In this article, I'll go in depth on the subject of how to RP on the ladder. With a satirically serious tone, I'll inform the reader on how they can roleplay with their avatar choices, pokemon choices and behavior. One example could be:
The Non-Canonical Gym Leader
Many players enjoy roleplaying as Gym Leaders on the ladder. Note: this is a different category from the Canonical Gym Leader Roleplayers, who follow the teams from their favorite bosses both in-game and in the anime. The Non-Canonical Gym Leader can always be found with a monotype team, and will always choose an avatar to match the type they've chosen. If you want to be a Non-Canonical Gym Leader, follow these steps:
1. Change your name. Gym Leaders always have a special title, so consider something along the lines of "Gym Leader xXx_charizard420_xXx" when choosing a name.
2. Build a monotype team. It doesn't matter if you cover your weaknesses, as long as your pokemon look really cool together!
3. Try to give your opponent a TM if they beat you.
4. Make sure to talk in character! At the beginning of the game, make sure to have a monologue ready to be pasted into the chat. That way your challengers know what they're up against!
I'll also include tropes such as the "In-Game Team Battler", the "Eeveelutions Master" and "Ash."
