NPCs would probably be better, so you can do it in one post instead of waiting on two people. Also, I think it'd be best to make a OC for the champion, since Gary would need to fill Giovanni's spot.

That's what I was thinking.
Technically It could be an OC gym leader. Though again Gary as a gym leader is still a cool option so I'm not really going to argue against it.

Basically, if a Gym Leader was a NPC, you would attack as your OC, then have the Gym Leader attack. This keeps on going until one person loses. For example:
"Go, Bulbasaur!" The trainer said. "Use Razor Leaf!" "Alright Geodude, use Rock Throw!" Brock instructed. Bulbasaur summoned sharp leaves and threw it at the Geodude, who countered with a large pebble.
It would go something like this. Speech is tedious, so I usually just say "Bulbasaur used Razor Leaf, which was countered by Geodude's Rock Throw." instead of ""Okay Bulbasaur, use Razor Leaf!" the trainer said. "Alright Geodude, use Rock Throw!" Brock instructed."

Alright that looks good to me. So would the battles have to started and concluded all in one post?

Pretty much.
Which style would you guys prefer? npc or player control?
Gold The Dragonite

NPC, just makes everything quicker so that you don't have not to deal with inactivity.
Funny enough since the eighth Gym is in Viridian City Hisato has the option of interacting with him very early... It wouldn't be anything of plot importance ,but a simple friendly talk as since Hisato has no pokémon prior to visiting Professor Oak it will likely just be a short conversation.
Well guys in the cannon of the anime Gary had actually became a researcher, so the gym would need to reflect that. It would meen a change in how it looks, and also how it is laid out if Gary is the 8th gym leader.
I like the researcher thing however if we go with that we'd still need an 8th gym leader.
Edit: if he is gym leader still his gym could be a research station? With technology decorating the gym ,and researchers helping him maintain the gym...

It could be similar to Blaine's gym, but more open and more.... lab-y?
I don't remember what Blaine's gym was like as it was never shown in the anime ,and i haven't played red/blue fire red/leaf green in a long long time...

In the anime I remember it was based inside a volcano so we can go with that if you guys want.
Anyways are all of your guy’s characters going to be collecting badges and competing in the league?
Tyler will not be collecting badges. He will be competing in pokemon contests here and there in the region. I might have him challenge one or two, as a story based thing, but that will depend.
In the anime they did battle over a volcano... I could be wrong, but I think Blaine mentioned either his Gym or something else was destroyed?
I thought about that and I honestly don't know... Hisato is more concerned with being a ranger than the next champion. He may try just for the heck of it ,but even if he does he won't take it as seriously as Taichi... Taichi is a really cool name by the way. A really cool chinese martial arts style too.
I'm assuming Safron City being the biggest City in all Kanto. Which means it is likely going to be the Hearthhorne City of Kanto?
Any other towns you would reccomend for contest?
Cerulion City would be one, as they do have performances done by the gym leaders there. It would be a water baised show, this would be the theme of said contest. I am thinking that mainy of the major cities would be home to the contests. A few of the smaller town might have one or two contests, but they would be smaller in comparison.

Yeah they did fight over a volcano in the anime, but I think I remember it starting inside, I could be wrong though, I can’t remember if that Charizard vs Magmar fight was a rematch or not.
Ah rangers are cool, it’s really nice to have a cast with different goals to one another. And thanks, Hisato is a pretty cool name too. Taichi just comes from Tai from digimon lol.
@Gold The Dragonite will Kris be taking part in gym battles/the league?
I like how Tai and Matt had a similar rivalry to Ashy-boy and Gary...
Side note... you know what's weird?! The fact that in none of the games Blaine uses his iconic magmar... great opportunity for him to have a Magmortar by the way!

I know that you only wanted a limited amount of characters that's why I figured to go ahead and ask before I make my characters. Can I please make two characters- they would be twins and near complete opposites.
Gold The Dragonite
Previously Dratingonair
Yeah, Kris will.
Jay most likely isn't on right now thus cannot accept nor deny at the moment. He most likely be on later today to give you a response. good luck!

@Ysko @Barefoot_Kittens sorry for only being able to get back to you now, but I don’t think I’ll be letting anymore people into the rp as I do want to try keep it to a smaller cast, really sorry.
But if you guys remember about this rp we could use some more characters when it gets near the league.

I think I might have Hisato perform in a contest or two... Since Hisato is all about that go green life it would make since he'd have a nature inspired a nature inspired attire to wear as he performs in contests...
I do have a question though, are our pokémon going to be limited to four moves or are they allowed to use more their full movepool? obviously a level 5 bulbasaur ain't gonna firing a leaf storm any time soon ,but was curious on the subject.

Pokemon won’t be limited to four moves as this will more be following anime rules rather than the games, but that doesn’t mean Pokemon can know like 10 or 20 moves.
That's fair enough. What would you have the limit be? and can they forget moves along the way? Will leveling up play a role?
thanks in advanced.
thanks in advanced.

I’d say maybe around 6 for a limit? I’m not sure how forgetting moves works outside of the games, because having to forget a move to learn a new one doesn’t seem like it would make sense outside of the games, so I’m really unsure about that. I’m not sure if levels would really be a thing either.
Levels are not really a thing. Also the rules of the site have this in there. I am not sure where it is stated though. Pokemon do not really forget moves. They really only become rusty if not used often. They are allowed to have more then four moves. The limit is only really used in the games. Think of it how Ash's pikachu, is able to use all of the moves that he knows at any given time. Also think of it this way, a bird would know the move fly without it having to be taught. This is how it is normally for other RPs. It also puts a damper on things like contests as the moves would limit what the contestants can use to perform.
The reason why I brought up "levels" was purely as an indication of knowing whether or not the pokémon was strong enough to use stronger techniques. I brought up "forget" as a way of switching for stronger moves, Example; Maybe your pokémon knows absorb ,but you eventually reach a point where you would rather it know mega drain or giga drain. thoughts?
Jayblade
Previously AceTrainerGold
I understand it in those cases as Mega drain and giga drain are just better versions of absorb, so that would make sense for a Pokemon to forget.
Should we come up with preset moves we want our pokémon to know/learn? I like the idea of our pokémon being rusty on moves they don't use often like kitty said ,but ultimately it's your call.
Jayblade
Previously AceTrainerGold
Sure you can come up with preset moves if you want. I do also like Kitty’s idea, it’s much better than our Pokemon just outright forgetting certain moves.
I just have two final questions...
TMs... are they a thing?
Can Hisato's main pokémon walk around with him?

I’d say no to both TMs and HMs, I don’t really know how they’d work. I’d say just let pokemon learn moves naturally that they’d usually need a TM for if that’s ok.
And yeah I don’t see why not lol.
I'm not that bright 
, just to clarify... TM techniques are okay right but no TMs needed. It's weird how the only poison move bulbasaur learns is poison powder through natural leveling despite being poison type... side note I never knew venasaur male and female slightly looked different...

What sorta things do you have in mind?

Previously AceTrainerGold
Maybe just a few more things with the story and stuff, like stuff with team rocket and what not. But that won’t take long.
You know who would make a cool villain? The iron masked marauder from pokémon 4ever. This is just a thought of course.
