Mega Evolutions need to be individually approved - it's not a per-RP situation, it's a per-character situation. Actually read our rules for details, please.

You should be doing that anyway as your attempt at an RP contained no in-character content and contained barely one line, and was thus removed.

Also, it's spelled Johto, but that's neither here nor there.

Oh got it sorry for the waste of time

We had a few encounters approved over time - but in most cases, those RPs never actually went anywhere or even got to the point where the approved legendaries actually showed up before fizzling off because the kidlets wandered off to the next shiny thing.

(Which is a shame, there were a few pretty cool story concepts)

Understood, thanks Stel o7

Gotcha, just making sure. Thank you

So yeah, basically, if they encountered mega evolution in the past, that's not to be unexpected. If they have access to it currently or had access to it in the past, THAT would require approval.

Thank you :3 I'm hoping it's the former. XD

Yes, I haven't had the chance to look over your message yet - this may come as a surprise but I am a very busy biomechanical abomination and have a lot more on my plate than just 'charms. I'll respond when I have the time to give your message the attention it deserves. ^^

You too!

So long as the items aren't used to actively summon the legendary and have a very good reason for being involved in the plot, I don't think there should be much of an issue. Just remember that they are meant to be incredibly rare, with all that entails.

Alrighty, thanks for the clarification.

Trades & Battles I'd say. P. sure the Organized Play board is basically dead now.

Hmmmmm, if I had a time ladder I'd give you one. Sometimes it's scary to think about the future, like what if you never get to do all the things you want to do? It just makes you realise how ever second of the day matters, it's mad.

(Sorry for the long rant, I just got carried away) XD

Eh, the future isn't what it used to be. xD

Still waiting for those flying cars, maybe it's the saviour of 2020 lol

I thought it would be terrifying speaking to a moderator, turns out it's not that bad XD

By a staggering coincidence I just contacted you about the same via a conversation message - I'm certainly interested to hear what you have to say about this.

I merged it into the relevant discussion thread seeing as this literally had no reason to exist as a separate entity. Should it have been merged into the main RP thread instead?

My... I totally forgotten!

I really need to watch the threads I'm making!

No worries, I'm sure you'll get the hang of how things are done here sooner rather than later. ^^

Deleted. ^^ And thank you for actually realizing this was a rule break! Please make sure to also read our global rules (as those apply everywhere, not just the RP forums) - your other thread had some colour tag abuse in it, which is also not allowed. ^^

So you reverted the color abuse on the other thread?

EDIT: OK, I saw it.

I also merged your old account into this one, because I figured you might have lost access to it. In the future please try to use the password reset feature as creating multiple accounts is against our rules.

I really like the website. But I'm not sure if its for me. Some rules are quite strict and not all I agree on. Mega stones I agree can be overpowered but asking some head admins for permission to use one is a little overpowering. But of course I'll always be open to opinions and this is just mine.

Sorry, and yes, my old account was lost or somebody has taken it, thank you.

Ah, I think I get it. It all depends on the pokemon, how well trained aforementioned pokemon is, that pokemon species' average power in general, etc. Right?

Essentially. ^^

Alrighty, thanks!

So that's between good and worse?

... What does that even mean.

When you said if someone gets a legendary capture approved, then it's good. And when you say that the privilege is revoked, then that's worse. Right?

I just made the post in the creative discussions section, so I just wanna make sure the way i posted the animation is okay, i guess.

Yeah, that's perfectly fine. ^^

Also- what do you think of the animation itself (if you watched it)?

Yeah, it's perfectly possible - like I said, I merged your old account into your current one already, so no harm done - and that's a valid enough reason.

In the future, however, if you forget your password and don't have access to the email address the account was registered under (so requesting a password reset is not an option) - contact a staff member as soon as possible and let us know there was a problem, so we can merge things and not retroactively discover a "rule break" like that. ^^

Alright, thanks

Written works have no restrictions re: legendaries! However, if you intend to have characters from a written work cross over into an RP (exactly as they are, as opposed to an AU version of the character) and they encountered a legendary in the work, that's when things get a bit more complicated and require approval - but that would apply just to the RP, not the work itself. ^^

All posts in the RP forums must contain in-character content. OOC notes are permitted as long as they are not the majority of the post, with the majority of the post being IC. For anything else, use discussion threads in the RP discussion boards or PMs. ^^

K thanks

There you go. I just changed your password into something temporary and sent you a private message about it. ^^

Can you pls cambined my old account with my new one

Guess the reset didn't work as intended, then? Alrighty. Accounts merged. Hopefully that should settle everything. ^^

Btw, I followed u

The rules explain everything as for why they're restricted.

While sometimes things change on a case-to-case basis... generally, once you're ejected, you stay ejected.

I figured. Thank you for answering my question!

'Fraid so, unless you made the models yourself, absolutely 100% from scratch. Otherwise you're just using assets made by other people and that can't really be called your own art, really. ^^;

Fair enough. Thank you!

I'll probably stick to written works. ^^

I recommend reading our rules again - we have provisions concerning fan-made Pokemon there that should state what is and isn't allowed. ^^

Thanks for the help

Dealt with. Considering the nature of the bullshit, they were moderated for their troubles. >>

Ah, that’s good news to hear lol. Thanks for the help ^^

I've done that before and it looked like it tagged. And I think, not certain, but I think, I was on the receiving end of one of those pings.
So I think it works?

Yeah I can. There a way to pair a written work with some art (when I learn how to draw) so it doesn't just come up as text on Popular Works?

There isn't - Written works are not designed/meant to include media that isn't text.

I'm not sure I follow. Are you talking about like...a... spinoff RP? Or just discussion of things that occurred during something.
If it's just discussion that just belongs on the main discussion thread. If it's actual RP, nothing stops you from making a spinoff thread, no. ^^

I was referring to a spin-off thread. Thanks!

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.
