[LFP][Pokemon Tabletop United] Pokemon: Venture & Valor; Looking for 1-2 players; Played Mondays, 4:30pm CST

Hello, we're a group looking to play a game using the Pokemon Tabletop United system. At present, we've got our GM and a few players. This game will place on Monday evenings at 4:30pm CST, and the basic premise of the campaign involves exploring a custom made region (the massive, untamed island of Eden) that will have the variety of climates, locations, and adventures one would expect from a Pokemon game. The tone we'll be aiming for is for a more realistic, grounded version of the pokemon setting, with a fleshed out world- including moments of levity, and more intense parts, but not leaning too far in either direction. We are a roleplay heavy group, focusing more so on inter-character relationships with both player characters and npc's (entire sessions without combat aren't uncommon in other campaigns we've all played in).While this campaign won't focus on combat, there will be opportunities to flex your mechanical aptitude. We're more than happy to accept players who're new to the system- we already have multiple players who're learning it. Selection process : 1) Please make a post below, with a maximum of 400 words about what you are looking for in the game- the experience, the content, etc.  2) We'll contact you through PMs to have a chat through text on Discord over the week. 3) We'll do interviews with our final picks with the whole group during the game's timeslot. We'll send messages to anyone we don't pick, letting them know so. Thank you for reading! (Note: I'm not the GM of the game, I'm simply making the post on his behalf, as he's busier in the week)
Why do I like the idea of pokemon tabletop... easy, I'm 27, and Pokemon defined my childhood. As kids who didn't want to ever be able to roleplay being in that vast, crazy, universe so you could leave the real-world and enter fantasy? Started playing as a youngster on a black and white gameboy (Yellow) and still play off and on now (Sun&Moon). A game like this especially played with people who share the same interest sounds pretty rad, and I'd be down to play if another player is needed!

From how you're describing the campaign, I'm definitely interested! I'm Ana, 19, from the Netherlands (the timezone isn't a problem btw, I have a lot of free time on my hands). I've been playing Pokémon since I was 4 years old, started with the third generation, and I've played pretty much every main title game and spin-off since. I also did a lot of competitive battling during the 6th generation, mostly on pokemonshowdown. I already have a pretty solid grasp on the system (I was the GM in a 4 session one-shot I did with a couple of friends) and I've been playing tabletop games a little over 2 years now. As for what I'm looking for in a game, I'm looking for a very roleplay heavy campaign, because I really enjoy making a fun, dynamic character that can bounce off the other PCs in a campaign. I like combat as well, but my focus is mostly on the roleplay aspect. I already have an idea about the character I want to play (her trainer class, her personality, etc), so I could join the game fairly quickly. Anyway, I hope I'll be able to play in your game and if not, I hope you find another player for your campaign! (also, my discord tag is Phosphollite#9015)
Oh man this sounds awesome but have never played PTU but I really wanna learn!!!
Hello! I'm Stiles, I've only started playing tabletop games in the last few months and I've absolutely fallen in love with the type of storytelling it allows. I’m 24 and based in the Eastern time zone so timing works out perfect for me. I grew up with the Pokemon anime and have played through every generation (several times). I’m sure like most people interested, Pokemon has been my childhood and it hasn’t ever stopped. I’m less familiar with PTU as a system but I’ve already found the manual and I’m a quick learner, so I hope that doesn’t detract from anything. As far as what I’m looking for: I’d love to join an open-minded, friendly, and relaxed group of people to experience a Pokemon journey with. A group of people who can all bond over our mutual love of Pokemon and become friends in life and in game as we go through this together. Heavy roleplay like you advertised is more than okay with me. In my 5E games I tend to enjoy a balance of roleplay and combat but seeing as how this would me being able to live out the Pokemon journeys I’ve played through and watched on tv since I was wee little, getting to roleplay all of these aspect with my companions and NPCs is absolutely perfect. While I do plan on living vicariously through my character, I plan on bringing every amount of creative storytelling and immersive character building that I put into my other characters as a writer. Truth be told, battling in Pokemon games has never been my focus but rather I feel a very fond connection to the Pokemon I train and raise in the video games so that would be my focus rather than being someone who wants to battle every person they see. I’m not against joining a shorter campaign, as you’ve mentioned before that you have played through previous campaigns, but I’d love to become a member of something that you plan on continuing for a while. I plan on doing some reading on PTU and understanding the system a lot better and I hope to hear back from you soon and hopefully join your group! -Stiles
This sounds fun, i'm a new PTU player and i would like to start playing, i like to interact with players and npcs, i have no problem in the game not having a battle focus, as i mostly play non battle focused characters (though i'm no stranger in making adventurers). I'm from Italy, i'm 25 and i absolutely love pokemon (especially fluffy ones), sadly i'm not a man of many words, but i think i'm a decent rper.  My Discord is lokil93#3406
