RolePlaying Rules
- When Roleplaying, use English. No “hooting” or using the name of the Pokémon as the only thing you say.
- While a roleplay is in progress, use (preferably) ((double parentheses)) to talk in out of character. OOC should be easily distinguishable as such, even if not using double parentheses. Please keep your OOC relevant to the roleplay, and keep it minimal if you can. Constant abuse of OOC will, if authority decides to do so, make OOC and any attempts to get around it an instant mute for a short period of time.
- No legendary pokemon are allowed without having received permission. More information can be found here.
- CAP Pokemon (with the exception of Aurumoth), Ditto, Smeargle, and Zoroark/Zorua are allowed, given that they and their abilities are not abused. If asked by a staff member to change Pokemon, please do so promptly
- Fakemon (excluding the CAP Pokemon) are not allowed: this includes fake Megas.
- References to drugs, alcohol, or excessive gore are banned in-RP, even for roleplay hosts. Keep swearing to a minimum, although bear in mind Pokemon Showdown is PG-13 and therefore this are allowed in moderation.
- Godmodding, powerplaying and metagaming are not allowed, and depending on the severity of the godmod/disruption punishments will be scaled accordingly. A definition of these terms can be found here.
- Outside fandoms are not to be used in Official Roleplays. Custom RPs may contain outside fandoms* if given permission by the host as long as they are within the bounds of the other Roleplaying and Global rules. (*except MLP)
- Mega Evolution cannot be done without a Trainer unless specified otherwise. This includes utilizing an item or changing any part of your character/backstory to allow your OC to Mega Evolve when it normally wouldn't (note: the PMD item 'emera' falls under this restrictive category. It is allowed in PMD but not outside of it).Pls Follow these rules Thanks
