our plot !
Pallet High is a boarding school located in the small fictional town of Pallet, Colorado, just an hour north of Denver. Notable for its extensive campus and the high degree of control allowed to its students, it has another distinguishing feature that is less obvious: every student has the personality of a different Pokemon. In all other ways they are completely normal humans: they have no strange markings or special powers. However, their various personalities have a greater effect on their lives than any magic power would...
The goal of Pallet High School RPG is to create real, belivable people from Pokemon characters. They will connect in fun, but odd, ways that make them fun to roleplay! For instance, one of our resident Snorlax characters is Samuel Norton, a rotund teenager who likes to do nothing but eat and sleep, and should he be disrupted from these activities, has a terrible temper. Or, for another example, a Bulbasaur character, Bartholomew B. Sauer, who is majoring in Horticulture (the cultivation of seeds to produce the most prosperous plants) and is a serious but kindly individual who is good with children.
The possibilities of Pallet High are endless, so go for it!= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =Relationships between Pokemon !
Now you might be asking yourself, “Wait, Pokemon are related? What’s up with that?”
Well, it’s not required for all Pokemon to be related to each other. However, it does seem (in the mind of this humble admin) that it makes sense that Pokemon of the same evolutionary chain to be related (for example, Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, and Venasaur are all of the same evolutionary chain, and in Bartholomew Sauer’s history, he has two older brothers, assumed to be Ivysaur and Venasaur). However, this does not have to mean that they have to be of the same family - they can be siblings, cousins, best friends, or any other relation you see fit. The idea that all Pokemon are related is simply a guideline, an idea to add plotting points and to connect characters. We admins thought it would be fun if the Pokemon were related, but it is not necessarily a requirement.
If you can justify a relationship in a way that makes sense to the Pokemon character, then it will mostly likely be accepted. If in doubt, PM Rachel or Kashi and we’ll figure something out.
