Information on my RPG: This is a 4th Generation remake of Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness and Pokemon Stadium.
Not much is known about the mysterious organization of Team Soulless, other than their mysterious connection with what's been going on with the Pokemon in the region of Ovar.
The door to these Pokemon's hearts have been sealed away by what is believed to be a horrible virus. They are now relentless fighting machines that even attack humans. Only with compassion can they return to their regular form.
You have recently obtained your first Pokemon - a Riolu. Little do you know of the great task you will hold on your shoulders, of the great adventure that will soon unfold...
With your friends always by your side, and enemies at every turn, you go forth to discover the secret behind Team Soulless, and what they are really planning...
In-game elements: Shadow Pokemon can be detected by the Shadow Gauntlet, which is obtained by West at the beginning of the RPG. The Shadow Gauntlet will change Poke Balls into Shadow Balls, which allow you to capture Shadow Pokemon. You will never find a wild Shadow Pokemon, except in the last chapter of the RPG.
Shadow Pokemon, when captured, only know Shadow Rush, which will hit them with a bit of recoil. Exp is replaced with a Heart Gauge. As you walk around with them and train them, the Heart Gauge decreases. As it decreases, they will begin to remember moves. You can also buy three different kinds of Scents, which will decrease the meter a little, an average amount, or a whole lot, respectively. When the meter is empty, they can be 'cured' of the Shadow Virus at the Ancient Relic in Eldarbor Town or the Ovar Science, Inc. Curing Machine at any PC.
Sometimes, instead of attacking, Shadow Pokemon will enter Hypermode. In Hypermode, the critical hit ratio of Shadow Rush greatly increases, but the Pokemon in Hypermode cannot use items, such as potions or status healers. Also, in Hypermode, they have a small chance to disobey the user. They will either use a different move, use a held item without permission, actually attack the user or opposing trainer, or force you to switch out by returning to its Poke Ball (which is very annoying).

Sign-up Template:
Name: 3 to 8 letters. No profanity. If you want to be a Team Soulless Admin, your name needs to reflect what type of Pokemon you use. For example, if you're a Water-type user, your name could be Liqui. If you're a Ground-type user, maybe Doug.
Age: 5-year-olds or 18-year-olds should not be using Pokemon. Be smart!
Gender: Male or Female. No genderless robots or anything like that.
Appearance: Again, no profanity with clothing or lack of said clothing. *shudders*
Description: This should reflect the person's personality and favorite style of Pokemon battling.
Pokemon: At least 2. Levels vary with how far in the RPG you want your characters to appear in.
General Information: Optional. This should be a summary. We don't want a billion-paragraph essay here.
Characters reserved by me:
Soulless Emperor Vincent
Generic Trainers and/or Soulless grunts
Other Stuff: There will be 5 to 10 chapters depending on how fast the RPG is finished. I will end the chapter when I sense a good cliffhanger coming up.
Like the RPG, no amazing, all-powerful items that make your Pokemon totally devastating.
Try not to control what other characters say or do too often. Only if it is vital to the story.
Please ask questions if you are unsure about something, because I'm trying to get things straightened out here. The actual RPG will be posted eventually.
