I would still think the goverment would help Nurse Joy keep the lights on... Like she gotta pay the bills and everything on her ooown? I guess that's why she's charging so much...

Welcome back to Pokécharms! We've recently launched a new site and upgraded forums, so there may be a few teething issues as everything settles in. Please see our Relaunch FAQs for more information.
Private/Closed PokéSync: Discussion Thread

What is this the US? What happened to free healthcare?Someone's gotta pay Nurse Joy, might as well be you trainers
FAQ has been updated with an example to clarify how egg moves may be acquired from wild pokemon.
Since it seems that no one has any intent of posting for at least the next couple of days, we may as well take the time to talk about what things could happen later on in the RP.
I should note that the bronze league is basically a long-term entrance exam to see whether a person is fit enough to be a trainer of if they're too incompetent and/or would just end up dead. That being said, not an awful lot is happening at Bronze rank. Once we hit Silver, however, it's a whole different story.
Raids, Evil Teams, man-eating pokemon hordes, mysteries to be unraveled, I have plenty in store for my cute little role players...
At the same time though, I encourage you to come up with ideas and plot lines of your own, this is a very sand-box styled RP and outside of making things too easy, I won't deny you much. So get those brains working and squeeze out those creative juices~
So there's two encoded messages to start you off!
The world of pokemon is rife with mysteries awaiting discovery - First one.
Damnit I was almost finished. I’m actually salty lmao
I'm googling and I got no clue how to deal with the other... So I went ahead and posted the first...
Kyuu really had to post this when I wasn’t on smh
I just finished eating dinner... My mind is still on food.
bingo~
yea, that one should give you a lot more trouble lol
It looks like an ancient language though, maybe there's a course that'll teach you how to read it~
What a legend
bingo~ congrats
What did you search up to find this?
google images, I typed "pokémon lfootprint language" I misspelled footprint but google images knew what I wanted.
As expected of a ruin maniac.
Alrighty! Seems like the ciphers were even more popular than I expected.
This one's a bit trickier than the last, but it comes with an in-RP reward! The first to solve this will be one of the fated few, though there'll be many more fated so don't despair~
Have at ye-!
Ah yes, I nearly forgot. About your clue—when you find it—second stanza, second line, last word. That's not all your clue is linked to, but that's all I'll say.

Lol great code kyuu, was fun to solve. Pretty sure I have the answer
Honestly a little embarrassed cause I messed up along the way a bit and once you figure it out there were so many painfully obvious clues.
Now what's my prize, if it's good enough I'll return. If not, one of my former teammates can have it xD
"A sliver, a snippet, a fragment;
A serendipitous alignment;
Of fate and fated to lands unknown;
To places one might call hidden, I suppose;
I’ll light the way, Traversing rainbows;
My stoney key won't yead you awry,
I lead the destined, the noble and pure,
Through time and space, and even the sky,
What am I?"

I believe the answer is either the relic fragment or just PMD, more specifically, Darkness, Time, and Sky. The first part is a nod to the fated chance of the character turning into a pokemon (or if the answer is the relic fragment then it is explained as the partner's destiny to find it). The "stoney key" is the relic fragment that the partner pokemon has (who is said to have found it for being noble) and also activates the rainbow stoneship. Then obviously the last sentence is a nod to the Sinnoh region and PMD game names. I really didn't realize it until the very last line xD so well done.
Now what's my prize, if it's good enough I'll return. If not, one of my former teammates can have it xD
*panic upon realizing I didn’t even consider other stones*
Your answer is solid but slightly incomplete, if no one gives a better answer then it's yours.
Edit:
Well, I don't even know if that's be fair since the relic fragment is a huge clue. I'll have to mull over it.
The answer I'm looking for is indeed the Relic Fragment which is apart of the larger Rainbow Stoneship, it's the 'stoney key'. Since the relic fragment basically hits the nail on the head, I'll give it to ya.
The reward is in fact, the relic fragment. Which will have a later use in RP.
On top of some future plot relevance, you can find a fossil of your choice there as well as a Pokemon-egg containing a Dragon/Steel/Ghost Pokemon.

