If you have any questions about the rules post them here. I will keep track of important questions and add them to this post.
POKEMON LEAGUE:
1) Do I need to face the gyms in a certain order?
No you do not. Gym leaders have multiple teams and will use weaker or more powerful Pokemon dependant on the amount of badges you have.
2) How can I become a Gym Leader or E4 member?
Gym Leader: In order to become a Gym Leader you must earn at least one (1) badge from another Gym Leader and own at least 6 Pokemon. Once you meet these requirements you must contact the Pokemon League Officiators and book a test date. If you pass the test you are permitted to open a Gym of your own.
E4: Once you have 8 badges you may challange the Elite Four, if you beat a member you may stop the challenge and take that members place. If you do this the first member of the E4 is removed not the one you stop the challenge at.
3) Why would I want to train as a apprentice of a Gym Leader? (The guys you have to battle before the Gym Leaders in the Video Games.)
Before you beat a Gym Leader and earn their badge you may choose to train under them. During this time you may need to capture or use certain Pokemon. Gym Leader apprentices gain access to certain quests, items and information that normal trainer would never get the chance to.
TRAVEL: 1) How does the Livian Ferry work?
The Livian Ferry shows up every three of four days in real life. The day it arrives, it departs. There will be an announcement in the PNN thread about a day or two in advance when the ferry will arrive at the Docks, and a post the day after it leaves. Livian's located in the southwest corner of Risin, and the ferry takes the passengers back and forth between another town on the eastern coast of the region.
If you're interested in riding the ferry, all you have to do is make your character's way over to the Docks thread in Livian Port. The end of your post should have an OOC announcement that you're going to be taking the ferry. You have 24 hours from the time it arrives to the time it leaves to board it. While on the ferry, we ask that you don't post with your character until you arrive. Your character will officially be at the destination the next day in Real Life. (When we make the announcement that the ferry has left (which will be the day after it does), we'll include a note that says that if you were aboard the ferry, you're free to exit into the destination's docks thread.)
ITEMS:
1) What Pokéballs will be availible?
Over the course of the game it will be possible to find Pokéballs, Great Balls, Ultra Balls, Master Balls, Level Balls, Lure Balls, Moon Balls, Friend Balls, Fast Balls, Heavy Balls, Love Balls, Luxury Balls, Net Balls, Dive Balls, Nest Balls, Repeat Balls, Timer Balls, Heal Balls, Dusk Balls, Quick Balls and players can get special Custom Pokéballs.
I like how unlearned moves were set up in the previous version, with pokemon becoming exhausted quicker when they tried them, and trainers being able to essentially train into moves of their own design (in a way). I also liked that if a move available to us didn't quite fit the situation, there was an bit of leniency to try something different and improvise. Would that system also be sticking around? What about mortality for extreme cases of over-exertion?
It was mentioned before about Ranger having access to something called a Capture Styler, or something like that. Like what the ranger used to help put out the fire in the last round. Would those still be available to Rangers, and what are they, exactly (if they are staying)? I think I can guess this next one, but would they be available to other people as well, say, through Black Markets?
What is the ruling behind the Pre-Game thread being locked down?
It was the first glimpse of active participation that players have had in over a month. Because of this downtime, while I understand rebuilding the world isn't an easy or fast process, I feel that the players who have already registered may be losing interest (correct me if I'm wrong, players) and anyone new who looks at this sub-forum is choosing to not sign up because they see it as inert.
I still intend on being an active player, but if I will be active on a dead game, even I have my limits.
The main reasoning? Because VideoJuegos did it without our permission.
Anyway, believe me when I say that we are very, very close to finishing this. We want the world 100% done when we start -- that means all the city threads, mechanics, all that stuff posted/worked out. We're not quite there yet, but soon, very soon... I do see where you're coming from, and I apologize for having it take this long.
About Frox: for nearly 10 years, Frox has been helping women look good and feel great in easy-fit, mix-and-match, and work-to-weekend with just a few pieces by helping them make the right choices when it comes to clothing and accessories.
So, Daft, Froxy? Its been almost four days? Any progress reports? We players haven't seen any new posts in the town threads and its a little disconcerting. Any insight into what's going on for us?

I'll bet you wish you had a non-unglued/unhinged card that shared your first name.
Once again, I am acting without the consultation of Daftmouse or Froxy. I woud understand if that is confusing to you, so I must explain my reasoning. Neither Daftmouse nor Froxy have posted in public in a long time. Furthermore, they have not posted anything of substance in our secret WPL Discussion forum in almost two weeks. They claim that we are close to finishing, but honestly, there are very few things we have decided upon. I will not lie, this is entirely my fault. When I was elevated to a WPL, I saw a lot of the things that Daftmouse and Froxy were doing, and from my experience, I saw a lot of those thing as wrong for the game. I presented some logical arguments explaining my reasoning. I am not going to get into logistics, but they have refused to give many logical arguments, simply deciding to outvote me on everything. Right now, the only thing they are doing on this forum is deleting my posts and they are doing nothing to further the game.
A few days ago, I gave them a final warning. I said that in 24 hours I would start the game unless they started explaining their reasoning to me or proved to me that they actually care about the game. I had a busy end of the week (it was my birthday), but now I finally have some time. Honestly, I did not want to do this. The only reason I posted that was to try to convince them to do something, but they did not, and I have to show them that I will not back down. It is extremely likely that they will delete this post, and then continue to do nothing. However, I am dedicated to starting this game as soon as I can, so I will not give up.
I am starting the game using my ideas. Why? Well, Daftmouse and Froxy have yet to convince me that their rules were worthy of being in the game. All they have told me that it is part of their "superior system." I am not convinced so easily, especially when starting with a different, risky fresh start could lead to ANOTHER reset, which I will avoid at all costs.
I am going to start the game as soon as I get some response from you on the following question:
Do you want a Pre-Game?
I like the idea of a Pre-Game. I think it is a fun way to get started and help develop one's character before they begin the game. Also, it give people a chance to get used to the new world (although my system is very very similar to Makorandy's, so don't expect many differences) and to my RPing style. Also, it buys me some time to work out all the kinks. Since I would not longer have to wait forever for a response from Daftmouse or Froxy, I would probably be done soon. However, I know you are anxious to start, so I am going to remain flexible and do what I think is important for a WPL to do: ask his players. So, please tell me if you want the Pre-Game (some time aboard the Livian Ferry before arriving at Livian Port) or if you want to jump right in. Thanks a lot.
If you have any questions, if you want more details, or if you don't feel like I explained myself thoroughly enough, please feel free to post here or PM me. Thank you so so much.
PS: Also, this is obviously a biased account. If you want to hear the other side, please, please, please PM Daftmouse and Froxy. Hopefully, they will post it here, but I bet this post will be gone in an hour...
I am fine with a pre-game start. But I also do not want to start playing until all the WPL's for this RPG are in accord with one another, as I really don't want to anger or upset any of you one way or another.

