The process for joining CG is rather simple. We like to make our forum easy to join and get adventuring.
The First step is to create an account with our forum. Done simply by clicking the "Register" button on the top right side of the screen.
From there we are all tempted to jump in, make an application, and get going...STOP. Before joining we ask that you read the sticky threads
"The Story Thus Far"
"CG Battle Mechanics"
"Rules"
Once you complete the reading feel free to go grab the application codes and begin filling it out. A few things of note:
-play-bys are to be anime or cartoon characters only. A play-by reference for your character is not necessary, but it looks nice.(See Rules)
-All pokemon are to be accompanied by the correct sprite when sprites are appropriate. Simply Google "-pokemon name- sprite" and it should yield results. Bookmark it for later use or set up some kind of free, quick-linking photo hosting account like Photobucket or Imagur. With ready-to-export BBC coding given to you by using a site like this, it makes adding images to your posts much easier in the long run.
-Make sure your characters and their pokemon reasonably match where they are in their lives. We don't care if you have six pokemon yet or not, or even want to bother with six, but getting your first badge with a Dragonite after slaughtering all the Youngsters rattata is a little out there unless your application justifies it. Which leads to...
-Make the character you want to play today, not a year from now. If you want to make a powerful skilled trainer, do it. If you want no pokemon and wanna just sell fish and chips wearing nothing but a barrel, suspenders and a Magikarp hat in the hope of becoming rich, do it. CG does not regulate what pokemon you find and catch other than make sure if you have a pokemon it's appropriate for the journey your character has taken and no mythic, individual legendary pokemon unless approved by admins.
-Gym leader and Elite Four positions are game canon, but if you wanna be one you can always apply as long as it is not your first character on CG. Exceptions may be made for gym leader positions if the application is very strong.
So your application is done. What now?
WAIT
The admins will review your application and approve it or inform you of what needs to be changed in a timely manner. If you have not been approved in 48 hours send us a PM and we will get on it.
Once approved you are free to play as you like.
-Be sure to add any pokemon not in your current team into your PC and if you are using them simply make a note on that pokemon in the PC stating it is in your party and pokemon "x" is now in its place.
-if you have not received a invitation to the tournament(See Rules). Just start roleplaying somewhere else. If you feel like you have earned a spot PM us and we will consider you.
Thanks all