I believe the answer is the Rainbow Stoneship, as it requires the relic fragment to fly. The "stoney key." It traverses rainbows. And the key only shows up for the pure, thus it leading them. That and it takes you to Temporal Tower. 
Since future puzzles may have similar tricks applied, I'll go through the process of solving it for everyone's convenience.
You begin here:
After transcribing the footprint runes you'll arrive at the cipher, which Playful did with only a few mistakes:
The completely accurate cipher is:
From there on you had to look at the clue to proceed. The clue was three segments, just like the three-digit poked entry of your clue — ho-oh.
Ho-oh's Pokedex entry is 250, with each digit relating to a segment of the code. In fact, it refers to the number of shifts that each segment has.
2 Shifts
5 Shifts
0 Shifts
Once you've done all the shifts, you get the translation, which Mango provided.
and the answer is indeed the Relic Fragment/Rainbow Stoneship.

It does say "ask to join..."
I would say just post a bio and wait for Kyu. That's the response he has been giving to everyone.
Yea, though I need to see a bois first
Name: Andy Richter
Gender: male
Age: 18
Trainer Class (What goal do you have in mind for your character? Andy would look to become a nurse ( if that's even possible) if that doesn't work then it would be a chef or ranger. In terms of the more general classes here it would be a breeder ( I dont think having a mono team is possible without pretty much guaranteeing his death.
Physical Appearance:
Clothing: Long Khaki pants that have quite a few pockets, with the leg sections going down to the sneakers, a light blue polo long sleeve shirt black sneakers with a Pikachu tail thunderbolt design. Andy also packed a pair of blue jeans, a thick sweater that's mainly gray with red sleeves and tan leather boots for Tundra-like areas. As long as the clothes are clean, Andy isn't one for fashion though he could resemble a walking kaleidoscope to some. Aside from that, he will always strive to look presentable.
Personality: Andy is eager to observe the world around him and somewhat inquisitive. That inquisitiveness has made him very bright in terms of knowledge of nature but has also led to an unhealthy sense of danger because of it. Due to still being young, he is still a little naive, which results in him falling for pranks, such as April Fools pranks. However, when this does happen, he will see it as a learning experience and, in fact occasionally going along with it knowing full well that it’s a prank for the sake of humor. One example of this comes from Ratattas or other prankster pokémon hiding his items all over Mahogany Town, the pokémon themselves belonging to other trainers. The scavenger hunts don't bother him as he sees the pokémon as being playful or silly. Andy has high morals and won't allow anything to happen to his friends, going out of his way to try and settle disputes between other locals, even though it's clearly none of his business, telling the truth whenever he does something wrong, or just being around for people that have had bad days. This does lead to him getting into some sticky situations, however, such as people ignoring Andy during a dispute, at which point he will leave them alone. Andy will start out shy to any person or pokèmon but will gradually warm up to them as time goes on and strive above most things to keep his friends happy, beware he will run away from anyone that lashes out at him. Battle-wise Andy favors being more on the defensive side, envisioning pokémon battles to be more like chess matches rather than matches of power preferring to pick his opponents apart with strategy instead
Backstory: Born into a quaint, moderately sized house in Mahogany Town Andy was an introvert at the start of his childhood, clinging mainly to his parents, Bob and Martha Richter for protection due to extreme shyness. This led to him being homeschooled and learning basic reading, writing, and math from them. The parents wanted him to make some friends with any other kids at their favorite spot, which also happens to be where the parents met, , Corsola Cove, around Mt Mortar, dubbed that due to the abundance of Corsola present. However, if they tried to help him he would run away without saying a word with a very scared expression on his face, thus leading the local kids in Mahogany to label him an oddball.
This continued until age 6 during one routine day at Andy's nowfavorite area. He was busy making little designs in the sand, with his parents watching him while they were lounging around. That is until a Water Ball pokémon popped its head out of the water. The Azurill, as identified by Mr. and Mrs. Richter who still carried pokèdexes just in case, merrily bounced up to the trio with a squeak. This was Andy's first encounter with a pokémon so initially, he recoiled away from it. The Aqua Mouse Pokémon just waved its bouncy tail at him, smiled and squeaked once more which made Andy more cautious now more than afraid as he reached out to pet the Marill of which it took full comfort in. Bob and Martha saw this occur and became overjoyed that their bundle of nerves seemed to have taken a shine to a pokémon and potential new friend. After a whole day of play by Andy and his new found poké-friend, Azurill, the Richters got ready to return to Mahogany Town. Before they left, she squeaked again, waved using that tail of hers and walked back into the lake. From then on, Andy slowly became more outgoing. By age 10 thanks to repeated visits to see Azurill, he was at least being more vocal with the Mahogany Town locals, unless it was the first time meeting a person, in that case, he would start out timid but warm up to him or her after a few minutes of conversation. Andy's homeschooling was going well too, he was learning Middle School levels of reading, writing, and math. Though he was homeschooling well, he wasn't as interested as much. His love of nature though never really diminished still wanting to go to places along Johto such as Corsola Cove, Ecruteak City, and Olivine City, as well as keeping an eye on his neighbors' potted plants.
During the year before his 1th birthday, Andy’s adventurous side started showing up. He would sneak out during the night to explore the areas around Mahogany; not going too much farther than that because he didn't want to worry his mom and dad, he was very respectful of them after all. He yearned to head to rest of the Johto region learning about the many cultures and pokémon present throughout with his own pokémon, little did he know they both were planning quite a surprise for him. On his 18th birthday, the parents let him have a chance at his own adventure, before all that though, was the usual happy birthday Andy followed by the birthday cake and presents which included a backpack, a shell bell, a flashlight as well as a very special, secret surprise that Andy's parents decided to keep secret from him, a certain blue mouse. The soon-to-be breeder was very excited about all the goodies until he remembered he still needed a pokémon, that wouldn't be such a problem though as he could at least get the little mouse via pokemart delivery.
The main question being how would he handle being wholly linked to her, as well as her life source, as she hadn't had to use moves yet.

