Welcome to the Orange Islands!

We are one of the largest and most active Pokémon TRPGs (Text Role Playing Game) on the net. Not only that, but we boast a huge number of new features and opportunities not available anywhere else. We realize that there are a lot of Pokémon RPGs around, and we know how hard being original can be because of that. However, we strive to make every aspect of our RPG fresh and new, even the basics!
  • Start your own quest in one of the most exciting and unexplored regions: the Orange Islands!
  • Battle your way up to the top just as you would in the games; defeat gym leaders, catch wild Pokémon, and become champion!
  • Build yourself the ultimate team from one of nearly 200 brand new and exclusive Pokémon!
  • Battling isn't the only aspect of the Pokémon world, is it? Explore the world as more than just a trainer; compete in Pokémon Contests, breed your Pokémon to be the best, or go on Ranger missions to save the world!
  • Explore the brand new region of Zeralis, or take a trip down memory lane through any (or all) of the original regions from the games!
  • Is RPing not for you? We also have an ongoing project to expand our dex into one of the largest ever seen. Whether you're a spriter, an artist, or just someone that wants to get rid of some extra free time, this is for you!

So what are you waiting for? The longer you wait, the more you miss out on. Click here to register and start your adventure today!

Gettin' Ready for the Big One

So, we've been hard at work getting ready for the impending transfer to the new site. We don't have an ETA yet, but we could be ready to move as early as next weekend, and as late as... sometime after next weekend.

We originally intended to include some polls with this topic, but the stuff we wanted to poll on isn't ready yet. Instead, we have a few new screenshots to share!

Posted Image
The navigation system for the main dex. The OI-Dex will feature a similar navigation, as well as the griddex.

A screenshot of the forums using the default skin. The OI skin isn't ready just yet.



Stay tuned for more!

Back to the Drawing Board

I think I'm running out of cheesy lines for these art sections....

For this week's concept art, we go back to Phoenixsong. And this week, the subject is none other than...

Taegle! Wait, didn't we already do Talonite? Hm....

But It's FREE!

In honor of and about three months later than the release of Pokémon Platinum, we have a brand new, old-fashioned promo for you to take advantage of claim! Make sure to check it out here:

http://orangeislands.net/topic/8561247/1/

Full Stop

That's about it for now. Make sure to keep checking back for updates on the move!

Weather Report - 6/20-6/26
Orange Islands - :sun: It stays hot and sunny, and begins to get more humid as the week stretches on and the tropical storm from Zeralis approaches.
Kanto - :wind: A cold front makes its way through the continent, cooling temperatures and making high winds.
Johto - :wind: The same cold front affecting Kanto pushes through Johto as well, bringing similar conditions as well.
Hoenn - :sun: The storms from last week move out, giving way to warm temperatures and dry conditions.
Sinnoh - :sun: The rainstorms from last week make their way out, and Sinnoh gets its first bit of summer with dry conditions and warm temperatures.
Zeralis - :storm: The tropical depression from last week has evolved into a tropical storm at this point, and will bring frequent downpours and winds of up to 100 mph (161 kmph) throughout the week.

Swarms
Clefairy are swarming in Mt. Moon!
Ralts are swarming in Route 102!

The new site's looking pretty good so far. Can't wait for the transition.

I kind of found it strange that the promo let you get a Porygon-Z just like that. Oh well. Not complaining. After all, who wouldn't want a Porygon-Z at the beginning of the game?

Well, we thought it wouldn't be fair to give away a bunch of lines that can get to their final stage, and then one that you get stuck at the 2nd stage. Unfortunately, it had some unintended side effects.

Life still really sucks

Whoa, dex navigation looks like it'll be sweet.

Try to add in the thing that Psypoke has - type in a Pokémon's name and its page comes up. That's really convenient - if they didn't have the individual pages for stats and moves I'd use that rather than serebii.

It is nice. And different, too, which is also nice. But I think I'll second the request for a name search, if that looks like it might be in the cards anytime soon; most of the more advanced online Pokédexes (Psypoke, Veekun, Legendary Pokémon, etc.) have them and they're a lifesaver, and while a list of names would be more helpful for newbies who have no idea what the OI Pokémon names are, it'd be really helpful for mods and older players to be able to just jump right to the page they want without having to scroll through the lists.
