I like this idea but there's one MAJOR flaw that makes me unable to agree right now. The problem is, where would we put this? If we add a whole new section to the site, it would feel redundant because we already have a trainer and a pokemon section, as well as take up a lot more space on an already large site. I mean, we could combine them, but what about the people that enjoy having them separated?
^^ If you could suggest something to fix this you might have my vote.

Damn computers and their invisible buttons! D: I totally had an epic post here. And it deleted it. Right as I was about to click post reply. ;-;
Well, to summarize Agree to everything Zephy said 'cept for the pokeblocks and muffins and such. I think that'd be a bit complicated, and tough to come up with a way for it to be fair so that people wouldn't stock up on them. And I think that if we did have a contest, it would be based on the skill of that person's pokemon and how they roleplayed it and described it and such, as well as a vote or a poll to see who would win, rather than something statistical. >< But I DEFINITELY like the idea of the pokecontests.
Though Cricket is right that it is complicated, I don't think it'd be like the exploration teams. It doesn't really have to be modded or anything, and it's not as complicated. I mean, we have people sign up, they do their post and performance or whatever, and then we judge/vote. o.o
As for the legendaries, maybe we have a contest leading up to the castle plot where people create their own sprites for Sasqui's own unique legendaries? =D That would be fun.
The trainer/pokemon idea Rose gave is really interesting...and I have considered it before myself. xD But it would require a lot of teamwork. As roleplayers, not as characters. I think that would need a major test run before we really put it to action, so right now I'm undecided on that. And Cricket's right about the size issue. Our site is already really big- especially considering the actual activity of the wild pokemon section. How big were you thinking it to be? Like an actual region or just a small category or a board with sub-boards in Miscellaneous places? Anyways, Undecided on this xD;

Yeah that's very true Tisari. But maybe in the union place there could be a place to post bulletin boards. So in a way it could be:
Union-> -All places in union -bullitins ~Trades ~Battles
Just a small suggestion. I mean in a way I think it would help minimize and help group many of these new ideas. Just a thought. ^.^

Ohhh! So the bulletins would be for trades and battles sort of thing? o.o

Sure. I mean if someone wants a battle it would be more character if there was a way to tell everyone you wanted one. Or even if your looking for something or wanting to trade something why discuss it out of character? Why not have a bulletin to announce things like that. It could even be for news for trainers to read. Like a weekly newspaper on the boards lol.
See I read through the union thing and I like it. It makes interacting with other trainers easier.
(Ok I'm working off Kaichu's idea lol, sorry Kaichu hehe)

By the way, I gree with the castle idea. Legendaries are awesome. Idea 1. Possibly a new extra area? I think there could be a place called 'Scale Den' or 'Dragon's Lair' or something. Basically, a big, rabbit's warren of caves filled with Dragon type Pokémon and other Pokémon with scales. See what I'm getting at yet? Half of the Pokémon in said cave could be of a different colouring. The walls sometimes glitter with those scales Sasqui has which alters a Pokémon's colouring. The trainers could meet the Pokémon, and if they're lucky they might meet one which has been coloured by the scales. If they're really lucky, a mod might say that one of the scales on the walls looks as though it can be pulled out, or that one of the wild Pokémon is gaurding one or something.

That does sound neat, but I think there needs to be more of a catch because they're supposed to be super hard to come by.. What if the dragons ask you to trade something for it? And item/pokemon/etc, and you can choose to accept and go find that item or pokemon, or reject and try a different dragon. And some might ask you to the fight them, or answer riddles. x3; See what I mean? But with that said I gree completely! Also, for the bulletin thing. I would happily write out a newspaper every other week with this kind of information and other changes on Sasqui. I tried a while back and had fun but I made it every week and I ran out of things to put. x3 ^^ What about the other suggestions, Howl? We need more votes to actually do them. -pokes the first page-

-I figure with the bulletin you wouldn't have to do the work. Just the space would be needed and maybe have topics deleted after they get replied to.
-Howl's idea: I like the pulling of the scale idea. Accept ~ But the dragon types thing I'm not so sure. I mean like cricket said it's needs more of a catch. Like your there to find a certain item for like a quest of some sort or something. Or it could be like a maze. Once you find the exit the dragon could be at the end before the exiting door. Or maybe a key that could unlock the door to the union tower. But in order to get the key you'd have to face a dragon which you would have to find first. This way it helps compact things a bit and yet still keeps things a bit separate.

