The Story
For years humans have been fighting each other in an endless war that has only produced bloodshed and fear. It became worse in recent years as people realized they could tame the mythical beasts that inhabited their world, Pokemon. Today few kingdoms remain that are able to call themselves stable, among those only one has been able to find neutrality in this chaotic world, the land of Churan. Here people are able to live peacefully, away from the war torn world as the desert to the northeast protects them from land invasions, the seas around them are difficult to navigate making sea invasions useless, and any attempt to fly there has been met with difficult winds.
Left to do what they want with little interference from the outside world, Churan had begun to think of Pokemon as more than tools and weapons. They began to see them as friends and longtime companions and were able to feel and express emotions. With these revelations came outcry from those that believed the battling of Pokemon should become a crime, the kingdom established a more organized form of battling. The people of Churan were content with this system and have lived peacefully ever since.
Time went on and the kingdom faced new problems. In the harbor city of Noctfond people became restless from years of oppression from local monopolies that cared little for the lives of their workers and the people in the city. This anger hit its climax when a riot broke out. The kingdom feared a revolution would follow if nothing was done they tired to help but the capital city, Lumspire, was suddenly attacked stopping any and all attempts to fix the situation in Noctfond. A Charizard had lashed out and destroyed part of the marketplace in Lumspire, when it calmed down it was found to have strange runes on it along with the words "Memory Guild." The peace that this kingdom was once praised for is beginning to deteriorate.
You, however, don't have to worry about these problems for you are young and your journey has only just begun.
The RP
Hey there! This is fantasy world that I made a few weeks ago but never got around to making a thread for, after some thinking I realized I could squeeze in Pokemon into the world and so I did. As you may have read above you'll be in the land of Churan, a peaceful kingdom that has recently been hit with a lot of problems.
You'll be making characters that have just been allowed to tame their first Pokemon on a journey through Churan. As the story section stated, the kingdom has established a organized system for "trainers" to battle Pokemon. This is basically the 8 gym system, except I swapped out the elite four and champion for a battle in which 4 teams battle each other in an arena.
Besides this everything else should be pretty familiar, traveling with your Pokemon, collecting badges, defeating other "trainers," and destroying a large organization despite being relatively young. Of course this all also comes with the typical fantasy stuff, like magic, enchanted weaponry, magic from worship, so on and so forth. There are a few exceptions, one of the major ones is you're only allowed to have three Pokemon with you at a time. That may seem like a bit too much but I had to make this rule because 1) This world's technology is radically different from what is available in the games so pokeballs would most likely not exist and 2) I liked the idea of Pokemon traveling alongside you in a world that has a a lot more wilderness to it than the games but I also found that traveling with six Pokemon at a time looked sort of off to me. Another one is the exclusion of some man made Pokemon, when I say this I'm referring to Pokemon like the Porygon line, the Rotom forms, and Muk line which have a lot to do with modern society.
Finally comes classes, if you look at the character sheet you’ll notice that there’s a space for a class, here you can put a class that you feel best fits your character. You aren’t choosing your character’s job, think of it as another piece to describe your character. If you need a class list, feel free to pick a class from D&D. If there’s another game with a class you think will fit your character better than the ones in D&D go ahead and use it just leave a link to a description of the class.
The World
I’ve talked about the story of the RP, some other important things about the RP itself, so now it’s time to provide a map of Churan.
(Only some of the towns/cities are labeled because they are the most important ones, also there will be more small villages and towns that you may be visiting that aren’t on the map)
I may also provide a brief description of the labeled towns and cities if people want them, right now I’m planning to give a “description” when the town/city comes up in the RP.
Additional Information
So after starting this thread I answered a few questions, this "Addition Information" sections contains those questions and their answers. I've put them in a spoiler because I didn't want to make this thread too long and because this information isn't necessary to read through, though it may answer some questions you have.
Rules
1. Follow normal Pokecharms rules.
2. The nature of the setting makes this RP a bit more violent than some others due to the weaponry and magic, this can be expressed in your posts as long as you don't go overboard.
