Ask to Join The Johto Journey Discussion

Hello All! Welcome to the Johto Journey!

This Is a Step-by-Step Recreation of Pokemon Heartgold/Soulsilver. Plot points suggested by roleplayers will be discussed and probably put into the roleplay at some point, but the main goal of the Roleplay is to stick to the story in the games.


I feel like Johto doesn't get enough love anymore, and this RP is meant to change it. Everything that happens in these games, from receiving the Starters, to Team Rocket, Slowpoke Well, will happen. You can create a gym leader, but I'll be roleplaying them. The battling in this roleplay will be based on the anime; you can have more than four moves but they must make sense for the pokemon.

The three starter pokemon are Totodile, Cyndaquil, Chikorita, and Togepi. The rival will receive a pokemon of your choice that is not one of those three.

Wow! I absolutely adore Johto, I think this will be great. Just one question before I post: is there a limit to how many characters one can play? Could I be a main trainer and rival? Or rival and gym leader? Or just a main trainer, if that's what you'd like me to keep to.
 
I am interested to join, but I don't know the story for Heartgold/Soulsilver
but Johto is probably my favorite region
and i am interested to also (possibly) creating one of the Gym Leaders
but then again I'm already in 1 rp and waiting to be accepted in another rp.. so yea..

EDIT: If i decide (or if it's ok for me) to join can I take dibs on Cyndaquil? (just asking)

Well you don't have to know the story; I'll be the one initiating plot events and such. Not that big of a deal. But I don't want you to be overloaded.

I added a background section in the trainer template. This'll be judged to determine writing ability and could decide if someone gets accepted or not. Pay special attention to it.
 
Here we go and sorry for double posting

Name:
Veronica Morris

Age:
16

Gender:
Female

Nickname:
N/A

Character:
Main Character 3

Appearance
Hair Color:
Raw Umber
Hairstyle: Long (reaches halfway down her back), quite straight and is often worn in a messy braid
Body Type: Short, Average weight and musculature
Skin Color: Sienna
Clothing: a White T-shirt, sweatpants shorts, red cap that looks like a pokeball and a pair of black sneakers with red highlights
Extra Items: 3 Oran berries and a red backpack with black highlights

Personality:
Veronica is someone who is quite extroverted, but she too needs to be alone to recharge from time to time. She is also somewhat relaxed, but she'll work hard to achieve her goals. She usually finds it hard to be truthful regarding her likes and dislikes, as she wants to at least try to be everyone's friend and Veronica is quite afraid to be judged by what she likes and dislikes. She is also someone who is quite generous, but she also finds it difficult to say "no" to people

Background:
Veronica grew up on a berry farm with her family, so she is pretty good at recognizing berries and their effects on pokemon. She always wanted to become a trainer, but as she grew older she learned that there were many different classes of trainers, but still stick to the path of a basic trainer and claim all the different badges in her home region and possibly even all the badges in Kanto.

Both of Veronica's parents were trainers when they were younger, but neither of them got past the 10th gym (in Kanto) and they are willing to support and help their daughter. She has also both a younger and an older brother. Her older brother never liked the idea of battling pokemon, but instead became a pokemon breeder. Veronica's younger brother hasn't really thought of becoming a trainer or something else.

Veronica's interest of becoming a trainer started when her parents thought her how to defend her self if (for example) a wild pokemon attacked, so she has a quite a bond with some of her parents pokemon. Afterwards she sometimes asked if she could help one of her parents if they were battling each other or if she could play with their pokemon and most of the time the answer was yes.

Name:
Veronica Morris

Veronica seems somewhat... Bland. And the background needs an overhaul; It's bare. There are some grammatical errors that make it somewhat hard to follow. You've got 8 sentences, while it could be more some of them are also run ons and it makes the flow sound weird. If you could bring the background up to maybe 15 or 20 sentences and fix the flow, you'll probably be accepted.
 
Hey! I'd like to join if you'll have me, but as you may know I still haven't ever done a roleplay. Not sure what is happening with that other thread we both posted in and I'd really like to use that character. That said my character is essentially the one from the other thread, but revamped. I understand though if you'd rather not have me!

