Well, I don't know what's going to happen if Regulus doesn't come back, but I had an idea. What if there was a board or thread or something for posting Trainer Classes? Most classes are similar, for the most part, but entries would detail Trainer Classes that have special rules, abilities, or whatnot, like Medics, Aura Guardians, Poachers (Team Rocket), and Rangers. The main idea is that members could create new classes, outlining what they do and how they fit into the Pokémon world, so they can be standardized so other players could create characters and NPCs of that class. We can approve or veto them depending on how appropriate they are to the setting.
Of course, I mention this because I have a crazy idea or two for Trainer Classes.

I write when I can. Which is basically almost all the time.

I don't mind this idea. It'd definitely help to keep characters in line with the rules here and there. I even have a few odd ideas for Aura Guardians.

If we actually get people coming here, I will, sure. Of course, this place is more deserted than the Sahara, so...

Well, it'll take more than just the forum sitting here to gain more members. You gotta get the word out. Sprucing the place up a bit wouldn't hurt, either.

I'm a bit concerned about the idea of discussing "trainer classes" when it looks like there aren't any story posts yet. I'd say you're better off including that kind of stuff in the stories themselves. Meta posts should be an afterthought, surely?

I suppose it doesn't absolutely have to be a consideration until it becomes a problem. Then again, having Trainer Classes could encourage players to be something beyond Player 1 from Starting Town and be a little more creative with their characters.

I don't think that's really a problem at the moment, though - everyone here are established players. It's just a question of how we'd attract more writers.
If we end up with a flood of people, and they all just create an Ash Ketchum each, then it might be worth considering how to solve that problem. But I don't think that would be a particular problem any more - new trainer from Starter Town was the in thing in 1999, but after twelve years, we've seen a far broader range of characters in the games and on TV. I just don't think it's the problem it was when the PW! began.
