It's July 28th 2027 6:00 PM UTC time. The servers running pocket monsters online have just gone online. With the new virtuball helmet on your head you click play and go through the set up routine, touching various parts of your body in order to calibrate the game sensors. Calibrating the emotion capture face sensors, making various faces, for the game, and you log on. You're treated to the first screen of the game. Friendly old professor oak.

"Hi there trainer, your name was?" it asked.

It followed up with the question, "Are you a boy or girl?"

Then ended with a selection screen filled with various sliders and options to edit your character's body to your whims, and feature selection screen to select how you want to play your pokemon game.

After answering the questions you saw an aerial view of the starting area, pallet town filled to the brim with the new starting trainers, professor oak's voice said "I'd ask you what your rival's name was...... but there are dozens of them! Enjoy your time in the pokemon World!"

Then it faded to black, and you felt your eyes were closed, leading only to natural open to see Pallet town in all it's glory before you, dozens of small houses, surrounding you. A small market off in the distance, and Professor oak's Laboratory in front of you..... They only thing left, is to go pick up your starter.

Alright... New game... New start. Let's see here.
Name? Easy enough. "Nate Inferno."
Boy or Girl? Stupid question. Didn't think a game like this would ask. Figured it would just know. "Boy"
Alright. Here comes the fun part.
Short.
Bald.
Pale.
Monk-looking outfit. Plain white with golden accents. Should probably choose some monk-like classes to go with that. Hmm... Aw, they got rid of disciple in the 1.05 build? Man, I was looking forward to that from all the previews. Oh well. Looks lime Aura Guardian absorbed it. So that aaaaand... Fortress looks good. That should do it. Oh wait. Martial Artist. Duh. That's exactly what a monk needs.

Alright good. Wha--? No rival? Oh wait. Right. MMO.

As he fazed into being he gathered his bearings. So this is what being the hero is going to feel like... Right? Hopefully no one else beats the game first. Or if they do that won't be it. and other players could win too. Well I suppose this is the best way to find out.

Alright... Step One. Pokemon... What to go with... I heard that we can chose any of the starters... Maybe a Torchic or a Piplup. I always loved the bird looking ones. Oh, maybe a Chikorita. I never gave her much lovei n the original games... Hmm... He contemplated while he walked, thinking about an otherwise simple concept for the entirety of the trip down.

It had been a while since the beta, Fin was wondering how much the game had changed, as the calibration started working. As Oak loads in Finton starts going through all the attributes he has to.

Name. Finton Arbeider. Easy enough same as when he went through the beta.
Boy or Girl. He almost considered going a girl since they were usually trusted almost immediately, he finally decides on a man.

He makes his hair short, blonde and swept back over his head. Tall, taller than most. And a form fitting black shirt and legs with intricate designs, that billows out around him near his legs into long blue feather-like clothing.

His rival was the world he was okay if he couldn't name one.

Looking around as he finally came into the world at all the trainers that were squeezed into Pallet town, Finton wondered just how many of them would be willing to trust him and buy weapons and armor. We will just have to see now won't we. He thinks as he starts striding towards the professors lab.

Now let's see, there used to be a person that gave you a simple quest somewhere around here I think. I bet its been removed so that the beta testers don't get that quick one up on everyone else. I think I'll go with Froakie for a starter. It'll help with that first gym and a couple later on, I need to get to Sinnoh fast, I should probably find some others to help me with that.

Jonathan had been waiting for this moment all day. The time when the servers for Pocket Monsters Online finally went live. He had spent the past few hours debating what starter to go with, and in the end still decided to wait to see what options there were for character creation before making that choice.

It started out like most of the Pokémon games do, though he made a mental note that the gender selection was usually placed before the name selection.

"Name: Saki. Gender: Female." He spoke out loud as he entered the information. It's not like anybody could hear him yet. Next up was appearance. He tweaked the appearance to his preferences, nothing too extreme though. Short stature, long blonde hair and brilliant blue eyes.

Moving on to his favorite part, he read through all of the features available for his trainer and picked out what he assumed would leave him with most options for progression once he had a better grasp of the games mechanics.

Finally done with character creation, he found himself in Pallet town, in front of what he assumed was the lab. "Usually from Pallet town you head into the grass to trigger the next event. However, with this spawn location I think it's a fair assumption that we're intended to go straight into the lab this time around."
Feeling slightly uneasy hearing himself speak in a female voice, he headed straight into Oak's laboratory.

"It's been a long time coming." Kang Tae Hyun thought, double checking everything before putting the helmet on. Like many others, Tae Hyun have waited for the server to go live. But unlike the rest, he'll have more time to play the game due to his weak constitution, though it's been slowly improving over the past year.

"Finally," Tae Hyun murmur to himself after the virtuball helmet and it's system have finished it's calibration. With a deep breathe, Tae Hyun drove into the game. Though unexpected, but not totally surprised, Tae Hyun is greeted by the familiar intro previous Pokémon games have done so many times.

