Misc:

Standing on the shores of Cherrygrove is lone woman. The breeze appears to still in the space around her. An unnatural shadow hangs in the air around her as she hums to herself, a tune that fades inexplicably around the edges and warps around itself. She turns; light is snuffed out like sodden wick. A quickly flashed grin and the shadows seize upon the ground. A soft chuckle melts into laughter.
You can also fight me on Pokemon Battle Revolution. FC: 5197-9481-7970
- If you would like to fight my rounded competitive team for either game, just ask!

Availabilities: Pokemon Online, RP on Skype or Blog
Badge/Reward: The Speed Badge, design is a minimalistic tire with a speed flare. Shapewise, think an inverted Hidden Leaf symbol.
Misc: Battles are fought in motion. We will be simultaneously fighting, and racing around the track in my gym. Think Yugioh 5Ds, or the Lightning Chariot battle from Kid Icarus Uprising.
Could someone explain how the hell you use Pokémon online? Neither the site nor the application seems to come with any instructions. The team builder is deceptively complicated and I can't even figure out if I have a trainer ID or account or anything. :(
This page explains the basics, as written by PO.
Here is additional fansite information.
These links may not clarify everything, however. I personally have not used PO before, though I will check it out this weekend and report back what I can.
I also invite PO users to submit helpful information if they can answer this question!

Misc: I’m hoping that soon, I’ll be in possession of a 3DS so that I can battle some of you guys! I would love for that, seeing as I need my Pokemon fix now. I’ve never been involved in any Pokemon RPing before, but I’m eager to jump in and would be happy to RP with anyone who wanted to! I have Skype, MSN, Yahoo, and AIM to use, so feel free to contact me about any of those!
If we want to submit as a gym leader, is it okay if our team isn't completely of our type (IE: one or two being outside of the monotype range for variety) or would you prefer the whole team being monotype?
I don’t see an issue with that—for the most part.
If you look at Clair, Johto’s dragon-type gym leader, her fighting dojo team contains four dragon types, then gyarados and charizard. However, while they aren’t dragons, they still fit her theme.
If you’re going to be a gym leader that specializes in a single type but would like to include other pokemon like that, I’d suggest keeping your overall theme in mind. They at least ought to know moves from your type specialty.
Try to include only 1 of these type deviations if your team is any less than 6 pokemon. If you’re running a 6 pokemon team, you may bump it up to 2, but be careful. If you’re a fire gym leader, don’t use those 2 slots for electivires.
Just be smart about it, and it shouldn’t be an issue.
Hey, so is there going to be like an official start to this or should I just start reaching out to people who've already been approved?
By all means, start!
Since this is week one, the kinks are still being ironed out. But that shouldn’t deter you from striking up battles/communication with other trainers.
Go for it!
