Ok, to every good game there has got to be some rules. So here they are.
About Joining
First off you have to e-mail me with your real name, your e-mail address you want to use, and your starting pokemon, for starting pokemon you may choose:
Bulbasaur!
Squirtle!
Charmander!
or Pikachu!
And Specify their attacks, up to 5 please, I will eventually post a list of attacks and if certain pokemon can use them.
You will get a conformation letter from me so don't start playing until you get it.
About Leveling
Ok, whenever you fight your pokemon and win, your pokemon will go up one level. Your start pokemon start at level 5. As they level they will get stronger and have a better chance of winning.
On Purchases
Everytime you win you will recieve 1000 pokebucks, which can be used to buy items, or new pokemon. You should best save your money for better pokemon, but remember, all pokemon come at either levels 5, 10, or 15, only some will come higher then that, you have to do the work to level them. When you want to buy, just e-mail me. Or tell Lord_Garfield on the pokemon irc site.
The FIGHTS!
Ok, like all good poketrainers you have to fight your pokemon to get it stronger, you will likely not win all the fights you pick, but you will win some. For winning, you get 1000 pokebucks, and all the pokemon that delivered fatal blows will level up 1 level. The money can be used to buy TMs for skills, or new pokemon, special pokemon will only be on sale during certian times and for very high cost.

Only the best ever see the Elite Four, and only the very best have ever witnessed the face of the grand master
One you challenge one Elite Four, you will fight the other 3 in rapid sucession, only once you recieve an elite medal will you have rights to challenge the Grand Master

The Rankings
There are a total of 4 ranks achivable, other then the standard trainer rank. They are as follows:
Grand Master
The Grand Master governs every single trainer, he has the power of life, death, and punishment over all, disobayment means death.
The Elite Four
The Elite Four, the highest ranking achivable other then Grand Master. The Elite Four are the greatest challenge to all trainers, they get orders from the Grand Master.
Master Trainer
There are unlimited ranks to recieve the master trainer rank. Anyone can recieve this award, usually given for outstanding achivement or breakthroughs in Pokemon training, usually given by the Elite Four.
Gym Trainers
