[Meta thread] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure : Celadon City Vandels

[Spiritmon]

Spoiler

I think the ambiguity in some of the lore is what makes Pokemon so great from a story perspective.  Yeah, some of the in-game story stuff could be expanded on better by Game Freak, but they might also be leaving it like that on purpose.  Leaves room for the fans to speculate and come up with their own stories to fill in the gaps.  Or for Game Freak to go back at a later point and fill in those gaps themselves if they so desire.

I agree with that. It's so much lore material to be used for fangame plots and of course the Role-played. Skull Ruins and Celadon City it's strong examples about how to make good use of the pokemon lore, put a bit of GURPS system and a nice narrative them BAM! A awesome Roleplay with excellent plots for all tastes. One be lighter like Skull Ruins when you do a normal path of a trainer or a more hardcore taste when you are literally the bad guy! 

And I must confess: As much I love the Skull Ruins campaign, I love quite a lot too the Celadon City campaign. The plots, the characters, the interaction between them and of course the Team Rocket. I always like to see how team rocket is inside, besides be only a criminal organization. They are still evil as ever, but when you study a bit more the layers you can see it's not so much "black and white" here. Reiner per example is a Rocket Grunt who wants revenge against the Elder of Blackthorn. But when you see his journey until now you can discover a more soft side, one with his care about his Pokemon, and the people he have around him: Weavile, Kingdra, Emily and Mew is only a few examples.

And there is my favorite madman Arial. He is crazy, have short temper, makes mistakes and make awful puns. More or less Jaycee and James from the anime. Heck, he even have a cat-like Pokemon as partner! But when you study him more deep you can see that character have more to offer: His Grim past, the life he was force to endured, trying to living up to his father lessons about smiling even when you live a cruel world and then loosing him, you ended up feeling simpaty for him and maybe feel related to him somehow? And of course his hatred of humanity balanced by his kindness by many other Pokemon even the dangerous ones like Sekmet who is a truly nuclear reactor ready to explode if not be careful! And even offering to free her from the pokeball, something a person in his perfect sanity would never do! But again, we talking about a madman.

I carried away about my character sorry^^"What I trying to say is, I really love the Celadon City campaign because how well and neat is the way Windos handle this campaign. Each character he created, make me always curious about their backstory and the world around them. For a guy who loves lores, backstory and a concept about gray character Celadon City it's a awesome plate to enjoy. Many people should give more credit to both Windos and Iron about the hard work and awesome story making they do to build such nice Roleplay you don't usually see everytime. 

At least this is my point of view. When I go meditation I sometimes go in deep study about something and write something about it. Anyway going to eat something. See you guys later!
