I know probably some of you non-moderators/admins are wondering "What's going on with the Pridle Region?" Well, here's your chance to find out. Instead of just the normal the admins pick everything, I'm going to let the non-mods/admins pitch their own ideas.
Ideas needed: -Names of towns (Crotex, Arosa, Newhubbville, and Torame -Names of Routes or catching arenas (look further down) -Names of Gym leaders and what is their Pokemon specialty
Decisions up for taking: -Instead of normal routes like in the games do catching arenas. Catching arenas are areas were you go to catch Pokemon the more Gym badges you have the higher the level of the Pokemon will be and the more Pokemon become available for you. -Should there be Pokemon Contests? -How should we do Pokemon Contest?

What are the names of the already established towns? The name of the town could influence the type of gym and vice versa. I know one of them is Newhubbville, no? Anyway, will there be a theme for towns, e.g. Colors for Red and Blue, Flowers for Gold and Silver? I don't know about Catching Arenas, they seem to take too much away from the Pokemon element. Though I suppose they could work like PokeSpots in XD, though without the Pokesnacks. It would make traveling between towns much shorter. Though, without routes to battle pokemon in, it would cut back on available training spots. Perhaps we should institute Mod-orAdmin-controlled trainers. But, instead of forcing the player to fight them, they were an optional battle for more training. Another issue that arises is the gaining of experience. The current system is...broken. Leveling up should depend on the level and species of the foes pokemon, and whether they are tame or wild. To remedy this, I suggest we adopt a system based on this. As you can see, it gives a formula for determining experience points. We just need to compile a list of each Pokemon's base experience speed; the individual speeds can be found on that site as well, to have as a reference when awarding experience points. The formula may be difficult to adjust to, but it will make leveling up a lot cleaner. Pokemon Contests should be included. I'll think up a way for them to work later, as I have a lot of homework to do, and only an hour and a half to do it. So, I leave you with this post and will either edit this one or reply depending on whether or not someone else has posted after this message. Woah, posted eleven hours and fifty-nine minutes after the initial post. Take that, Time! ~Crater~

Okay, I'll edit the first post with the names of the current towns to give players an idea, and no theme is required. The Catching Arena was just an idea to minimize the space it occupies. I mean having 15+ Routes, then somewhere around 9+ Towns, and then the Elite Four it adds up to occupying alot of space on this board. The idea of the EXP is needed. But I have an idea for it where Trainer's add some amount of EXP to a battle. And the EXP is equal to some number (Based on the species) times its level making it more interesting. I enjoy Pokemon Contests, but I rarely get to roleplay. And also it is hard to describe a Pokemon showing off. This is where the problem lies.

I agree that Contests are a formidable option to include in a text RP.
My first thought was for the dress up portion, the member would edit a sprite of their pokemon in anyway they wished; the one that fit the the theme best and looked best would win, but that would be biased towards those members with better spriting skills, so it's out. You may now exhale.
Another thought that would be more difficult is how you mentioned describing the pokemon's performance would be difficult. I concur, as we would most likely get many posts such as, "Piplup spun around, shooting bubbles to create a beautiful tornado". -However, the more advanced RPers could take the same scenario and create one such as this: "Piplup gracefully danced across the stage on it's tiptoes, twirling elegantly. Its beak glowed a deep cyan. The crowd cried out in awe as a million bubbles excitedly rushed out of Piplup's beak, forming a rainbow vortex around the spinning penguin."
Of course, these were small examples, thought up on the spot, and as such, in no way reflect the writing styles of the members here. Another problem with that sequence is that there is no actual visible act, so judging would be difficult.
================================================
As for towns and Gym leaders, I have plenty of ideas. However, first, I must know, what significance do the already confirmed cities hold? (i.e. Hometown, first gym city, first non-hometown city, basic city, etc.)

So far here is how far I got with the towns. Arosa Town (Home town Crotex (First Gym City Newhubbville (Still pending but so far looks like a non-Gym containing town Torame (A gym containing city maybe the second, maybe later then that

Hm, well, for Crotex, I would suggest poison as the main type, but that seems too odd for a first gym, as none of the starters have an advantage toward it, whilst grass is weak to it. However, the same was for Zypher, so I suppose it could work out. Although, I think steel would be a better idea.
If it were poison, I would suggest a roster of: -Gulpin/Grimer -Quilfish
If it were steel, I would suggest a roster of: -Magnemite and/or Beldum -Skarmory
================================================================
Torame (TOR-ah-may?) sounds like a Dragon gym to me, for some reason.
If it were the second gym, I'd suggest something like: -Dratini -Gabite -(Horsea/Seadra)
However, if it were later on, something such as this may be more suitable: -Dragonair -Gabite/Garchomp -Seadra/Kingdra -Vibrava
I'll think of some towns and ideas for gyms and post them later.

