Forums » Ideas and Stories » New Pokemon RP Ideas

Hah, I had completely forgotten this group existed for awhile. Apologies for the inactivity with this group lately, and in hopes of making up for it, how about we get some new RPs going, yeah? Here's a few plots I've managed to scramble up and hopefully it'll interest some of y'all.

The Twinleaf Festival:
The festival is an exciting event that brings a bit of color to the otherwise quiet Twinleaf Town. It draws visitors from all over Sinnoh, with many coming to sample the foods and goodies that are offered, others come to take part in the Festival Battle Challenge, hoping for the chance to battle against one of Sinnoh's very own Battle Frontier Brains. This year was no different, among these visitors were Cyrus and Celia (under the Wentz siblings tab on page 2), the siblings were fans of festivals and even before arriving in Sinnoh, they would often take part in them whenever the opportunity presented itself, and this Twinleaf Festival would've been the first one they'd be able to take part of and they weren't going to pass it up. Sometime along the way, they had run into your character. What will happen from there?

With this plot, I'm simply looking for something light hearted and playful as they spend time at the festival, eating snacks, checking out the various stalls and attractions, and possibly taking on the Festival Battle Challenge. We could always continue our RP after the festival by simply traveling around the Sinnoh region. Romance is a possibility, though it's only possible with Cyrus. Celia is too young for romance, so don't even try to get with her.

A Spooky Adventure:
In Hearthome City, there is a small haunted house owned by a rather quirky Lars (Under the Gastly Trainer tab on page 2) and his team, which happens to consist of nothing more than six Gastly. The haunted house is cheesier than anything, heavily relying on pranks and mischief caused by his otherwise spooky team. In an effort to improve the haunted house, he's begun looking for some help to make it seem spookier, he's hired your character to aid in his endeavor. Will you two be successful in creating an actual haunted house or will it remain as the cheesy attraction?

With this plot, I'm simply looking for someone to help Lars in redeveloping his haunted house, whether it's to make a bit more spooky or to make even cheesier than before. I'm looking for cheesy humor, cheesy horror (about as horrific as you could get for a Pokemon game), and a fun friendship (or romance) on the side. This would likely be more of a fun, slice of life type RP, just with Pokemon.

Team Plasma Rises Again!
It's been two years since the Neo Team Plasma had been defeated by Wyatt (Under the Champion of Unova tab on page three), but it seemed they weren't done quite yet. Ghestis has risen once again, though he no longer has access to Reshiram, Zekrom, or Kyurem, there were still plenty of Pokemon that could be used to take over Unova. Of course, he plans to use the ancient Genesect, a Pokemon that was feared as one of the strongest hunters back when it still roamed the Pokemon world, after finding a number of fossils, him and the few remaining people that were loyal to Team Plasma joined him and they managed to resurrect the Genesect, and they've once again, begun their attack on Unova in their quest to rule the region. Your character and Wyatt decide to team up in order to combat this new threat. Will you two be able to stop Team Plasma once again or will they finally succeed in their goal?

With this plot, I'm simply looking for someone (or multiple people) to join me in a long term RP that'll follow our trainers as they take on Team Plasma. This will likely be filled with combat and will likely be far more dramatic in comparison to the other plots, especially considering Ghestis is likely to be a bit more insane than he was back in B2/W2. I'd like to develop a bit of a friendship between our characters, though due to what's at stake, a romance is unlikely.

The Ultra Beasts

Thanks to Team Aether's decision to unleash the Ultra Beasts onto Alola, they've begun unintentionally wreaking havoc in a world they simply don't understand. Most trainers see the beasts as a threat to Alola and they believe they need to be destroyed, though not all believe this. Jonah (under the 1st Champion of Alola tab on page 3) is one of these trainers, he believes that the Ultra Beasts aren't intentionally hurting people, they're just scared and confused. He wants to help the Ultra Beasts and he wishes to change how people view them, he's even caught one of them himself, his beloved Nihilego being one of his most important Pokemon. Eventually, he meets your character, which they could be among those hunting the Ultra Beasts or you could have a similar mindset to Jonah. Will you two successfully protect the Ultra Beasts or will you create more problems?

With this plot, I'm looking for someone to join me in tackling the Ultra Beast crisis, whether your trainer is against them, neutral, or for them is up to you. The latter would make it easiest to get along with Jonah. I'd like for either a rivalry or friendship to form with Jonah, though I'd also love for a romance to form with him as well. If we manage to solve the Ultra Beast crisis, I'd be interested in setting up a small Pokemon Sanctuary with our characters where this'll transition into a gentle, slice of life type RP.

