Your character will awaken with an odd wooden pokéball next to them or on their person. This will contain their very first pokémon partner!
It will start at level 5.Your starter can be any pokémon that meets the following requirements, from Gens 1-8, and in any regional form:
- Is the base, non evolved form of an evolution chain (ie Cleffa, Pichu, Zubat, etc.), or is a single stage pokémon (such as Mimikyu, Keckleon, etc.)
- Is not a
Legendary or
Mythical- Is not now and will not later evolve into a
Pseudo-Legendary- Is not a Ditto
(APPLIES TO STARTER ONLY)- At this time, we are not allowing your starting pokémon to be shiny, but there will be opportunities to gain shiny forms in the future through events and rewards.
If unsure, see
this comment.There will be events, participation rewards, and opportunities in game to receive other pokémon, including pseudo-legendaries. If your character is from the pokémon series and canonically has a pokémon that is ineligible under these rules, discuss it with the mods. They may be accepted on a case by case basis.
If you're unsure about a pokemon you want to have, simply ask below. There are no stupid questions.
If you'd like a code to keep track of your team on your journal, feel free to use the one below!
This is optional! You don't have to use this code, or post a team tracker, or do any amount of maintenance past knowing what pokémon you have. Feel free to edit fields and colors to suit your needs.
It'll look like
this.
