Pokémon Team Guide
You got your starter and you're ready to establish your team and open up for recruitment? Congratulations!
In order to establish your team, you will need to develop an area for your team to operate out of, and in doing so, hopefully create more room for more Pokémon!
Using art and writing, complete all the prompts under the rank you are at in order to reach the next one!
~~~
>>>All tasks and rescue team points must be completed before you can move on to the next Rank.
>>>Written scenes that are going to contribute to your rank must be 500 words or more.
>>If you roleplay the scenes with others, the entire roleplay should add up to 600 words (At the minimum of 3 posts of 100 words each)
>>>Drawn scenes must be cleanly lined, flat colored, with a simple background and all Pokémon should be recognizable.
>>If collaborating with others, each player's character must be visible, with both parties equally contributing to an image.
~~~
>>>Poke-Grade Points are how experienced Pokémon on current mission can be.
>>PGP are determined by the rank your team has reached, starting at 1 at rank 0
>>A Pokémon at base evolution begins at grade 1, the second evolution is grade 2, the third evolution is grade 3.
>Baby Pokémon are also considered grade 1
>>When creating art or writing for a mission, the Pokémon present cannot have a Grade Point higher than your allotted total Grade Points.
>Example: Tepig and Steelix could not be in an image for a mission for a team of Normal Rank, as Steelix has two Grade Points for being evolved and Tepig has one Grade Point for being basic. Thats three Grade Points and Normal Rank only allots 2 Grade Points per mission. Steelix could go by itself, or Tepig and an Onix could go.

>>>Rescue Team Points are earned by performing missions and jobs by the Pokémon in your team.
>>You must achieve the amount of RTP before you can move on to the next Rank
