Do you have the skills to be number one?

The Pokémon AU Meme


How it works:
1. Post with your character's name and fandom. (And preferences if you desire.)
2. Feel free to post some set-up for your character in the Pokémon world!
3. If you wish, use the RNG to decide a scenario to play out. If not, just go crazy with the possibilities the Pokémon world has to offer!
4. Have the thread take place in any region you like!
5. Reference Bulbapedia as needed!
6. Have fun and play nice!

Options:
01. Battle!
It's one of the biggest parts of training Pokémon! Maybe you're up against a gym leader, or having a practice battle with a friend, or anywhere in between! It's time to show that you've got what it takes.

02. Traveling!
On the road to Viridian City~. Traveling is less lonely with companions! Whether they're a long-time travel buddy or someone you're just meeting now, at least it's someone.

03. Camp!
Time for you to set up camp! Are you part of a group? Or are you sharing your camp ground with a stranger? Either way, it's probably been a long day... And another one is on tap for tomorrow. So rest up!

04. Contest!
From any part of a contest itself, to preparations, to coordinators sharing tips (or bickering) backstage, there are a lot of possibilities when it comes to a Pokémon contest!

05. Just Arrived!
You just got to town! Maybe you're just passing through, or maybe you're moving in. Either way, it's a good idea to meet someone to show you around, huh?

06. Team [Blank]!
Rocket? Magma? Aqua? Galactic? Plasma? Whoever it is, something's amiss! There are a lot of choices here: Maybe someone's identity as a member of a villainous team is just being revealed, or two teammates are on a mission together, or hanging around the base. Perhaps there's a confrontation between honest trainer and villain, or maybe there's an attempt at recruiting going on, or anything else you can think of!

07. At My Job!
Pokémarts and Pokécenters don't run themselves, you know. For the sake of this meme, maybe more than just Nurse Joys work as nurses, and more than Officer Jennys make up the police force. Whatever it is, you're juts doing your job. Is someone making it difficult for you, or is it an easy day?

08. Breeder!
Breeders bring out the best in their Pokémon in every sense. Whether you're both breeders, or one of you is a curious trainer, it's not a bad idea to gain some knowledge in this field!

09. Wild Beedrill!
Or something, anyway. Maybe you could handle one or two, but a whole swarm? That's a little much! Time to high-tail it out of there!

10. Mystery Dungeon!
In the way of the Mystery Dungeon games, you were once a human in the Pokémon world... But now you're a Pokémon! Time to interact with others of your kind, whether they were also transformed, or have been Pokémon all along! You can follow the concepts of Mystery Dungeon as closely or as loosely as you want! To find out which Pokémon you've become, head back to the RNG and generate a number from 1 to 649, or just take your pick!

11. Wild Card!
Pick anything you want from above, or make up your own scenario!

There's no point in breeding them if you don't bother putting them to good use.

Do you define "use" as putting them to battle? Do you believe they are only "useful" when they are working for you against another?

You must be new.

Enlighten me, then.
wishgazer: (The night is contemplating)

Certain species can only be found through breeding. And only certain moves can be found by breeding different Pokémon.

Some trainers give me their Pokémon, and I return them with eggs in tow.

Of course, if you have to ask, then you don't know what I'm talking about.

So, what, you're only in it for profit?
wishgazer: (Was it destiny that brought this on?)

[personal profile] wishgazer 2012-03-08 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not interested in the money. I just enjoy having knowledge, and experience and work are my best teachers.

Why, are you thinking of commissioning me?

That depends on if you're not just all talk.

Did you know that a Natu or Xatu, when bred with a father from the Murkrow line, knows Sucker Punch from hatching?

[Said Xatu may have blinked. MAY. And may have moved. Who knows.]
