Welcome to the Lorelii Islands. We hope you enjoy your visit.

Lorelii used to be a war torn continent with fighting going back so long that no one even remembered the reasoning for it any more. A lone Shiftry is said to have changed everything, literally splitting the continent into the series of islands there are today and bringing peace to the region. Now that itch to fight is coming back, and it's time to start your journey. The League has only recently reached this collection of islands, and so have you. Catch, train, battle and conquer. Or set up a bakery by the sea. Become a Gym's janitor. Map, chart, explore and become the very best at whatever you want to do.

• How This Site Works •



This site is freeform, which means that you don't need to wait for a moderator to play the role of the Game Master (GM) and control the world around you. You the writer are responsible for creating the universe around you.

To play, when you have a character you must start a thread, give it a name, and start exploring the area you have chosen. You can read the information about the area and look at the map to get inspiration.

At the start of every thread please copy and paste your signature into spoiler tags to give a snapshot of your current party!

Each solo thread must be an absolute minimum of 500 words, but I can't think of a way you'd ever achieve much writing little. The more you write, the more chances you get to hit more criteria for the mod assessing you, meaning more experience, items, and money.

A short transactional thread, of 500 words, during which your Mareep evolves into Flaaffy while you're walking and reading the map, and you look over with eyes brimming with pride and then find the next town...will earn you the absolute minimum from your mod.

A longer thread with engaging description that gets us to feel the salty spray of the sea on our faces, where Jason the Mareep has a quiet battle with an Ursaring while you comically misread your upside-down map and misconstrue his desperate bleating for fatigue, and then finally turn around to see that he has evolved, will earn you some pretty fair rewards.

Remember, we're all story chasers here. It's not just about the game, about levelling and evolving and fighting the Elite Four. In Lorelii it's about transporting yourself to a fictional world. Transport us too!

To earn maximum prizes from your mod the choices are endless. Maybe behind you as you struggle with the incorrect, counterfeit map, your Mareep uncovers a poaching ring and befriends a grisly old Scyther and together they solve the murder of the farmer nearby...

But ultimately you can do pretty much whatever you want!

• Getting Started! •



So you've decided to sign up? That's great, we're lucky to have you.

What you need to do first, is go to the Character Creation area and fill out the easy profile information for your character.

While you're waiting, hop to the Introductions board and introduce yourself! Chat on the cbox, look around at other people's posts, get a feel for the site.

Once your profile has been approved and moved into the profile area, you're free to start your adventure!

You can start anywhere on Honu Island. This starting island is relatively safe and well-trodden by human feet. Help is never too hard to find. For that reason, you're free to explore wherever you'd like.

To get off of Honu Island, though, is a bit trickier for new trainers. The only modes of transport from island to island are personal boats, commercial boats and Wingull-based flight. Scattered around Lorelii are pods powered by smart flocks of Wingull.

To leave this first island you must have pokemon strong enough to protect you from the wild pokemon on any subsequent island. For this safety reason, you will not be allowed to set foot on any island if you haven't earned badges.

(Badges can be earned in any possible order, and only eight are required to challenge the League.)

From there, you are free to travel around Lorelii as you choose! When you're ready and you own 8 shiny badges you can challenge the Pokemon League and become the reigning Champion of Lorelii!

Are you ready?




Posting Checklist


  • Choose an area that you'd like to explore.
  • Check that you are allowed to post in the area you have selected. Do you have the right badges if there is a badge minimum? Have you travelled there logically from where you were before? Have you paid your Wingull?
  • Cool! If you want to play with someone else either mention it on the cbox or post a thread on the RP request board saying what your thread will be about and asking if anyone will join. If more than 1 person may join, specify that.
  • Make your thread, name it anything you like.
  • Copy and paste your signature into spoiler tags at the beginning of the post for a snapshot of your current team.
  • Write your stuff. Follow our lenient but important rules. ;) Keep track of everything you gain and lose. Money, items, amount of battles.
  • If you're stuck on something to happen next in your post, go to the RP Request board and post a reply to the Random Encounter Request thread. Wait for your unique event. This is optional, though, but if you want you can say that you will only capture and battle mod created pokemon to give yourself a more randomised team and make it more gamelike! This could be fun on later playthroughs especially. Use it whenever or however you like. You get 1.5x EXP for a mod-created encounter to reward you for the randomness and the challenge.
  • Finish up your board. Here's a special little clue to you as a treat for reading all of this: you get an extra chunk of Story EXP just for every 500 words you write on a solo thread! Get writing!
  • Post on the Mod Request thread in the RP Request board. Let them know if you want your thread to begin a site-wide Event! Wait for them to claim it and then wait for them to reward it.
  • Check over to ensure that your beautiful and occasionally only human moderator has rewarded you for every battle you've done. Did they skim over the paragraph where Rhydon Mach Punched that Rattata in the alley? You should still get a couple of points for that. Let them know, politely, and wait for confirmation.
  • Pick up all your loot and take it over to Character Advancement. Lay it out for them. Are you going to use Story EXP to buy items or are you going to use it on your pokemon? Double check your maths if like me you suck. When it's approved you can alter your profile.
  • Add it all to your signature.
  • Choose the next area you'd like to explore!

