Genre: RPG
Description: Pokemon Emerald is one of the releases on the Gameboy Advance, connected to Ruby and Sapphire, much like the Red and Blue (and some would debate Yellow,) versions were with each other. I still remember back when there were 150 pokemon, and we were surprised at Pokemon Yellow's release, given the connection to that 'new cartoon' that had been on Kids WB. Now we have all new species, this thing called Natures, and running shoes! There's the intro we just had gone through, and then the start of the game. Essentially, the player's family recently moved to the Hoenn Region all the way from Johto. In terms with controls and what button does what, there really isn't any difference from the other games.
Well, what can I, the reader, do to participate?
There's plenty to do! Give suggestions is one thing, as long as it's constructive. If it doesn't clash with my current plan, I'll probably implement it!
There's also giving me name ideas. Our character is going to love giving her pokemon names that reference games, celebrities, movies, shows, anime, webcomics, and the like. Like calling Hitmonlee 'Bruce,' just because of Bruce Lee, or Hitmochan 'Tyson' because of Tyson Punch Out, or however that came was called. (Shush, it's easy to use those as examples.) Just remember character limitations.
Then there's that last idea. Doodles! I'm a fan of how RedChocobo did her very own Pokemon LP's. They had character, some fun scenes, and doodles made by her and readers. It gave things that added charm.

_______________________________Introduction_______________________________
In the void, where all new games start, our potential new character was currently existing, in a non-existant manner, while watching her town's local news.
D: So that's where my bike went!
Wait, who are you? Where is this place? *Teary eyes* Am I in hell already?
It's alright, really. Especially considering I have no idea where I am, or who you are!
Oh... Well, now I feel Meepish.
Birch: Will you stop interrupting. D:<
o.o Meep.
They do? I don't. Don't tell me that you consider 'everyone' your mother and porn.
Oh my god, someone call PETA! *cowers* What sort of freak created and called this pokemon?
I knew that it was created for something inappropriate!
<.< It still sounds suspicious.
Birch: Will you grow up? We have a story to get to.
Mommy! Professor Birch is breaking the fourth wall!
Well, dur. We have enough trouble learning about ourselves, I bet. What kind of world are we in, again?
Fine, ignore me. Just continue stating some of the obvious.
*Stares* Why are you asking that? You are not looking at my parts to find out! Is it really that hard to tell what gender I am?
*Spazzes* How do you know my name, and all that stuff?! I bet you're a witch or something.
Stop ignoring me~! *Whimpers* I'm afraid of going to a pokemon lab after that explanation...
Welcome to Pokemon Emerald!
Hello everyone! Hope you all enjoyed that small intro. Among my names used, from the long Dragon Ladysupreme, and the 'real life' Jessica, feel free to use the laziest version of them all; DL. Like quite a few out there, I was quite the fan of reading, and watching, various LP's out there, originating from the Something Awful forums. I've come to admire many of the goons from that Let's Play forum. Like many, I didn't actually want to pay to join a forum, despite the people and benefits it included. That wasn't going to stop me, oh no. To get started in the land of LP creation, I went for the easiest game to get one's feet wet with - Pokemon!
My style of this LP will have quite a mix of styles. One of which will be much like what you've seen above. This is a mix of script and 'illiterate RP' styles, for freedom of imagination and interpretation. From this point on, all lines of speech will Then there would be a story mode, when I try to get specific details in to your minds. Usually this would be when there are less screenshots and more allowance of creativity on my part. Then there are the journal logs, which will be very occasional, and when I want quite some time to pass by. Also, there will be doodles, with nothing close to my usual drawing style. They will be few and far between. Feel free to submit fan art of the story, and various scenes.
Let's get along to our beginning character, shall we? (With the collection of pokemon coming to the cast, let's leave the term at what had been used. Okay?)
Name: Midna
Family: Norman (Father)
Unnamed (Mother)
Age: 16
Likes: Pop Culture references, Video Games, 'Anime,' less than mature jokes, apples, chocolate, and Fire.
Dislikes: Alcohol, taking care of pets, spinach, and what most people don't like?
_______________________________Ch.1 The Journey Begins_______________________________
We find out character curled up in a safe nook of boxes, away from the heavy and painful ones. Not to mention the desk drawers, as a bump in the back of her head reminded her.
Midna: *Repeating quickly* Let it be over. Let it be over. Let it be over...
After an unknown amount of time passed, the truck had finally stopped. Without hesitation MIDNA jumps out as soon as the back doors are opened, and the first boxes are pulled out.
Midna: Who's the one that decided to have the arrangements like that? You were probably hitting on the drivers. I should contact CPA for this. D:<
Midna: Wha? *Looks over at house* Oh, shiny windows to break. Wait- I was being angry! Stop distracting me!
Already, Midna's mother had went inside while ignoring her irate daughter; Effectively ignoring each and every single word.
Midna: Something tells me that wasn't free, either.
Mom: Why don't you check out your room!
Midna: Room! No more basement, or chains, or rats!
Quickly, MIDNA hurried upstairs to her room and stared at the lack of personal items. Save for her journal, which was suspiciously out in the open, nothing looked familiar. Especially the Game Cube that was next to the old television set.
Midna: Oh, right. You're lazy, and don't trust me with our own stuff. I remember now.
Midna: Better grab this before one of mom's 'friends' decide to write a name and kill someone. That really puts me in the mood for apples.
Midna: He didn't wreck the place in a wild party, did he?
Midna: Oh d- Rawr! The one time that it's an actual interview, and I miss it. You could've said something earlier.
MOM: Yes, well anyway. You should give your father's friend a visit. He lives next door.
Midna: Huh? Oh yeah, sure. Which friend, anyway? You better not be setting me up for some serious mental scarring...
