General & Proboard Rules
✯Respect- This is applied to EVERYONE. Insults,trolling, and any other kinds of bullying is considered disrespect. If you are caught, you will be offered an warning. 2+ more times caught, you will automatically be banned. But what is Trolling? Trolling is the act of intentionally attempting to get a rise out of someone by doing something that you know specifically will annoy them, or that the person has specifically stated against. An example of trolling would be to start talking about something that people have strong personal convictions about, such as rape or abortion, and to continue to do such a thing with pure malicious intent after someone has asked you to stop.
✯Rulers of this site- Whatever an Admin, G.Mod, & Mod, says goes, unless its something unprofessional, silly, etc.
✯Plagiarism- This will not be tolerated! If this act is committed you will be automatically banned. No warnings.
✯No Flaming/Baiting-A flame is, put simply, an insult. Continuously attacking someone for something that they like or dislike is rude and uncalled for. Such actions undermine the trust and happy spirit of the roleplaying community and will absolutely not be tolerated upon this site. A little bit of teasing is okay, but when its' clear that you're acting out just for the sake of pissing someone off, you will see disciplinary action.
Baiting is similar to trolling. Basically, baiting is performing actions in an attempt to get someone to flame you. Examples of this would be to continuously call someone out over something stupid, with your sole purpose being to agitate the other person in an attempt to get them to attack you and then get them in trouble for flaming. Baiting, like flaming, is unacceptable upon this site and will result in disciplinary actions.

Account/Character Rules
✯Trackers- If you wouldn't mind, placing your tracker/pc into your signutare so people can see what you've done, and what pokemon you have.~

In-Character(IC) Rules
✯God Modding/Power Playing- God Modding, also known as god modeing, going god mode, or anything of the sort is the act controlling another individuals character within a post. Simply put, you only have control over the actions of your character, and your character alone. The manner in which other people respond to your actions is completely up to them, and as such, you do not have the authority to control their character in any way, shape, or form, unless given explicit permission. God Modding is absolutely and completely unacceptable, and if it is seen, harsh disciplinary action will occur.
✯Powerleveling- There is no need for you to powerlevel, we're not gonna allow it either way. Each battle you win, your pokemon will level up by how many pokemon they fought. EX: Pikachu vs. Swaddle & Caterpie. Pikachu will get 2 levels. Pikachu & Caterpie VS. Pidgey & Charmander. Pikachu gets 2 levels, Caterpie gets 2 levels.
✯No Metagaming-Metagaming is the act of using Out of Character knowledge as purpose or reasoning for a character's action "In Character". Using knowledge that you have from outside of your character's perspective is not allowed. An example of this would be to see people talking about a post in an alleyway on the other side of the town, and your going there to do something specifically because you saw the cbox post. In order to prevent Metagaming, everyone should practice something called "Firewalling".
Firewalling is, simply put, creating a barrier between your character's knowledge and your own personal knowledge. You must roleplay your character in the manner in which you posted within your character sheet. To do otherwise will be considered god modding and is not allowed. Do not let us see you using Out of Character reasoning in order to perform actions with your character, otherwise you will absolutely suffer disciplinary action.
✯Starter Pokemon- We have a available pokemon list, where you may pick one of the pokemon out of the list. Whenever these pokemon are picked, another random pokemon will replace it. Oh yes, the available pokemon are randomized, so people won't all have the regular starter pokemon. I believe its its more fun to have your own starter pokemon that you can bond with, a pokemon different from the others.
✯PG-13- Yes the site is only rated Pg-13 because proboards would ban us otherwise. We only, some sexual content, drugs,etc. If there is something more than sexual content, please take it to here.
✯Companion Pokemon- I have decided to allow this. This will be a pokemon that will occupying you, but will not battle. This means you will have 6 pokemon, and 1 companion pokemon. This companion pokemon can be from where your character, if this is the case you can never battle with this pokemon.
