united_ooc | MOD STUFF STILL EXISTS GUYS

It's talking time!

EVENT, PART TWO
It doesn't look like we'll be able to finish up by the first of November - and that's all my fault. (Also, most likely, my portfolio and stuff got me into that school. I'm so glad! c:) However, I will backtag and stuff for this event, if you so wish.

So! The second part is starting on November 1st. When your character awakens on that day, they'll be outside the ruins - oh, and they'll be a Pokemon [~~This time, without crippling nightmares and the threat of total amnesia and also god Cilan you just get into the most trouble more then Dragonite and she always rushes into trouble and stuff--~~]. Of your choosing, of course. Except for legendaries.

Yes, if your character can learn Fly, they can fly. Even if it's event-only. Same with Surf, or any other of those moves. [Also, if your trainer has a flier - well, if they trust your trainer, during this event, you will be able to fly around on them. After all, Pokemon don't need badges!]

For those apped in and accepted during this event, they will arrive as a Pokemon. Instead of appearing in the Entralink, you can decide if they appear in Nimbasa or Nuvema.

However, the communication devices will still be usable, by Pokemon hands. So yeah, you can still use the network.

This event will run about two weeks. Though the characters don't know that - when they return to normal, around the 14th-15th, however, they may get a glimpse of a certain god-llama... if only for a second.

AND THAT'S THE EVENT. I'm so sorry it's dragged on so much - December will have a simpler event, with something I'm sure you'll like - even if it's not as plot-important.

BOY HOWDY THIS IS AN EDIT:
Also, on November 1st - you'll also all have an extra Pokeball. What's in it? A baby shiny Spinarak. Do with it what you wish. [It can have an egg move if you wish, too.]

NEW LAYOUT
For the new year, I'm planning on a new layout. But this is where I need your help - what Pokemon should we use as a mascot, so I can create a theme with it? I'm thinking one of the starters at the moment, for a cute layout.
I'm also thinking of adding some more pages - like, a seperate page for the badges, so I may fit in more information about each city. After all, I love worldbuilding, especially trying to fit the anime and game worlds together in a nice way.
Are there any pages you think could do with being made? I'm also thinking of an archive for previous events/the storyline, as well as previous swarms.

CANON UPDATES
They will be possible after this event. More details when said event ends.

SPEAKING OF SWARMS...
The November Swarms!
1-15th: What do you care you're a Pokemon - okay, around the region, there's an abundance of bugs. BUGS EVERYWHERE-- however, they're all newly-hatched ones. Seems they've just been born. So, you'll find bugs which are around level 1-5. But they're everywhere.
Also, there's a few Deerling in the areas around Nimbasa. I mean, the non-desert area. They're near the levels of the Pokemon there.

16-30th: There's still quite a few Deerling, now having spread around more. But there's also Shroomish with them, as well as the GRASS STARTERS. All of them. Just standing around, derping in areas they shouldn't be.

BOY HOWDY THOSE LJ ISSUES
Weren't they something? I still miss LJ-Login. Sob.

Also oh my this font for HTML-only editing. Gasp it is pretty bad.

OKAY BYE.

PFFF SPEAK FOR YOURSELF Miror B. is totally going to make it to the fifth floor by Halloween. MAYBE.

SUPER CONGRATS for your portfolio and things!

I'm excited for Pokemon times, I thought very hard about what Pokemon my characters will be, haha.

A new layout! That will be fun. A starter would be cute, but I guess we could always go with Zekrom/Reshiram? Since we're so very Black/White. I'd like more info about the cities! And a previous things archive would be good, too.

WELL, I'M OFF TO CONTINUE POSTING AND STUFF. TO HELP YOU WITH THAT GOAL.

And thanks! |D

...To be honest, I'm flip-flopping with Emmet. Clefable or Emolga? IDK YET.....

I tried to think of something with Reshiram and Zekrom, but it lacked colour, and I like using colour in layouts.

YAY MIROR B. MIGHT ACTUALLY BE SUCCESSFUL AT SOMETHING FOR ONCE IN HIS LIFE
Until he is turned into a Spinda. WHICH HE IS GOING TO BE.

Oh gosh IDEK for Emmet! I am still lol'ing over the idea of Kabutops!Emmet, though, that was a brilliant idea. Emolga would be so cuuute! And Clefable asdfja;sdklfj with the Subway Boss hat, oh jeez.

I really like the Musketeer trio thing you have in the _tests comm that I peeked at! Just so long as Keldeo shows up somewhere because Keldeo is my fave Gen V legendary, not even kidding.

QUESTIONS THOUGH
What are Canon Updates? ~~i r noob~~ AND when our characters are Pokemon, what moves can they know/what is their "level"?

FOR ONLY A TINY BIT. AND THEN FAILURE. IS THAT NOT THE LIFE OF A VILLIAN?

I'm only thinking Emolga because shipping. And he'd still have the hat. Also gliding. [And Emmet is gonna be covered in Joltik really soon anyhow.] :3

Pfft, in my Random Black, I did get a Keldeo. [I named them Sock.] They were awesome. I may or may not use them - there's no official art for Keldeo, so I'm a little worried about that... maybe I'll have to draw for myself.

