?

I wrote about it in the post.
Since they are your starters, I let you develop their personalities and general behavior for now. Once I know what kind of interactions you have, I will RP them from time to time. I mean, in battles, you can decide the moves and attitudes and all, but out of combat, when you're feeding, or training or simply wandering, they will be mostly NPCs I can use xD

P much Haruka wants to do training so she can apply Exp Training and Inspired Training to Kasai, we don't have to go over it, it can just be a little timeskip where it's said Dean teaches her a few things and then we can go from there.
Also Haruka can change Natures and Abilities for Tutor Points, so hit her up if you want those switched for any reason. Oh, and she can teach moves up to 7 levels above a pokemon's current level for a Tutor Point too, but that's a little less useful since you won't be getting that point back when you do learn it naturally. Aaaaaand anything with an (N) in the Tutor list is free game too as long as it follows the tutoring rules

I wouldn't mind doing these intial trainings as a timeskip, unless Imtobe wants us to write them out. I'l be doing some training with Iguard as well, but I'd be ok with writing up the exchange if that's preferable.
