If you have question, feel free to send a pm to one of the staff members. We will happily answer your question. Also, if there's something you want permission (a certain Pokemon you want to catch or something) send a pm too. We won't bite you~
Suggestions is VERY much welcome too. We'd love to hear your ideas.
PLEASE DO NOT spam. No discrimination. No violence nor sexual content (reference IC is fine, as long you don't overdo it and keep it PG13). Cursing is fine as long it's not in EVERY of your post, and you don't use it to offence someone IRL. Godmodding, Powerplaying etc is a no-no too.
In other words; just use your head.
Please
DO NOT JOIN IF YOU'RE COMPLETELY NEW TO RPING, because this is not a newbie friendly place. xHGSS lies somewhere between Intermediate and Advanced. This is not a direct rule, so I can't stop you from joining; but it's a bad idea. It might only cause trouble for me, and you - and maybe even more people.
This is a
CHARACTER-PER-ACCOUNT rpg, which means you have to create an account for each character you make. The accounts name has to be the same as the characters name; and please don't put too many symbols and such in it.
KNOWING ABOUT POKEMON world is a must, or at least a little about it. Since this RP
is Pokemon RP... You don't have to be a complete expert, but it'd be good if you've played at least one of the G/S/C/HG/SS games.
Bulbapedia isn't a bad place to check either, they have pretty good info spread on everything involving the Pokemon world there. (But please keep in mind that our storyline differs from the games, and some certain things just doesn't work the same way here).
xHGSS is trying to head for a more
DARKER THEME about the Pokemon world, and when I say darker I mean more realistic. Please keep this in mind when you join, if you don't like blood or violence then don't join, because there's going to be some of it.
Don't worry if you have to
LEAVE FOR HOLIDAY or just need a break for the site. Send a pm to a staff member OR post in the Hello/bye board, and say for how long you think you'll be gone, then we'll give you a status of 'away' a status that'll be change back when you come home.
DO NOT DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT!! I do not care whatever reason you might have, but just DON'T! I mean it! I'd rather you just left without telling, than telling and delete your user. Specially canons! When you just delete yourself, it leaves a 'gap' in the threads, and I can't give you a status of Inactive, and nobody can take over, and- In short it means more work for me! So PLEASE don't.
There will be
ACTIVITY CHECKS on the site, but we won't send you a mail about it (because if you ARE active, you'll see the notice here). Activity Checks is made so I can find out who's active and who's not. You have to write with
every of your characters if you want to keep them. Accounts that haven't posted in the RP will be deleted (even if they made a profile that was accepted), while accounts who posted in the RP but didn't do anything to the Activity Check will get a status of 'inactive'. Inactive means that the account pretty much is dead, but you might be able to get it back if you suddenly decides to come back and the staff feels like giving you the account back.
WHEN POSTING IN THE RPG, you don't have to write a whole novel in one post. But please don't keep it under 200 words neither. I'd rather you give people a chance to reply than the kind of posts where it ends up with having two-three conversations at the same time.
3-4 PEOPLE MAX PER THREAD, because more will just get confusing and hard to keep up with when RPing. This of course only means IC, and it doesn't affect the Plot and Journal boards.
Your character is
NOT ALLOWED TO BE IN TWO PLACES AT THE SAME TIME, also known as liquid time. Because it's simply not possible to be at two places at the same time, and since this site is very plot controlled, we need people to be
where they actually ARE. Posting as if it was something that 'happened in the past' is not allowed either.
DO NOT JUMP from the other end of the Kanto to Johto, please be a little realistic. You are however welcome to jump around in the whole Kanto is that is where you're posting. If you are in Kanto and wants to go to Johto, then be sure your last RP thread was near 'the border' (or in Saffron City where there is a train to Goldenrod City).
