				I'd rather avoid dealing with legendaries except in circumstances where we may find ourselves in a position to help them from Team Rocket's predations.&nbsp; In any event, I doubt it would be so simple as "catching" them.&nbsp; Considering how many poke balls it can take just to catch one in-game, and the rarity of them in this roleplay, it'd be next to impossible.&nbsp; At best I could see convincing one to join you of its own free will.&nbsp; If Team Rocket is upsetting the natural balance of things, I imagine they would get pretty riled up.

There's not all that much on-foot traveling going on between the cities and various locales of Johto/Kanto. Everyone is government-issued a Bike. Read the transportation section for more info.

If you have a question, it's possible someone else has the same one. <br><br>I was actually going to add that into the Pokemon info section soon anyway. <br>Wild encounters will, for the most part, be completely up to you guys. However, because of the recent Pokemon aggression and because everyone's Pokemon is still weak and untrained, it's highly recommended you don't stray too far outside the city limits and when you do, you finish your business along the Johto and Kanto routes as fast as possible. <br><br>Occasionally, either myself or the Co-GM will throw a curveball in your direction with a wild Pokemon encounter. As with the NPCs, myself or the Co-GM will, when necessary, RP as the wild Pokemon/NPC/whoever, but for the most part you're on your own. You'll be alerted through PM and/or in the IC. <br><br>Catching Pokemon will work on the honor system. You will flip a coin or roll some dice and determine if you caught the Pokemon. Hopefully we're all mature and creative enough here to not cheat at flipping a coin. It's just an RP, after all.&nbsp; <br><br>As of right now, nobody has any spare Pokeballs so you don't have to worry about catching Pokemon. When Pokeballs will come into play, they still won't be all that common so you should consider whether you <em>really</em> want that Pokemon at which you're about to throw a Pokeball. You never know when something even better might pop up. <br><br><em>You should all expect to receive quite a few PMs during the course of this RP. I want to keep the IC as clutter-free as possible. </em><br>

				Okay. Thanks! A few more quick questions that'll help me write my starter post. <br>One: Amy will have to go through Ilex forest to get to Goldenrod. In the game there's wild Pokemon encounters all throughout the forest. Will that be the case here? Not planing to have an encounter right off the bat, but I thought I'd mention rather or not they might be there in my post. <br>Two: Is that stupid tree you have to cut down still there? If so, how would I cut it if my Pokemon doesn't know Cut?<br>Three: Is the man who teaches Headbutt still there?<br>Four: Is the Daycare Center still on Route 34?

The Pokemon in this RP are more self-reliant and independent than the lovable oaf type Pokemon you usually see. HMs and TMs aren't necessary because the Pokemon have those abilities inherently or they can be acquired by simply raising the Pokemon.<br><br>In this RP, the more a Pokemon hones its attack skills, the more developed those attack skills become. <br><br>A Fire Pokemon may start out with Ember, which is a somewhat weak Fire attack skill. By mastering Ember and using it in battle enough, that Pokemon's fire abilities will develop naturally and they will learn abilities such as Flamethrower, which is essentially a more advanced form of Ember. Some Pokemon may hone their skills to such a degree that their Flamethrower improves further and they learn Fire Blast, an immensely strong and "advanced" version of the Pokemon's initial Fire attack skill. <br><br><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=137448.msg6148092#msg6148092">Quote from: Ember Star on 16-04-2012, 22:48:27</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Okay.

				Alright, my turn to ask a question of you lot.<br>*sees everybody panic*<br><br>Don't worry, this one has nothing to do with the mechanics of the game, I swear. Anyway, here's just a little something that will help you get a little more attached to your characters early on... GIVING THEM A THEME SONG! <br><br>Basically, if you had some sort of song/theme that would play whenever your character is doing something awesome, what would it be? Bonus points if it has lyrics and works well with the personality and goals if your character. Have fun, and try not to think too hard about it. I'll get started. Some of you that know where this song is from might roll your eyes, but shut up, I'm a huge fan of Crush 40.<br><br>open your heart lyrics (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbRPbMsVj4A#)

Half of it is an epic nostalgia trip, and the other half is undeniable proof that Sonic Team has finally hammered down the mechanics for how a 3D sonic should truly operate. I can safely say that this is the best and smoothest that modern sonic has ever handled in any game, including SA1 and 2.

