If you are not a friend or not directly invited by someone into this world do not ask to join. This is an invite only world. It is not an ARPG. It is simply a lore group about PMD run by my friends and I.
NOTE: When submitting a pokemon, be sure to make it clear what guild they're in, or if they're outside of the guilds! Be it a message in the world request, a tag on them, etc!
The Beginning
No humans/trainers exist in this world. Humans are mostly a legend in this world, however it isn't unheard of to find a human turned Pokemon and sent into this world. No one really knows why there's an odd abundance of them.
The main premise behind this world is one styled after the PMD games. Pokemon working together in guilds and in villages, running shops and the like. There are four main guilds that reside in this world. When a young Pokemon reaches a certain age, they are permitted to choose one of them to train under. While it is the Pokemon's own choice, many have their families pick for them or simply follow in their family's pawsteps. It's often unheard of for someone to directly go against their family's wishes, but it does happen.
25 years ago, it was said that before the guilds the world was chaos. Pokemon stole from fellow Pokemon, attacked each other over something as small as one Oran berry. Most Pokemon lived on their own, but some would form small packs of their own kind (Umbreons grouped together, Furfrou grouped together, etc). Fighting, more than usual for a Pokemon, was commonplace and many ended up injured. In this world, the weak struggled to keep themselves fed and in good shelter.
The two legendaries that watched over this world, Xerneas and Yveltal, saw the pain and suffering of this universe and to four different species of pokemon they sent a message via their dreams. They were to all come in peace to the huge lake in the middle of their world, to listen to what the legendaries had to say. Among them came a Mightyena/Umbreon, a Granbull/Flareon, a Girafarig/Sylveon, and a Hoppip/Eevee. The lot happened to already be either friends or quite open and understanding to other Pokemon species. The legendaries explained that the turmoil in this world had to come to an end, and instructed each mon to gather others to join them in creating guilds. These guilds would be places to live and train and work together for the betterment of everyone.
The Guilds
Heartstone Guild run by sylvender
The Mightyena/Umbreon, an elderly Pokemon named Ymir, was the founder of the Heartstone Guild, a primarily rescue team focused guild that also doubled as a home for any Pokemon without it, as well as a general care center. While all guilds have designated places to heal Pokemon, the Heartstone Guild's focus on it is twice as strong, and the guild prides itself on being one of the most welcoming and safe guilds out there. Members of this guild most often believe in selflessness and giving to others. The guild is located in the middle of the worlds biggest town, nearby a large pine forest. The items you can find in this town consist of medicines, elixirs, and vitamins.
Gravelrock Guild run by VictorBirdeh
The Granbull/Flareon, named Zero, was the founder of the Gravelrock Guild, a guild focused on training and building. Most large structures in their town and others are thanks to this guild and you'll find the strongest Pokemon have almost all come from this guild. The town the guild is located in rests in a large canyon, the town being the most advanced out of all the others with lots of tall buildings, pulley systems, and even small devices called communicators (they are steel grey, round little watch like items that allow Pokemon to speak to their teammates if far away or their guild leaders) originated from this guild. The items you can find here are mostly throwing stones and glasses.
Golden Dew Guild run by Shadowmoon1
The Girafarig/Sylveon, named Peony, was the founder of the Golden Dew Guild, a guild focused on exploration of new areas and treasure hunting. This guild is also where most of the worlds money and valuables are kept, and is known as a hotspot for thieves and other criminals. The guild and town rests along the coastline, boats being the often main means of travel to and from it and pirates being common as well. Items such as orbs, ribbons, and wands are commonplace team items here.
Sparkling Oran Guild run by PURPURC4T
The last guild, known as the Sparkling Oran Guild, is led by the youngest of the guild leaders, a Hoppip/Eevee named Bean. Though young, Bean is quick thinking and puts the needs of his town and guild over himself. He may be young, but he is hard working and willing to do what is right. The guild focuses on farming and gardening, The items you can find in this town are primarily food based, such as berries, gummies, and seeds.
