Bob and Charmander wakled on to route one an dlooked 4 pkmn. Lyk Zapadoz.

Now, that is overdoing it a bit, and the posts are both rather short for entrance posts, but do you see the general difference?

If you’re not roleplaying it's okay, but please, even there, keep it to a minimum.
It makes it easier on everyone, and makes you look better. It takes about a half a second longer. So what have you got to lose?

These really are depressing to explain – really, if you’re on a semi-literate site, you should know. However, if you happen to be an amazingly talented writer whom has never roleplayed before, just pm me and I'll let you know =)
Flaming, here, refers to flaming of the roleplayer. It is okay to flame other characters IN CHARACTER. Flaming someone’s character as yourself, out of character, is just as bad as flaming them personally. I understand having tempers. Everyone has them. Just keep it in check. Look over what you’re typing before pressing Enter and everyone will stay nice and happy.

However, they can learn it eventually! Body language is usually understood through all species, as well. Don’t be afraid to try out a nice game of charades with your team!
Once you reach the not-so-humble city of Melodark, the sage there can give you herbs if you complete his quest that, when eaten, will allow to you be completely bilingual. As an extra special bonus feature, you will ALSO be able to fluently speak, as well as understand every language! That includes everything from English to Chinese to PokéSpeak to Dutch to ancient Greek! So you can have full conversations with your Pokémon after reaching Melodark and have completed the sage's quest and confuse people who haven’t completed it!
If you are a PokéMorph, you understand PokéSpeak from the beginning. See below for more information.
If you have admin permission, your character can start out understanding your Pokémon's PokéSpeak. They cannot, however, understand wild Pokémon or the Pokémon of another trainer until they speak to the sage.

Your signature cannot stretch the page! If it does, the admins will delete your signature and increase your warning level for one week. As a reference, our board's width is 728 pixels, and your signature will not be stretching across the entire section.
It must have a link to your character's PC. This is extremely helpful to mods when determining how wild Pokemon and trainers react to individual Pokemon, what level to make them and to determine the attacks and levels gained at the end of battles.
Please do not have any sparkling or large font, or more than two images - unless they are trainer cards. For slower monitors, those can take forever to load.

PokéMorphs are allowed, but only with permission as of right now. If you are a PokéMorph, you can use your abilities anywhere besides battles. You will not have levels or attacks besides HM moves. For example, if you are a bird morph, you can learn the move Fly yourself and fly wherever you've already been. Granted, being half-bird could cause problems with training...
As a PokéMorph with extra powers and a generally cool appearance, as well as being capable of understand PokéSpeak as soon as you begin instead of having to complete the sage's quest, only the most literate and/or active members of the site will be allowed to have a character who is a PokéMorph.
If you receive permission to be a PokéMorph, it is advised that you be the final stage of the Pokémon. As mentioned above, you cannot train nor gain levels; you are what you are, and there is no changing that.
No legendary morphs are allowed unless I announce that we are looking for one. They will sometimes be necessary for plots, and other times, it will be because we simply feel like being generous.
