I have a cool idea for a new Pokémon adventure. I was going to call it "Legacy of a Coordinator", and involve the trials of a girl who dreams of becoming as legendary a coordinator as her father before her (who is said to have mysteriously died in a fire). She's new to the contest stuff, and has a lot to learn. To make this exciting, I thought that a rogue offshoot of Team Rocket ("Team Laser", known for their high-tech gear) could be involved in all of this (and maybe even in her father's death).
My inspiration comes from the fact that I finally got Pokémon Ruby, and have totally come to love how unique it is from the older games. Also, I think the Pokémon contests, as displayed in the animé, are pretty neat.

Would it be based just on contests? Or would people be able to journey with your character, battling gyms, and stuff like that as well? I've been thinking about getting back into PRP for sometime, might be a good chance too.

I'm in if you're willing to do this. You're great with doing slow and steady for response rates in RPs, and that's how I PRP. So I'll do it. Hmmm...

Would be willing to join in..... as long as we got to have some battles. This looks like it would be more dialogue than action. Which is what I like, but It would still need action for fun lol.

Hey, there'll be action - especially in dealing with Team Laser.
Don't forget this bit: the contests as shown in the animé, sometimes involve putting on a display of a pokémon's abilities in a 1-on-1 battle. I love how May dealt with her Combusken during one HOT fight...

I would have to find out about contests, its been a very long time since I've picked up Ruby/Sapphire. I'm willing to join, but I'm not so sure I'll be much good. =[

I just need to figure out who to use... Pablo wouldn't be right, since he'd be trying to literally decapitate Team Laser members with his own hands, Elm's too emotionally screwed up, Isambard's off-fit. Got it! Thyra it is!
I love the whole style of the contest battles, where the main goal is scoring points with clever strategy and grace, and then secondary is the damage dealt. Can't wait!

I need to figure out a few things before I can start it up, though.
(like details on Team Laser; for one thing, they are a rather small group - something like 15 members. I also need to work out what their goal and purpose is apart from originally being members of Team Rocket, etc.)

I'll join, but on one condition.
I want my character to actually BE Mewtwo. Not a human, Mew friggin Two, because he kicks frikkin ass!

Well, if you did, since like there's battle and all, like have 'im limit himself/be limited somehow. As a character, he could be allowed. But if he goes and blows apart Team Laser in five seconds, that ****s our plot to high hell. So yeah, somehow work out a limit that won't be bypassed.

I'm gonna start out with a newborn Mewtwo actually, some abitious team trying to recreate him. Of corse, it'll work, the Mewtwo I start out with will just be inexperienced and lacking any type of attack. Accept maybe a basic attack, maybe mega punch or something.

Actually, I can see that being kind of awesome... A newly spawned one, this one having been injected with a limiter compound that it will naturally wear out over time to prevent another "incident". It escapes, Team Laser, the branch that created it, gets the boot, and start after it. And the heroes have to mask it/protect it until it matures.
Fuse that with Kara's plot line and we've got all kinds of intrigue, backstabbing, and originality going on. And that's how PRP should be.

I'm up for this, I'd been hoping someone would start something new in PRP. I love the roleplay I just suck with original storylines.
Also: *Spews on the baby Mewtwo*

Ick... baby Mewtwo.... Not sure. If I use Sly we're already gonna have one Legendary in the topic. I think I should use Sly here. He'd be my best bet for this topic. Make modifications to the equipment (poke gears and stuff) plus with the death of Venasaur he's down to just one pokemon (Mew). He can slowly rebuild his team lol. Oh and he's not gonna particapate in any 'contests' he'll just be traveling with the group. His link can be Thyra since they know eachother through Lee (have they ever been a topic together and actualy talked? lol). What region we gonna be in?
Oh and Lee what ever happened to Articuno/Minase?

Minase was confiscated along with all of Zebedee's Pokemon barring Chinchou when he was exiled. Chinchou was "traded" to Thyra in a desperation move. So, Minase is tied up in red tape right now. If you wanted to get it, it'd require a raid on a government/league building.
OOH! 'nother idea!