MOM: His name is Professor Birch. Now go along!
Still with no apple, or what was really called an Asian Pear in some grocery stores, Midna escaped the mad house and went swiftly for the exit out of Littleroot Town.
Midna: It's almost as if that void thing wasn't a dream... Ah well, escape time!
GIRL: It's dangerous if you don't have your own pokemon.
Midna: You've gotta be kidding me... Fine. I'll get a pokemon, and then escape this horrible place.
With that, MIDNA trudged on to the Professor's home.
Midna: Well, I'm-
Midna: D: What is it with you people and mind reading?! There has to be some sort of privacy law around here.
Midna: This really does feel like a set up. As long as it gets me out of this town, fine.
Midna: Oh, shiny ball.
Midna: I didn't steal anything!
Midna: For cripes sake, does everyone read minds here? D:
Midna: I- I.... T_T My chest isn't that flat.
Midna: ]:< That's what you get for assuming.
Brendan: Hey, don't you have a pokemon yet? Want me to catch you one? Oh yeah, I forgot. I have to help my dad's research. Some other time, okay?
Midna: Hi, you have a boring name. Definitely doesn't fit your hair's appearance. You'd probably catch a zigzagoon, or something, anyway.
With that, once again MIDNA made her way to attempt yet another escape from Littleroot Town
Midna: Aw... Don't worry, sweetie. That's just the cries of a fully grown wuss.
Midna: Sure, but don't expect me back. It's just along the same route I'm escaping. I checked the map, so I know.
Midna: Right on time.
Midna: You mean those shiny balls? Sure, okay.
Midna went right for the shiny ball that was closest to her first. Almost immediately a TORCHIC came out. About to return the pokemon to it's tiny enclosure, it was too late to see the other choices. Immediately the chick went after the ZIGZAGOON in a fiery rage.
Midna: *Stares agape* That thing had no chance...
Midna: Some professor you turned out to be. Also, it was that feral bird that saved you. Not that it was saving you, so much as quenching bloodlust.
Midna: Yeah. You're that guy from the void! Tell your family to stop invading people's minds. ]:<
Midna: You're the one who stood me up from the appointment made in the void. Stop acting like it's my fault!
Midna: He tends to lie a lot. Don't listen to him. After all, you apparently lead your son to believe I was a boy.
Midna: It was just a zigza- Did you say 'aplomb'? You definitely listened to my father. x:< I'm not so daft that I don't know a fake word when I hear it!
Midna: You just want to pass that beast on to me! Fine... Then, because I don't see how you expect to tell it's gender, it shall be named Din!
Midna: Yeah. I met him. He totally ignored his duties to you, and let you be attacked. Do you really depend on him for 'muscle'? Pathetic man...
Midna: Will he be happy that you twisted my arm as well? You verbally twisted my arm. I should sic Din on you.
Midna: Nah. I could probably kick his ass in no time, anyway.
Midna: Ah, thanks. Your husband is too horrible a father to realize where his son goes. Then again, the boy probably ignored his father's cries for help. Must be in the genes.
Midna: Really, where? *looks around.* Oh, yeah. Well, you were watching pokemon porn on your computer. You have no right to make fun of my interests.
Midna: O/////O Oh, yeah. Right. Him thinking you could teach me something. Ignore what I said before. I warn you, Din's got a bit of a blood lust now.
TORCHIC looks satisfied.
Midna: *Stares* Wow. It just tore your little guy apart. Knew I'd kick your ass, though. *Gives a smug look.*
BRENDAN: I think I know why my dad has his eye on you now.
Midna: Say what?
Midna: I let it satiate it's initial bloodlust. It's looking pretty lax now, though, huh? [:
Midna: No. Bad feeling. Very bad feeling. Trust me.
Midna: Psh, yeah. I told you I could handle it with ease.
Midna: By what, watching zigzagoon chase you all day?
Midna: This is going to be like one giant quest in those MMO games, isn't it?
Midna: D:< Don't give me your poke-porn! I like keeping my things virus-clear.
Midna: Yeah, I met the freak-family. Nice shift from that subject. <.<
Midna: Aw, don't say that. I don't want to apply to AA ahead of time for a good seat. I'm not going to persue a career in that stuff the Birch boy likes getting wood with, either. *Snickers* Get it?
Midna: *Teary eyed* So you do understand my need to escape! All of this was just one horrible tease. I'll be free to run off and set things on fire. It's definitely nothing like my bike, though.
With a new pokemon, method of escape, and a little cash from that battle with Brendan, Midna made her way out from town.
Midna: Goodbye Littleroot! To quote another; Smell ya later!
Journal
Day 1
Finally arrived in Littleroot. Something is definitely weird. We move away from Johto, to a town called Littleroot, yet dad took his own job and residence elsewhere. Either way, I escaped later on the day, and made my way through Route 101. Things must change when they get dark. I can't get out of here!
Luckily, Din proves quite useful as a source of warmth. That, and he's not in that bloodthirsty mood from before. I mean, for Chansey's sake, what did that professor do to it, to make it go completely ballistic like that? D: I seriously hope it doesn't start up again tonight. At least he's more than calm now, and being really affectionate. Either that, or pretty scared. Can fire types be scared of the dark?

PkMn
This is where we'll be listing the line-up from when the chapter ends. New pokemon will get pokedex information, nature, as well as level. For now, we only have 1 'friend.'
Din
Pokemon: Torchic
Level: 8
Nature: Lax
Hoenn Dex: 004
Type: Fire
Height: 1'04"
Weight: 5.5lbs
Entry: If attacked, it strikes back by spitting balls of fire it forms in its stomach. A TORCHIC dislikes darkness because it can't see its surroundings.