Canon updates are basically - say you've got a character, and you applied for them being before canon started. Stuff happens to them, but then you decide 'hey, it'd be awesome if i played them from after canon now.'
Canon updates mean that you can 'update' your character to being from after canon, but they still have their roleplay memories. If that's not confusing.
Also, you can decide their own levels and moves. All by yourself. (However, I'm gonna limit it to being under level 50.)

OH BUGS HUH WELP TIME TO GRAB SOME JOLTIK AND BE THE FIERCEST TRAINERS.

Hahaha so I say but I only plan that for Estelle I guess as Stocking probably doesn't want any bugs.

Oh gosh we get to be any non-legendary Pokemon I WISH YOU JUST CHOSE ESTELLE'S FOR ME OR IDK. Quick guys what is the princess pokemon oops look at that Lilligant over there.

NOT SURE IF WANT SMUGLEAF. Oh what the hey. Smugleaf is the best addition to any team.

For a mascot I was originally going to suggest ALL SPACE RELATED POKEMON IN A SPACE BACKGROUND TO REPRESENT UNIVERSES I guess. :P

Or maybe Palkia? He seems pretty dimensional oriented haha ALSO ALPACA ARCEUS APPEARED, WHAT WILL YOU DO? FIGHT, RUN, PACK, CHANGE BACK INTO A HUMAN?

BY THE END OF THIS, EMMET WILL BE A SWARM OF JOLTIK. |D

But Stocking - now you've got a Spinarak because of weird LJ shit! ohdear

IDEK EITHER. I'M STILL DECIDING EMMET. SPOILERS, BUT MY OTHERS ARE PLANNED TO BE DAGRONS. i mean, iris is an axew, dragonite is obvious, and planned app is a deino. AND EMMET IS NOT GOING TO BE.

...Why do I feel like there will be a lot more Smugleaf now? I mean, Emmet is gonna get all the Pokemons. All of them. Well, at least a lot of bugs and the grass starters too. ALL OF THEM.

Hmmm... I dunno if I wanna use non-Unovan Pokemon on our banners.

Oh maybe Spinarak are in order for Stocking herpderp.

ALSO KURURU HOW AM I GOING TO MAKE COOL TRANSITIONS TO LOWER FLOORS IF NOTHING IS MODDED GAWRSH.

Also imagining Emmet made out of Joltik is hilarious "WE ARE ONE, ASSIMILATE, ASSIMILATE, YUP"

Inb4 I just decide to drag Toph down two floors.

Crippling nightmares
omg remember when
good times skldfjksjdfjsdkflsd

Congrats on your portfolio, bro! I SO PROUD OF YOU C'MERE AND LET ME HOLD YOU ;u;

AND AW SHIT BOOOIIIIIIII the Doctor's gonna enjoy his new flight ability oh man. ~~And might attempt eating those Bug Pokemon because come on that's just nature, isn't it?~~ And N will enjoy his one glimpse of GOD LLAMA AAAHHHHH HALLELUJAH.
Thinking of having Demyx get a Kricketot, Doctah get a Turtwig and/or an Anorith, aaand N get a Snivy. ;u;

As for the theme thing... I like the starters idea; maybe you can include all three + Victini somehow? Since they're A) the first Pokemon in the Unova Pokedex, and B) represent both new beginnings and certain victory? ;u;

EXACTLY. YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THAT. idk if cilan needs to worry. he's always worried. spoilers: the thin weak meowth i gave dragonite to take care of [which i really need to make a post about sometime huh] is kind-of based on my cilan. kind of.

...also

i kind of want dragonite to get the elemental monkeys so they can annoy her
because
good times

/IS HELD
/IS HAPPEH
/:D

...yes :D is an action. Just ask Emmet.

DRAGONITE WILL ENCOURAGE THE EATING OF STUFF. She is gonna be flying all around the region, hopefully carrying around her pals. :p

Pfft, N~~atural~~ needs his natural smugface. :p [And now with the shiny event because even the mod account got a spider, Emmet is going to have a whole lot of Joltik babbies with him. Forever. CATCHING AND BREEDING AND PLANNING TO TAKE BACK HIS ROLE--] and iris will get a snivy because she is gonna get all the unova starters. and dragonite? most likely nothing. [As for bitty!Grimsley who will be apped very soon, he may catch a non-Dark-type, so he may be getting something. o-oh and also i lost razes voice, so i'm dropping him next activity check. sobbu.]

That's what I was kind of thinking too - spoilers, but here's a journal I made for testing this shit out, when I was also considering other things.

united_tests!!

Sssshhhh, Cilan, only good dreams now.....

and oh my gosh
you could
do it

/PAT, PAT

And oh god Dragonite YOU SHOULD NOT ENCOURAGE THAT.
And N might have a miniature panic attack at first because oh wow what is all this power he suddenly has aahhhh can't handle it SO DRAGONITE BETTER BE AROUND A BIT FOR THAT.

Catch ALL the Joltiks!!
And oh man, Raz. ;A; BUT WE ONLY SPOKE ONCE AAAWWW

And AH THEY ALL LOOK SO AWESOME ;u;
I love the theme with the starters!

Paprika is the Kecleon for maximum AU brownie points. It's her.