Crossovers
Setting 1: Far future
Think of something like Star Wars (without the wars, of course) or Star Trek. The portal for some reason led to a super futuristic ship on a mission to unravel the mysteries of outer space, only to find an intruder suddenly appears on their ship. Rather than finding some alien intruder, they find a kid with an odd looking creature. What will they do? Will they obliterate the kid, take him as prisoner, or will something else happen?
Setting 2: Medieval England
This time, the portal leads to the times when mysterious occurrences were believed to be acts of God, the work of the devil, many of those found with these magical acts were hailed as heroes or demons, it was up to the people to decide. How will you react to a person that suddenly appears out of nowhere?
Setting 3: Feudal Japan
Rather than landing in the west, the portal brings the trainer to the eastern world, a land full of a rich culture and colorful history. Miracles and curses were common beliefs. Will you view the trainer as a blessing, a curse, or something else?
Setting 4: Modern Day Earth
This time, the trainer lands in [your character's location] on present day Earth. Happy that the technology between the two worlds has very little difference, he attempts to adjust to life here, though he hadn't realized Pokémon was a global phenomenon here. Eventually, he runs into your character. What will happen from here?
Setting 5: Your Choice
Not interested in the ideas above? That's okay, I'm willing to play other settings. Whether its Tamriel, Amestris, the Mushroom Kingdom, or a custom location, let's see what we can do. I want both of our characters to be equally confused as to whatever the hell is going on.

Plenty of crazy things could follow the meeting of our characters and I'm open to anything, except for the death of my trainer or his Pokémon. Want to do some crazy, crossworldly romance (I'd actually really love this to happen)? Hit me up. Want to start a new adventure? I'm particularly interested in using Jonathon (under the Champion of Sinnoh tab on page 3) for this RP, of course the others are available.

New Beginnings
New Beginnings: Kanto

Take a trip back to when there were only 151 Pokemon, back when the villains were just a bunch of gangsters. We'll be exploring the nostalgia filled region of Kanto. As expected, this'll play similarly to the Red, Blue, and Yellow games. So, I'd ideally like 2-3 people to join me for this one, with each of us claiming one of the available starters (Bulbasaur, Squirtle, Charmander, and Pikachu) as we travel about Kanto, taking on the gyms, Team Rocket, and filling up the Pokedex. We could also include some of the stuff introduced in FireRed and LeafGreen, like the contests and Battle Frontier if that's more your style.

I'll be using Louis, he's a simple trainer with simple goals, seeking to take his place as the Kanto League Champion. He's got a kind heart, though he's a bit arrogant and rash. He has a fondness for Poison-type Pokemon and wishes to become an expert in the type.

He'll be starting with Bulbasaur, the rest of his team will show up as the RP progresses.

New Beginnings: Johto

Fast forward a few years and you'll find yourselves in the quiet, but beautiful region of Johto. Now with 251 Pokemon and a Team Rocket with new ambitions, we'll find ourselves with a brand new adventure to explore. As expected, this'll play similarly to the Gold, Silver, and Crystal games. In addition to the gyms, we can include the Pokeathlon and the Battle Frontier introduced in HeartGold and SoulSilver. Ideally, I'd like two people to join me for this one, with each of us claiming one of the available starters (Chikorita, Cyndaquil, and Totodile) as we travel about Johto in order to complete our goals.

I'll be using Russell for the RP, he's a trainer that has goals of unlocking the secrets left behind by Johto's ancient people, he is rather intelligent, but he is kind and a bit timid at times. He also has dreams of catching the mythical Pokemon, Celebi.
44992413734_86e3fe3ea5.jpg
He'll be starting with Cyndaquil, and he'll obtain the other Pokemon in his party as the RP progresses.

New Beginnings: Hoenn

Fast forward once again and we'll find ourselves in the tropical, water filled region of Hoenn. A beautiful, tropical place that's currently under the threat of destruction thanks to Team Magma and Team Aqua. As expected, this'll play out similarly to the Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire games. In addition to the gyms, we can take on the contests, Battle Frontier, and eventually the Delta Episode (Spoilers may lurk within it) if we want to. Ideally, I'd like two people to join me for this one, with each of us claiming one of the available starters (Treecko, Torchic, and Mudkip) as we travel about Hoenn in order to complete our goals.

I'll be using Nicholas for the RP, he's nothing more than an excitable trainer that wishes to see everything that the region has to offer, from what lies on the bottom of the ocean to what hides in the deepest forests. He's energetic, excitable, and almost sickeningly cheerful. He has no idea on his goals, but he figured he'll jump the hurdle when he gets there.
44992413674_8b0df16ec4_m.jpg
He'll be starting with Torchic, and he'll obtain the other Pokemon in his party as the RP progresses.

