Here is where you'll find the rules of the RP, as well as information on the Aina Region and other basic setting information. Needless to say, you'll want to read everything in here.

The mods aren't perfect. We do occasionally miss or forget threads that need to be modded. If we do, use this board to bring that to our attention. Please be sure to read the rules within first.

Accepted characters will be moved here.

This is your custom PC box system. Keep track of your Pokemon and Items here, as well as anything else you want.

Here, trainers can find areas and equipment that can be used for training their Pokemon. Space is limited, however, so only one Pokemon can be trained here at a time.

Trading machines are available in each Pokemon Center, found here.

Rather than a daycare run by a single old couple, professional breeders across the region have opened breeding centers associated with each town's Pokemon Center.

Lots of requests come in from around the region. Normally, they're the domain of the Pokemon Rangers or the local police, but occasionally some of them are posted as missions here. The board can be found at any Pokemon Center.

Sub-board: Special Missions

The central station and headquarters for the Aina Region's police force.

Although not as big as cities on the mainland or even the nearby Halawai region, Lani City’s downtown still looks the part: tall buildings, dense, crowded streets, and stores and restaurants packed with tourists and locals alike.

Sub-board: Lani Backstreets

The business areas of Lani City are a mix of the old and the new. While major chain stores and modern business are popping up all over, many areas of the city remain true to their roots: locally-owned businesses promoting Aina-made products. They’re becoming fewer and farther between by the day, though.

As the Aina region’s largest city, Lani City naturally also has the highest population. Its residential neighborhoods are spread out all over, and generally more laid back and less dense than the commercial areas.

A large stadium containing multiple arenas for Pokemon battles. It's mostly used for tournaments and events, although trainers can have their own battles in here when it's not in use.

Although far from the largest or busiest airport in the world, Lani Airport is the shortest and easiest way on and off the island. The terminal is mostly open to the air, allowing new arrivals to catch the fresh island breeze immediately after landing. The Flying Gym is also located here.

As one of two cities on the West Side, Moana City gets a lot of traffic from tourists and locals alike. Only small parts of the city have gone through the same sort of modernization as Lani and Kahakai, so most of it still has a traditional Aina flair. It has a large marina, a bustling shopping district, and enough to do to satisfy almost anyone passing through. The Water Gym can be found here.

The city itself is small, but Kahakai Resort City has the highest number of beach resorts in the region. Whether you're coming here on vacation, to visit the beach, for easy access to Moana City, or even just to challenge the Ground Gym, there's plenty to do here.

A small town marking the halfway point along the Hapuu Highway. Its main draw is the large number of berry plants growing around it, but the Bug Gym is also here.

It’s not the end that matters, but the journey. Such is the case with Hapuu Town, a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it town only notable for marking the end of the Hapuu Highway. It does have the Grass Gym, at least.

The route leading out of Hapuu Town and to Ahi Town is still heavily forested, but not as dense or as difficult to travel as the Hapuu Highway. It gets its name from the frequency of both rain and harsh sunlight, and the tendency to switch between the two at a moment’s notice.

Sub-boards: Red Sand Beach, Sacred Pools

A community at the southeast end of the island. Ahi Town covers a wide area, but is sparsely populated. It sits at the very edge of the rainforest, with part of it being forested area and part being open plains. The plains are dominated by lava rocks from the edge of a lava flow running all the way up Mount Sunrise. The Fire Gym is also located here.

Named for the jagged lava flow it runs across, A’a Trail is a rough road running along the south side of the island. Apart from narrow roads and treacherous passes, the trail is dangerous for the harsh sunlight and occasional sandstorm in the area.

Sub-boards: Akahele Pass, Lava Flow

A city of reasonable size on the edge of Kohola Bay. Like Lani City, it has seen some modernization in recent years, leading to the upgrade and modernization of the local power plant. Even before that, Mahiko City was the center of sugarcane production, but with production moving overseas the city is left to oversee the sugarcane fields dominating the central valley. The Electric Gym is also found here.

The ultimate test for trainers, a harrowing gauntlet of caves, mountain passages, and powerful Pokemon and trainers that works its way up the side of Mount Sunrise. There are three levels of caves here, each opening into a different section of the mountain: one under heavy rainfall, one in the clouds, and one above the clouds near the summit. Each section of Victory Road will need to be navigated in different ways, requiring a challenger to use all the skills they’ve developed over their journey.

NOTE: In order to access and navigate Victory Road, you need to have all eight of the Aina Region’s badges, as well as all six HMs and a full party of fully evolved Pokemon. In addition, all threads involving the exploration of Victory Road will be fully moderated. The flip side? Once completed, Victory Road can be freely used as a catching area, and contains every Pokemon native to the Aina Region.

Riding up the waterfalls along the Hapuu Highway takes you to high-altitude forests and source water along the north face of Mount Sunrise. Along with the usual bugs and forest and river dwellers, a number of strong and exotic Pokemon make their homes here, away from human habitation. At least two fully-evolved Pokemon are required to access this area, as well as a Pokemon knowing Waterfall. Rain is very common here.

Following the cliffs away from the Black Sand Beach leads you to this cave system. Formed from old lava tubes and volcanic activity, they stretch deep under the island and are home to strong Pokemon attracted to the darkness and heat. Many of the caves’ dwellers have moved boulders around to block progress, making the ability to push them out of the way necessary for exploration. Just be careful not to pick up a Graveler instead. At least two fully-evolved Pokemon are required to access this area, as well as a Pokemon knowing Strength.

Although snorkeling tours of the surrounding area are offered, the only way to reach Kohola Island proper is by surfing out there on a Pokemon. Although small, the crescent-shaped island plays host to a number of strong Pokemon, from Fighting types training in the remote location to others who just love the open, sunny environment. Please be respectful and do not litter. At least two fully-evolved Pokemon are required to access this area, as well as a Pokemon knowing Surf.

Kohola Reef snorkeling tours are restricted to small areas of the reef and do not allow catching Pokemon, but it’s possible to visit the entire underwater area around the island and reef by diving on a Pokemon. Deep sea dwellers occasionally drift up to rest here, and some caves in and around the island contain Pokemon you’d never expect to see underwater. At least two fully-evolved Pokemon are required to access this area, as well as a Pokemon knowing Dive.