				<strong>Question of the Day #2:</strong> (Btw, these questions really help me shape the story a bit more, so I very much appreciate all of your input.) In the anime and games, the Gym Leaders all belong to the same League, but they have very little rapport and contact with each other. It's like they're employed by the same organization, but don't speak to the other workers. In this RP, I will be giving the Gym Leaders somewhat "active" roles in the storyline. The Gym Leaders in this RP are going to be somewhat like the superhero mayors of their respective towns/cities. How do you feel about that idea? What was your favorite Kanto, Johto or Orange League gym leader? <br><br>When I was younger, I owned Pokemon Red and when Pokemon Gold/Silver were released, my parents got me Gold for my birthday and then Silver for Christmas. When Crystal came out, I bought that too. So I basically started the Johto adventures 3 times in 3 separate games. I only ended up completing Crystal, but tried to restart Gold and Silver several times after that to no avail. This meant I saw the Violet City Gym quite a lot and for that reason it just stuck with me. I'll never forget that Falkner gives the Zephyr Badge for as long as I live. I'll be taking that useless trivia fact to the grave.<br><br><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=137448.msg6151888#msg6151888">Quote from: SargentToughie on 17-04-2012, 19:42:47</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Alright, my turn to ask a question of you lot.<br>*sees everybody panic*<br><br>Don't worry, this one has nothing to do with the mechanics of the game, I swear.

				The gym leaders (and by extension, the Elite Four) always seemed like the ultimate authority in both the show and in the games.&nbsp; They may not have interacted with one another very often, but by virtue of being the "best" in their respective types they wielded a power that only a rare few can aspire to each generation.&nbsp; While this doesn't apply to Gen I and II, later generations revealed that the gym leaders actually scale themselves down to the challenger's threat level, to provide a challenge while still giving them the opportunity to succeed.&nbsp; Later on you can fight the leaders again, but with their <em>real</em> parties, which generally includes some really damn high level pokemon that are the apex of whatever type each leader specializes in.<br><br>I think my favorite gym leader would have to be Blaine.&nbsp; There's just something about an old coot living in the middle of a volcano thinking up trivia questions all day that strikes me as hilarious.

				Shihong, you're doing the Power Plant Event right? <br><br>And one thing I liked about the manga over the games/anime is that in the manga the Elite 4 + Gym Leaders were given almost government-like authority over certain situations. For the most part, they're all very professional and reliable so it makes sense that they'd be in positions of authority (even though IRL doesn't work like that.)&nbsp; :P

Which is why the SA series was so good, since the Chao Garden gave it so much replay value. I won't say that they are better than Generations since I haven't played it, but I'm not too sure it could top SA2.

				<div align="center"><strong>State of berries in the pokemon world</strong><br>(unless Acid disagrees with me)</div><br>Berries are a natural herb designed to help Pokemon recover from wounds in battles. Before the great pokemon crash, they were actually the primary ingredient in the Poke' mart's 'status cure' line of products.<br><br>Due to the extreme rarity of wild Pokemon, Berries, the fruit that Pokemon eat that can help them recover from harmful conditions during battle, have flourished and now can be found in extreme abundance. Back when Pokemon first started to hike in rarity, there was a gargantuan influx in demand for Berries when the Poke' corporations (Pokemon Center and Poke Mart) started to go under, so there was a time when they were poached and sold just as wildly as Pokemon, however, after about a year of Team Rocket's activity, their demand suddenly fell of a cliff as there were no longer as many trainers to buy them, so they were left alone.<br><br>Fortunately, fruit can be much more stubborn then Pokemon, so it was only a couple of months after that before they could be found all over the place, ignored by everybody except those interested in picking a few of them. For the few pokemon trainers that are left, this is an absolute blessing, as Berries are able to do the job of the old pokemon mart remedies of the older days. Sure, they don't act as quickly or effectively, they still take a few minutes to solve whatever problem their nature allows, but it's still better then being holed up for a night somewhere, while the trainer waits for his comrades to rest and recover. In terms of minor injuries and status effects (paralysis, burning, poison, etc), they're a godsend.<br>

