    Private/Closed Journey in the Galar Region! (Discussion)

    Sorry for my inactivity, finals week has been keeping me busy. It appears that activity on the roleplay is pretty low right now. I think people are are unsure what to do and tired of having their characters make small talk. @Cryronn the Mudkip: Not to tell you how to run your roleplay, but you...

    Private/Closed Journey in Galar! (Roleplay)

    Anders ogled Sonia as she walked past him to the center of the lab. She was taller than he had pictured in his head, but it could have just been the cyan heels she was wearing. Anders suddenly felt lucky that he was also tall. He pushed past the group of other Trainers and approached Sonia, a...

    "Everyone else will have to wait for Sonia to come by, and she’s almost here...” "Wait?" Anders mumbled to himself. "All I've done today is wait." He sighed with frustration, blowing away lock of blond hair that was obstructing his view. He decided his Endorsement wasn't worth making a scene...

    @EeviumZ, Anders is 17 and very tall. He could definitely take on an older brother role.

    @EeviumZ: Anders is a very quiet character, so that could be a fun dynamic. He hasn't interacted with anyone outside of Hop yet.

    I am in EST. (But I'm also a college student, so I'm awake at weird times.) As of right now, I see this being Anders's team. Themes: Normal Theme | Special Occasion Theme | Champion Cup Theme

    Private/Closed Journey in Galar! (Roleplay)

    Anders was a bit overwhelmed by the other Trainers, all of whom seemed to be either conversing with one another or shouting at Hop. He slipped past the group without drawing attention to himself. He did not feel particularly shy, but he did not want to be held up at the lab any longer. (He...

    I'm still debating between Anders being a Gym Challenger or aspiring to become a researcher, so my team will likely change depending on which path he chooses. However, my starter was Galarian Darumaka and Darmanitan has already been taken. In addition, I planned on using Appletun, though I can't...

    I'm a bit confused. Does it matter whether or not characters have duplicate Pokémon on their final teams? I'm late to this and a lot of my favorites have already been taken.

    Private/Closed Journey in Galar! (Roleplay)

    Anders enjoyed his stroll through Wedgehurst, despite what his humorless expression might have let on. Saru walked beside him, continuing to be enticed to follow his Trainer toward the lab by Rawst Berries. Anders wondered if Darumaka outside of Galar shared the same fondness for the small blue...

    Private/Closed Journey in Galar! (Roleplay)

    Anderson Hjelmstad stepped off of the train and onto the platform at Wedgehurst Station. The weary-eyed hulk stretched and patted down a few flyaway blond hairs. Public transportation did not particularly cater to tall passengers, especially those as gangly as Anders was. Wedgehurst was more...

    Ask to Join Gym Leader Academy

    "Nice to meet you!" Colin replied, wiping a sweaty hand on his pants before extending it for Dahlia to shake. "Colin. Nacrene City, huh? I'm from Unova too - Lacunosa Town." He reached into his pack, which he had placed on the floor behind his seat, and retrieved two Poké Balls. "I should...

    @Cryronn the Mudkip: Hey! No rush, but I put up an application. :)

    Ask to Join Gym Leader Academy

    "Thanks!" Colin replied, obliging to take the seat. He was a bit too large to sit comfortably, but he figured he would only be seated for a short amount of time. "This is Nimbus," he explained, signaling for the Swablu to land on his shoulder. He plucked a Cheri Berry off of his tray and held...

    Ask to Join Gym Leader Academy

    An athletic young man raced towards the entrance of the Gym Leader Academy, his white tennis sneakers clapping against the pavement, and nearly skidded to a halt outside of the school's iron gate, which stood ajar. He eagerly tore his PokéGear from the band that fastened it to the middle of his...
