This prestigious school offers young Trainers their first
Pokémon, teaches them the ins and outs of being a good
Pokémon Trainer, and sets them on the path to their Pokémon
goal, whether it be a Master, Coordinator, Breeder, or
Professor! Work hard and persevere: the Academy will return
whatever you put into! Please fill out the application below and
submit it to be considered for entrance. A copy of the rules are
provided below as well: you may read them in the meantime of
your application being accepted, or you may wait until you are

1. Behave appropriately. Flaming, trolling, and being disrespectful
to another member or staff is completely prohibited.
Excessively crude humor is forbidden. Be kind and courteous
to all of your fellow Guildmates. You are all fellow human beings.

2. This is a PG-13 Guild, as we strive to be accessible to a wide
swath of Pokémon fans. Relationships are allowed and
encouraged, but anything more graphic than a make-out
session must be time-skipped. This Guild does not condone
Poképhilia and it is expressly forbidden. Cursing is allowed.
Excessive foul language is unnecessary and forbidden.
Using racial or sexual slurs is completely intolerable, and
will result in an immediate ban and a report.

3. This is a literate level RolePlaying Guild. You will be expected
to know the rules and etiquette of RolePlaying and follow them
well. Should you need a refresher, a well-formatted copy of the
Anti-Munch Project is available here.

4. On that note: be literate! You are (probably) a fluent English
speaker, and, if you hadn't noticed so far, this is an English-
speaking Guild. You are also more than likely to at least
have had three or four years of English classes, and you
must be able to write with proper spelling and grammar to
participate in this RolePlay. If staff or another member see you
using improper spelling or grammar consistently, they are well
within their rights to (respectfully) correct you.

5. This RolePlay is formatted in the third-person past
tense, like most pieces of literature. I'm hoping that, as you
are a native English speaker, you know what the third person
and past tense are.

6. Obey the staff! They are here to help you, and to ensure the
rules are followed so that the RolePlay remains fun for everyone.
Disrespect to a staff member will result in a warning. Further
disrespect will result in punishment equivalent to your disrespect.

7. Perhaps a little cliché, but have fun! That's the whole point of RolePlaying!

The rules may seem like a lot, but it really boils down to being a
considerate person! Just be nice to your fellow Guildmates and
RolePlay well, and you should be just fine!