There's also other ways of getting Pokemon. No changing because that would mean I have more revising to do and for clarity.&nbsp; P.S. this should go without saying, but when you guys do add more Pokemon to your team, you're free to trade them. So far only 2 people have Pokeballs, with a few more on the way when people get through the Events.

I don't count for 2 reasons.<br><br>A.) I'm the GM so my role is necessary.<br>B.) My role is insignificant in the RP.

Her mother worked as a medium, claiming to communicate with the spirits of deceased Pokemon when their former companions came to mourn. She had no real powers, but was a skilled cold reader and worked with a Ghastly as her partner. Reilly developed a fervent interest in death, bones, and all the general minutiae that kids going through a "morbid" phase gravitate to, but her interest was always more academic than dramatic. She devoured any book event tangentially related to her subjects of interest, be it philosophical treatises on the afterlife or heavy tomes describing how the skeletal and muscular systems interact. <br><br>When she was 15 a scandal broke out when numerous former customers came forward to try and out Reilly's mother as a fraud. As countless shady dealings and questionable affairs came to light, Reilly's father petitioned for full custody and won. She moved with him to Fuchsia city where the next few years were much more peaceful. Seeing that she was having a rough time integrating with her new Step Mother and half-siblings Reilly's father, who had made an excellent income producing and selling antidotes to various poisons before the Purge, decided to indulge his daughter's fascination and purchased a rehabilitated Zubat that had been poached and eventually discarded by team rocket when it didn't take well to training.<br><br>Reilly has no real interest in battles (in fact she finds them rather cruel and barbaric) but has accepted the fact that she'll probably be partaking in plenty of them in her journeys.&nbsp; <br><br>Reilly grew up relatively well adjusted, though she has mountains of trust issues and a highly skeptical nature due to the fact that she watched her mother constantly scam emotionally vulnerable people for much of her early life. She is very honest and has little tolerance for deceitful people, but respects others' privacy. Though her interest in the dark and creepy remains strong she's actually quite skittish when faced with a frightening scenario in real life; she's very nervous around Ghastly and its evolutions in general and completely terrified of her mother's in particular due to "terrify the ten-year-old" being one of his favorite hobbies when she was young. While she never grew out of her dark phase she did eventually learn to reign it in, at least a bit. She tends to unnerve people when she's not careful, but she can manage most social situations as long as she doesn't get distracted<br><br><strong>Starting Town:</strong> Fuchsia City<br><br><strong>Starting Pokemon:</strong> "Echo" - Zubat - Has a large nick in one ear and a black ribbon tied around his neck.

				*double post FTW*<br><br>Alright guys, Acid's gone for the day, and I've noticed a bit of a stagnation with the post speeds. To the best of my knowledge, it's because players are waiting for GM interaction of some kind before they proceed, am I right? As such, Anybody that's sitting at a quest start area and waiting to get their orders will have to wait for Acid, however, anybody still traveling on the road can expect a small random encounter to help spice things up a bit. And, since I'm taking care of Aya's quest line, she can expect a post regarding that later today as well.<br><br>I'd have preferred to wait for Lusa for the sake of progressing my own story at the same time, but I'm not gonna sit around and watch the RP lose members due to interest dropping off. It'll still be quite a while until I can seriously buckle down on the post though, since I have to go to work for about 6 more hours, then go home and re-read all of your posts to see who does and doesn't get a random encounter/ trainer battle. Anyway, everybody please enjoy your days, but expect a post regarding your progress before the end of the day.<br><br>To the best of my knowledge, these are all of the people that can expect me to post a response to their stories by COB today. If you want to be on this list but are not, please PM me and I'll get something worked up for you.<br>-Ember Star &amp; Demonlord<br>-Aya<br><br>... Wow, that list was a lot less daunting then I thought it would be. I'd also have been happy to do something for Shihong and Frank, but it looks like Shih is waiting for Acid to respond to his event (unless Shih is doing that on his own, at which point let me know and I'll work with you&nbsp; &gt;:)). Frank is also already at his quest starting point, too, otherwise I'd have posted with him too. If either of you two want an event, lemme know via PM, I'll be more then happy to throw a bone your way. Just a small head's up towards Frank, if you want an event, you're gonna have to edit your post to where you're just traveling on the route instead of having already arrived at Oak's lab, otherwise you're waiting on Acid. <br><br>That is all<br>-Toughie

