Welcome to the World of Pokémon!

Yes, that's right, Routers and PokéFans! Pokémon Prom is once again coming to a Route near you, and we're incredibly hype to be bringing it to you one last time before the transition into Victory Road.

(There's still one more event between now and prom, but since prom tends to be a pretty big event, we wanted to get this out to you with a little time to anticipate and plan!)

So let's get right to it, with what you can expect from this year's PokéProm!

( OTHERWISE KNOWN AS PROM 4: ELECTRIC BOOGA-MORE! )

SOMEWHERE
( DAY 27/11. 00:00. )
The fourth wall begins now!
If you've got any questions, consult the mini-FAQ or go ahead and ask in the comments!

We're also using this post to track fourth wall threads!
Please put your character's name and series in the post (preferably in the subject line) with your link!

And a Mingle Log!
For individuals who wish to participate with characters not in the game, make a general post here, tag general posts here, go wild!!

From Sunday, the tree has been making its rounds.



As midnight comes, the familiar flash of light is accompanied by bright spurts of colors, and the fluttering of paper. As the light dims into darkness, a strange fog of sleepiness falls across everyone, welcoming them into a settled dreamland.

Fourth Wall is now over!
Thank you for participating, everyone!

I hope you guys made your wishes already. If not, feel free to continue doing so. Items begin appearing in the morning, starting at sunrise. A curious little pokemon begins to make his rounds by mid-afternoon. But a mild mess of items remaining, items that may have been wished for during the Fourth Wall, still remain in the cities. Things are a mess.


At approximately 8:00 AM on Monday morning, one message appears on every Rocket's gear:

Agents -
You all have one mission: Capture the pokemon Jirachi.
You have seven days. The one(s) to bring him to us will receive a wonderful bonus from The Boss.



The Wishes are underway. If you have any questions on this, please ask here.

Following the first two chaotic days of fourth wall...

In the early morning of Sunday, May 31st, a small beam of light shines from beyond the horizon. The chaos from the past two days continues to run amok, but something just feels a little different. Call it a hunch if you want, ignore it if you feel like. But soon, you hear something:

It's a small, youthful voice that whispers, "Do you have a wish?" Is someone around you? Whispering from a distance? Or merely an echo in your mind? Who knows.

During the day, wish trees appear in every city. Colorful strips of paper lay in a small basket next to it, with a small piece of ribbon tied to it: write a wish, tie it to the tree. Given a slight wind, some pieces of the wish paper drift away from the city and along the trails.


On Monday, June 1st, as the portal to many other worlds glitches and closes... your wishes will start to come true.


What's summoning these wishes?


Jirachi!

Reputed to have the power to grant wishes, Jirachi only awakens for seven days every thousand years.

( WHEN YOU WISH UPON A STAR... )

As per the usual, normal is nothing but unrestrained chaos.

( What did Team Rocket do now? )


So your days of interest are as follows:

May 28: last day for Rocket members to sign up for traveling
May 29 - May 31: Fourth Wall Event
May 31: Jirachi awakens. Wish trees begin.
June 1 - June 6: Wishes galore! Last day to submit a Scenario for bringing Jirachi to the boss.
June 6, evening: Jirachi returns the world to as it was, and is captured this
same night. Winner of writing scenario is revealed!


More questions? Ask us here!

And just as midnight strikes, a large clap of thunder echoes through the sky as lightning engulfs the surroundings once more. It doesn't take long at all, but rain clouds scatter in, and soon, it's pouring. Assisting with the new wave of uncomfortable sleeping powder in the air (thanks again, Professor Elm), there's a light fog, a haze encouraging everyone to dream away the past few days, that will clear up before sunrise. The rain stays a little heavy until early morning hours, leading into scattered showers once the sun rises.

Fourth Wall is now over!
Thank you for participating, everyone!

As the music returns to normal, the scenery remaining untouched as it had been as of Thursday evening, things fall back into place. The footage on the gears remains as it had been filmed, although the times and dates are all missing. It's not too hard to remember what took place, but the professors have nothing to say about it.

If you listen closely, you may hear a softly spoken, "We're sorry," upon waking. Was it someone in the room? From your gears? A pokemon? Who knows.

To assist with forced normalcy, station 18.5J - Let's All Sing, has decided to celebrate the season of celebrations by playing a plethora of holiday songs, of many different holidays, and some songs of many holidays in one. They'll be playing this until New Year's.

That's right, pokepeople! We're back! It's an itty one, so have fun with it!

As is usual for our semi-annual 4th Wall events, following the cue from a mod post, there will be a loud crack and a flash of white light in our regions of Johto and Kanto. When your characters blink a few times, the scene before their eyes will return to normal... however... there will be a lot more people, or beings, in the cities, or along the routes, or even just trolling about on the PokéConnect.

Paths will be absurdly easy to travel, or, if you want, uncommonly difficult. It can take as long or as little as you want it to in order to go from city to city, and you can check out whatever building you want. Hell, if your character is accidentally caught in the glitch, they may wake up in an unfamiliar place!

Oh, yes, it's that time again! And more importantly, because it's our FOUR-YEAR FOURTH WALL, we're bringing it to you with a bonus FOURTH DAY OF FOURTH-WALLIN' attached!

GOLDENROD CITY

And that concludes Fourth Wall! We hope you enjoyed your new encounters with our bi-yearly visitors. However, the confusion doesn’t quite end here!

( IT REALLY ISN'T OVER YET, YOU GUYS ... )



Happy third birthday, Route!


If you have any questions about this event, feel free to ask us here!

I'm sure you've all see how beautiful our weather has been lately. The heat's gotten a little out of control, to the point where even the electronics can feel it. Our little machine, whom we all so dearly love, is definitely sweating in its circuits. In short, the heat completely fries and breaks it.

Because of this, Applications will be closed until June 15th-16th. (You may want to leave your plans kind of open until then, just so ya know.)

But it also means we get our bi-yearly weekend visitors. As the Rockets send out a squad to hopefully locate this machine, our yearly chaos runs amok for the rest of us.

That's not all! While the portal summoning the visitors closes at midnight, EST on Sunday, the chaos does not end there. But that's another story.