3. Magic is not the answer to everything, don't overuse it and don't stretch its limitations.
4. Romance is allowed just keep it PG-13 and make sure everyone involved is okay with it.
5. I love drama and conflict between characters IC so it is allowed, just don’t let it become a problem OOC.
6. Please remember to ASK QUESTIONS, this is a really expensive lore/world I’ve built so I’m bound to forget to mention some things so don’t be hesitant to ask away (not much of a rule but still very important).
7. Fakemon are allowed just follow the Pokecharms rules for them
8. To ensure you’ve read everything, or at least skimmed through it, put “The Memory Guild” somewhere in your character sheet.

Additional Information
So after starting this thread I answered a few questions, this "Addition Information" sections contains those questions and their answers. I've put them in a spoiler because I didn't want to make this thread too long and because this information isn't necessary to read through, though it may answer some questions you have.
Q: You said that you don’t like the idea of us having six Pokémon so how many will be allowed to have along the way?
A: You may have 3 Pokemon with you at any one time, but you can tame as many Pokemon as you'd like. Any Pokemon you'd like to take off the team to keep your team count at 3 will be stored at a local daycare (pretty much this world's version of the PC). Of course, if you've just tamed a Pokemon and you've gone over your limit I'll give you some time so you can make it to a daycare and decide which team member will be stored.
Q: Whilst you can have up to three Pokemon with you at once, can you still befriend other wild Pokemon yet they remain how they choose. (And is there a rule as to what Pokemon you can have, such as starting with a final evolution Pseudo Legendary, like Dragonite?)
Also what are the kind of Organizations are we expecting alongside their behaviors and motives?
A: Yes, you can befriend wild Pokemon and allow them to remain as they please. Starter Pokemon have to begin at the first stage of their evolution, so a Dratini would be fine but a Dragonite not so much. A similar rule will affect the Pokémon you can tame at the beginning of the RP, in the wild you have to encounter Pokémon that are similar in power to the Pokémon you already have. So basically try and keep things fair. However, in reference to your first question, if you find and befriend a Dragonite early in the RP but don’t tame it until later when taming such a strong Pokémon is more reasonable then I could allow a strong Pokémon being with you every once in a while, this is true on two conditions 1) This wild Pokémon you’ve befriended only stays with you temporarily before leaving into the wild again and 2) The Pokémon isn’t used to keep yourself from losing or as some kind of last minute answer to any problem.
As for organizations, the major one for this RP is the Memory Guild a mysterious cult-like organization with an unknown goal that seems to currently only be interested making its name known. I’d prefer to keep most things about them secret, at least until the they come up in the RP. Besides that there’s the Thieves Guild that acts as the generic criminal organization. There’s also a few other ideas for other organizations such as one that’s planning a revolution and one that’s trying to get Churan to enter the chaotic world it has been shielded from for years, but these are still WIP as they’re problems that will enter the RP at a later time.
Q: Since there are no Pokeballs, how will we evolve some Pokémon that require trading? Like rhydon for example.
A: Right now I’m planning for there to be a witch or druid in the swamplands that has gained a special connection to Pokémon. This has allowed them to find hidden evolutions, in some Pokémon, that for some unexplainable reason they seem to be unable to unleash through normal means. They will offer to use an incantation to unlock these evolutions, Pokémon such as Rhydon that require an item will still require the item, though some items, like the Electirizer, will be changed to better fit this setting.
Q: Should I only have 1 Pokemon or can I have more than one? (Obviously gonna make my starting limit no more than 3)
A: You can start with a team of up to 3 Pokemon, just be mindful of how powerful your Pokemon are.
Q: One of the biggest questions that I just realized is how we are going to capture Pokémon if there are no pokeballs, or is there something else we will do?
A: The Pokemon of this world are only very recently being seen as creatures with actual emotions and Pokemon are still adjusting to this new way of thinking. So most Pokemon are still wild animals that will attack humans. This means that humans need to tame their Pokemon and show them that they are friends not foes. Going back to your question, you will be befriending Pokemon and will have to trust that your Pokemon don't decide to just leave you one day. The connection between humans and Pokemon, the opportunity to become stronger, and the new quality of life that is seen with most humans keep Pokemon from leaving. So make sure to show your Pokemon that they are more to you than tools of battle, show them that they are friends that you trust and respect.
