If Pokemon Was Real...

[PBK]

...what would you do? Who would you be, seriously?

If I had to look at myself and my family situation, I can tell you that there's no way that my parents would let me go off on my own at the age of ten...or fourteen...or any other age that the common RP charrie goes to the lab to get their first pokemon. I s'pose that if I really wanted to become a pokemon trainer, I would be able to start when I was eighteen.

But, knowing me in real life...that probably wouldn't happen either. xD I'm not fond of dogs (they're smelly.) And I imagine many of the larger pokemon would be rather smelly as well. I'm more of a cat person. So, I suppose that I would have a couple of pets- maybe an Eevee or Meowth or Skitty. And also, feeding them! For goodness sakes! I don't think I could afford to feed a larger pokemon!

As much as I'd like to own a pokemon like Pidgeot, I'm allergic to birds (perhaps, the single part of Marco's personality that is based off of myself...though he's allergic to everything, so whatev.)

So, I would probably end up either:
a) owning one of those flower shops and training grass pokemon. Which is odd. I've never really been fond of the type for game-play or role-play, but I think in real life, that would be the way for me to grow. Their ability to instantly grow and such...just astounding. Oh. And there would be bugs in my garden...lots of them. Yes. I love bugs. They're so much fun to catch and such.

b) owning a gallery. Yes. And I would have an Espeon... And we would paint and do stuff together.

c) be a pokemon contest...ribbon collector. Though I really don't like the concept much, I don't exactly see me fighting with pokemon...I'd train them, but not for battle unless absolutely neccessary.

So, what about you?

I'd start an Illegal Underground Pokemon Battle Dome, and makes tons of money with my Charizard.

_{I would travel across the country with mu Lucario and crush evil..... ah screw it. I would train a super awesome team, gather followers, and rule the world. Yes, very evil, i know. I couldn't help it.}

I would become a Trainer. It'd be fun, and I would get a Geek-like happiness from seeing them fight. But setting Pokemon in the real world means a number of bad things as well:

PETA gets involved. Governments ban Pokemon battles as a form of animal cruelty, and training them becomes illegal.

Also, the governments would get incredibly worried when they discover some of the stronger ones are in the building or even city busting range of power. Terrorists getting hold of Legendary Pokemon? It'd be chaos.

Some of the smarter Pokemon would possibly cause chaos in the world. Can you imagine a war on Pokemon? Considering Mewtwo could solo half an army by himself, it wouldn't go very well.

Or maybe I'm thinking to hard about this, heh.

[PBK]

Yes. PETA would have a cow...or a miltank, as it would be.

I would recreate my own army of Mewtwos and teleport PETA to Mars. HAH!

[Radio]

Hey, PBK! Haven't seen you in a while!

Anyways, I think that I would probably freak out if there were ~*actual*~ pokemon on the planet. Like Hamboy said, it would probably be a lot different than in the games. That'd actually be quite an interesting roleplay, if you think about it.

Personally though, I would probably never be a trainer. My parents would want me to finish school first, and then I would probably end up going to college, and at that point, I would need a job to support myself. Being a pokemon trainer would probably be the equivalent of being a hobo with pets. Think about it! You really don't have any definite living area, and being a pokemon trainer doesn't exactly pay a ton. And think about what you do in the games. Rock climbing, traveling in caves, flying, being out on open seas. 9_9 It'd be much too stressful.

I would probably be a nerd and still have a team of pokemon though, even though I wasn't in any league. And train them on weekends. Or maybe I would just play a simulation game. I would have a Rattata, and a Drifloon. I would want a Wailord, but it would be too big to keep.

[PBK]

Yeah...I have to take a break every few months...just for my own sanity and such.

I like your assessment. xD. My parents would probably still want me to go to college as well. Scratch the "probably" part.

And yes. It would make an interesting role-play. Perhaps we should do that. xDDDDDDD Up 'til now, we've accepted Gamefreak's reality...what if we started playing in our own?

