[OoC] - Hello everyone. This is the forum Moderators here with a little announcement for you.
Have you ever aspired to be a Gym Leader? Are you sick of traveling around the world? Do you wish there more battles in your life? Well now you can get your wish!

This announcement is to be used as a guide for anyone wishing to open up your own gym. There are of course rules and guidelines you must follow.

1. You must open your own thread to make yourself a gym. Please don't post your gym in someone else's thread.
2. You are creating a brand new Gym. You cannot become the owner of a current Gym. Yours is a brand new Gym that is newly sanctioned by the Pokemon League.
3. Your Gym has to be located in your own brand new location. Not only do you have to open a new Gym, you have to create a brand new town or location that doesn't previously exist.
4. Your opening post must detail the setting of your gym as well as any other important information. Describe your gym, your Pokemon line up, your gym badge, everything.
5. Your gym is mainly for you than anyone else. This isn't really an RP you are making for others to join. This is so that if you are bored waiting to post in the Main RP, you can come post a NPC battle with someone challenging you for a gym badge in the mean time. Other RPers can duel you here but it's mainly just for you.
6. All Pokemon are maxed out. All Pokemon you own are max level, know every move you want them to know, are already evolved to where you want them... your Pokemon are finished.
7. Stick to a single line up. You are a Gym Leader. You should use the same set of Pokemon against everyone. Pick a line up and stick to it.
8. The gym leader has to release his Pokemon first and the challenger gets the first attack. The advantage is given to the challenger. If the gym leader releases his Pokemon first, it gives the edge to the challenger to decide which Pokemon is best to start with. Also only the challenger is allowed switch out Pokemon.

((This is a work in progress. Rules may be added or changed for some time.))
