It's not something you need to ask special permission for, but keep in mind that RP characters need to make sense within their context and canonically, Dynamax Bands do not fall from the sky. Sort of.

... I mean, the wishing stars they're made of do obviously, but the actual bands themselves appear to be reserved for endorsed gym challengers and what have you - not necessarily ones that even got particularly far in the challenge that particular league season, but still.

(Also keep in mind that, as in the games, dynamaxing is restricted to power spots such as the ones the Galarian gyms are built on).

if it's your thread and the person is being a disruption, report them and request their removal from the thread, and we can do that.

Officially released content may be used, yes - with the exception of things considered legendary. ^^

Does Kubfu count? My mind's still on the fence on seeing it as legendary or not because it can evolve and all that.

Edit: Never mind, I've seen that thing you wrote which answered my question.

Why not? Gen 8 has been released for a while! The only Pokemon you are not allowed to use are ones that have not been released and are as of yet unobtainable. ^^

Which forum would it go to? It won't fit in PRP Discussion, that's for sure. XD

Sounds like something for Pokémon Chat. ^^

They're not entirely against the rules - closed RPs are absolutely a thing! - but we've had some people attempt to solicit 1x1 RPs for purposes that would be against our rules, so that might invite some scrutiny.

Also, no, "aesthetic" choices don't enter into consideration when RP is concerned. Proper capitalization, please. Your posts should stand out on their content and not on their looks.

thank you for your answers, much appreciated!! ♥

The rules do not explicitly disallow that sort of thing, however keep in mind the "Violence in RP" provisions in the RP forum rules - and keep in mind that this sort of thing will likely not really generate a lot of interest here.

Alright, I'll keep that in mind, thanks.

It is something that falls under the rules, actually. See the section about "Fan-Made Pokémon, Crossbreeds, Pokémon with Unique Qualities, etc."

Essentially, fanmade legendaries are to be treated exactly like regular legendaries, only you'd have to explain the creature, its lore etc and not just the reason for the encounter when requesting permission.

Oop, pardon the lack of response, things have been busy. Anyway, I don't think there should be a problem with such so long as they are your own work.

It is my own work, i actually sat up one night without being able to sleep because i needed to write it down lol

That’s what we’re saying: because Gengar has a Mega Evolution already, you can’t let it Battle Bond.

Oh, that's sad. Well, I probably will just end up joining another PRP. But thanks for clarifying the rules for me. I wish you all the best!

You too. Good luck!

You've also posted a random Noibat with an apple in an post before that, and generally seemed to be spamming anime screencaps.

Both of these images were not your work and were not made for you. Note that our RP forum rules also specifically state the following:

"If a character, location or concept is inspired by or intentionally resembles something from another setting, do not post images of the source of inspiration directly - instead, state the source of the inspiration so others may look it up, or provide a link. This also applies for use of canon characters, items or settings in crossover RPs."

So you could have, for instance, linked a Bulbapedia article or something instead of a Huge Bloody Image that serves absolutely no purpose.

Absolutely!

Merged. ^^

... Uncertain. What _did_ you do? It doesn't look like you've got an additional warning.

re: Minecraft builds - if it's something you've built/designed yourself, then yes, it's acceptable.

Thanks for the help!

Ooh, that second question helps me, too...

That was actually me, sorry. The post they made was a literal one word post and our rules don't allow that.

I've undeleted their post specifically just to prevent misunderstandings with other people in the thread. ^^

I'm perfectly fine so far. At this point I'm pretty sure the entire world's health authorities issued mandatory self-isolation/social distancing guidelines and where I live is no different - but seeing as I already work from home and don't really go out all that often it hasn't really affected my life as much as it could have. XD

As concerned as I can see, all the streets and cities have become empty for a long time.

I was meaning if something like powers with the only explanation being genetic manipulation is aloud

What kind of powers? In what context? What are you even aiming at?

Also, the word you're looking for is allowed. Allowed =/= Aloud. Aloud means 'out loud'. Allowed means 'permitted'. Just for the record.