[Tyson returnz with storiez]

I'd catch a Vulpix and let it use Fire spin to attack Trailer Parks.

[Radio]

YES. A real-world pokemon roleplay would be HARDCORE. Underground fighting rings! Police! Bans on pokeballs and all trainer related items! The pokemon shows/games considered propoganda! Runaways! Hobos! Computer Programmers! Terrorists!

I think I've just convinced myself into making it.

[PBK]

Go and make it swiftly! If not a forum, at least another thread on this board.

[Hamboy]

I'd love to join that RP.

[Aura Guardian Ash Lightning]

<sub>Agreed. Make it, and it would be one of the best things ever..... I CALL NISH's PERSONAL MONKEY SLAVE!

Haha. I win. (does happy dance.)</sub>

[/sub]

[Radio]

Um, it looks really ugly and blank right now, but! I have a forum thingy. Sign up for it while I'm working on getting everything together. D: I never ever ever thought I would have a forum. OH WELL. THINGS HAPPEN. PEOPLE ACCIDENTLY HAVE CHILDREN, WHY CAN'T I HAVE A FORUM?

um, so now I pimp myself here?

[PBK]

*legasp*

unsolicited advertising...

xDDDDDDD

And now I go to see it.

[Nishrocks]

I could help you make it if you'd like Radio!
It would actually be like quite cool.
We could have continents, unto countries, unto cities. It'd be HUGE!
Also, thanks for volunteering, Ash. i appreciate it.

[Radio]

Actually! I was thinking about having a region first. It would've been the one hit with the first pokemon terrorist attack, so it's the one that really been affected. The focus would be on one of the cities, and then we would have the other parts of the region too. Like, highways and farms and stuff. Eventually we could expand though.

ETA: Also, I'm sorry PBK! I know! Unsolicited Avertising! I'm sorry to bring my fellows at Kantex to shame. /weep

[Nishrocks]

So it's a made up world with real life rules?
So we need a name that sounds real.

Um... Neroville?

[Radio]

"I CALL NISH's PERSONAL MONKEY SLAVE!"

LOLWUT. Ahahaha, nice edit Nish. And I dunno. I'm poking around my stories to find interesting places and buildings and stuff.

...

So far I've found an Office & Supply Building and an apartment with an extra floor. ANYONE WANT TO SUGGEST INTERESTING PLACES IN A CITY? tourist traps, parks, shops, etc.

[Hamboy]

Construction sites? Some large ones give an excuse to put rock Pokemon in a city environment.

Parks, too. Bugs and Grass types galore.

A shopping mall. Chaos can be caused in those.

A sports centre.

Those are just a few ideas in my head right now.

[Nishrocks]

I think Radioville is fitting. It even sounds Real. I'll make a map of Radio Ville, and the Island Country of Arell
(Get it? RL? Real-Life?)

((watch this space))

[Radio]

Unfortunately, everyone in the region's freaked out by pokemon (aside from a few, very illegal trainers), so really, any place that has/is using pokemon is generally deemed unsafe and illegal to pass through. D: And construction pokemon would be put in cages at the end of the day, or transported to some sort of containment area.

But then again, more places for excitement, so I guess it works.

EDIT: Nish, have you seen the forum yet? andelliregion.proboards59.com/index.cgi It's got a regional name already, unfortunately. And I think the city's going to be called New Ceraton? I dunno. Radioville sounds cool to though.

[Nishrocks]

How did I miss that?
Anyway, I'm trying to activate an account.
If you want, I could create a kickass skin.

[/center]

[Radio]

omg yes. Skins are definitely what we need. The fugly proboards given one is quite horrible.

[Nishrocks]

Well, let me finish activation, then I will beg for some form of staff position ((boss)) and then, kikass skin awaY!

Should I begin working on the Rules and Stuff?
I'll do it anyway...
