The standard no powerplaying or god-modding rules. We understand that your morph has its pokemon moves, but it cannot be invincible, okay? gary stues and mary sues are included in this. none of that.

Don't be an ass. Plain and simple. Unless you're a mule, on the internet. In that case, by all means.

Please keep your signatures to a maximum length of 500 pixels, and a height of 300 pixels. This is to help make the forum look nicer. The maximum avatar size limit is 100x100 . We also ask you avoid blinding colors and scattered blab all over your signature; please make it look nice~ And don't advertise other sites there.

Please try your best to use proper grammar and spelling in your posts. Do not confuse 'your' and 'you're'. This involves confusing the three 'there, their, and they're's. Don't use run on sentences, and no chat speak in posts. Everyone would really appreciate that.

You are not allowed to have a WIP application for more than one week; it isn't that difficult to finish before that time, and it shows that you're serious on joining. Unfinished profiles will be moved to the graveyard. The same goes for accounts.

Keep it clean. Proboards doesn't allow sexual content and/or drug use, so please don't get us deleted. Just suggest that it happened, but do not be descriptive. Remember that younger people may be joining the site, and that decency is preferred. There is more leniency allowed in the in character cbox, but we ask you do keep it mild R in there.

Don't harass members or staff in anyway; sexual, post wise, etc. Nobody likes it. Ask once, and ask kindly. If you get a no, drop the topic.

There is no word count. Just don't abuse this and have one-lined posts everywhere.

there is no character limit. just keep track of everyone, and log in to their accounts daily.

we are a character per account site. do not keep more than one character on your account.

displays names should be your character's FIRST LAST name. in caps.

sob stories are frowned upon. if a history is too unrealistic for a modern day and age, note that your character may not be accepted.

all morphs were born in captivity under government hand.

injected are people who have paid to be injected with pokemon dna. they only know four moves, and these four are very weak. it's more used to show off than anything.

neither morphs nor injecteds show physical growths (ears, tails, claws, etc). only their hair and iris color may change. branching off that, your character must share their pokemon's color scheme.

you must have a face claim from an anime/manga/game. no original art, sorry.

morphs do not understand poke-speak.

to prevent godmodding, your morph/injected must know two defensive/stat moves.

morphs cannot inflict damage on the normal pokemon, but normal pokemon can inflict damage on the morph.

injecteds must be purchased. meaning, it cannot be your first character. you must have a civilian/morph/gov worker before you can earn the money to make your next character an injected.

for every morph there is an injected. while there cannot be two raichu morphs, there can be a raichu morph and a raichu injected.

Each character is allowed to start with two pokemon of their own. More may be obtained through events or the black market.
-- government fighter morphs AND free morphs are forbidden any pokemon.

pokemon owned by morphs may be carried over from show goes on. but only two. choose wisely.
*ignore this if you were not part of show goes on. if you had a human on sgo, you may still carry two and have two starters here. that's four total, human only.

government capture-agent morphs are given one pokemon to assist them with their job.

we are statless. pokemon have no levels, and you may choose to evolve one whenever you would like.

pokemon know six moves. two of these can be egg moves, the others can be any learned move you would like. TMs may be purchased, but remember you must replace current moves. same rules apply to pokemorph attacks.

shiny pokemon are not allowed as your two starters. they are only available through purchase.

pokemorph moves do not affect pokemon. we recommend you only have pokemon on pokemon battles, rather than morph verses pokemon.

pokemon cannot learn HMs. those don't exist here. if you want to ride on your pokemon to fly or surf, the pokemon must be large enough, and be of proper type. they will know how to do the rest naturally.

pokemon that require stones or special objects with trade to evolve still follow that rule. however, the government owns everything that has to do with this. they don't sell their items at a cheap price, but there is a shop provided for those desperate enough to spend the money.

wild pokemon are savage beasts, and your character will not be able to capture one. it is advised you keep away at all costs. real animals, such as dogs and cats and pigeons, do exist.

legendary pokemon are legends. think of them as a religious force.