• The Pokemon League! •



What you're all here for! Or...some of you. The cool ones, anyway. Screw catching 'em all, we wanna be Champion, right?

Now, the League is simple, really. It consists of Gyms, the Elite Four, and then the Champion. If you gain eight Gym badges, you are permitted to challenge the Elite Four. If you defeat all four of the E4 in a row without a pause, you may challenge the Champion. If you defeat the Champion, you BECOME the Champion!

The League has two very important purposes in Lorelii, as in most regions.

Firstly, the League is a moneymaker. The government gets a hell of a lot of money from people buying tickets to watch matches. It is covered by all major networks and is the most-watched show on television at all times. Strong trainers who take part in the league are celebrities, whether minor or major, and idolised by many. Important matches in history create landmarks, and the more tourists a region gets, the more well-off it tends to be.

Secondly, the League is a way to keep tabs on its strongest residents. If something terrible were to happen, you'll note that when signing up for the League and getting your Dex and your first badge, the small print you signed basically conscripted you to defend the region against major attacks. This means that the government tends to call on the Champion, Gym leaders, Elite Four and any other famous trainers to aid the rangers with their strong pokemon.

To challenge a Gym you must have at least one level 10 pokemon on your team.

You can do a Gym battle as a fully modded thread, in which case you will start a thread on the Gym's subboard and wait for your mod (feel free to poke in the cbox if you get no reply for a while) and they will play the leader and their pokemon. You will not be able to control any aspect of this match other than your character and pokemon.

You can now alternatively do a Gym as a semi-modded thread. This rule was introduced mostly for periods where mods are particularly busy, or if you just feel like writing more as a solo activity and maybe getting it done faster. To do this, head to the random encounter request section of the site and make it clear that you want to face the Gym leader. The mod will then post every tactic, move and pokemon the leader chooses to utilise. You will then incorporate all of these decisions into your battle. To do this, you'll need to post what you have so far for the mod to read, post by post as if it were a modded thread, and return to the random encounter request section (if a mod isn't jumping quickly enough to respond.) It is also VERY important to note our Battle Synopsis rule if you go this route. You must clearly put every move you used in each round in spoiler tags at the end of your post.

You must have four fully completed threads between Gym challenges if you defeated the last Gym. If it's a rematch because you lost, only one full thread before your next challenge is required. Get training!

In the future it will be possible to apply for the position of an Elite Four member.

• Mega Evolution •



This may change in the future but for now this is how Mega Evolution will occur.

Once you have acquired your third Gym Badge, you may travel to get your Key Stone. A Key Stone can be acquired, currently, from three areas that will be further determined later - the Headquarters of our separate three teams. If you already belong to one, acquiring is simple - just ask your superior in your next thread! If you do not belong to a team and do not plan to, you must find another way. You should either ask them and offer to do a difficult job in exchange, or you can try to steal one!

The three headquarters are currently Tectana Island: Worcesterleigh City (Team Argent), Honu Island: Honu City: Honu Catacombs (Secret 77), and Balsa Island: Flaur Village (Lorekeepers).

Once you have acquired your Stone, you must decide how you want to set it! Do you want a Mega Bracelet, Mega Watch, Mega Headphones, Mega Earrings, Mega Knuckleduster, Mega Eyepatch, I could go on forever! The Stone is roughly golf-ball size, so decide which setting you would like and add your Mega Item to your profile!

Now - you must also give your mega the correct 'ite' Mega Stone to hold. To achieve that you must complete a Super Dungeon!

Now you have your stone and your mega evolution items. A mega evolution lasts roughly the duration of a battle or encounter, and they cannot do it again for roughly the duration of another battle or encounter. Only one pokemon can be mega evolved at once because your Stone is linked to only one at a time. Enjoy your new more powerful pokemon forms!
