Okay I've updated the first page and added everyone's submitted characters to the list, except Thaedael, but I promise your spot will be saved
On that note...

Though lavender Town isn't in the Hoenn Region, I could still allow it to be her Home Town if she is coming from the Kanto Region to start her adventures here in this Region

You're more than welcome to! Hopefully I'm not biting off more than I can chew GMing with such a vast turnout, but hopefully we'll find a way to manage. If I get overwhelmed, I'll let you guys know and we'll see about electing a Co-GM, but I'm pretty sure, like Losdiablo suggested players start to team up, it should be less of a strain to be able to GM everyone in pairs instead of individually.
At the moment, the only thing I'm a little worried about is my ability to be a good GM, but I'll try my best and, from what I've seen, this is a pretty supportive community, so I'm sure its just my self-confidence playing games with me.
Before we start, I want to do some research on the Hoenn Region to get a feel of each, individual area, its respective Pokemon, Gym Leaders, Gangs and all that stuff just to get a clearer picture of things beforehand. Other than that, I don't see a reason why we can't start this tomorrow. Everyone who has posted with interest up to this point will be guaranteed a spot. Anyone after this, I wouldn't mind you posting that you're interested or even putting up an App, but I myself need to personally make sure that I can support everyone here. Wouldn't want to get overwhelmed and that affect the quality of the RP, but hopefully, as I said before, we figure something out, I hire some help, and we turn this casual little idea into something big.
I want to thank you guys again for all the help, especially with the questions I had about how the game should be played and the comments about the plot.

plot: that is satisfactory almost wholly because pokemon games have never had the strongest or most interesting plots
legendaries: in the games, catching a legendary was supposed to be an achievement. i see no reason why the canon legendaries can't be caught by the players. since this is gen 3, i think rayquaza, groudon and kyogre are the ones we are looking at? particularly since groudon/kyogre/rayquaza were major plot elements of the gen 3 games, i think it would make most sense to introduce an opportunity later on for a lucky player to tame them when the plot permits (as this is really sort of like a mirror of the game plot). they would be hard battles of course, so i would only present this opportunity to people with a good team of pokemon.
population: to be honest i think having multiple of legendaries/pseudolegendaries is tolerable for pokemon that there could plausibly be multiple of. but pokemon like mewtwo, groudon, kyogre, etc. are all explicitly stated to be one of a kind beings with regard to their history, so limit those to one.

Plot: Start of story players are in (blank) town (where ever they are supposed to start or are going to start). Each players motives of being a Pokemon trainer should be different. By this I mean that some trainers will want to defeat the gym leaders and the The Elite Four, some will just want to capture all the pokemon and find new rare ones, etc... All the main bad guys and evil groups in the story should just do whatever their doing and they become problems that the players will have to overcome and defeat. One group of the bad guys or evil organizations should be capturing pokemon and using them as sex slaves. If some of the players lost duels or whatever maybe they are raped or forced to have sex with the person(s) that beat them. Trainers (or the roleplayers) should meet up and work as a team sort of like Ash and his gang you know? I think that would be pretty cool. Of coarse if a lot of people join this rp I don't think you could have like 10+ people in one group so maybe several sub groups who can meet up with other trainers and fight. These are just ideas to add or use to the story, whatever works.
I don't think legendary should be worried right now as they won't show up till late in the story. We can figure them out later.
I'm glad we do have a plot that somewhat follows the Pokemon universe and, at the same time, offers a little extra that everyone here on LoK seems to be a fan of ^^ so it looks like this will be a success. I'll add the plot to the Main Post and then start doing my research. Later tonight I'll see if I can iron out the OOC backpacks for those of you who've already posted your character applications. By the way, you're all accepted. In all the excitement I never posted that. You'll have to excuse me. They were all just so good I figured you guys just knew you impressed me, lol.
Gotta Fuck 'Em All!
