【 F.A.Q 】
>Do I need to have watched or played pokemon to join?
No, however we would like you to at least have a little understanding about the
pokemon you chose to create as your character such as their type, weaknesses
and moveset you chose etc...
>Does my character have to be a certain type to live in a kingdom?
There are types that are more common in each seasons kingdom, however they
do not have to be one of these. However if they are not one of the main
types for that season, please explain why they might be there.
>Can my first character be a shiny, legendary or mega-evolution?
Yes, there is no limit on shiny character per members, with each member getting
three characters. However each member may only have one legendary or mega-evolution
character.
>Can I have the same pokemon as another member?
Yes you may, there is a limit of two members having the same pokemon in the group. However legendaries are limited to only one per species, so if someone already has it, nobody else can make the same one.
>Can one of my next characters be from a different kingdom than the first?
Yes your second, third, fourth and fifth characters don't have to be from the same
kingdom as your first one.
>How many years has it been since the war?
Approximately 14 years have passed since the war and current time in the group.
>How long did the war last and what were the casualties?
The war lasted for 2 years, from the time the Autumn kingdom stole the power from the tree of life, to when the Spring kingdom United the other kingdoms to bring back peace. During the war, poverty and wealth changed in each kingdom gradually until all the seasons began to be thrown into chaos, some changing in size. Many died in the fight to attempt taking back the tree of life and the Autumn kingdom was required to pay taxes to each of the kingdoms were able to rebuild, still having to pay the Spring kingdom to this day.
>Do I have to be 18+ years old to join the group?
No, the group is labelled 18+ to give people a bit of a heads up/warning, in case they aren't okay with this sort of thing. However you don't have to be 18+ to join.
>When I send my Join request, do I link the application in stash or uploaded?
When you send the Join request please send a link to the uploaded
version of your application. This way we can add the application to the
group straight away when you get accepted.
>Can my character lean TMs?
Yes, however unlike in the game, TMs will be scrolls, with past information listed
On teachings and how to use such moves instead.
>Can I change my reservation after I have made it?
Yes you can, a reservation isn't set in stone, so it doesn't affect the group
In any way.
>Can I remove my character and make a new reservation after joining?
Yes, however this can only be done once and if you wish to have your old character back, this can only be done once as well.
>Are mega evolution legendary Pokemon allowed?
Yes, however they are reserved under legendary Pokemon because they are still a legendary Pokemon before a mega evoltion. This is done because it would be unfair for one person to take both a legendary and mega evolution spot with one reservation, this way it still allows the mega evolution spot to stay available.
>Can my character evolve or become a mega after joining?
Normally no, however there will be future events where this can be requested/done as either; part of the event, or a prize option.
>How young could a character be if they participated in the past war?

18397 years ago since the present day of the group.