Alright, beind a PRP vet as it stands I feel that I must interject in this subject and bring some things to light that I feel that you need to know.
The contest idea was tried once before and it really was shaky because of one simple fact, most people really aren't willing to put their characters aside to enter a judging role. Contests run on a judging system and if one is not able to find said judges will fail at the contest concept. One judge would not be near enough for the purpose of the contest. There would have to be three to keep things fair in all. That in itself is a problem because people are fickle in the aspect of giving up a role to judge. I also have a problem with the whole concept of basing the entire RP around one character. No offence to Kara, because I know that she's a fantastic RPer and has a great deal of experence, but ever since the Great RP War, if one whole storyline of an RP is based around a single character, they fail. The concept works for TV programs, but not for RPs.
As for the mini-Mewtwo concept, I feel that it's a bad idea. Ever since the creation of what we now refer to as the PRP we have always had only one of ever legend. The great Gary Oak has the possession of Mewtwo and seeing as we have decided not to rewrite the history of the RP, then Gary still has possession of Mewtwo. I'm not sure if I feel comfortable with the whole concept unless something was worked out with Sly's Mew getting cloned and a different Mewtwo was created, but the structure of the creature would have to be different.
As for the rebirth of the PRP, I'm more than willing to make my return to the boards to join back in because I'm been in a real PRP mood lately. Let the flaming of DL/discussion of fine tuned details begin.

Yeah, the Mewtwo is Kara's call. It could be good, or ruinous.
I pulled off a contest once. It required a lot of DM activity, though, and seemed unfair if a player got outclassed by the competition. Bulbs with Venasaur was one of the competitors.

Nobody clones Mew *holds Mew tightly*

Um, forgetting Yagei are we? Who cloned a friggin duplicate instead of bothering to make it even vaguely different...aside from being a shiny that is.
And I wasn't thinking my Mewtwo would be the same. Since several pokemon were used to fill in the blanks of the DNA for Mewtwo the first time around, I was thinking of something similar, which would obviously result in a slight or major change of Mewtwo's appearance.
Oh, and another thing, my Mewtwo, as a character, will never participate in actual tournaments, though battles are another story.
I was thinking of changing the styling of my Mewtwo anyways, and I've come up with a few ideas. I was thinking of making at least one of the move classes taboo for my Mewtwo, in exchange for a cooler appearance and maybe a more powerful Hidden Power. Anyway, here are a few concepts.
Fire Mewtwo - Takes on some of the main characteristics of blazekin, those being his arms and legs are on fire, along with his tail, an inheritance from charzard. Taboo Move-class, Water.
Ice Mewtwo - His cuffs are frozen, along with his ankles, creating icy spikes that enhance physical attacks with ice attributes. His tail is like a jagged blade of ice. Taboo Move-class, Fire.
Dark Mewtwo - His eye's seem to suck in light, and his hide is now a sharp contrast of black and silver. Taboo Move Class - Normal (I guess, since there isn't a light move class...)
Grass Mewtwo - Taking on a more green appearance, his tails has a blade like that of syther, and he carries a staff much like (inserts name of bird/grass pokemon of which I cannot remember). Taboo Move Class - Fire.
Ice/Grass - Retains the blade like tail of syther origins, while the appearance is more of a cyan and icy blue. Retains the frozen cuffs and ankles, with the added addition of icy chains wrapped around his waist, which are used for vine whip in substitute of vines. Taboo move class - Fire
Ice/Dark - Retains the black eye's of the abyss, though the rest of the appearance in mixed. His hide takes on a blue sheen to the blackness, and his silver coloring looks somewhat like a gunmetal blue. The icy cuffs and ankle spikes remain, but a deep black instead of a vivid blue. Taboo Move Class - Normal
I have a few others, but I'm still fine tuning. Most of them are Fly/Element mainly though.

Changin Mewtwo's type and moveset would only make things more complicated. If you didn't use it in battles then that would be a little better but there are still issues that need worked on.

Lol, well, its a condition. I won't join unless we get it worked out. Or, if you prefer, I can chose another legendary that hasn't been taken.

Why do you want a legendary? Pointless really, start from scratch it's much more fun.

I would preffer Legendarys not be given out as conditions. It's like bribeing us.... infact... I just remembered something.
Lee, don't we have a rule on the Lengendarys? About how we grant them and stuff. I think it's time we finaly called one of those meetings and discused it. I know I'm on it and you're on it. Who else was a member of that little group that decides legendarys?

Yeah, the commitee/council, which should work fairly well. I'll PM you telling who the council members are this time for this vote.
We'll hold the vote once Kara tells us her opinion on the Mewtwo idea.
