Geographical!
Hey, you guys! Welcome to what I hope will be a pretty okay RP.Fifty-odd years ago in Kanto, a moderately large company, specializing mostly in the production of medicines, released a new product; one that would change the concept of pokémon training forever. They had invented the pokémon canister. Capable of energizing a pokémon at almost three times the speed of the more common apricorn-based constructions, and being easier and marginally cheaper to construct, the canisters were set to rock the very foundations of pokémon training.
Well, they were controversial.
Soon after the public gained knowledge of the product, gangs (or, perhaps, a singular gang) of anti-canister traditionalists have begun mild terrorist attacks that have majorly inconvenienced Garret & Silph, Inc. In order to promote their line of pokécanisters, raise public awareness of their many advantages, and hopefully quell the attacks, the founder has hired a number of teenagers to promote the product as a group, traveling together from major city to major city.
What could possibly go wrong?
Basically, apricorns have been a way of life for centuries, and people surprisingly don't like changing over to this new upstart technology. Most everybody with a pokémon uses one of these babies. But now, what will one day be the poképroduct giant, Silph Co., is in danger of destruction when those who feel their way of life threatened strike like the ekans that is their main symbol.

Just some general...
INFORMATION:
1. You know how fast the pokécanister in the fourth movie works? Well, apricorn balls work about a third that fast. The light is also goopier and less defined around the edges.
2. Traditional apricorn balls are just hollowed-out, hinged apricorns, which are naturally capable of containing pokémon as energy. Some are coated in substances to increase this ability, like growlithe spit or tree sap. The effectiveness of these are both questionable and hotly-debated.
3. Pokécanisters can't be minimized, and must be unscrewed completely to open. A button is depressed on the bottom in order to recall pokémon into it.
4. Apricorn balls do not prevent further capture of the contained pokémon.

Here are the...
RULES:
1. Be a nice person! Use good roleplaying etiquette. We're all (hopefully) capable of this, but if you're unsure about something just ask.
2. No legendary pokémon whatsoever on your team. Also, no ridiculous legendary interventions in your character's backstory, please.
3. No modern-day technology, including pokéballs, pokédexes, etc. Due to the strange tech levels of the pokémon world, cell phones and stuff are permissible but they'll be exceedingly uncommon and bulky by real-world standards (think 'eighties' for this sort of thing)
4. Use decent spelling and grammar. Please.
5. No Unova pokémon; the PC system hasn't been invented yet and they don't exist in Kanto naturally. Occasional references to them are okay, of course.
6. Try and make your form decently long. It is understood that sometimes you just can't put it into words, but I think everyone prefers a good form that takes two days to one that you slap together to get it over with.
7. All characters should generally be +14 years of age, although if one character is the younger sibling of another it can slide sometimes, depending on how well it's justified.
8. One character per person.
9. No porygon/2/-z, because they haven't been created yet. Also no mewtwo, but that's already quite obvious.
10. Have fun.
11. I mean it, this is required.
12. ;D
13. You may only sign up as a prospective advertiser of the canisters.
