Due to actually recieving interest, I'm creating this topic to hoard any info on this subject.
CHARACTER CREATION For the character representing yourself you shall have to roll up the standard stats, but some will have different affects in the pokemon world than the normal world.
Strength: Standard stuff, lifting things, how much you can put in yout backpack etc. Termines if you're as stong as a Caterpie or a Machamp. Dexterity: Also very standard. This pretty much deterimines if you're a clutz or not Constitution: Affects your own health, how often you get sick, etc. Also affects how long you can wander about in the tall grass without getting tired. Intelligence: This is pretty much self explainatory. Wisdom: Also known as common sense. Charisma: This affects how much your actions are noticed by other people or your pokemon. A high charisma allows a person to to raise friendliness easily and might find that a high powered pokemon actually listens more often than not.
Note that all this is for the human character. the Pokemon themselves get slightly different stats which shall be explained later. The reason why these stats are included is because your pokemon can't do everything for you. Sometimes you have to do things yourself in an RPG. CHOOSING YOUR STARTING POKEMON With so many pokemon out there it can be hard to choose sometimes and not everyone has the chance to get a Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle or Pikachu from Professor Oak. On the other side, some pokemon are just to hard to get without already having a pokemon. Common alternate starters are:
Normal: Rattata, Pidgey Bug: Caterpie, Weedle Fire: Growlithe, Vulpix Water: Poliwag, Goldeen Grass: Oddish, Bellsprout
Of course your starters aren't limited to these either...however if you want something from a different region or something that if much rarer (like Dratini) talk to your DM and make a good background on why you have such a rare pokemon. Something like, "I met him when we were little and we're good friends" just doesn't work. Even <I mispelled the main character's name because I'm an idiot>'s pokemon Rocky is special for a reason and working with the DM makes for a better and more fun storyline.

Feel free to use the way I roll stats. 4d6 drop the lowest die and place the rumbers where you like. Realize that the age of your character should reflect your stats. A 12 year old character just isn't going to be running around with an 18 strength.

Ok um I'm going ot roll my stats first then base my character off of that.
So here goes
Name: Brian Age: 17 Description: Tall, thin, wears a hooded travelers cloak overtop of his red t-shirt with a few grey stripes across the stomach. Has blue jeans and wears a simple pair of white and blue running shoes. He has brownish green eyes and shoulder length brown hair cut into a mullet that he occasionally wears as a ponytail tied behind his head.
While not physically the strongest person in the world or the in the best shape, he has amazing balance and is far smarter than he appears. What his plans and decisions lack in common sense they make up for in sheer brilliance. Due to his disregard for such things as common sense he often formulates crazy plans in spire of the extreme danger involved often work due to his unusual brilliance. Some call him crazy and some call him the most brilliant tactician they have ever seen. He likes to spend his spare time building crazy contraptions that rarely ever work like they should, but they all do something. Pokemon seems to like him more than most people do and for the most part it takes little time for them to become comfortable with his unique battling style. He is able to get his pokemon to trust him which may be part of the reason why some of his crazier strategies actually work.
History: Origonally from Pewter city he left to go to Pallet town to get his starter pokemon when he was 12. However he had chosen to stay close to home until recently to help take care of his younger sister. Now that she is old enough to start her own journey he feels it is time to let go and leaves home to try and take the pokemon gym challenge. The local trainers in Pewter city doubt he will make it. They feel that even though he has never lost yet his strategies are too reckless and may one day cost him an important battle.
His Pokemon and a quick summary of how he got them: Squirtle: Recieved it from professor oak when he was twelve. It has yet to evolve.
Spearow: The first pokemon he ever caught, it was very resentful at first but has grown close to its trainer over the last few years.
Abra: A pokemon he only just recently recieved in a trade. It seems to still miss its old trainer and as a result tend to be hesitant about following the crazy plans laid by its new trainer.
Stats Strength: 7 Dexterity: 17 Constitution: 9 Intelligence: 16 Wisdom: 7 Charisma: 14
*I just used a graphing calc to random up these stats by the way but I did drop his wisdom by a couple of points for an extra intelligence and charisma.*

I go by normal limitations. At age 18 a character is unrestricted in statistics. Age 15 a character can have a max Str and Int of 15 Age 13 the Str/Int max is 10/13 (still smarter than your average person) Age 10 the Str/Int limit is 6/8 (the typical average person)
Feel free to place your character sheets here as well.

Well if were doing a 4d6 rolling and just dropping the lowest die that means the max starting for any stat is 18

thanks that make more sence now. Plus I don't have any dice, I'm just going to wing it Name: Razek (of course) Age: 18 (my real age) Height: 6'8" Stats Strength: 17 Dexterity: 18 Constitution: 9 Intelligence: 16 Wisdom: 14 Charisma: 12 I am going to stick with my character I stuck in the fan fic Appearance: img327.imageshack.us/img327/4237/untitled2ed1.png\His hair is blue, black jacket. Grey shirt, Blue pants. Black and blue boots. Personality: Smart butt, does what ever he wants Starter Pokemon: Charmander (of course) How Razek met Charmander: Razek always walked through viridian forest to get to the pokemon school from his home when he was young. He was top of his class. He wanted to be the best trainer in the world. One day he was passing to school when he saw a wild charmander. It looked like a rude pokemon. It had a snarl on it's face, Razek kept on walking and the charmander knowticed him. The charmander started to follow him. Razek started to run but the charmander kept up. Razek turned our "leave me alone, I did not bother you" The charmaner glared at Razek. Razek continued to school and went into the building. After school, the charmander was waiting right out side Razek went up to the charmander "why are you following me, I have nothing for you" Suddenly one of the bigger kids of the class came up behind Razek and shove Razek into the mud. Razek looked back "Hey, why did you do that" The bully laughed "Because your such a nerd, you always get staight A's on every test" Razek glared, the charmander saw how angry Razek was and tackled the bully and stratched aways at him. Razek was laughing, Razek was starting to like the charmander. The bully ran way. Charmander walked up to Razek, Razek made a proposal to charmander "I want to make a deal with you, If you hang with me, I would let you beat up anyone you want" a grin grew on Charmanders face. And from that day on, Razek and charmander became the new bullies of the school. But towards the end of the school year. Razek was kicked out of the acadamy for starting a fight with a teacher and attacking with a pokemon. Razek did not care about being kicked out, he knew all he wanted. Now it was time to become the strongest trainer of all time Other Pokemon: Polywag- traded from a good friend from fuisha (forgot how to spell it) razek sent over a Mankey which is unavailable in that area. Polywag is a very hyper pokemon. It never stays in one spot which makes it hard to hit in battle Eevee (I am not copying you lance)- Razek sister wanted him to take her eevee and train it well. She was not able to take proper care of eevee as a pet. But she knew her brother could take care of eevee and make it strong Hometown: Pewter Town Backpack: 5x ultra balls 3x antidotes 2x super potions 1x thunder stone 1x paralyze heal 2x repels 1x escape rope 3x black glasses (makes pokemon look cool) 2x rare candys 1x mach bike (need for speed)

Just for an Example, I'll give how my NPC (also how I see my character in my Leaf Green version) as an example. No you don't need all this info, but it's good for other people to reference just in case. ^^; Yes there's a lot more info, but these are the basics to get anyone started.

Very cool character Razek I can certainly work with that in a game. The winged stats definately reflect this loner additude ^_^ I'm impressed, it'll be good to see the character develop. Now, just for S's and G's, where did you get the charmender? Out hiking or would you like to gain the pokemon in character?
Lance, please look at the stats and go from there. Also, if you want an Eevee that's fine, but you only get the one beginning Eevee.
