El Cafe du Watchog (originally known as RP General during its time on 4Chan) is an ongoing Pokemon-based roleplay. It originally started as a series of joke threads, before evolving into a casual roleplay.The roleplay's setting is primarily told in and around the cafe, owned by a Watchog named Caleb. The stories involve murder, demons, espionage, romance, and comedy. Later in the roleplay, several arcs are established, with the most recent being the rivalry between Magma International and Team Aqua. Pokemon and humans live as equals, but there are still Pokemon who choose to be trained by humans.The story is set 9 years after Hoenn and before the Unova saga.This roleplay provides examples of:
Apathetic Citizens: Krok, Zan, and Lei make no effort to help Azelf when he turns Asshole to stone right in front of them.
Back from the Dead: Steven Stone several times, along with Lucario of the thieves, Cynthia several times, Miri's Father/uncle twice, and several other characters, who are no longer active.
Badass Crew: Magma International's original admin team.
Baleful Polymorph: Giratina and Arceus occasionally torture people this way.
Bar Brawl: This happens when the Dread Plate-affected Cyrus and Kaleb go out to a bar handcuffed to each other and Cyrus starts jokingly hitting on Kaleb.
Beneath the Mask: Giratina seems to have a lot of insecurities she doesn't bring up.
Berserk Button: Caleb's is whenever someone orders limeade instead of coffee.
Also Zan, whenever someone calls him chubby.
Larvesta gets incredibly butthurt when anyone steals her necklace.
Bi the Way: Turner would fall under this trope, yet having no relations with male characters, himself, likely classing him as a heteroromantic bisexual
Butt Monkey: Tabanna, being an Audino. And Jeremy. Also Alt!Cyrus
Camp Gay: Ramen during his time in the story, along with the infamous Thimithear, well known among the Rper's as the one who started the thread that spanned into the craziness now taking place on a daily basis.
The Corruption: The Dread Plate starts to take effect on Tabanna the Audino. Later, when Cyrus absorbs it, the plate taunts Cyrus by being an annoying voice in his head, and sometimes even takes control of him, leading to some interesting shenanigans.
God and Satan Are Both Jerks: Arceus is a drunkard who curses others for no apparent reason, while Giratina, who is portrayed as the Devil in this Roleplay, has rather questionable intentions and is quite mean as well.
Informed Attribute: He never killed anyone on-screen. He does attempt to bring in Ghetsis and Cynthia, though.
Jerkass Gods: Arceus and Giratina freely torture others for their own amusement. Arceus himself abuses his powers for the sake of abusing his powers. This comes back to bite him in the butt when his plates go missing.
Magikarp Power: Magikarp. Started as a mere Magikarp in a fishbowl, got upgraded to being in a small mecha-suit, then to a tank and finally to full-blown God status.
Moe: Tabanna and one of N's personalities, Sensitivity.
Mundane Fantastic: No one questions why Pokemon talk, or the fact that demons exist in the Pokemon world. Caleb himself is rather blase about his surroundings, and very few seem to care that Miri's father/uncle impregnated her.
When characters from other universes started appearing, no one seemed to bat an eye.
Mundane Utility: Arceus uses his powers to summon alcohol, throw parties, and crush cruise ships with Giratina.
Proton. He was willing to follow Archer, even if his only real friend was endangered by it.
Naïve Newcomer: Whoever joins the roleplay later. Most noticeably Ace Trainer Kaleb and Gold the Underage. Most recently has been Tom Jackal, who still hasn't gotten used to all the whims of RP Gen.
Nice Character, Mean Actor: Oshawott is a friendly character, the person who controls Oshawott is regularly a douchebag towards Jeremy.
No Endor Holocaust: Averted: Regigigas's battle with Lenny and Lucario has many casualties.
No Sell: Magikarp, Omachao, and Dickeater can "cockblock."
Official Couple: Celia and Jason, Arceus and Giratina, Turner and Miri, Gordy and Cupcake, Lenny and Isadora, Oshawott and Snivy, Zeke and Trixie, Wallace and Steven, Trapunny and Jeremy.
Parental Incest: Miri's dad/uncle, during the first story arc.
Parents Walk In at the Worst Time: Ghetsis commonly walks in on N's various sexual hijinks. The most amusing of these was when he walked in on N and Gazriel and promptly, Ghetsis tore out his other eye.
The Power of Hate: Silver's limeade is made with pure hatred as an ingredient, which makes the drink so delicious.