Everyone has the power to move their own boards to the records, they just don't. We would have to do work anyways, and I'm worried it'll get cluttered and no one will want to read it. I think it would be fun to create like.. a postal service type thing and people who want to send messages out to everyone can IN CHARACTER have their character write a message to the editor (me or Tisari would be my guess) and we would send out a newspaper full of recent happenings, trainer information, and sometimes gifts. All trainers would recieve this every week or every other week and would know whatever messages have been sent out.
Ex; Dmitriy stepped into the postal office.. blblabla.. he filled out a form requesting a battle in the Union room to anyone who was interested.. blblabla.. I send out a message saying something like this, " A challenger named Dmitriy Kovalt has requested battles in the Union Room to any challengers interested. To contact him, his phone number is ____, so call him to set up a meeting." And everyone who submits something to be sent out will have it sent out whatever day the mail goes out.
Make sense?

... I get a random pokemon! ^.^ Fwee, thanks guys. And Howl, I definitely agree with your idea on the scales. I have no ideas on how there could be more of a catch, though, but I like Rose's idea of a maze. AND I WOULD DEFINITELY LOVE TO DO THE NEWSPAPER <3 I love doing stuff like that. I used to the Senko Post on an old site of mine and I had a blast. I could do interviews too, and updates and such =D...I would love to do the newsletter/mail/newspaper or whatever it is. XD I'd have so much fun with it. [/center]

Cricket you have made it a great idea so Accept. And with Tisaris' idea of of the interviews that would be neat. The interviewers jumping out of anywhere and interviewing people. Personally I'd like to read what's happening with others characters. It would help me come up with idea's for my own.

>.> You won a pokemon. I miscounted, sorry. I would for sure want to help,Tisari! =D I think it sounds like so much fun too~ O: We could take turns every week, so we can do it every week. If I did it alone I couldn't do it that often, so I think it'd be cool. =D Tisari's idea hit 5 so she gets a... X3 Yay~ And that idea will be made very soon, since it hit five agreements. I'm excited for a plot. O: But we'll make it after this board is finished because we gots to talk about it more to fully understand it.

o-0 Bulletins for Battles wasn't what I was thinking. I was thinking more or less Open Posts...But the Bulletins can be used to issue challenges to specific trainers or something... and the mail thing would be awesome, because you could mail someone's secret base and ask for a battle, trade or meeting somewhere or something. Number exchanges and everthing. ^^
o-o Dragon-thing kinda confuses me...I would love to be able to obtain scales more easily; but, I mean...A place filled with Dragons would be mythical. I dun think you should be able to capture them unless they give consent or something...They're supposed to be rare and hard to raise/control/capture and all. that's why Lance being a Dragon Master was so "Ooh, Ahh" in the Games/Anime?/Manga.
OH. and we should totally make a contest out of making Sasqui's Legend / Legendary Set. 83 Each region always has it's own Legend.

XD A smeagle! That's the most random random pokemon I could have gotten. -gives it to Molly- ~ Fwee. And yush. I'm major looking forwards to that newspapers. Taking turns would be fine. ^.^ We could do little interviews with trainers, (and roleplayers), letter-to-the-editors, contest updates (which reminds me I need to update those ;-; I shall do that soon ><), and once stuff like this starts going... Updates on the plot, on...contests and union room stuff which may be added, and other things. :3 It would be a blast. I'm so stoked >D