				@Ember: Well Demon has a few more hours to get a post up about going into the forest before I just jump/cut to it and let him include it in his next post. He'll still have the chance to say what he wants, but I'm ready to start taking action and doing stuff. No real rush though, as I just said, you both will still be able to toss up a little blurb about entering the forest even if I do the jump to your encounter. In that regard, it might actually be better for you so that you don't have to stretch a post about 'they go into the forest' into 2 paragraphs.<br><br>We'll just have to see how it plays out, I guess.<br><br>@Shihong: As much as I would love to help you with that, the only one that Acid wanted me to over was Aya's quest, so I really can't do much.

				Alright guys, got another question for you all today, because why not?<br><br>Rather you love them or hate them, nobody can deny that Legendary Pokemon play a massive role in the Pokemon universe, being some of the most Powerful creatures in their respective games as well as integral parts of the story in later generations. So, I figured that it would be kinda fun to ask:<br><strong>What is your favorite Legendary Pokemon?</strong><br><br>For me, the answer to that question is obvious. Lugia.<br><br>King of the seas WITHOUT being a fish of some kind? Epic looking design? Key part of the only good Pokemon movie? Most memorable theme song ever?<br><br>Name something else that comes close.<br><br><strong>EDIT:</strong><br><br>And because I figured that you guys needed something pretty awesome today. If you're anything like me, you remembered this encounter for years to come, hoping that later Pokemon generations would be able to capture this single moment of pure epic. Easily, this battle in Gen II was my favorite moment in all of the entire Pokemon Franchise, with the final moments of Gen 5's story coming in second.<br>Pokemon G/S/C - Pokemon Trainer Red Theme (Metal Version)[HQ] (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DIdIe0gk3E#)

				I've never been a fan of Mewtwo myself. My older brothers and I watched Dragon Ball Z religiously when I was little and he reminded me of Frieza which just sort of kills the cool-factor...When I was little I loooooved Mew though and I was absurdly excited when I managed to catch Articuno after accidentally knocking out the other two birds, so they both have massive nostalgia appeal. I think in general the Legendaries tend to be over-designed and end up visually cluttered or trying-way-to-hard-to-be-cute.

				Interesting question... I don't think that there are any really 'useless' cities in any Pokemon region. Typically, every town has a purpose for why it's there, a reason. For instance, Cherrygrove exists so that newbie players can have a healing/shopping station in between Mr. Pokemon's house and home, and it also serves as the 'tutorial' town. Meanwhile, Lavender town did massive things for the flavor of the Kanto region. It gave birth to so much creepypasta that it's probably the most influential town in any Pokemon game, outside of the game itself.<br><br>There are no useless towns in Pokemon, IMO.<br><br>Oh, and speaking of Pokemon Creepypasta<br>http://creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Pok%C3%A9Mon (http://creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Pok%C3%A9Mon)

Maybe if Vanilluxe was a Stay-Puft marshmallow, people would be more afraid of it in battle, but unfortunately, it's stuck melting in the sun. Joking aside, Vanilluxe does have a few things going for it. Its base 110 Special Attack ranks among the top fifteen of NU, and it has passable bulk to boot. However, that's about where the list of Vanilluxe's perks ends. It has an extremely shallow movepool, and its Speed stat falls just short of base 80, the gold standard for NU. Finally, the cherry on top is the fact that Ice is unequivocally the worst defensive typing, so realistically, Vanilluxe has a hard time actually taking advantage of its bulk."<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; -<em>Smogon University</em><br><br>And for those of you who don't know, NU is the lowest tier in competitive play, so pretty much anywhere else it can be countered pretty easily. <br><br>Just saying...