Name:
Tyler (I'm still trying to decide on a last name)

Age: 18

Gender: Male

Nickname: Ty

Character: Main

Appearance
Hair Color-
Brown
Hairstyle- Crew cut
Body Type- Broad chested and slightly muscled. Is 5'11"
Skin Color- Pale white
Clothing- Black straight jeans, white v-neck, dark purple and black flannel shirt tied around waist, dark purple shoes and a dark purple beanie
Extra Items- Bright orange backpack and a camera hanging around his neck

Personality: Tyler is a friendly person who wants to get along with everyone. He comes off as shy and quiet because meeting new people makes him anxious. Once he becomes comfortable with you he opens up and will joke and tease with you.

Background: Tyler grew up in Newbark Town as the youngest of four with both of his brothers becoming battlers like their father while his sister married into a somewhat rich farming family. His mother was a stay at home mom. He feels he will not be able to reach the level of battling skills his brothers and father have reached. Despite being shy with people he found it very easy to open up with pokemon. Growing up he could almost always be found with his dads Heracross exploring the forest near his town. As he reached his thirteenth year he received a camera as a birthday present and started taking pictures of the pokemon he met in the forest.

Even though his father wanted him to become a professional trainer and take on the Johto league he found his passion in photographing pokemon. He aspires to become a professional photographer and meet and photograph as many pokemon as he can. He figured the best way to accomplish that would be to go on a journey so he finally succumbed to his fathers wishes and decided to tackle the Johto league.

Pokemon(Update throughout roleplay, please)

Starter Pokemon
Species:
Cyndaquil if it's available, but if not Totodile.
Gender: Male
Nickname(Not Required For ANY Pokemon): I'm going to think on this before deciding on something.
Personality: Shy and unsure of himself Cyndaquil wants to be able to prove his worth. He dreams of becoming stronger and evolving into Typhlosion one day.
Moves: Tackle, Leer, Smokescreen

I filled the pokemon out for Cyndaquil, but if I need to change it to Totodile I'll edit. Just curious, but why did you pick Togepi as the other starter? Is it because you're given it as an egg in HGSS?

Alright, well for starters I'd like to know a bit more about him in your background, and flesh out the personality a bit. But of course I do love your character from a simple character standpoint. Also yes, I chose Togepi simply because it was given as an egg and I didn't have a better option.
 
Johto has Always been underappreciated in my opinion, so this looks like a really good RP for me to get back in the game. I'd like to upload my character sheet as the main rival.

Name:
Wolf August

Age: 20

Gender:
Male

Nickname:
Wolf

Character:
Rival

Appearance
Hair Color-
Ash gray
Hairstyle-
Mid-length and wild, often put up in a topknot to keep it out of his eyes
Body Type-
Little taller than average, athletic build
Skin Color-
Pale
Clothing-
Black 'Eterna Electivires' sweater (the city's very own football team), camo cargo pants and black running shoes underneath.
Extra Items-
A necklace with a Razor Fang pendant.

Personality:
Wolf is nothing if not honest. Sometimes maybe a tad too honest. He does not shy away from sharing his opinion, more often than not with a complete disregard for how he makes people feel with it. Some would say he's a bully, whereas he would just call it 'the law of the jungle.' He wholeheartedly believes he will become the strongest trainer in all of the regions, and will stop at nothing to prove that. In battle, he is reckless and rash instead of calm and collected.

Background:
Wolf grew up in the Sinnoh region, more specifically in Eterna City. His parents, who were both successful trainers, started to teach him and his two-year elder sister Alicia the ways of Pokémon battling at an early age. It became clear early on that Alicia used her smarts to continuously defeat Wolf in battle, who grew more and more agitated with each loss. Coming to the conclusion that battling wasn't for him, Wolf focussed on sports while Alicia travelled the Sinnoh region, collecting gym badges and winning tournaments.

Wolf's parents, disappointed with his choice to give up battling, decided to send him to the Johto regio, in order for him to become more independent and find his spark to become a trainer. He is set to stay with his uncle and also veteran trainer Elias, who will aid him through his journey and help Wolf find his strength.
