Done, should be better.
"We do not need magic to transform our world. We carry all the power we need inside ourselves already. We have the power to imagine better."
It would look good to me, but could you read Every's Essay and the Tone Essay again carefully?

I have, again. I don't know why.
Have I done somthin' wrong?
"We do not need magic to transform our world. We carry all the power we need inside ourselves already. We have the power to imagine better."
There's something specific in the essays that you need to have in your signup. It's easy to pass over if you're not reading it word for word, but it does specifically mention what they are later in the essay.

Oh I thought I put those in. Pompous Popplio & Insipid Igglybuff right?

Ah, gotcha. Maybe you accidentally got rid of them or something, but I'm fine with it now, yeah

Double post because ~TheChaosThrone, people seem to be good with you, so here's your test!
The Chaos Throne's Test
-Oh no, William! You have been challenged by... A kid a bit younger than you and his Riolu-
Kid: Oh hey! You look pretty strong!
-gestures to his Riolu-
My Riolu really wants to get stronger, so can we have a battle?
Riolu: <You seem like you can put up a fight.>
Please respond as if this were the RP proper.

Sorry real life got in the way.
-William laughs a little bit excited
William: "Sure thing, we need to get stronger as well! Come on Vulpix lets do this!"
-Vulpix gives a bored look.
Vulpix: <Really..? Another fight?>
William: "Come on Vulpix, lets do thi-"
-Vulpix interrupts shaking her head and batting Williams face with her tail as she jumps down to get ready-

Totally fine, don't worry.

Boy: Riolu, Force Palm!
-The Riolu charges his paws with Aura and swipes at Vulpix with them.-

William: "Vulpix close in, tail whip to dodge it, then ember!"
-Vulpix nods and dashes forward, jumping up and over the Riolu, using the tail-whip to knock Forcepalm to the side.-
-She quickly turns and attempting to burn the Riolu from behind with Ember-

Kid: Rock Slide!

William: "Vulpix you okay? Come on, keep going! You can do it, keep him on his feet, more ember!"
-Vulpix gets back up and quickly gets moving again, side to side, out of direct arms reach firing streams of fire at the Riolu's feet, trying to keep him moving-

The Silence That Speaks Volumes
Just wanted Echoing Silence to know that I'm honestly sorry for him. I just didn't know how else to respond.
The truth can oft be more misleading... I'm driven by greed, guilt, rage, and despair, but I'll never try to justify haughtiness.

Thank you.
William: "Vulpix out of the way, and go for it one more time!"
-Vulpix tries to dodge away but gets hit, knocked back sliding across the ground. Still standing and looking like she might keep going but just falls onto her stomach. Unable to keep battling-
William: "Vulpix, come on you can keep fighting right?"
Vulpix: <I'm done...>
"We do not need magic to transform our world. We carry all the power we need inside ourselves already. We have the power to imagine better."
,, It's cool. I never took it too personally anyways. But thanks man.

Chaos Throne's test
-The boy and his Riolu cheer-
Boy: We did it!
Riolu: <That wasn't too bad.>
Boy: We should do that again sometime!
-he and the Riolu head off-
Well, ~TheChaosThrone, you seemed to exhibit no glaring problems and very importantly let a loss be a loss in your test battle, so welcome aboard! Head on over to our Discussion Thread
to get started; we also have chatrooms, but you sadly have to jump through a few more hoops to get to those for unsavory reasons.

Double post since there's been two important rule patches since my last post.
First, this addition to the "newbie problems to avoid" list:
And more importantly this addition to the Tone Essay!
-Thinks a bit-
<Though, actually, if you're just starting out, you gotta be careful about that too!>
Robin: -tilts his head- How so?
Alduin: <Well! This RP has a very long history, and during that history its world has evolved into a Pokemon fanverse of great scope, incorporating things from all across the Pokemon franchise and even way beyond for crossover factor!>
-taps headhands together-
<That said... Trying to throw extra stuff in there without really being familiar with it tends to get messy.>
Robin: I suppose we'll need a demonstration.
Alduin: <Yep! I think I'll need... Dvorak, was it?>
Robin: They should be good.
-Sends out a Sceptile-
Dvorak the mad inventor Sceptile: <Hey! What's up?>
Alduin: <Congratulations, Dvorak! You've been selected to join WAAPT as a player right off the bat!>
-confetti-
Dvorak: <Awesome!>
Alduin: <But you still have to submit a character!>
Dvorak: <Hmmm... His name is Dominic Sneezetuff... He's a human, average build, blond, wears yellow and blue...>
Alduin: <Good, good...>
Dvorak: <He owns a Porygon-Z and a Golurk named Bunsen and Beaker...>
Alduin: <Also fine!>
Dvorak: <...And he's a former affiliate of an organization known as Ecosystems Unlimited of the Varroa region! Don't worry, I've already drawn up the maps, it covers up where Fiore normally would be!>
Alduin: <...Um, we don't have any evil organizations or regions by that na->
Dvorak: <And they're scheming to spread across the whole world so they can convert evolutionary stones into those crystals from Re: Burst and then use them to create the AI brains of an army of computer-hacking robots because information wants to be free! And then Dominic and the J-Team have to team up to stop them before the robots uncover information on how to create an army of zomb->
Alduin: <Okay that's enough Robin you can recall them now>
-Robin does so-
Robin: That went both worse and better than expected.
Alduin: <You tell me!>
-shakes his heads-
<But as Dvorak there demonstrated, trying to introduce new concepts, including new regions, organizations, and plots, right off the bat can really derail existing material and plans! If you're making a new character, you should use what you know of the canon incarnations of the Pokemon franchise - especially the main series games, the anime, and Pokemon Special/Adventures - and what you know of the WAAPT world from its recommended reading to build a character! Now to demonstrate... Robin, I need Dvorak again!>
-Robin sends them out-
Dvorak: <-And then the zombies and J-Team pirates fight the aliens in a three-way battle to get all seven Dragon Ba- Oh, right, you weren't listening, let me repeat all tha->
Alduin: <Er, you don't need to. Let's just say your character's A-OK but his backstory isn't. There just too much that messes up the RP setting!>
Dvorak: <Wait, really? Aww...>
Alduin: <But fear not, Dvorak! Dominic could easily be a repentant ex-member of [SUN AND MOON SPOILER] and work with the implications of that instead!>
Dvorak: <Wait, really? Gee, thanks!>
Alduin: <And if you stick around long enough you can maybe retool some of your old ideas to fit the RP world!>
Dvorak: <Thanks then!>
-heads off-
Alduin: <See? If you stick to what we've got lore-wise in your signup, you'll be fine! And if you stick around long enough to get chummy with the locals and become more familiar with the RP setting, that's when you can start getting creative and incorporating your own ideas for the RP's world - so long as you ask permission first! Ask if you're just plain unsure as well!>
Robin: Is that all?
We hope both these help any newbies join the RP more smoothly. Thank you!

Ho ho, ho! Merry Christmas from us to you! We've got a very special present from you: Our spoilerblock on Generation 7 mons and mechanics has lifted! So feel free to sign up with those in your Trainer and Pokemon profiles! Just two caveats:
1. We're still working on wether or not the Ultra Beasts and Type: Null line fall under the same clauses as other restricted Pokemon, so no signing up with them please.
2. Please do not give your character any Z-Rings or Z-Crystals for now.
Thank you and merry G7 Christmas!
