You are absolutely allowed to, yeah - just ask a staff member and we can make sure a person can no longer reply to a particular RP.

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

Thanks for the help!

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

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.

They're more than welcome to start the proper RP thread when they actually have in-character content to start it with, and link it to the discussion thread. As it stands, this is not an RP thread and not a valid start to one.

Alrighty, thanks for the information, just wanted to let you know.

Merged.

A RP is supposed to be a group collaboration and all the other instances where the notion of kicking someone has come up the matter is discussed with everyone in the group before anything gets decided. The reason he decided to kick me was simply because he didn't like my attitude.

It is indeed supposed to be a group collaboration and I'm all for group decisions on that sort of topic - but ultimately, if someone doesn't want you in a thread they started, it's their prerogative. If there's some drama going on, kindly settle it among yourselves and keep it civil.

Alright I understand, I'll try to settle this, thanks you for your time.

Yes, you're perfectly allowed to post non-drawing arts/crafts! ^^

Alright, thank you! =D

Yup. Still against the rules.

Okay. Thanks ^^

They're not quite animals but they are not humans either - there'd probably be a whole damn lot of nuance to it! And I'd also imagine that because the Pokemon World is so open for interpretation different headcanons by different people would have different ways of looking into this. ^^

I think the key with multiple-author fics (and RPs as that's more or less what they're supposed to be here) is to settle on a form of worldbuilding everyone involved can work with. This is one of the reasons we have discussion threads too - so people can iron out details like that together. ^^

Ah, kind of forgot about worldbuilding. I just kind of say something super logical and hope people agree. XD hehe whoops, but I shall iron this out with them (I would have liked to do this before talk of murder happened, but that doesn't seem to be the case). Thank you so much for your time ^^

It's a mix of their power level and their potential for abuse re: exodimensional travel and introduction of undue amounts of Ultra Beasts.

Also take into account that the anime tends to go hog-wild with legendary encounters because Ash Has Magical Anime Protagonist Powers (and the S/M anime just made the whole thing meaningless as a whole because practically everybody got one). This is not the case with the RP forums. ^^

I see. Thank you and sorry to bother you.

Long story short: let people actually interpret characters/scenes for themselves rather than spoon-feed them background details you siphoned off of entirely unrelated video games/anime/whatever forms of media, please. But if something is absolutely critical, use the discussion threads and at the very least explain why you picked a particular song for the scene/character or why and what it inspired.

Do something that invites discussion. Not "This is my theme song, insert random Megaman track here". And keep it out of the actual RPs. Thank you.

Alright, that sounds perfectly reasonable. Thanks for responding~!

To the best of my awareness, Teapot is fine - just busy with obligations outside the site. ^^

Perfect. Thank you so much! ^.^

I could really learn from her example and start studying for finals.

Done. ^^

No worries - this kind of thing happens and so long as you contact a staff member and have the accounts merged - as you have! - there's no problem whatsoever. ^^

Accounts merged, welcome back!

Thank you very much!

'Charms chugs on, for the most part. There haven't been a lot of major feature updates for a while, but that's neither here nor there. For now anyway!
