Cool, that's like five...I think. As for the photo booth, That's an approved on my part. Though I don't know who would be working on them. I don't know much about sprite work.
New idea. Evolution spray. I think this was in the card games. For somewhere in the vicinity of 500-1000 steps buy a one use spray that evolves a pokemon regardless of if it meets other prerequisites. Like leaf stone or level. It might cost more, this is all sort of spur of the moment. It would have to be expensive to prevent abuse.

Winter, I'm undecided about your photobooth. Perhaps if it wasn't spriting, but a digital picture instead then it'd be better because I don't think anyone on this site feels good enough to sprite freehand someone's character and pokemon. And, if there is a person like that then I doubt they'd want the flood that this would lead to. Perhaps we could figure out a way to manage this so that we'd have many different artists. Maybe we could have like.. a stall where artists can sell their art for steps and the steps people pay will go directly to them? Like.. Sasqui commissions? Basil, here's your pokemon: Name; You Choose Gender; You Choose Level; 5 Personality; You Choose Moveset; SonicBoom, Growl, Quick Attack, Water Sport Ability; Swift Swim - Speed boosts in rain And I agree with your spray idea!

I agree with the daycare idea. It gives people more options on their characters and allows them to develop the character more than the countless Pokemon.
I also agree with the evolution spray as a means for difficult to evolve Pokemon to evolve. But I do think it needs to be more expensive.
My suggestion is that of an Elite Four-like devise, if nobody's ever suggested that. It gives trainers another goal after collecting badges, but I was also thinking of making them roaming Elite Four. The trainer would be challenged to find where they currently are. And they could meet and mentor trainers that have yet to collect the badges. I just thought it adds anther dynamic to the game, but feel free to poke holes in the idea.

I like the idea of the evolution spray, though, it'd have to be ridiculously overpriced to keep from abuse.

I Agree with the evolution spray idea and the Elite four idea.

I agree with evolution spray! I think this is five...
Anyways I was thinking that maybe we should have pokemon contests in with you present the pokemon that you own on sasqui, write a paragraph about them, and then have a few judges. Who ever wins should receive whatever prize the the judge feels they should receive depending on how high their score was out of 100%

Well, I'm far too lazy to read anything past this page. So. Huzzah.
Evo Spray; I'm personally on the fence about this. While it's neat, I think it kinda goes against the point of Roleplay. It was invented in the Card Games as a means of being able to kill your opponent with hastily gathered strength.
Elite Four; Mmm. Yeah, there should be something to do once you get to the "End of the Rainbow" as it were, but... Roaming sounds like extra difficulty onto a task that should already be hard... Maybe something like, the Elite Four roams around when there's no challengers - so they can be found all over the region when they're... 'off' as it were - and then there could be a formal stadium where one must submit a Letter of Challenge to the Elites. Of course, if you find them, feel free to challenge. I dunno whether it should count towards your "Muahaha, I win!" sort of thing, but it'd be hella good Exp for your Pokemon. 83 And with the Elite Four should come the Hall of Fame. *always loved that part* Anyway, I still think the Elite Four is a good idea. I think I bugged Cricket about it before ( I do love my battling ) x3 So this is a Greenlight idea in my book.
Contests; I'm on the fence about this too. I'd love to have another dynamic to the Pokemon world ( Cut and dry Trainers "Yey I R collect ate badges" are, everywhere ) but it's hard to find people whom I think would be impartial... I'm also not all that experienced with Contests ( I ignore them in the game, and I kinda tune Dawn out in the show ) But what I do know is that Trainers and Pokemon are supposed to fight, and fight elegantly. Which, I think is super difficult to do with words.
And, my idea is we should have a Giveaway for the up and coming release of HeartGold and SoulSilver consisting of some rare items that are 'exclusive' to the Giveaway ( thus making activity ) or perhaps a mini Pokemon giveaway of our Johto friends. I'd also say I'd host a small WiFi event, but I'm not sure about everyone's status with all this stuff. Oh, and before I forget; From January 30th to Febuary 14th, GameStop will be doing a Wonder Card Event giving Trainers the rare Pikachu-Colored Pichu which will be the key to unlocking HG's and SS's special Notch-Eared Pichu. ;3 ( Maybe we could add a choice between those two to the Giveaway too? ) I'm also trying to think of a way to maybe integrate a PokeWalker system into here as well... Like a mini-daycare to earn Exp while your Trainer walks around. I dunno how it would work though, I'm just so excited for HeartGold and SoulSilver. x3 I want to do stuff to commerate the fact that, sometimes, Nintendo does listen to it's fans. And that, sometimes, it's not evil.
I also totally think we need a Plot. I need me some bad-guys to pummel.

Well Kaivee, the spray idea was thought of generally(I admit this is rather self serving due to a pokemon I just got) as a way to get past certain overly tricky evolution bits. Something that evolves on happiness is much more subjective in roleplay then it is in the games and, esp in my case but maybe for others, then the pokemon who evolve by trading are generally what I think it's intended use would be. Since it will be wildly expensive and much easier to evolve pokemon the normal way it wouldn't make sense to use on some of the simple evolution pokemon.