New Beginnings: Sinnoh

We're once again fast forwarding in time to the chilly region of Sinnoh. A cold, but beautiful region full of a unique culture, but unfortunately, it's being threatened by the vile Team Galactic. As expected, this'll play out similarly to the Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum games, we'll be taking on the gyms, Team Galactic, the contests, the Battle Frontier, and whatever else I've missed. Ideally, I'd like two people to join me for this one, with each of us claiming one of the available starters (Turtwig, Chimchar, and Piplup) as we travel about Sinnoh to complete our goals.

I'll be using Walter for this RP, he's a trainer that seeks to become a well respected hero, he has a cheesy sense of justice, being kind and loving, though he isn't the brightest person around.
44992413804_a919bc02c3.jpg
He'll be starting with Chimchar, and he'll obtain the other Pokemon in his party as the RP progresses.


New Beginnings: Unov

Move ahead nearly five years and we'll end up in Unova. In this heavily populated, yet intriguing region, we'll be taking on the Unova League as we deal with Team Plasma (we can discuss whether it'll be N's Team Plasma in B/W or the Neo Team Plasma in B2/W2). As expected, this'll play out similarly to the Generation V games, though whether we go for in the story in Black and White or Black 2 and White 2 is up for discussion. Ideally, I'd like to get two people to join me for this one, with each of us claiming one of the available starters (Snivy, Tepig, and Oshawott) as we travel about Unova to complete our goals.

I'll be using James, he's a simple training seeking to become a well respected battler, his goal is to take on the Unova League and eventually take his spot as Unova League champion. He has a good heart, but his arrogance can often make him come off ruder than he intends. He is flirty and won't hesitate to court a beautiful woman.
44803245095_7c32f5143c_m.jpg
He'll be starting off with Oshawott, and he'll obtain the other Pokemon in his party as the RP progresses.

New Beginnings: Kalos

Go ahead nearly three years and we'll wind up in Kalos, a region full of beautiful sights and interesting people, but like most of the other regions, they're under the threat of Team Flare. Man, the police force in this world are terrible, aren't they? Anyways, as expected, this'll follow X&Y, we'll take on the Kalos League, fight Team Flare, and we could add the Pokemon Showcases from the anime to give us a little something extra to play around with. Ideally, I'd like two people to join me for this one, with each of us claiming one of the available starters (Chespin, Fennekin, and Froakie) as we travel about Kalos as we complete our goals.

I'll be using Lawrence, a musician loving Pokemon trainer that has goals of becoming a well respected Pokemon trainer, he plays country covers of real world metal and rock songs. He is energetic, loud, but kind and caring.
44992413524_10da9342d2.jpg
He'll be starting with Fennekin, and the other Pokemon will join his party as the RP progresses.

New Beginnings: Alola

Nearly twenty years since Red and Blue were released and our journey finally comes to a close as we visit Alola. The tropical location is filled with all kinds of unique locations, a unique locale, and a goofy team of gangstas. We'll travel about Alola as we take on the Island Challenge, fight against Team Skull and the Aether Foundation, among so many other things. Obviously, this'll follow the Generation 7 games, and ideally, I'd like two people to join me, with each of us claiming one of the available starters (Rowlet, Litten, and Popplio) as we travel about Alola to complete our goals.

I'll be using Jay, a simple trainer that's wishing to start his own Pokemon Sanctuary when he gets older, he loves Pokemon and is rather flirty, wishing to start his own family in the future as well. He has a good heart, but he's rash and is incapable of fully assessing situations.
30776819677_c00eaa7654.jpg
He'll be starting with Popplio, and the other Pokemon will join his party as the RP progresses.

With this RP, we're simply following the basic premise of the Pokemon games with bits and pieces from the anime being incorporated into the RP. Combat is simple, it's largely freeform, but if you're battling against someone, we'll be rolling 1d100, the person with the higher number will end up winning the battle, if you somehow end up getting the same number, just roll again until one person is confirmed to have a higher number. As with any Pokemon game, this'll largely be dependent on adventures and battles, romance is also an option, but we don't have to add it in. Patience is necessary when RPing with me, sometimes I can respond instantly, other times, it'll be a week before I respond. I'm not asking for walls of text or novels, but I need at least a paragraph per post. Starters are a first come first serve basis.


In addition to the plots I've posted above, I've got a few new trainers I'd love to get some development out of.

Jonah and Charlene Hill - A pair of happy go lucky siblings from the Alola region. Jonah travels in hopes of changing how the people view the Ultra Beasts, he also hopes to one day get enough courage to while Charlene is hoping to become the Alolan Champion.

Alexander Gordon - A simple trainer traveling about the Kalos region in search of adventure in this wonderful region. He's hopelessly in love with Korrina, he adores his Pokemon, and loves his video games.


Hopefully some of these will interest you! :D