				I love how Sawk is Tyler Durden in that picture, too.<br><br>Oh, and Mienshao totally has type advantage over Scrafty... I guess it depends on how much Moxie Scrafty has going for him to see who wins.

				Lol. Yeah I looked up type paring and saw that they were super efficient. I wondered if you did that on accident or to make it quick and easy. And whatever you want to do is fine.

				That's actually a philosophy that I've taken up in the once in a blue moon event that I actually decide to full on GM a game. I'll wait a few days to see who replies, and if somebody doesn't, then we'll just move on. If they come back, I'll try my hardest to catch them up and get them back&nbsp; up to speed (this would be INCREDIBLY easy in this RP, where every character is just sorta doing their own thing).

				It's not a bad rule to go by. It not only keeps the RP moving, but also weeds out the RPers that are inconsistent and gives the opportunity to recruit RPers that are more frequent in their posting. It's kind of ruthless, but it works...<br><br>Don't get me wrong; I'm not trying to bash on RPers that have a lot of RL problems and have a hard time posting.

				I agree. I mean, it might not be entirely fair to those who are having issues, but which would you rather have? A few people left behind that can be caught up later if they actually care about the RP and want to keep playing? Or waiting around for everybody to the point where the whole thing sinks?<br><br>If somebody is having IRL issues and comes back to the RP later, I make it a point to do everything in my power as GM to get them back up to speed, and if not, then obviously they're not worth it.

				Actually, there were a few things that I kinda had in mind. For instance, my friend is going to make his character be a former team plasma member that came to Kanto in order to get a new lease on life. I'm not saying that we should involve gens 3-5 Pokemon, but using techniques from those generations would be extremely helpful, and it's kinda silly to just pretend that they don't exist IMO.

				If Acid only made that rule because he didn't feel comfortable GMing the generations he didn't play, then it doesn't make much sense to keep it when there are GMs who have played them.

Arriving from a place so far from Kanto and Johto that events from the one are hardly ever heard about it in the two, he came in hopes of truly studying Pokemon in the position of someone who's not a trainer or anyone who could bring harm to them if he chose, but rather a professor, studying them from afar and learning more of their true nature. Though he is intelligent, he wonders if he is enough so to earn an apprenticeship under the legendary Professor Oak, as is his aspiration, but even reaching Pallet Town may be more complicated than he would hope, as rescuing a poor little Grass pokemon from a cruel taskmaster with a red R on his shirt has left him an unwilling trainer once again...<br><br>Beyond all that, Cedric is has learned to be gentle when need be, but has grown a new passion for defending Pokemon from those who would mistreat them or force them away from their trainers and will generally have no trouble using force against such people. It's in this situation that people will see the usually calm and withdrawn man start to gain a bit of a temper.<br><strong>Starting Town:</strong> Celadon City<br><strong>Starting Pokemon:</strong> Oddish (Female, "Priscilla")<br></div></div><br>I'll stick with the Oddish for now, since it's a good little Pokemon.

To be honest, the fact that only 2 people have dropped out officially is amazing to me. Please don't punish those of us that have stuck around because of something that happens in every single Elliquiy RP I've ever been a part of.

				Starting off with early stage gym leaders would also give us an excuse for them to be walking around and exploring instead of just sticking to one city, since their Gyms probably haven't been fully built yet.

				How about giving people the option to, if they want, write their own movesets for any fakemon they would use and their evolutions, then have them approved? That way if they feel up to it, they can choose the moves they would most like to see from that pokemon. (This being an idea from someone who probably won't end up using any of them since they would unbalance my team.)