I just want to say that I honestly don't like doing working without them. I think that if Daftmouse, Froxy, and I were to all discuss, share our ideas, and compromise, we could truly make the game the best it can be. I am not using this as an excuse to enforce my own agenda. It is just that, after being ignored for multiple days, this is what I have to do, especially when there are players like Cyouni and pet snake who want to start ASAP.

If the majority wants to start ASAP, then I am fine with that I suppose. I just want this to be fun and enjoyable for all since we will all be playing this game. So whatever needs done to make that happen, that's what I want :).
I personally would have only medium interest in the pre-game if something were actually happening. As it is, the time since the last post I have seen is about a month, with even more time inactive before that.
Do not expect me to wait indefinitely on something that does not appear to be advancing.
I'm with Ejdeha and Psi in that I could use some experience. I wouldn't mind a quick pregame to get into the swing of things, especially with how long we've been waiting. My spare time and interest are both waning now that school is in session, and I'd really like it if this thing could get underway sometime soon.
A Pokemon is something that you control. In this game, you are practically controlling two characters at once. Battles are done in free-form, which pretty much means there are no numbers involved. You will get a feel for it pretty quickly. You can do what ever feels right to you and what you want to do. If you are a starting Treecko with Pound and Leer, your most powerful attacks, and the ones you are most used to doing are Pound and Leer. However, you are not limited to that. You can do whatever you want. The Treecko could run, jump, hide, dodge, duck,....whatever you can think of. Also, since battles can get boring with only one move, you can use what are called "Unlearned moves." You may use any move that you think your pokemon could use (and please be reasonable). However, this move would be much weaker since it has not been refined, and it might fail or the user might stumble. Also, when you use an attack, you do not deicde if it hits or misses. The one being attacked has to decide this. This is a lot of responsibility, because you have to decide your own fate. You can't win them all, though. Be reasonable, or else a WPL will have to act.
Just have fun with it. And remember, the more descriptive you are, the better.
I believe the game is now officially dead. I didn't want to say it because it's such a fun and enjoyable world to be in.
Daftmouse, Froxy . . . The continued "coming soon", "almost done", "couple more days" has turned into months again (I checked). In the last two weeks, the only people to post have been iforgot120, pet snake, and myself. That itself shows that interest has SEVERELY dried up. What happened?
Videojuegos . . . While your return was good to see, where did you go? You decided to open a pre-game thread just to try and keep interest up, and give people new to WPs some experience before the full version rolled out. It's been almost a month since your last post in that thread. Did you become busy again? There's nothing to go with here, you just up and disappeared.
There's only so much I could do to help. . . I tried to nudge Zazirik's character to participate in a battle with Cyouni's character (in a friendly way), just because experience is always helpful. But without the WPLs to post updates about events and such, this is what happens.
Zazirik, Mirari, and Edjeha all said they wanted experience with RPing before the full game took effect. . . . They now haven't posted here in weeks.
Cyouni was only somewhat interested in pre-game, and was eager for the full to begin . . . that's now been months in limbo amid promises of "soon".
KoolKoal was somewhere in between, but also eager for the full game.
iforgot120 had a previous character in one of the retired threads, but came back to it, seeing there was some activity. Now nothing, because everyone else appears to have given up on this.
All I'm trying to get is a straight answer about things. What is the status of the full version of the game? Is it still going to happen? If so, when? Or is it dead, and I'm the last character standing in a desolated world? Give us something, please.
. . . .
Oh, and iforgot120 . . . depending on what happens, check the retired threads for your old character, and copy-paste it into the currect character registration thread . . . and adjust it for the current setup in the first post. . . but I would probably wait until the WPLs respond to this. If the game is dead, you'd just be wasting your time.
I still wanna play for sure :thumbsup:. But at this point I think I just wanna jump right into the real thing....I suppose I can continue with the practice thread and such until the cities and stuff are built, but nothing new has been posted in months and that is concerning/disheartening for me as a player.
POKEMON LEAGUE:
1) Do I need to face the gyms in a certain order?
No you do not. Gym leaders have multiple teams and will use weaker or more powerful Pokemon dependant on the amount of badges you have.

I'm in the same boat as Ejdeha here. I've done a minimal amount of RP, so this would be good for myself as well.
Do not expect me to wait indefinitely on something that does not appear to be advancing.
The Pre-Game has been reopened since it seems to be the popular option. Enjoy!
