Final Farewell

Hello everyone. It's with a heavy heart to announcement that World of Pokemon will be closing for good. Despite our best efforts, we could not come up with a solution and with no real interest left in the game, we felt it was the best course of action.

We are truly sorry for how things have turned out, but sometimes things just don't work out.

Good luck in future games and farewell.

- Nikil

Final Suggestions post

Hello everyone. We come to you with one last suggestions post.

We mods are at a loss on what we can do to improve everyone's experience with this game, so we ask you; what should we do next from here?

We absolutely need everyone's input before we can go on.

If we don't get any answers, the game might become frozen indefinitely as we don't know what will keep everyone interested or have interest in event logs. Please don't feel shy in telling us what we should do to improve things.

If you have a suggestion for how something should be changed, please feel free to tell us about it. We cannot run this game without your support.

State of the Game

Because the majority of players didn't turn in AC (minus a couple of special circumstances), we have frozen both AC and the game for the time being.

There is been little activity in most event logs and just in general. We understand that we haven't been able to do events on time and for that we apologize. The Belated Valentines event has been postponed until further notice.

So we have come to ask you a few questions. What do you want us to do to make this game more engaging to play in? Are there any suggestions you have for us to make the game better?

And finally, Do you feel this game should close or turn into a musebox or neither?

Please comment below.

February Activity Check

February Activity Check

The requirement for Activity Check is to present one piece of activity from the month of AC for each character you play here. It can be:

+ A post
+ A log
+ A thread

If you are on hiatus currently or if you made a claim either a week before or during AC period, you are safe.

Additionally, if you are neither on hiatus nor have nothing to show for AC, please contact the mods if you wish to remain in the game. You can also leave a comment here with a brief (vague if you prefer) explanation, and interest to remain in the game.

This Activity Check will conclude on Wednesday, March 4th

The 'We totally weren't late with this Valentine's plot at all!' event!

It's Valentine's day! I hope all of you had fun, and the Parfum Palace log will be a success, and...

YOU THOUGHT WE FORGOT ABOUT A LITERAL VALENTINE'S PLOT, DIDN'T YOU~?

Oh no no no, we're still having one. It'll just be two weeks late.

We're just evil that way, you see.

( Event details )

Any plotting can go in this post! And yes, any characters who come into the game from today until the 27th can still plot in this post!

Parfum Palace Party

This Saturday, the 14th, the log for the Parfum Place Party Log will be put up. All characters are invited to this and those far away can be teleported there to join (but will be transported back when it's over).

There will be dancing, music, (fruit) punch, the ability to walk in the courtyard, and fireworks at the end.

We understand it's very little time to plot, but as always, everything can be backdated.

+1 Country hurdur

Hello there everyone, this is Star (I play Kankuro who is around, I swear) with my second character, Maria Beilschemidt AKA female!Prussia from Axis Powers Hetalia: Nyotalia. Which is basically Hetalia with genderswapped characters with a few personality tweaks.

Maria's kind of an ass, just going to warn that already. She's pretty much the same as her male counterpart but a little less loud and obnoxious, but not by much.

So yeah, just dropping her in here. Her starter is a fletchling named Birdie because she is the most creative person in the world.

Hey all! A latenight addition here. My name's Zumi, and I'm bringing in an AU of the Once-ler from 2012's version of The Lorax ~~yes, someone still plays him~~. Specifically his AU is through, of all things, Kingdom Hearts. Its initial run was in an AIM RP off of a larger AU's KH splinter, and if you feel like reading a massive tl;dr I wrote three years ago, this post talks all about it. Basically though, for those familiar with the movie it earned him redemption while he was still young. (No offense to the cool that was Old Once-ler, it's just. Certain ages are easier to play against swarms upon swarms of Heartless >.> )

Ahem. Anyway! He and his Chespin'll be intro'd when it's not 3:30 AM, most likely tomorrow ~~today?~~ as I blessedly have an entire weekend off from work for a change. You can find me at

zumidotexe for pretty much any contact purposes. I look forward to playing here~

Hello all! Arc here with Coco Pommel from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic! Fresh out of, well, the ending to Rarity Takes Manehattan, Coco is a freelance fashion designer, and is meek but has a heart of gold. She just was kind of turned into (more of?) a doormat by her ex-boss. Her lack of self-confidence will be an issue starting off here but she's willing to learn! ~~ALSO KALOS IS KIND OF FASHION CENTRIC SO~~

Activity Check for December 2014/midway through January 2015!

Hello all! Arc here with the check-in that I said I'd be doing over plurk. No activity is required at all in this check. Simply post your name and your character names that are staying. If you do not want to stay, please use the drop form to make it easier for us to process.

This is so that the new taken list can be posted up and be completely in order. The taken list itself will be revamped today or early tomorrow, and then updated when this Activity Check ends.

The Activity Check itself will end on January 23rd, 2015 at 11:59 PM Central Time. Please get in your check-ins before that time!

While this is going on, we're going to be revamping the entire game and making it a more enjoyable experience. A new social event will be happening a week from now approximately.

A list of all the new updates will be coming soon, so please bear with us!

Thank you for staying with us as long as you have!

OCs: Yay or Nay?

Until recently, I had decided that OCs will not be allowed in the game because there was no way to really check them against a canon, and it wasn't fair to have to make people do apps for OCs just because of that.

