3[[http://thecafeduwatchog.jcink.net/index.php?act=idx El Cafe du Watchog]] (originally known as RP General during its time on Website/FourChan) is an ongoing Franchise/{{Pokemon}}-based roleplay. It originally started as a series of joke threads, before evolving into a more serious, but still casual roleplay.
4
5The roleplay's setting is primarily told in and around the cafe, owned by a Watchog named Caleb. The stories involve murder, espionage, romance, and drama, but are usually more light at hear. Later in the roleplay, several [[AnArc arcs]] are established, with the most recent being the rivalry between Team Cipher and Team Galactic. Pokemon and humans live as equals, but there are still Pokemon who choose to be trained by humans.
6
7The story is set after [[VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon the Alola saga]]. After switching to a new site, the story underwent a ContinuityReboot of sorts. While some of the previous site's lore is still intact, much was trimmed or simplified to avoid ContinuityLockOut.
