PHASES

[/font]
NO levels in Ziel.[/center]

EVERY TRAINER MUST BEGIN AT PHASE ONE!
In the regions and lands of Ziel and the pokemon world there are NO levels. Now, how can there be no levels? Well, we use something different than levels, something that doesn't take completely forever to become strong. In this board you have titles ranks called "Phases". Phases are like levels, but they're like periods or stages, kinda like on big level. There are a total of five Phases. And depending on Phases pokemon can evolve or learn moves. A trainer and their pokemon (PC pokemon included) can grow into other phases while posting more and more. Now, here I don't allow cheating in Phases. So, your post count ONLY increases when you post in roleplaying areas such as Karnavia City and more.

Canons work differently. Some specific canons are already at high phases while some don't need phases because they have titles like the Thrones. Examples of strong trainer canons would be Red, Gold, Sapphire, and Platinum.

Phase one -0 to 24 posts- Phase one is a beginner stage. All pokemon obey fairly, except third stage evolution pokemon are unusable at all and any second stage pokemon or ones received in trades below Phase two obey half or more of your commands.

Phase two -25 to 49 posts- Phase moves more into a quite more skilled trainer stage. Stage two evolution pokemon fairly obey your commands, but pokemon in trades still obey you half of the time. Third evolution pokemon are still unusable.

Phase three -50 to 99 posts- Stage one pokemon obey fully with no doubt, stage two pokemon fairly obey your commands and third stage evolution pokemon obey half of your commands. Those in trades fiarly obey you or not depending on their evolution stage.

Phase four -100 to 199 posts- All stage pokemon obey you fairly and almost fully well. Only those in trades still have trouble listening to you. Legendary pokemon are unusable.

Phase five -200 posts and up- All pokemon fully whether traded or not obey you including legendary ones.

ETC.

Your pokemon are able to use any moves that they can learn at all levels in their own evolution stage. This means that if you have a Prinplup, it can use all the moves it knows as a Prinplup but it can't use any moves it can learn as Empoleon. Also, pokemon cannot use TM moves unless that TM is used on them. The TM simply adds more moves to the list of choices. A pokemon can use four of all the moves they can use per thread. They can use different moves for different threads.
