III. CHARACTER CREATION
welcome to the world of kalopsia! below, you'll find the code for the application template you must fill out when it comes to making your character, but first please refer to the guidelines below to ensure your application will be accepted:
001. no legendaries - this is almost goes without saying but there's no harm in sticking it here anyway. please note that this also includes mythical pokémon such as shaymin, manaphy and phione.
002. only baby/basic stage pokémon to start out with - if the pokémon is first in its evolutionary chain, then it is considered a baby stage pokémon and you're automatically good to go! this includes pokémon such as pichu, happiny or togepi.
basic stage pokémon are also accepted, and can be identified if they only received a pre-evolution in later generations, such as pikachu, magmar and chansey.
however we only accept basic stage pokémon from three-part evolutionary lines so final stage basic pokémon such as lucario and snorlax will not be accepted. sorry!
pokémon without an evolution line are also permitted such as absol, skarmory or druddigon. here's a list to give you some more ideas!
if you have any questions regarding baby/basic stage pokémon, feel free to ask a member of staff in either the cbox or through PM.
003. if you want to make a shiny pokémon... we have a system to determine that. before you finish your application, just send a PM to me or any other member of staff saying you want to try for one! we'll roll a dice for you with a range of 1-100, and if you get a result of 90 or above, you will be given permission to make your pokémon a shiny. think the chances are too low? I think a 1/10 chance is fairer than the 1/8192 odds of encountering a legitimate shiny in the wild lmao. not to worry, you'll have opportunities to receive rights to shiny pokémon through competitions, raffles and other stuff too!
004. fossil pokémon - pokémon like aerodactyl, cranidos and amaura are not considered extinct in this universe and therefore, permitted!
005. you must start at level 5 - don't worry, the experience system will ensure you get leveling up soon enough! this is just to ensure all members are on the same starting block.
006. you may know one 'special' move - your character will know all the moves your respective pokémon can know up to and including level 5, with the option of ONE additional 'special' move such as an egg move, TM taught move, tutored move, etc. that that pokémon can legally learn. we'll be checking!
007. hidden abilities are permitted - just pick the ability that suits your pokémon the best!
008. appearance can be personalised! - whilst this doesn't mean you can go around making purple charmanders or black eevees, you can describe how your character differs from other of the species within reason. this includes unique eye colours, maybe a birthmark, scars, even items of clothing or jewellery as long as they don't have any functional purposes such as attack boosts and whatnot. those kinds of items must be either purchased or obtained in a dungeon.
009. no... weird superpowers... no, you can't be an eevee with telekinesis. I don't care if you were experimented on as a child. the moves you know are superpowers enough, suck it up.
010. if you're making a shiny or other special pokémon... you'll need to give us evidence of the thread or post in which you obtained it. a link to the raffle or competition or whatever else pasted at the bottom of your application will suffice!
011. genders - we're all very accepting here, there's no need to worry! if you have a pokémon that usually wouldn't have a gender such as magnemite or ditto, you can decide one for them if you wish. the same goes for pokémon that usually would have genders, they can identify as whatever you want!
o another important sidenote as that whilst you do not have a limit on how many characters you can create we do request that you create ONE ACCOUNT PER CHARACTER so that we're able to keep tabs on the ranking, money, postcount and all that jazz for each individual character. I personally recommend using 10minutemail for the email address of these extra accounts if you don't want to clog up your email account!
o bulbapedia is a good directory for every pokémon there is if you're stuck on what moves and such your pokémon should know, go ahead and have a look!
o you can find information on the allegiances here if you're unsure where your character would best belong.
o here's some more useful links regarding pokémon natures and characteristics. please stay true to your character in terms of these aspects rather than go for what gets you the best stats.
o please replace the image with one of your own pokémon!
o please put (wip) or (unfinished) or something beside applications if you're still working on them! if not, the staff will assume it's ready for moderation and start going through it.
you can find the code for the application template below, and you must fill it out in a thread on the PENDING board under your character's FULL NAME. not 'john - male bulbasaur' or 'sandra the explorer' or whatever else. full name, like 'john smith'. leave it to the staff to organise it into the appropriate board once it's accepted (:
thank you to Azar for creating the new application template!
TIP: for those not hip with coding, once you've pasted this template into your own thread simply click the 'BBCode' tab and then switch back into the 'Preview' tab to make it easier to understand and fill out. if you have any questions, feel free to pop up in the cbox or shoot a message off to a member of staff. good luck and have fun!
