Welcome to the Ultraviolet Asylum.PKMN-SWITCH is an anthro pokemon group, set in the future in a great big building known as the UVA. Residents of the UVA will have 'switches', which allows them to transform into certain feal pokemon whenever they wish.
Lady Reshiram
Co-Founder of the Ultraviolet Asylum + Big Bossy PersonYo mortals. For the past few years, I, the great, legendary Lady Reshiram and my assistant Dr. something-or-another have been working on this great new technology called switching. It's a simple process really. I mean, I've got no clue how it works, but apparently you just walk into a machine, take a step out, and from then on you can transform into a certain feral pokemon. This is completely new and exists nowhere else, but there's a teeny tiny drawback.
Once you get a switch you can never leave the Ultraviolet Asylum. I mean, it's not that bad, this place is real awesome. And if you don't like it, go and complain to somebody, that's what mortals do, right?
Dr. Viola
Co-Founder of the Ultraviolet Aslum + Leader of SwitchingUm. Hello. Well, Reshiram's really explained it, but weclome anyway. The Ultraviolet Asylum is a special place where you can go and get special transformations called switches. The page about them is right here -
pkmn-switch.deviantart.com/jou… - if you want to know more. To get into the Asylum, just fill in a form and send it in, oh, but don't forget the rules and such too.
And yes. Once you come to the UVA you're hear for life, unfortunately. It's simply not safe to let 'magic' people go about transforming, what if somebody finds out? Me and Reshiram will be in a lot of trouble. Well, it was Reshiram's idea to keep this a secret, but anyway. Life in the UVA is exactly like the outside. You can make friends and do lots of exciting things here, and I always try my best to keep it interesting by opening new things and taking suggestions from everybody. And who knows. Maybe someday the switches will 'get out there' and you can be free again. Don't count on it though.
FAQWhat kind of group is this?This is an
anthro pokemon rp group. There are also feral transformations and a futuristic theme.
Can I join?If there's an opening going on, then yes. You should check out all the necessary blogs first, however.
What is a 'switch'?Please see the blogs for more information.
Basically, it's a feral transformation of your anthro character.
Are you looking for mods?No. I might be in the future, but not right now.
What kind of art is allowed?Any, traditional, digital, pixel - whatever you do.
Although we allow writing, the group is art-focused. You must be able to draw something for your app or for events, for example. We won't judge you purely on your style or ability of art.
How many characters can we have?Only one for now, but no doubt there'll be second characters in the future. You can't have two characters in the same app, unless they're somehow connected (certain species like dodrio, for example).
What pokemon can we use?Any non-legendary official pokemon except ditto, zoura and zoroark, or the 6th gen ones.
Ditto, zoura and zoroark are not allowed because they might cheat switches with transformations, while gen 6 don't have enough information about them yet.
Can our characters evolve?Yep. Your anthro characters can evolve as soon as they have the appropriate item (see the shop).
Switches cannot evolve, but I'm planning to add that in the future. Switch evolution is completely independent, so you can have an unevolved character switching into a second stage pokemon if you wanted.
