    I have a question: When is minimodding... Well, minimodding, and when is it not? I really have a hard time with this. Is it okay to tell someone, who is on your thread, if they mess up on a specific rule you have for the thread? Is that okay, since you made up the rule in the first place?

    Actual rule violations should be reported so someone with actual authority can come in and handle the situation, though. ^^

    Okay, thank you. XD It's so confusing, plus I'm the kind of person who wants to give a second chance, so this conflicts with my want for being generous with my second chances. Buuuut they should just realize that a place like this would have rules. XD I just won't be such a nice person next time XD

    Hey stellar can you check this role-play called Pokemon Regions this guy named maddex0520 was going OVER 9000 even though his cyndaquil was probably a beginner, he used eruption.
    Hey StellarWind, so I have a question about the Pokemon Role Play rules.
    Can Legendary Pokemon be in multiple categories? (i.e. can the Tapus be encountered and bonded with?)
    StellarWind Elsydeon
    StellarWind Elsydeon
    It's a tiered system. A legendary that may be captured may also be used in a bonding situation or just an encounter. A legendary that may be bonded with may also be just encountered, but not captured. A legendary that may only be encountered may not have the other things done with it.
    StellarWind Elsydeon
    StellarWind Elsydeon
    The Tapus may only be encountered, because the only people they BOND with are Kahunas, and none of all y'all are ever going to be Kahunas. XP

    Okay, thanks.
    So I have a quick question. So my friend made a pixel art of a Sylveon and she looked up how to make it so dose that count as stealing other creators work (she let me use her pixel art, but she looked up how to make it) I wanted to know because in my newest recolors I was going to use it.
    I have a question.... What makes a character "edgy"? I've always heard that term, and never understood it. What line has to be crossed for the "no return" aspect to kick in when the character is "too edgy"?
    *a baby Rayquaza could be seen curling around his favorite ball while refusing to get a checkup after the Nurse tries to tell him for the fifth time* Umm... just to clear this up real quick, is there anything limiting legendaries in works of writing of stories and such if I would want to use one for that purpose? Or is it regulated like it is in the role plays?
    StellarWind Elsydeon
    StellarWind Elsydeon
    The RP forum rules reply to the RP forums, not to fanfics. The only restriction on fanfics is that you wrote the damn thing. Otherwise, go wild. ^^

    *the baby Rayquaza slithers towards you and curls behind your leg in hopes of deterring the Nurse* Well alright, thanks. I just thought that it would apply everywhere since I saw that it seemed to be regulated everywhere I went.
    I don't know how to start an RP so I came to you hoping you knew how
    StellarWind Elsydeon
    StellarWind Elsydeon
    Once you do that it is up to you to write a first post - this post needs to introduce the setting, your character, and importantly - leave an opening for someone else to join and eventually interact with your character and setting. This must be in character and compliant with our rules - that is, third person, past tense, story format and at least a paragraph long - PREFERABLY longer.
    StellarWind Elsydeon
    StellarWind Elsydeon
    And that's basically it. It's a good idea to open a discussion thread in the discussion board for the RP thread where you and the other people in the thread can discuss the plot and ongoing events in the RP in an out-of-character format (this is where all the OOC blather goes, although it must be relevant to the thread. A discussion thread is not a chat room!)
    StellarWind Elsydeon
    StellarWind Elsydeon
    But that's the gist of it really. It's not rocket engineering. ^^
    So I’m hoping to get some advice. I’m leading an RP through Kalos, and I’m having trouble figuring out some kind of major plot point that isn’t an evil team or legendary Pokemon based, (As I find them overused). But I still want it to be a traverse through the region RP. Any suggestions? I’ve been racking my brain for a good while not this.
    How'd you get so good at drawing?
    How's the situation with the Outcast thread going stellar? is it ever going to be unlocked?
    So apparently I’ve gotten a warning for posting other people’s work. But I’ve already given you the permission I’ve received from the original creator. So I would like some clarification please.
    *a little Politoed can be seen crying on a lily pad while using some leaves as tissues apparently* I know I've been asking too many questions to you lately maybe... but I would really want to ask if there's anything about fan made mega evolutions. (If it's still the same rules or if it's different in any way since I do have two other variants to spice things up.)
    StellarWind Elsydeon
    StellarWind Elsydeon
    Also, in case of asking permission for a fan made mega evolution, a detailed description of the fan made mega evolution - appearance, strengths, weaknesses, the works - needs to be provided when the request is made. We need to keep things balanced and prevent potential godmoding, after all.
    Le Marsouin
    Le Marsouin
    Well alright... I suppose I might need to present a lot of pristine information since I was wondering if I could have my own mega evolution for Politoed for a future RP perhaps. *Politoed croaks and sings a little song while resisting the urge to throw a sharp leaf at his other species since he's a bit small for his kind*
    StellarWind Elsydeon
    StellarWind Elsydeon
    When this sort of future RP becomes relevant, submit a proper request with all the data required by the rules via a private conversation and we'll talk.
    Hey, I have a question. I was just casually cruising through the RP channels, and I noticed that it seems you've given out a lot more warnings on the Pokemon RP channels than the General RP channels. Is there a reason or some sort of statistic on why that is, do you think?