I have been in RPs where humans get turned into Pokemon and there are more where, in General RP, the characters get experimented on and whatnot.

It's up to the RP creator what additional limitations they want to add. If it's in Pokemon, your character can't be on par with or be a Legendary or a Mega Pokemon. In any RP, your powers can't godmode or auto anyone's characters.

That's what I usually see though.

Same rules apply as anything else on the corner - if it's an animation you've made from scratch by yourself, it is available. If you strapped some captions to an anime or something, that's not your own work and isn't allowed.

Ok, Thank you!

Just because it never misses in the games doesn't mean it can't be blocked with something like a well-placed protect, so yes, that is absolutely autoing.

Okay, thank you for specifying.

Neither of them are what you'd call absolute favourites, but I am rather fond of both of them - 'Magius is fun to write and Kartana is kind of adorable in an alien origami samurai sort of way - and is definitely closer to what I'd really want from a Grass/Steel 'mon than Ferrothorn is.

Oh, okay.

I mean if it's not actually a Gengar but something based on one, in a setting that isn't Pokemon... there shouldn't really be a problem. provided the transformation isn't a gateway for godmoding shenanigans, of course.

Alright, thanks.

Honestly not sure, but animated profile pictures are obnoxious anyway so if they aren't a technical option, all the better as far as I'm concerned... >>;

A friend of mine here had a gif that was a Cubchoo sprite. It only moves when you are viewing their profile page, otherwise it just appears as a picture with black dots all over.

RPs are a collaborative work by definition, and as any GM of any tabletop adventure will tell you, sometimes they will end up getting derailed, in which case the appropriate response is not to throw the toys out the pram and reboot (unless there's really no way to put it back on course).

Alright, thanks for getting back to me!

Considering Gigantamax, like Dynamax, doesn't affect stats in any way except the HP boost and the only difference is aesthetic and access to a particular move which - let's be honest here, in many cases isn't even that good? - Yeah, you could theoretically have multiple pokemon with that trait.

I'm okay with Sceptile but it is not even remotely my favourite, actually.

oh k :T

Gallade also works.

To be fair it's not that difficult a name to trip on and/or needlessly overcomplicate. XD Thank you!

sorry I'm new here

Depends on the RP, but you should be able to do either, as long as you have the RP creator’s permission.

Thanks.

Written works are not meant as containers for images and images should not be put in written works. Trainer cards are not allowed on the Creative Corner unless you made them 100% from scratch using your own assets - our trainer card maker is a generator and we do not allow works made with such on the Corner. ^^

Ok, thanks!

Accents and occasionally peppering a character's speech with bilingual moments is perfectly fine and acceptable - so long as the main language of the post is English. ^^

I understand what you mean. But listen, I'm sorry for all the mistakes I made. Everybody makes mistakes at some point. You should know that by now. Beside, I'll always be a beginner. I can take the blame if I want to, especially if you're not listening to me.

Nobody stays a beginner for long. You stay a beginner by choice.

^ This.

Yea, I was talking about some kid thinking it was okay to use three Pokemon to beat the Alolan League. One of the Pokemon used wasn't fully evolved. It was a Pikachu. The other two Pokemon were Primarina and Sylveon.

RIP. Clarifying the impossibility of that feat as a fact should suffice, given the person isn't too stubborn.

Yep, I was gonna report that... but then I realized it wasn't really against the rules. But seriously, a Pikachu. A PIKACHU.

I mean, I know official Pokemon Sprites are allowed, and I know Photography is allowed, but I just wanted to clarify if PoGo's AR is within the rules.

Done ^^

I'm looking to change my pfp to an anime pic that I found on pinterest, which I can't trace to an artist. Is that something I can use, or would it be against the rules? I'm in the habit of asking you before trying things as it's better to be safe than sorry.

We don't typically police profile pictures unless the original artist is/was a member of the site and doesn't allow the image to be used (or created the image specifically for someone else) - or if the original artist behind an image contacts us and asks us to remove a work they made used by someone as an avatar without their permission.

tl;dr you probably won't get in trouble for it, no.
