Create a character, then start your journey in one of the site's various RolePlaying areas by getting a Pokemon from the region or area's starting point, then travel everywhere doing just about whatever you please on your journey. You could take the standard approach of playing a Pokemon Trainer, or perhaps a student at the Academy. Or, you could try a different approach and join the evil team, the Grim! There are so many paths available for you to choose. Who knows, maybe you'll be called on to fight the forces of evil, or to do battle against the good-hearted. There have been some strange things happening lately though, things that threaten to throw the very balance of the regions into chaos...

^^ Certain Pokemon are being remade, but you are welcome to take a peek! ^^
Made the RP boards and some character boards visible to guests. Before you had to join to see that there actually was a region there.
History & Plot
{Spoiler}
History:
To most, the origins of the regions are unknown, but some have been blessed with the knowledge. And, for better or for worse, history does have a way of repeating itself...
A powerful Legend created the Laokia Region, long after many other regions came into existence. Laokia was at first devoid of sentient life, but the Legendary created Pokemon, unique to the region, and gave out a call that brought many more from far and wide, from all of the other regions, to the land, making it more diverse than any. But, it was still without humans, and it remained that way for years. After a while of the region existing away from human eyes, the Legendary Creator bought humans, ignorant to the Legend's actions, across the seas to the land. There the humans and Pokemon lived together in peace and harmony, and the Legendary Creator appointed an Umbreon and an Espeon to watch over the region, and even gave them special powers. However, all good things eventually come to an end.
A shipwreck, a chance happening that could easily have been a coincidence, brought a group of evil humans to Laokia. Whether another force was at work, or it really was a coincidence is uncertain, but the humans banded together and brought terror and destruction to the region. The balance was threatened, as was the fate of all Laokia. In a last effort to defeat the evil, Lord Umbreon and Lady Espeon used up the remainder of their powers to dispel the evil from Laokia, as well as to wipe away the terrible humans' memories. With no power left, Umbreon and Espeon would have died there where they fell, but instead the Legendary Creator transformed them into statues, so they could steadily rebuild their energy throughout the years to come.
Another multitude of years spent in Peace, with a relative lack of evil, and then evil once again reached Laokia. This time it was in the form of a woman named Belladonna, and a small fleet of ships filled with her followers. The Grim had found Laokia, and threatened the balance once again. Knowing that the Region was in peril, the Legendary Creator called forth Apprentice-Professor Cassandra Tarei. The region needed a resident Professor, one who was good at heart and would do anything to protect the region, and Tarei was perfect for that task.
With Tarei, who soon became a full-fledged Professor, a wave of good humans washed into Laokia, looking to explore the newly discovered region. The balance remained in-tact, but with the steadily growing evil, that could not last long.

Plot:
Each day the evil in Laokia, and even in neighboring Region Aryll, evil grows. The masterminds behind this evil have revealed themselves; The Demon Legend Akuma, and the Grim Leader Belladonna. Neither show any desire to end their reign of terror over the region, nor do they care that they are upsetting the balance and thus the very foundation of the region. Demon Pokemon have spread rapidly, and are now lurking everywhere, in both of the regions. Also, strange Pokemon dubbed as Shadow and Marine have been discovered, the cause of their abnormalities unknown. Yet, there are also the Angel Pokemon, which were created by another Legend, one who opposes Akuma and who is only known by the name Tenshi.
Rumor has it that the Grim are plotting to create a more perfect Demon Pokemon, one that is not feral and vicious towards them, but only towards their enemies. So far only Akuma himself can accomplish such a thing, the machines created by the Grim unable to harness enough of his power to create the Pokemon properly. If that is their design, then it is imperative they be stopped, before an army of Grim controlled Demons faces the defenders of Laokia.
Reports of Pokemon suddenly becoming vicious and attacking, even killing, their trainers have been made. It is believed that it is caused directly by Akuma, who along with Belladonna finds innocent victims with which to enjoy such a sport. The only flaw of this great power of Akuma's is its inability to control Demon, Angel, Marine, or Shadow Pokemon. Trainers are recommended to find and capture one as soon as possible in order to defend themselves should they be targeted.
Professor Tarei has been taken by Belladonna and transformed into a demonic minion of Akuma. With such a prominent figure as her now an enemy to the Region, the people fall into more of a panic. She was their rallying force, their hope, and with her gone many of the good Laokians fall to the side of evil in their fear, or just give up on trying to save the region. It is up to all who still fight against the evil to save Laokia, and the time draws nearer that the final battle must be fought. And, for the fate of Laokia and Aryll, the defenders must win.

Due to various issues, the site had died. Mainly I blame myself as I could not be online to take care of it- though there was nothing I could do about it at the time. Now that I have internet, my life has stabilized, and I have finally given myself a good kick in the rump for all the blame I was placing on my shoulders... I am back to work on the site. V3 was released to give everything a fresh start when ProBoards upgraded to V5, and the new site hardly had time to get off the ground. While the region itself has a lot of groundwork put into it (it has been around since 2007 afterall), there is still a lot of promise for the site, so much room for improvement. I am super grateful to be able to be back to work on the site, and I really hope that you will give it a chance despite the current lonely state of things.

Staff: 1 Admin, 1 Support (Other staff are currently on hiatus)
All of our top staff are currently not active. I am the creator of the site and the head admin (naturally). I have never quit the site, and never plan to! However, I have vanished relatively often due to various causes. In fact I recently returned from a 2 1/2 year long absence because I did not have internet and several health issues and deaths in the family that made getting on my site virtually impossible. This should not become an issue again as I have internet access now.
- Staff positions are always available; having more mods is a good thing, right?
- Naturally, applicants start out at a 'Trial' basis and are reviewed by the top staff.
- Staff Reviews happen approximately every 2-3 months.
