Heh ^_^; not exactly sure if this is a good place to be putting this but I'm trying to get the word out, and the pokemon section didn't seem right for some reason and this isn't *technically* an RP (even though it has forms and such).

Go look at my Pokedex project over on a fan-fiction site called Quotev! I love pokemon and have started an almost communal Pokedex! It's going to be as detailed as I can get it, but there are Over 700 Pokemon to choose from! I can't figure out where to start!
Note: I've realised I haven't made this completely clear, and I won't ding anyone for it now, but in the setting of the project, Pokemon have only been discovered for a couple of years, and things aren't quite like they are in the games. That's why the data is different, that's why the characters have to be over 18 years old, because at least in America, that's when a person is officially an "adult" and can go out and do what ever and face the consequences on their own. Your characters are going out to discover the way that the new pokemon interact with the old animals, and make up stories of those encounters. I've decided that the people who have already said that they get starter X or they got pokemon x to start their journey are writing in the future, when pokemon are a more commonly kept pet. Right now Pokeballs don't exist, nor do PCs, nor do trainers as we know them. ~Thanks ^_^

Application Forms:
Show hidden content
I'll post these here as well, but they are over on the Pokedex page!
Rules!
1. Nothing inappropriately gruesome in Reports or Mythos Reports.
2. Do not excessively request a pokemon. We will get to you, I promise.
3. No spamming me, here or on Quotev.
4. Be kind to other writers, and ask permission before sending them on the same adventure as yourself.
5. Follow all rules of any site you came from.
6. THIS IS NOT AN RP. Yes, you can write, yes you can interact with each other, but this is supposed to imitate a scientific discovery of the entities we call pokemon. If you want to make an RP based off of this project, let me know, and we can work somewhat in tandem, and certainly don't proceed without my permission to use this content, thank you.
7. All Mythos/Field reports should be PMed to me or sent directly to me via email to prevent someone from stealing your ideas!

Mythos Writer
(User)Name:
(User)Age: (Yes, this is required. I don't want a ten year old giving me mortal combat fatalities of pokemon.)
(Character)Name:
Appearance: (Includes, hair color, eye color, age, etc., Character cannot be under the adult age of your country, or if that information is not provided, 18.)
Sample Writing: Tell me what your first adventure was, how you met the professor, troubles you encountered, etc. I don't expect you to find a legendary in this section, I want to know character flaws, and see development. Make your character interesting. As of right now, there are no teams.
Url/Link to Quotev/Pokeheroes (Mandatory for Mythos Application)
The Mythos team is devoted to research of the habits of Legendary Pokemon, such as Kyogre. I don't WANT you to run into one every adventure. I expect writing on records you may have found, and writing Mythos Reports should be well thought out, connecting religion and ruins etc to the pokemon world with a creative flair and talking about how your character (and potentially their team) discovered what they did.

Field Writer

This is kinda the opposite of the Mythos Team. Your character is a simple recruit, and is wandering around trying to figure out how the pokemon interact with our world's creatures and plants. You help fill in information that the professor(s) may not have found yet. (ALL THOUGH YOU MAY NOT MAKE LIGHTWORK OF MY WORK AND SAY IT IS ALL COMPLETELY WRONG) Mistakes happen in science, but I will not take disrespect.

Sample Writing: If you've proven in your adventures (Be it Mythos or Field teams), you may be promoted to professor. You can help in writing pokedex entries, "hire" new recruits, and once we make it get a nifty little badge (which is still WIP.).



So, here's what we're going to involve in this!

Pokedex: An in-depth version of the pokedex that will (hopefully) include most of the pokemon and several new ones from other franchises and completely original pokemon. We will try to explain all of the pokemon that we can (and we've hopefully done a good job so far) although some may be a touch harder, and some may be outright excluded.

Sawk/Throh Newest Entry!
Xerneas


Event Dex: This section is where we're gonna try and explain the random and weird things that nintendo and the anime haven't delved into much (while being apporpriate of course). Why do even mammalian pokemon lay eggs? Why do moves exist, and how? Can humans be taught to use moves? Why can some pokemon telepathically communicate but others can't? Why can some pokemon straight up speak English while others stumble trying to understand humans at all? We have so many mysteries to address! And we'll try and hit them all!

Mythos Reports: The short-stories made by the teams who are devoted to finding the Legendary pokemon (or otherwise potent pokemon) by researching religion, landmarks and ancient technology. These are well thought-out accounts of what and where a research team found, and adventures they may have had along the way. (Think Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom ^_^)

Field Reports: Average-Joe characters' adventures! People can recount their own imaginary adventures and contribute to the pokedex by discovering new habits that haven't been addressed yet, or simply write little entries of their own coming of age-type story. This is where it gets the most RPish, but there isn't much interaction between characters, as it's our own world, and it's a big world to happen to wander into other people.

So, please check it out and request things if you want, we don't bite ^_^ Again I'm sorry if this is the wrong place for this, and I don't mean any disrespect. We just thought this would be a fun little thing to get the community involved, and we're going to be putting a LOT of effort into it. Spread the word if you like it, growl angrily and don't bully me if you don't. Thanks!

Professors:
Prof. Sweet
aKa Mayella, Midnight_Rein
Hiya! I'm the founder who started this whole crazy mess! I'll try to format things so they're easier to read, but for right now, this is how it is. Don't be afraid to reach out to me, and I will try to reply and accept messages and applications in a timely manner!

(User)Name: Pendy
(Character)Name: Verlin
Appearance:Black Eyes, But has purple contact lenses. Black Hair. Wears a black Hoodie.
Intro/Sample Writing:
Well, I'm new here so I'll introduce myself!
I've always been friends with ghost and a little bit of dark types, after all, I grew up with them! I was an orphan, along with many ghost and dark types, so we took care of each other. Eventually, other people found me, and took me away to an orphanage, I never saw my ghosty friends again.
I remember when I first met the Mythos Professor. I was picking up my 'foster brother', he'd just got his first starter who was a charmander, I went up to meet the professor and saw that he had a symbol on his coat that read 'Mythos Team'. Later I learnt from him that he was supplying for the usual professor and was part of the Mythos team, a Team who studied varies types of pokemon and record them. I asked if I could join and, here I am!


(User)Name: AtomicPanda (Will be changed to Atomi) New Writer!
(Character)Name: Maxon
Appearance: Umber brown eyes (wears glasses), pitch black hair, wears a green, blue plaid shirt with dark blue jeans.
Intro/Sample Writing:
I am an energetic and curious kid born in an average household with my mom and my dad. As a birthday present for when I turned 6, I received a Pancham and we were besties ever since. He follows me everywhere, and he guides me when I’m discovering the undiscovered. Then, my life changed forever. My mom took me to the Mythos Professor, and I realized, that I was meant to be in the Mythos Team! Now, I am friends with Verlin, since we share common interests. Oh! And I almost forgot! I name my Pancham Camus




Field Writers:
Well, well, it seems like there's a lack of adventurers! Come and apply!



Mythos Teams:
No writers have teamed up and gone out for adventure! Maybe there aren't enough people to team up! Feel free to apply!

Bump of Sorrow!

My friend has bailed out on me :( She doesn't believe that we'll get enough support in this project, and no longer wants to be involved in any way. Please, please, please request your favorite Pokemon and let this thing live!

Update Bump!
New entry! Verlin (Pendy) went out and found us a pack of Sableye to gather data on, and collected a lot of her own! I also added a table of contents, so that it'll be easier to navigate!