Elite Four: Agree, and the roaming thing would be interesting! Everyone can totally lose! It'd add somethin' for personal development. Contests sound fun to me, so I agree, but I think we should have a seperate board if it IS done, or just do it in the Union tower. ^^ Giveaway should be the celebration. Or part of it at least. ^^

I like the sound of some sort of celebration when HGSS finally comes out. Agree, but thinks it still needs a little work.
My latest idea is something for Valentine's day. (which is two days after my bday squee) Perhaps we should give out paired Pokémon (eg Nidoran, Plusle + Minun etc), or maybe some special item/s. Perhaps we could give out Cupid's Arrows which make Pokémon fall in love/evolve if they need happiness?

I don't know about giving them away, unless you mean a contest. If you do then I totally agree

Ok, definitely agreeing to the celebrate Heart Gold/Soul Silver thing. I mean, it's gonna be an epic day, and why miss a cause to celebrate?
Basil brings up a really good point, too. We should allow breeding between two pokemon one trainer owns, and we should have a daycare somewhere, too. I think it'd make sense. But, each trainer would have a limit of leaving like, one or two pokemon at a time. That way even if they do breed pokemon like crazy, most of the time there will just be eggs sitting in their PC. We'd also need a system for pokemon daycare raising. I think it should be set on how much a person roleplays on the site. Like, every... 10 posts (ROLEPLAY posts) they get 1 level for their pokemon. Just so it won't go up like 20 levels in a month and then the person isn't even active. But yeah, agree to Basil's idea.
For the photo booth, I don't know if that's nessecary... I mean, we could make one, but most of the time people just make sprites or something. But we could give it a shot an' see how it turns out. =D I'd be happy to sprite characters, but they would mostly be splices, like pokemon sprites. Agree.
Evo-spray, I agree with. We might as well have one, since during random contests we win pokemon like level 5 raichus and stuff, so it's not contradicting any rules. Especially if it was in the card games anyways. It would have to be ridiculously expensive, though. And not everyone is gonna want to use it, anyways. Agree.
Definitely agree with the traveling Elite Four. That's the coolest idea ever. And more realistic, too. If I was one of the elite four, I would not be sitting in a boring room waiting for a trainer to come once every like, half a year.
Animemasta, I like your idea, but what exactly would the trainers be writing about? Like, just their pokemon? I think there should be some sort of a theme or something. And, like all fair contests, we'd probably end up having a vote. So, undecided on that one as of yet. =)
Kai, I'm defs up for the HG/SS giveaway. I mean, who's not up for giveaways? Agree. I'd love to do a wi-fi event, but I may or may not be able to participate (whether or not I'm at my dad's house, basically). But I like the idea, so I agree with that as well.
As for the plot, I've had 5 or more agrees for the "Bad Team" idea I brought up. I especially like the mafia thing someone pointed out (can't remember who, sorry XD) but that's how I pictured them. They wouldn't be goons like Team Rocket or like the idiot grunts in the game "Fufufufufu" (seriously, who the hell laughs like that?). They'd be smart and clever, and they'd give us a challenge. If we had a plot, I think activity would go WAY up, too. Even if it's just something like a team. I mean, with a team, you can have a million plots included. Characters can be evil, we can have evil scientific pokemorph things, and like... crazy plots to destroy the planet and stuff. It can all integrate.
Howl, DEFINITELY AGREE! That's such a cute idea! Pokemon pairs... man, I love it. That's way too cute to look over, haha.

Muahaha. I'm glad everyone likes my GiveAway plan, because I planned on doing it anyway after I posted it. Because Cricket pointed out I have power, and I don't need anyone's consent to do awesome things. The thing I do want feed back with is the Poke'Walker. It seems like it's going to be heavily used in the new Gen games, and I wanted to see if anyone wanted to give it a shot in Roleplay. If anyone likes the idear, I'd start trying to figure out how to work it in without GMing it up with Uber-Strong Pokemon. x3
And yes. Pokemon mafia sounds great. I want some bad guys not afraid to tell their Nidoking to use Body Slam on a person. ( Which would totally suck if you were the person staring that Nidoking down ).

I want teh bad guys!
More specifically, I want to be ONE of the bad guys... >:3 MUWAHAHAHAHAHA! I'm so evil...
The Pokewalker I'm not sure about. =P
I'm going to suggest making sure that this place is registered on Google/Yahoo/Other Search Engines to promote new members.
As for the Team, I have a few name suggestions:
PM - Pokemon Mafia (Standard levels of evil. Bad guys who're ok with hurting people.)
PInc - Pokemon Incorporated (Evil corporation style. Booyah.)
POV - Point of View (An undercover evil organization with mostly scientists who want to research/experiment on pokemon. Their cover is researching the effect of locations on a pokemon's type and moveset.)

Evil corporation will fit best, considering the plot me and Cricket thought up. =) But Pokemon Incorporated is too... boring, too good. It needs to be snappier and more stylish. Pokemon is too generic, in a way.
