I'm not sure which pokemon I want to use for this now. I don't think I'll stick to that list I made way back when in 2011, but I think I'll keep his first pokemon, Shedinja, at least.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Seems like we're caught flat-footed on this one...

How many of you are actually prepared to start now (know what Pokemon you'll use and all that)? Cause, in all honesty, I think my two-week (14 day) countdown shouldn't start until everybody involved has at least made one post.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

I'll post here in a bit, I just wanted to ask if we only have one pokemon each right now? Just to make sure.

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

I'm sure you can have more. Carmella had two until very very recently.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

One or two is okay, so long as you don't go overboard with powers.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

When I intro my character, you'll understand why "going overboard" won't be a problem even if I wanted a full team.

But to calm any concerns you may have, my intention is to have three. All of which have 1 of the same moves, meaning in total I'd have 10 different moves. Two of my intended three are really more companions than fighters...their moves will reflect that.

But if after I've made my intro post you think I should cut back, I will happily do so.

Aw...that's unfortunate.

Long as you don't forget about us, though. Dropping in to say hi goes a long way, in my book.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

So are GV, Phi and I the only ones participating?

[Celadon's Penultimate]

I'll try to get in, I promise. Dunno why, I seem to have hit not just a slight case of writer's block, but also a bit of a rut with motivation and procrastination.

@Marv: We are moving through the city, you can assume that we're heading your way or are going to pass you if you want to join in with our group somehow. Or maybe you find the Rocket goons we are looking for. Or whatever you want to come up with.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

yeah, I just remembered how very little I know about Pokemon since I sort of lost interest in it. I think I'll just peek in to see if the story needs a push in one direction or the other. Otherwise, you guys have a ball. I have a few things I'd like to see you do, but for the most part, I'm gonna just sit back and enjoy the show.

[Philote]

This was your idea to begin with, you can't even join in

How come you don't pay attention to any rps anymore?

[Celadon's Penultimate]

People aren't really coming on anymore. Not even what small numbers we used to have. They might be unable to, or uninterested. All the same, I used to put a lot of effort into big, long posts, for a big collective forum-yawn at best. I mean, really, we've got, what, six RPs going and each of them just lurching along. The same few people throwing their hats in, or bowing out. And nobody seems enthusiastic about anything. It all feels like obligation. Nobody really cares very much, so I find it hard to, myself.

Not that I intend to abandon the Forum. I doubt that will happen any time soon, but I certainly don't feel the same about things as I used to. I really wish I could reach out to more people, to bring some new lifeblood to the Forum. Without new perspectives, new experiences, new writing styles, new interests, we're really being dragged down into a bad literary rut.

At least, that's how I see it.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Partially my fault...I've been working and after a day in the sun...typing 10 story posts is the last thing I want to do.

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

I hear that. Sometimes your whole body hurts and you want to lie in the bath until nothing matters anymore.

[Philote]

You don't have to write a Greetings from Celadon post every time you add to an RP  We just want you to know whats going on and at least post something. Things aren't going to move forward at all if you just full stop your posts in nearly everything.

I've been busy as well lately as I'm sure people have noticed, I still do my best to make sure I'm helping out with the ones I've committed to.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 I try to make sure I cover my bases. For posterity, I want some fairly decent writing.

Still, I'm trying my best not to let that hinder me from writing anything. It just might take a bit longer before I finish, that's all.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Did someone say what town/city we were in already?

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

Nope.
