Beginner RP: Front Gate

National Park Beginner Run​

Welcome to the National Park! In response to how overwhelming a new forum can be, we've developed a miniature run to introduce new players to the Park gently. For an easy Start-up Guide, click here.

One of the biggest problem new players face is how hard it is to obtain their first few Pokemon. The Park can be hard right out the gate because many players can't evolve their starters right away or obtain a second mon. In this run, we're fixing that! For this type of run, it's not vital to have your starter evolved or even have a second Pokemon.

Instead, we'll set up a small run at a discounted price. We'll even give you supplies. All you have to do is bring your mons, pay a small entry fee, and roleplay!

The run will consist of five encounters in any area the player chooses. A player may capture as many as they want, but they can only leave with one when the run is over. All of the encountered Pokemon will be of the Common Rank, as an introduction to how the Park works. A player will also be handed a starter kit with 3 Park Balls, 1 Energy Powder, 1 Lava Cookie, and 1 Pokedoll. Any items not used can be kept and used on your next run.

As an added bonus, you can use these types of runs to evolve your Pokemon one stage! If you complete all 5 encounters without leaving the Park early, your Pokemon will automatically gain all the points needed to evolve once. This means that if you have a mon that only evolves once, like a Magikarp, you'll be fully evolved when the run ends. For Pokemon who evolve twice, like Charizard, you would be able to walk out of the run with a Charmeleon. Feel free to RP this on the last encounter if you wish!

As this is a run designed for new players, only those within two months of their join date can participate. Also, any new players that have already participated in a normal run are not eligible for this one.

For more Park information, take a look at the Encyclopedia.

Trainer Name: Kyle Lowe
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Personality: He comes from a small family and grew-up quickly, as a result he developed a rather serious attitude and is sometimes a cold man to the people around him, though not disrespectful. He often finds himself acting humorless and crass towards people as he tends to see them as careless. His demeanor changes around his pokèmon, whom he is very patient and doting towards.
Description: A somewhat pale man of average height, with messy medium-length hair. Dresses casually but prefers to wear boots rather than sneakers, and almost always wears a black knitted sweater. Carries a set of glasses but rarely wears them even though he is far-sighted, which often allows Harry, his Mime Jr., to set up pranks and traps in his way.