Torame was either going to be Dragon or Fire. Probably Dragon if it was later on.
Crotex, I didn't even think of Poison interesting idea. I'll look into it.
Why is no one else other then me and you posting here? (By the way interesting avatar.)

We could also add rivals to the mix, but this would take careful time and planning to create. I also have a carefully constructed list containing all 493 pokemon. I would post it but it sadly uses a table. I'm working on compiling the HP data into the chart.

Contests- you could start a contest appeal round until a certain date (5 days) and anyone who wants to can enter in period of time. Then give people the OPTION of making a sprite with accesories or writing a small paragraph for and appeal.At the end of the time period a few people (so called judges) could give their rating one to ten and the top four would be randomly paired together. Then the pairs would battle. Each trainer would call out an attack and TD would write the amount of hp the pokemon have left after both attacks. The winners of both battles would face off in the same way and the over-all winner would get the ribbon. How about that?

Good idea, sadly though the only people that actually log on is me, you, and Crater. Lily logs on occasionaly though.
My original thought was to copy the move parts from the game. You know that each move is worht a specific amount of points and has a specific contest effect. Then the top two battle it out in a contest battle like on T.V.

may i add some gym leaders and towns/cities.i made them myself ok here's the list(i'm just going to start from the 5th leader)
-Drake,i'm not sure about the name,dragon gym, pokemon: dratini,bagon,gabite -Jack,Blaze island,fire gym,pokemon:blaziken,magmortar -Casandra,Victory City,psychic gym,pokemon:kadabra,espeon,gallade,alakazam -Ashley,Master City,none type gym,pokemon:Eeeve,flareon,jolteon,umbreon,glaceon(rematch pokemon:vaporeon,flareon,umbreon,espeon,leafeon,glaceon)
then a few other towns: -Lake City, Ruby town(i had a list of made up pkmn tows but i lost it so these are all towns)
catching arenas: min.2 badges:Open field(pkmn types:bug,grass,normal,flying) min.4 badges:Sea(pkmn types:water) min.4 badges:Mountain Chain(pkmn types: rock,ground,steel) min.6 badges and starter pokemon min. level 45:Volcano island(pkmn types:fire,dragon(only Charizard)) min.7 badges:Park(pkmn types;Fighting,normal,flying,poison) all badges:Frozen Forest(pkmn types:ice) all badges:Ancient tower(pkmn types:psychic,ghost)
Contests should be.There should be 3 rounds 1 round: Pokemon show-off 2 round: Pokemon battles 3 round: Final Pokemon battle like in the anime
then they should be like this: there are 5 ribbons(2 of them are given for catching all ghost pokemon in the ancient tower(because there aren't that much ghost pokemon)the other 3 should be given away like in the anime

Okay, the gyms will be taken into account. Casandra's a keeper, she sounds like she would be a good gym leader. Drake's name is overdone. I mean I think from Reb to Ruby there has been someone named Drake. Other then the other ones seem doable, but I would like to see what other people come up with, too.
Catching Arenas. Sadly, this area seemed to be going down hill and as such it has been eliminated. The routes are staying.
Contests good idea, but sadly it is still to engineered to helping our more specialized speakers. But the basic layout is good.
Finally the five ribbons are going to stay, but minus the whole catching all of the Ghost Pokemon. This is too strictly because I would like to contests and gyms apart. You can still do both, but I don't want people to have to do gym battles in order to enter the Grand Festival.

if i may just add one more thing a Villainous Organization:Team Omega. They want to create a new pokemon,the ultimate pokemon.They have their HQ in Zargon City.When i ment create the ultimate i mean that they want to capture all mascot pokemon(Ho-Oh,Lugia,Kyogre,Groudon,Rayquazza,Dialga,Palkia,Giratina and Arceus even if Arceus isn't a mascot)and combine their powers to an ultimate pokemon.

The villians, if I ever get around to creating them, would've been Team Terra. (See Pokemon Fanfic in the fanfic section, it points them out somewhere.) But still Team Omega might be doable.

Never thought of a Battle Frontier. I'll cross that bridge when we get to it.