    *Toadman can be seen singing or at least trying his best to* So, I've been wondering... is there perhaps a way to make it so that the thread would be closed to the troublemakers and the likes of them? (I'm wondering if there is or some similar mechanic like the ban hammer since I don't want those people intruding in my future RPs.)
    StellarWind Elsydeon
    StellarWind Elsydeon
    We generally only close threads if the thread as a whole is full of rule breaking, if someone who was vastly prominent and still involved in interactions with everyone else at the moment gets banned (if they can just be ignored and left behind, that might not be necessary) or if some major rule breaking incident occurs that can't be feasibly written out because everyone already interacted with it.
    StellarWind Elsydeon

    *Toadman nods before hopping onto a desk and reading over Aquaman's previous takedown strikes and notices* Well, thanks then. I suppose I'd better keep an eagle eye out and hope that some kid doesn't try to do some crazy things like controlling me like mere property and stealing my precious works...
    Not that I have any problem with you, but I’m genuinely curious about the Sylvie ban situation

    Honestly I can't blame the young girl for wanting to come back to this amazing RP community. But where there's my wishing moderators would have eased up on the kid, I also wish she'd stop trying to return the underhanded way.

    The fact she continues demonstrating that she has no respect for our rules and our staff and keeps digging herself deeper into a hole effectively destroys any case that she might have had to redeem herself.

    Yeah... Honestly, I'll never understand why kids can be be like that. I guess some people just like making others feel bad. And parents don't give a flying fuck, or don't believe you. Hell, I just don't like making people feel bad, especially just to get a bunch of people to laugh along with you
    hi i saw your post and i understand i posted that a while back but ill keep it in mind i wouldn’t use mega evolutions in battle as in rp carelessly to be fair it has to be the right moment
    Don't you absolutely love it when people start RPs, tell people to follow Pokecharms rules, and spectacularly fail to do so themselves?
    Sometimes I wonder what yawning chasm of stupidity spits up some of our users.
    Um, you know that conversation you sent me, about my Pokemon Trainer 2.0? I didn't copy and paste it, surely its okay for me to have re drew it on my picture? I didn't copy and paste it on, but if that is the rules then I am really sorry =(
    I just realized...


    In this one rp (which is currently dead rip) this dude straight up 1) joined without asking 2) defied FRIKING GRAVITY (being able to carry thousands of guns and ammo like nothing) and 3) act like a god. But i could deal with that... (internal screaming)

    (Part 2 is next i hate the no more that 420 characters rule.
    <Inkscape>
    <Inkscape>
    But what i CANT deal with is when someone just... n0øbž all day without reading the rules, making it to where they can hit you and they mary sue away. But i especially hate it when its a good rp but someone ruins where you have to slit their wrists of their body and locking the rp FOREVER.

    Also, is fire the weakest element? Since air beats it water beats it, and earth beats it. But personally, my favorite element is Hydrostatic Plazmatic Airoplourid acid. AKA Liquid Lightning. Created by mixing alot of NonBiopheric Abominations in a bowl with my rubber ducky :3 Hoo boy time to go explode my lab! *3 minutes later most of the neighborhood explodes* Sorry! I just tried freezedrying ice and then frying it.
    I saw @CosmicDreams' post on your profile, and damn, I now realise how much you have to do to make sure no rules are broken. I simply respect you and see you as way too high for me on the somewhat 'Popular' scale to accept me as anything more than another Charmer. Just tellin' ya, mate :3
    StellarWind Elsydeon
    StellarWind Elsydeon
    Thank you. ^^ 'Charms means a hell of a lot to me and keeping it from deteriorating into an absolute mess can be immensely frustrating at times, for sure (and the n00blets aren't making it easier for sure) - but it's certainly worth it.
    Hmm... so if I were to use Aquaman in my RP that I am making for the events that took place in my story line I have yet to reveal, would I need to use the Pokémon stats for him or use his game's stats? The other thing I want to ask is if I could use my own mechanic of the battle deck that I've been working for him. (It's like a bit of Pokémon's abilities and Megaman BN's Navi tree put together kinda.)
    StellarWind Elsydeon
    StellarWind Elsydeon
    Here's the thing with RPs - they are not games. They're a collaborative story you write with other people. and thus game mechanics are not quite as significant in them - "Stats" are only general guidelines for the strengths and weaknesses of a character.
    StellarWind Elsydeon
    StellarWind Elsydeon
    As a thread creator, if you're introducing new 'mechanics', it falls to you to explain them to other RPers so they may be able to understand and use them as well. ^^
    Le Marsouin

    Alright, I suppose I better get my thinking and chip on since explaining things isn't exactly on the greatest areas like writing and battling are... *gulp* (Thanks by the way...)
    Ummm... question... do you know where to create a website like this?
    StellarWind Elsydeon
    StellarWind Elsydeon
    Also keep in mind that even if you did have the resources and the time, you would still need to handle various technical issues, keep the site protected from all sorts of SPAM and garbage - and be subject to all sorts of responsibilities regarding content uploaded to your site by third parties.
    StellarWind Elsydeon
    StellarWind Elsydeon
    So, no, you probably can't make a website /quite/ like 'Charms YET. But if you're looking to make your own internet community of some sort, there are probably options for you out there. Google might be a better source of information on those than I could be, though.