				Should we say we can start with two each, or <em>maaaaaaybe</em> two with one being a first evolution (i.e. I would start with a Gloom and a Turtwig)? I don't know, it seems to me like it would make sense for a Gym leader to have more than one pokemon even to start with, and I guess these RPs don't <em>always</em> have to start with everyone at level one (figuratively speaking).

				Yeah, that sounds good to me too. Our characters <em>are</em> gym leaders after all.<br><br>So how are events gonna work?

				That really depends on if everyone is really into customizing and designing their own Gyms, as well as if the GMs are willing to actually plan and figure out how paying into and customizing a Gym would work progressively. Not to mention whether it will give some tangible reward besides "oh, look how nice my Gym is."<br><br>It would probably be less complicated to just make that a story aspect where the characters are doing these Events specifically so they can pay for their Gyms, unless you would rather do it as a system thing.

				So to bring back into light a couple of topics that fell off:<br><br>1. The Elite Four. I'm assuming these will just be GM-controlled trainers, or will they not have been formed just yet? It would probably be pretty unfair to have them be actual players, since that would leave three or four of us a tier below the rest, unless we go with the Elite Eight or something.<br><br>2. Are we allowing just two stage one pokemon for each trainer at the start (i.e. Turtwig and Oddish), or one stage one and one stage two/first evolution (i.e. Turtwig and Gloom)? Also, if we allow two pokemon period, that won't affect the most glorious chart too much, will it?

				Well, if you think about it, Brock just had a Geodude and an Onyx in the first set of games, so it's not like Gym Leaders can't start off with a slightly weaksauce team, and it makes sense in this setting for obvious reasons. Though I do agree that they would probably be a tad bit stronger than your average Joe's pokemon, but that's kind of given since they're the main characters here. And I'm assuming that the first evolution form rule (not second, since that would be stage three :P) would only apply to three pokemon families, so no one just starts off with an Arcanine or a Scizor or whatever?<br><br>Whatever, I think the waiting is having me put too much thought into this.

				@Carlissa: that's why I said to limit everybody to only <strong>one</strong> shiny, and only if they actually want one. As for Sparkles, well my character Elektra specializes in rare/unusual Pokemon, so it makes since that she would have an shiny. I'll be perfectly happy to have Sparkles be an "normal" shiny though if people don't like the idea idea of an shiny being an untrue-to-the-game/anime color. But I figure if we're using Fakemon, weirdly colored Pokemon might be fun too. This is an whole new region after all. Maybe there's something in the water or berries that produces unusually colored Pokemon. That would be an perfect excuse for Elektra to be here.<br><br>@Event talk: I think we should allow everybody who has an idea for an event to submit their ideas and then have a vote on which of those ideas to use first.

				I always just assumed that was just a case of the more remote/less extreme areas didn't have as many strong challengers or good training spots, so Brock and Misty's pokemon just never got as strong as ones like Sabrina's (as she was in the center of the largest city of challengers), Blaine's (his were trained in a more extreme environment), or Giovanni's (either fought a lot during all his traveling, or they were stolen).<br><br>Eventually they did get stronger, as we saw with their Gold/Silver teams, but it took them a bit longer to get to that level.

				I don't know, I think it defeats the purpose if they scale down their power for weaker opponents. For one, it means a guy with a level three Pidgey could get through the league with the same difficulty as a guy with all level 99 beasts.

				Well the scaling up would be done in terms of gym badges, so if you have no gym badges, you fight the stupid newbie team. As you get more gym badges, the gym leaders progressively use stronger and stronger teams. This stops the guy who goes in with a level three Pidgey from taking on the elite 4.

				This is why I prefer the more romanticized version of Gym Leaders that the anime conveys, where they have one set of Pokemon they trust and adore, just like other trainers, and they're legitimately fighting their hardest to beat you. If we say that they have regulated "levels" of teams that they have to use against certain trainers, it all becomes very bureaucratic and official, which kills the fun.