So far so good, though I do need you to add in the additional info about Azurill like it's ability and move set. Once you've got that done then I think you'll be accepted!
Being a nurse is very possible, you'd just need to complete your courses on Nursing. The list of courses can be found in my signature. You should also think about joining the discord, the invite link is in the first post.
Sorry edited in the pokemon info
Alright accepted. Moves can be taken across generations, so you can look through Serebii or Bulbapedia for what moves Azurill can have below level 10 in other generations, since there are a few more.
I did actually, is there not the usual four move limit here?
There isn't.
Okay so all the moves that fit that are allowed? Also how does time work here, as I'm seeing the jobs and courses have durations on them. Do we have a specific amount of allocated time or something?
Rp time? Guess that means it's user controlled to a point? ( kinda need a firm time established so I dont zoom ahead sorry for the questions
This shouldn't have taken so long lmao, but here's the boy
Name: Kyran Kang
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Trainer Class: Battler, but he also wishes to pursue a more education-oriented route during his time in the United Pokemon League so that he can later assist and help raise the next generation of Trainers. That being said, success in battles and rapid advancement through the ranks of the League wouldn't hurt to get him closer to his goals.
Physical Appearance: Kyran stands at about 5'10 with a toned build and slightly tan complexion. His hair is short and black, messily swept to the left, and he has chocolate brown eyes that shine a rich honey color in the sunlight. (image below for reference)
His casual attire of choice often includes a shirt with minimal design similar to the image above, paired with black jeans and sneakers. Depending on the weather, Kyran may also wear a black nylon bomber over the shirt he is wearing.
Personality: Kyran is rather laidback, being a friendly and amicable individual but never too excited or enthusiastic. However, he exudes much more focus when engaged in his studies or a fierce battle.
