Hello and welcome!
If you are transferring from our Gaia shop you can either choose to sign up with your Gaia username, or sign up with a new one. Just let us know who you were! We DO have a shop discord! If you're wondering why there's so few journals, only staff journals are visible to lessen the amount of info to process (and potentially overwhelm), and provide examples!
Our Rules:
1.) First and foremost be respectful. We don't appreciate nor tolerate harassment or disrespect towards any of the shop staff or kid owners.
2.) If caught harassing anyone you will be banned.
3.) Do NOT steal any artwork. The artist has worked hard on the images and don't want to see them reproduced/copied/or stolen. Thank you.
4.) No chatspeak/l33t speak.
5.) No refunds
6.) There isn't a limit on how many you can have but please only get as many as you are wanting to stay active with, please. Better to have what you are willing to play with instead of a bunch of characters you've collected that sit around gathering dust. <3
7.) Do not whine or beg for a child there will be plenty of opportunities.
8.) This is an roleplay site. Roleplay is required to get new art and the next stages.
9.) Do not pester artists or staff members unless you feel it is needed. Like if we missed your growth or didn't answer a question you had asked about.
10.) Please post questions in the staff questions channel on our discord. Do NOT pm the artist. Though we don't mind answering questions we feel it would be better if all questions were directed to the shop mule for consistency.
11.) Play dates only count for the stage they are in and do NOT count for future requirements. So if your child is teen all the play dates count for that stage. THEY DO NOT count for stages beyond that. You may however do a backdated RP as necessary to fill in story gaps.
12.) Only ONE account per user. Please do not sign up multiple times. If you can't remember your password request it be reset. Check your spam folder for account approval email.
Role play Rules:
1.) For a PD (play date) to count each owner must make at least 5 posts, so ten posts total. Also while there's no post limit requirement if users abuse this with short one liners, one may be implemented in the future as needed.
2.) No Chatspeak or l33t speak. Be literate please.
3.) Keep all rp PG 13 and under. Anything above that take it to pm's, as long as both/all parties are okay with this. Otherwise, fade to black.
4.) Please follow proboards's TOS.
Questions:
Q: So...can I have one?
A: Yes! Newbies can claim a new pokemon either on Discord or on the forum (not both places) after they complete a 500 word solo as their intended pokemon. It will then be picked up by one of our talented artists! You can also get them through customs, bribes and events. In the future we will open the ability to pay money for characters.
Q: How much are they?
A: This is pending. For the moment they are free. Once we figure out a proboard "payment" system it will be implemented. For now activity is the main currency. In time we'll allow users to pay real money to buy them from artists, with prices TBD. You can also earn Gimmicoin and turn those in for a variety of prizes including pokemon. We also use Gimmicoin which is earned through participating in monthly prompts and in events where they're present as a prize.
Q: Legendaries?
A: Legendaries are meant to be rare, and while some may have multiple types of the same legendary, going forward we will ask that each player only has one 'type' of a legendary until it's an adult. If a legendary is a perma, or has [NRP] then that version of the legendary is available to other players and are no longer considered 'locked' to others.' The rules regarding legendary limits per user can also be found here.
Q: What about Jirachi, why is it an exception?
A: For the moment another Jirachi will not be allowed since the main shop NPCs are Jirachi.
Q: Where is this set?
A: This is set in a general world setting, the Pokemon still act as normal when in the first stage. They roam around doing Pokemon things until they stumble across either Kira or one of Kira's stars and the change overtakes them. (In the past this was fulfilled by Ialu or one of his stars. Ialu has been retired as he belonged to the old shop owner.)
