What Happened to the OME? What is the OME? The Opaddekan Military Establishment still exists, but not as a join-able team. If you belonged to the OME, you still have your previous rank and may RP with that how you wish, you even still have all of your nifty items but cannot buy more of them. OME will now only surface to assist in storylines, free-forms, and site-wide events. It's a tool to use when needed.
But what was it, you ask? I suppose if you're new here, you're going to wonder. OME is Opaddeka's military and was once a team that you could be a part of. Floyd is the General of the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Like any government, OME is a powerful entity to contend with and any enemy that reared its ugly head was either stamped out or simply died off without any support. The OME lost member interest as a team, in part because its theme was too serious. Most players prefer a more laid back atmosphere to exercise their creativity. The barren icy wasteland did not play in its favor as a successful team. However, OME has played a significant role in Opaddeka's history, and because every great nation is protected by a great military, it only makes sense to maintain the OME as site wide plot device.
About Genesis So, you're wondering why this team has just popped up, right? Well, as said in the previous spoiler, OME was too serious. People were losing interest. One team left on the board just isn't acceptable. So, without completely removing such an important part of Opaddeka's history, the OME has created a non-military based branch dedicated to 'beating the game'. In short this team is a true team, where as the OME was an all-powerful organization. Maybe team isn't even a proper description. An exclusive club might better describe it. Genesis is located on an island resort!
Genesis' initial purpose is to help people prepare for gyms, locate the HM's, meet people, share pokedex info, and....beat the E4. But that's not all. Unlike most teams of the past, its tropical island resort is not restricted to members only. Services provided by the island are discounted to the members and some areas are reserved for members only, but all trainers are welcome.
Genesis is an island paradise accessible via it's own small airport and harbor. Whether you arrive by boat, plane, helicopter, or pokemon, you'll find that this tropical island paradise is home to a small town filled with curious little shops, an expansive jungle to explore, beautiful beaches, ancient temples, and a network of underground caverns. There is really no end to this little slice of the good life. And we haven't even told you about the hotel yet!
The resort itself plays host to several hundred acres of rolling hills, gardens, and fields where members are free to let their own pokemon roam free, completely pampered and catered to by the resort's expert staff. The island's curious crescent moon shape provides a natural lagoon with deep inviting waters that the hotel takes full advantage of. With the building built into the side of a cliff, its lower levels dip beneath the tranquil waves where trainers can lounge before inviting window views of the underwater world where their sea fairing pokemon are free to play. A luxurious spa, well stocked bar, and ballroom aside, Genesis is home to its own medical facilities to better aid you and your pokemon. You might just need them! Our training battle simulator is one of a kind. Challenge your fellow trainers and best friends to a battle! Join in on treasure hunts, competitions, races, and more.
If you can dream of it, you'll find it here at Genesis Island.
I've Just Joined, Now What? Now you start having fun. There is no limit to what you can imagine being on Genesis. The island is completely non-canon and while you are not required to have a joining post, its central purpose is for RPing and meeting other trainers. We do not provide starter pokemon nor do you receive wages as you might have on previous teams. We have other benefits that are much better than free stuff.
Accessible to Team Members Only: The Team Shop Pokemon Grounds Archeological Ruins Jungle Spa
Accessible to Team Members and Guests: Pokecenter Pokemart Beach (Surfing lessons, beach combing for items)