However, due to circumstances and experiences, and due to the fact that the game is semi-closed to friends and their friends, it would be a good idea to allow them. But I'm going to leave it to a poll as well, because I'm curious what you all think.

Please keep in mind this goes for all canon OCs as well as full OCs.

Poll #16331

This poll is anonymous.
Open to: Registered Users, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 8

Should we allow OCs in World of Pokemon?

Interest Check Post

As most of you know, this game has been having a rocky time due to mistakes that have been made. While this game is meant to be relaxed, the pace of the game has slowed to a crawl.

Since this account is not paid, I cannot do a poll so instead we're doing this the old fashion way.

Are you guys still interested in playing this game? Should we do the following...

A) Continue as is with the plot but take a break from it for a while to wrap things up

B) Do a soft-reboot and start things over (this will temporary close the game as we re-work the entire game then later re-open it).

C) Do an Endgame plot with one final log for closure

D) Just close the game right now

Please comment below with your thoughts and let us know how you feel.

A Quick Notice

Hiya guys.

Just letting you know, as Arc's only co-mod, that an interest check post will be coming soon. We haven't forgotten you guys, we have just been rather busy is all. We do apologize for how slow things have been in terms of plot and lack of conclusion to last AC.

Upcoming events and plotting!

While we're on the subject of the future events, I'm going to outline how the events will play out in this post.

First of all, the Parfum Palace/Route 7 Bridge log will begin Saturday the 13th, and will start at Parfum Palace. There will be food, drinks, and dancing all evening. The next morning, Sunday the 14th, the PokeFlute will wake Snorlax and Route 7 will be able to be traversed again.

And then, well, you all saw the Nightmare log, right? He's sealed in the Graveyard Dimension... for now. However, next weekend, on the 19th of December, there will be a new event - that is, a Nightmare event. When everyone goes to sleep the night of the 19th, they will each enter a nightmare - each person that does will have to face one of their greatest fears or regrets. The nightmares are all connected, so those that overcome their nightmares can help others with theirs. They will not be able to wake up until their nightmare has been 'defeated.' Once everyone's nightmares are gone, the nightmare-scape will instead turn into a dreamscape, and Nightmare will appear. Everyone will have the ability to fight Nightmare, and defeat him at long last. After that, the Graveyard Dimension will re-open and the ghost Pokemon will re-populate it.

You may use this post to plot for both events. Create parties for the nightmares, cause some are going to need them!

Some changes to the core World of Pokemon game!

Hello one and all! It's been a rough last few weeks and I apologize; it's been rather difficult to keep things going with how RL has been, and me getting back into the RP scene in My Little Jamjar. However, that's all about to change; a few new changes and some potential ones you all will vote for are going to be talked about in this post!

First and foremost, Pokemon Levels are no longer required to be kept up with! This is a relaxed game, and as much as I thought doing a similar thing to Route 29's game and keeping up with levels and five a week might be fun... it wasn't. And I know many of you are tired of doing that, so! Levels are no longer required to be kept up with. If you still wish to do so that is fine, and for evolutions and movesets I leave to your best judgment. Learning new moves and evolving during battle are okay to do! When it comes to Gym leader battles, you will only be able to use the same number of Pokemon as the Gym leader, and the victory is decided by which has the type advantage, and/or has more skill and efficiency with their Pokemon. You will no longer ask me if your characters can earn a badge - you must make that distinction yourself and your comment to the Gym Badges page is merely for bookkeeping and to let me know they have a badge.

Secondly, all route travel-times are shortened to one IC day per route, forest, and cave floor! This eliminates the need for a Travel Times page, shortens the amount of time needed to get from place to place, and eases confusion among the playerbase altogether. The Travel Times page is now defunct and should not be consulted.

Finally there's a few things that I'd like to hash out with you all. A question: How would you all feel about a 2:1 OOC:IC day rate? Since the game is supposed to be relaxed and any plot and related things have just been going way, way too fast for everyone to keep up with when the very pace is against that. There will be an event calendar as well as a normal calendar to lessen confusion about what day it is at any given time. Comment and let me know what you think!

Also, there is a chance I will be making it much easier to do the claims, whether it means getting rid of the (admittedly complicated) coding of the current one and getting a more basic one, or making it required to fill out said code to claim (which may also be simplified into an easier-to-manage code).

As a side note, I will be posting about the upcoming events soon. Please look forward to them. (Both will be backdated to the end of last week as promised.)

ALSO regarding Activity Check, it has been extended until Friday, the 12th. Please get your AC in if you haven't already!

EDIT: Those of you who have heard of the Nightmare Boss plot, it has been post-poned until further notice, and the Graveyard Dimension itself has been sealed off until further notice. (It'll open back up eventually.)

The Parfum Palace Dance Night/Route 7 Bridge event has been postponed until Friday. A post will be going up tonight or tomorrow with info on that, as well as an IC post that characters can reply to. A Pre-Planning CR Meme will go up for this as well to accommodate.

Thank you for your patience as I work to get things fixed. The co-mods I asked to help me a while back unfortunately have had no access to any of the stuff here to take care of it, and that is entirely my fault. I will be straightening things out/making new posts with the proper accounts so that they can access it and help out.