				Since you don't have most of the towns designed yet, would it be reasonable for players to propose designs for the ones their character will be Gym Leader of? Since towns and Gyms tend to have similar themes around them (usually, anyway), I figure that would be easier, unless you want to consult everyone on their characters and gyms so you can place everything where you need to on the map.

				I didn't necessarily mean pictures. I just meant designing the overall theme of the town to fit with your character's personality and Gym theme, like Mistralton being the main airport place and having a Gym Leader who uses Flying types and is a pilot.

				so things have gotten quiet again, I just wanted to let you know that Rev has given me another couple of really good ideas for what we can do with the plot/setting of the new region. Any input from you guys on what we should do?<br><br>Oh, and here's the map of the 'original' region as it stands right now. The idea was that the Pokemon League would be at the center of the region due to the large population, and for an increased presence in the area. If this doesn't sit well with you, please say so. If enough people disapprove of the idea that the Pokemon League should be closer and more locally seen, rather then a distant goal not seen until the last leg of a journey, I'll change it.<br><br>(http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/8376/pokemonregion.png)

				Toughie already knows this, but for general discussion, I'm against the idea of the Pokemon League being at the center of everything for the most part. In every Pokemon generation I've played (4 is the only one I haven't), the League isn't just difficult to gain access to, you aren't even allowed to see it until you've earned your badges and gone past the badge check gates, not to mention Victory Road. It's also always been on the far edge of the map, away from pretty much everything. I always thought the isolated and hidden nature of it added a lot to the mistake, and there doesn't seem to much point to putting it right in the middle of a crowded area if no one is supposed to be able to reach it without proving great strength.<br><br>Of course, I can see the other side of things, especially since that's pretty much how it was in the anime. But in the way the games play it, I think getting to lay eyes on it is a privilege you have to earn. It's a very prestigious setting where only the greatest trainers in the world can travel, not a mere stadium. That's my two cents, anyway.<br><br>Then again, doing it the other way would require we modify the above masterpiece, so it's probably not worth it.

				Think about it. If the Gym Leaders are essentially the mayors, or at least the protectors of their towns. It would make sense that the League Champion would b kinda like the President, the Elite four, well you get the idea. So if the League is essentially government, or something like a National Guard in the PokeWorld, it would make sense that the most powerful in government or national guard would put themselves at the center of everything.

				Er...I don't think the Elite Four and Champion are the leaders of the Pokemon world's government any more than Michael Jordan is the leader of ours. Sure, a lot of world revolves around pokemon, and training them is the main focus of the games and show, but that <em>doesn't</em> mean the League is literally the government. That's why we have Officer Jennies running around, with Gym Leaders just being good Samaritans who help out with local issues, and why Red was free to go stand around inside a mountain instead of taking office.

				I think that stemmed mostly from when some people thought the formation of the Pokemon League would be the actual settling of the region, when in this case the cities and governments have been established since before this particular Elite Four showed up and set up a new League. Though back on the original topic, I guess I don't mind so much as long as the League is actually sufficiently far enough away from everything that it's not just a tourist attraction. I guess it depends, though; in Unova, you can tell those guys are pretty much just off in their own little world past Victory Road, but in Kanto, they seem a little more accessible and outgoing.

				Damn! I was gonna pick the up most one so I could be higher than all you bitches! Lol, jk. I'm tempted to take the one in the middle of the ocean, but I don't think being that isolated suits Elektra who's a researcher ad much as a trainer. I like the idea of being near both a mountain and a forest. So I'll take the one in the upper right closes to the triangle, I think.

				That would be the upper-left, but whatever.<br><br>Since Cedric is a research and aspiring Pokemon Professor as well, I wanted him somewhere kind of surrounded by wilderness, too, so I was actually tempted to take that small town on the left there.

				Eh. Left, right, whatever. I was tired last night. Take whichever you want and I'll take the other. Elektra's specialty is rare Pokemon, shines, legendaries, rare types. Which, BTW, I was wondering if a Galceon would count as my second stage Pokemon? I've got a whole story lined up about how she rescued it, and she probably wouldn't have had it that long, which means, it probably won't be entirely obedient during the start of the game.