"Weed!" Tae Hyun thought the name sounds most suitable. To him, Weed is the lowliest of the low in the plant kingdom. Perfect for his situation.
"Male!" Though he had debated on the gender before, Tae Hyun decided to stay true to his gender. Sure a female avatar would have more benefits. But the fact playing as a girl would attract a bit more attention to himself then he would like.

Tae Hyun spoke loudly as he entered the information. He had settled on all this information before getting his virtuball helmet. The familiar screen filled with various sliders and options to edit his character's body isn't something new to Tae Hyun. After all, he had play various of games before. Playing around with the sliders for a while to get their feel and seeing the differences each adjustments made, Tae Hyun decided to get serious when after he realized how much time he could spend on character creation alone. He had spend countless hours in just tweaking his avatar in other games before, and would have done so if he could.

Adjusting the sliders and options to match his own frame and build as closely as possible, Tae Hyun opt to make his avatar a bit more athletic looking. He settled on auburn colored hair, reddish-brown in color as oppose to his brown hair, with a darker shade of green for his eyes. Once done, he moved onto the next part of the character creation. After reading through each and every option available to him at character creation, Tae Hyun settles on several options that'll let him immediately bring out his character's personality. Leaving several options that he'll eventually progress towards.

Finally done with character creation, he found himself in a familiar place, Pallet town. First taking a few steps to familiarized himself with the new system, Weed looks around himself, Observing his location and surroundings. Beliving the old coot's laboratory is the best place to start, Weed heads over there. After all, many others are heading towards there as well.

Now the question is which starter should Weed start with.

Kano let his hair down slipping the virtuaball helmet on "Might as well get comfortable, if I work long enough I should be able to flip the account in the next week. Don't want to spend to much time playing games, rots your brain" he said following the calibration instructions 'Seems advanced, it better be for cost. Still it should be easy to make some cash, make a pretty girl, scam some lonely nerds out of their gear and bail' he thought as the game booted up.

The old man from the manual popped up and asked his name "Sweet<3" he entered in 'Cute Username for a cute girl'

Than he asked if he was a boy and a girl 'There's the money maker, games like this let you choose your gender, helmet can't tell the difference' "Girl" he said as he built up the attributes and features 'Trickster because it seems useful, Capture Specialist to catch a bunch of pokemon, and Ninja because a partially nerdy girl into ninjas will be even more popular, and it's combat skills will be useful if things go south'

'Now let's get her look right, a little shorter than me' he said moving the slider down 'Blonde hair on the long side' he said setting the style 'and Hazel eyes' he set before clicking done, before making sure he had a cute voice.

Than the old man made a joke about it being a MMO 'Yeah a lot of rivals, more like a lot of marks' he thought landing in front of Oaks lab

"Testing" he said softly the tone of his voice higher and more pleasent "Perfect, now let's go get the starter" he said heading into the lab, keeping an eye out for anyone checking out his avatar.

The five new trainers walked down the path to Professor oak's laboratory. The building was simple, bicks and a beige paint outside only one story tall. A single white door in the front, and multiple windows around the sides.

As they stepped inside the entire room was rather Barren. There was just a single NPC professor oak standing in front of a long table, with a pokeballs lined up along it. The pokeballs each had a sign over their heads, with the pokedex entry of their pokemon on it, and each pokeball was on top of a pokedex.

Along the walls of the room were various screens giving tutorials about the game. Several players gathered around each one, as the video looped.

Finton walks towards the line of pokeballs and Professor Oak; looking at each display in turn. When he finally arrives at the one for Froakie he looks over the list of abilities and its entry to make sure its what he wanted before picking up both the ball and pokedex. I hope this little girl is as good as the one that beat me in the Beta. I'm going to need her for that first gym.

After acquiring his pokemon he was pretty sure Oak was supposed to give him a speech so while he waited for it to come (if it ever did) he scans the videos trying to figure out if they were all the same video, or if they were all for different aspects of the game. If it was the latter he would head for one that looked to be explaining quests, besides the main beat up all the gym leaders and Elite fours.

"If memory serves me right, grass type starters had an advantage over the initial two gyms in the original games that began in Pallet town. It could be different, but that's all the information I have to go on for now."

Deciding his logic was reasonable, he chose to go with grass for his starter. Having made up his mind, he approached the line of pokeballs and searched for his favorite grass starter - Snivy.

Having collected his first pokemon, he stood behind a crowd of players and joined them in watching various tutorial videos for a short while.

Observing the room, Weed walks towards the old man. Wearing on his best friendly smile, Weed acknowledged the professor. "Hi Professor Oak, it's good to meet you." Weed wonders if the the Pokémon Professor would say anything beside what would be standard to the original games. Maybe if he chat him up, he'll get a quest?

"There's quite a lot of trainers in here. You must be delighted so many have come to help fullfill your dream." Weed quickly scans the room to the table lined with Pokéballs above a Pokédex. He waits to see if Professor Oak would respond to him. Waiting for the appropriate moment, Weed steps towards the table and picks up a Pokéball containing a Squirtle. Turning to face Professor Oak, "The journey may be dangerous, but I'm sure my partner and I would be glad to help you fullfill your dreams." Weed gives the old professor a smile.