    Oh... ok... I'll keep looking!
    I feel bad for you. So many people don't read the rules and do dumb stuff and the threads they are in get erased of the possibility for the RP to be decent. And then these threads have to be locked so no more rule-breaking can be made. The most sad part is that you have to do this a lot.

    I am quite curious. How would armblades work on a being which is already split on a molecular level? Say, myself?
    StellarWind Elsydeon
    StellarWind Elsydeon
    Probably through application of some form of an energetic charge to the blades themselves or some kind of stabilization field effect. Can't rely on physical attacks for everything now, can we? XD
    Alright... lil' Navi needs to get this over with. Since being a Navi is different from a Pokémon in terms of power, moves, etc, would I need approval for the use of powerful mechanics such as Program Advance? (Program Advance is used when a Navi combines multiple moves into one powerful move, as this can be from a simple boost to having powerful tag-team attacks dishing four digit damage.)
    StellarWind Elsydeon
    StellarWind Elsydeon
    I've played a bit of the battle network games, though they never managed to hold my interest too much. ^^; But yes - context. Is this a pure Battle Network RP or some kind of a weird Pokemon crossover? If it's just a regular Battle Network RP, then there are no restrictions to this effect so long as no actual godmoding and/or autoing are taking place.
    StellarWind Elsydeon
    StellarWind Elsydeon
    There probably wouldn't be restrictions like this on a Pokemon crossover context as random 'super moves' have always been a thing and calculating damage output in /numbers/ is kind of silly considering in a realistic setting game mechanics wouldn't quite apply (although a virtual world may scramble that a bit. hm.)
    Le Marsouin
    Le Marsouin
    It's a Pokémon crossover RP, and well posts do take time so please don't worry if it becomes inactive sometimes. (Which could happen if we got emergencies in life.) The main reason why I wanted to ask you if I needed approval on something like Program Advance is that some of the advanced moves Aquaman can use are more than capable of pretty much wiping out everyone on the field...
    How would a pokemon learning a Tm move or Hm move be preformed. Also in FR/LG a woman teaches your Starter pokemon a powerful attack, so if i was doing a RP based on FR/LG how would i do that?
    StellarWind Elsydeon
    StellarWind Elsydeon
    TMs and HMs don't exactly exist within more realistic settings, probably - but Pokemon can learn by observation, imitation and practice. Move tutors are still a thing and would probably work like instructors or martial arts senseis in that sense - providing guidance and points of focus for a Pokemon as it learns to tap into its hidden powers.
    If I have an idea for a new form of item transformation (Something similar to Mega Evolution,) would I need to get it approved through you (the idea itself) If I want to implement it in an RP? I want to make sure the idea itself isn't OP and would be allowed within the RP forums. The rules mention a lot about Fakemon Battle Bond, Mega, and Fakemon in general, but nothing really on entire concepts.
    Ry_Burst
    Ry_Burst
    So with the specific items fo certain Pokemon, only certain Pokemon could pull this off and being able to do so is quite rare. Along with the transformation, they gain a move that varies from Pokemon to Pokemon, depending in their movesets, as it is a combo of some of their individual moves. As for stats, they are raised to 605, and Pokemon who are capable of Mega Evolution are unable to undergo it.
    StellarWind Elsydeon
    StellarWind Elsydeon
    Hm. I guess it's not so much of an evolution as an odd modifier (albeit kind of a silly one tbh). I guess that would probably be acceptable - but yeah, remember that you can only use this in RPs that you have created or - in case you drag it elsewhere - if the thread creator is okay with it.
    Ry_Burst
    Ry_Burst
    Thanks.
    Ayo! Not sure if you remember me exactly, lmao. But I just wanted to drop by and say thanks for all you're doing! I know it seems random, but after all this time, it's nice (and quite comforting) seeing someone still working so hard to make sure the site is still neat and in order :) You, and all of the other staff, are much appreciated, even if you dont hear it all the time.
    This question has been on my mind for a while, and I feel like I should ask, considering this isn't directly mentioned in the rules. Can a Charmer have more than one OC, who has a Mega Pokemon, granted permission of course. (I'm not asking so I can get one. I'm just more curious if anything. :p)
    Um hello I would like to know if you could authorize my Venusaur's mega evolution if necessary I shall provide a backstory for why my Venusaur and I have a bond also can a trainer own a mega evolution and a battle bond Pokemon like they can in games for an RP
    StellarWind Elsydeon
    StellarWind Elsydeon
    For your second question - No. It's either-or, and you may only have one pokemon with a battle-evolution of any sort (and naturally, a pokemon that has a mega evolution may NOT use battle bond mechanics to get around the restriction on mega evos).
    StellarWind Elsydeon
    StellarWind Elsydeon
    For your first question - read the rules. Then contact me via private conversation with all the details I need to consider your request (they appear in the rules). Then we'll see.
