New to the forum? New to RP? Feeling overwhelmed? No problem!
Welcome to our Beginner's Guide. Here, we will outline the steps you need to take to apply, and provide links to useful information about the Pokemon Konah World.
Let's first go through the steps to learning about the world.
The best resource for information on this roleplay is on our Wiki. Of course, this is a lot of information to take in! Let's look at a few of the best pages to start with:
-The Konah Region
-The Konah Pokemon League
These pages (and the pages they lead to) give a good overview of the Konah region. Konah is a region like any other in the Pokemon universe, with its own unique challenges and people, so we encourage you to read a little about it first!
Next, we're going to want to start coming up with your character. Let's look at some of the resources we have compiled for this:
-Character Creation Guidelines: This page has all the different towns and their starters. Your first trainer must be a novice trainer setting out for their journey, so this will be where you set their starting town. You can research more about any of the towns on the Wiki! Don't worry about not being able to play other trainer types--as soon as your novice trainer is accepted, you can start applying for all sorts of characters!
-Resources: This page has some general resources for helping you build your character, including dollmakers, a trainer card maker, and more. This page is updated periodically as the admins find more useful resources, so check back with it every now and then when making new characters!
So, now we have an idea of what character we're going to be playing, and where they're from. It's time to start working on applying!
-General Application: This is the basic application which is good for all trainer types other than specialists, like Gym Leaders or Professors. We're going to want to start here for any character we're making! Make sure you fill this out before proceeding to the next step.
-Specialist Application: Have you already applied your Novice Trainer and been approved? Great! If you're applying for another character that is not just a regular trainer, this app add-on is for you! This app is submitted alongside the general application for any characters who are more than just a regular trainer, such as gym leaders, professors, etc. These characters are often also required to participate in storylines and help to moderate the forums, so please consider that when applying.
-Once your application is done, post it here or PM it to Admin Thea!
Great! Your application is in. Next, we will go over the rules, formats, and mechanics of the Pokemon Konah RP itself.
