Hey everyone! Decided to follow up on this now that life has settled down a bit!
 

Premise:
In an effort to finally determine who is the "very best" trainer in the world, the first annual Pokemon World Series has been launched. Challengers represent their regional league, receive support from their sponsors, and compete in order to raise their individual rank. Face down other rival trainers in Star Battles, and climb the ladder. The world is watching, you've come this far- will you be the very best like no one ever was?

Pokemon Stars is intended to be a mix of slice of life RP based around the life of a celebrity trainer in the Pokemon universe. Compete against another player to a contest battle on national television, or fill the stadium as you face your rival in a Dynamax battle, all the while navigating the adoration of fans, the weight of your Region's honor, and the demands of your sponsors!


Details
Actual battles are freeform, with the specifics determined by the writers involved. Wins and losses weigh less, as participation increased both Challenger's ranking (winners only receive a slightly higher base point reward for their exhibition matches, so winning isn't everything!). Characters can be created with Trainer Powers (mega evolution, Z-move users, type specialist etc.) that increase the points they earn when activated in Exhibitions, and can earn more as they compete thanks to their sponsor's favor!

Only the best would be endorsed by their region to enter the World Series! In terms of balancing, rule-of-cool/super smash bros rule are factored in. Any 'normal' pokemon can be used effectively, so get ready for legendary fights between Eevee's and Dragonites.

No one can agree on what a Pokemon Master is, so expect competition to come in different forms. Trainers can initiate a Star Battle between one another, broadcasting their battle to the world!

OOC- any designated "Star Battle" can be created between two players, pitting their characters in chosen fighting style, utilizing the Vs Seeker, whose functions have been updated for this competition.

Finally, determine your character's initial sponsor! You represent your region, but your sponsor determines your perks and resources available. Will the Aether Foundation support you with an Ultra Beast? Or will Macro Cosmos unlock a G-Max pokemon for you? Maybe the Indigo Plateau has pulled the strings to help you register another pokemon to your team?

There's no wild threads, breeding or farming systems for this site. Majority of work is making choices on character builds and unlocking enough points to add anything you want in the future. this does mean less forced balancing or gate keeping, hence the move from 'win loss' and emphasis on freeform. It's entirely possible to enjoy the site without focusing on the battle system. Site's emphasis is on lowkey sandboxing within the premise, with options for mod or member initiated events!
