Role Plays, or RPs for short, is basically writing a story with people who come together on online threads or chat rooms. Usually each participant takes the role of a fictional character and interact with other participants' characters in a set theme or situation.

Pokemon RPs are pretty popular. Users become the characters from the Pokemon anime, games or manga and build their story together. I thought it might be fun to do, but I'm not necessarily suggesting us to do it in the forum. Well, not now.

I was wondering if anyone in our forum has done RPs before. If you have, share us your experience about it! Give advice to others who might be willing to try in the future!

I used to RP before (most of them were Pokémon ones) but it's some time that I haven't roleplayed...
I used to do some RP with characters from the Pokémon universe and original ones :yesyes: but always in the Pokémon theme.

(By the way, we have a RP forums if you have some ideas for it asd http://www.pokemon-trainer.com/forums/role-playing.35/ )

Well... like I wrote before, we have the RP forums but no one opened a thread there....
if you or @unownzone have some ideas for it, we can talk about it and improve that forums :yeahyeah:

I want to try RPs, just like @Diehl
I've never done them before, but they sound fun.

I'm kinda worried because I'm not a very good writer. I take too long to think up of something good T-T

Well... some forums have strict rules (like: write more than 5 stripes) or that you have to write something and a mod of the RP mode another character and choose what happens (example: Diehl go to catch a Pokémon and the mod choose if the find the Pokémon, what Pokémon (Diehl can ask for a Pokémon but it's up to the mod if it appears as the first one or later), and to moderate what the Pokémon do... plus some characters like the gym leaders... and so on...)
Honestly, I like the RP where a mod impersonate a gym leader (I moderated some of those forums) but it's really stressful since the mod have to reply to every player... that's why I prefer if the players can do what they want :yesyes: it's more fun and they can write how much they want (1 or 2 stripes or more) -> and those are the rules of the RP we have for now XD something simple that don't require a mod and that the users can have fun and decide for themselves :yeahyeah:

It looks like RPs rely on the cooperation of a lot of people when they get complicated...
I would like to start with something simple like what you said XD

Yes definitely XD I think it'll be fun hahaha

I'm sorry to hear that your RP experience wasn't quite satisfactory... :(

Ooooh who were you in the Soul Eater RP?

My characters were Meister and Weapon, they were Orphans, best friends, son of Asura and she had the ability to transform into multiple weapons.
