Pokémon Animé Mafia - Revenge of the Rivals
"And with Trip's last Pokémon down, the winner of the Unova leage is Ash Ketchum, from Pallet Town!"
The crowd in the stadium roared. The final battle of the tournament had come and they were in no way disappointed at what they had witnessed. Ash ran up to his Pikachu and knelt by its side.
"We've did it buddy. We can challenge the Elite 4!"
Pikachu smiled back, barely capable of moving due to exhaustion from the battle. Ash looked up to thank Trip for the most memorable match in his life. There was no one there.
Trip stormed through the backstage area of the stadium, head down, not wanting to meet eyes with any of the employees working behind the scenes. These people were not who he wanted to speak with. Only specific individuals were on his mind. He needed to contact them as soon as possible if he wanted to make sure that the trainer from the boonies never achieved anything from his victory.
It's time to abandon the basics.

Overview
Hi, and thank you for viewing this thread. Revenge of the Rivals is a mafia game that as you have guessed by now, is based on the Pokémon Animé, in a fictional future after the Unova League. It will involve animé characters only, and only characters that have appeared in an episode from the very first episode to BW27, the latest episode to have aired at the time of writing. Parts of the (very light) story will be revealed throughout the game, and actions taken by the players will have an effect. Players will each be given a role, which is a Pokémon.
Overall, this game aims to be a "standard" mafia game in that there are no unusual rules or gimicks, just a theme.
How mafia games work
Edited from Mintaka's, which is edited from Rayne's...
There are two sides for the players. One side is "Ash's Pokémon", and the other is the “Rival's Pokémon”. The majority of the players are Ash's Pokémon (I will sometimes (well, nearly always) refer to them as “innocent”). Rival's Pokémon will be sometimes referred to as "mafia". Many players will do so in themed games, so I recommend learning this.
Most of the innocent players do not know each other. Their goal is to get rid of all the mafia players.
The mafia players know each other from the start of the game. Their goal is to outnumber the town players.
As soon as one side achieves its goal, the game ends.
At every “Day”, all players are allowed to vote a person to be lynched. At the end of the day, the person with the most votes is ‘killed’ or removed from play.
Mafia makes a kill during the Night phases.
(Just to avoid confusion; in this game, as long as at least one mafia player is alive during the night and they nominate a target to me, the night kill will be made.)
Some players have special abilities that can be activated at Day or Night, or anytime. There may be other conditions for activations so keep those conditions in mind. They will be stated in your role PM.

Rules
Please, please follow these rules. They are intended to make the game fair and enjoyable for every player as well as myself as host. Breaking some rules will result in a godkill, which means that I effectively kill the Pokémon that you are and you are out of play.
Edited from Mintaka's...
#1. As the host, I claim the right to add, edit, or delete rules as needed in this game.
#2. I will modkill for:
- Without warning: Role PMs can never be distributed. Don't share them. They cannot be posted in the thread. They cannot be shared via PMs. Even among mafia members, don't share your role PMs.
- Posting PM conversations in the thread. If you want to share them, do it ‘privately’ via PMs or QuickTopic. If you want to share information from a PM, then re-word it.
- Poor sportsmanship. We're here to have fun. I'll do my best not to make mistakes. Please bear with me.
- Inactivity: If you must be absent, then please tell me. I will not modkill or replace you then. But keep in mind; you can be killed in-game (lynch or night kill). You will be considered inactive if you do not post in the thread, contact myself or other players for three phrases consecutively. Inactivity kills the game and it is unfair on myself, and on other players, if you do not plan to be active by choice.
#3. I would like copies of your PMs. Conversations, planning, anything. It will help me write accurate plots and check for any mischief/mistakes. If you make a QuickTopic, please give me the link. If you use a name other than your username, tell me what name you’re using in the QT.
I have no idea how to use IRC channel or whatever else, so I’d appreciate it if you use QuickTopic. (Blame my ignorance and wacky laziness.)
#4. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me via PM. I will answer to the most extent possible.
#5. If you change your username, please post in the thread AND send me a Visitor Message/Private Message.
#6. Once you’re dead, please refrain from posting in the thread. Some simple “last words” should be fine. As for contacting via PMs or QT, I’ll be fine with that. I would like to limit to for sharing information acquired prior to death (like cop reports) or for strategic purposes. Send me the copies of the PMs, please.
#7. For voting, say "Vote: [player]" or "Lynch [player]". To cancel that, just post "Unvote: [player]" and then post a new name if you want to. You may vote to not lynch a player; please say "Vote: No lynch" for this.
For any vote, please bold your text. This will make it easier for me to tabulate votes as well as ensuring that I can change the phases more quickly, which results in a smoother game.
About night actions, you can change the target too, as long as it's before I am updating it. Some night actions will take effect upon the moment that I read the PM, so keep that in mind.
#8. ABOUT ROLE-CLAIMING
As long as you do not share your role PM, you may claim to be whatever Pokémon you like to other players. You may also claim actions.
#9. You may post quicktopic links in the thread.

Phases
Each phase will last for 24 hours unless specified.
Phase changing will occur at 10pm, assuming GMT+1, which is my current timezone. If for any reason I cannot update at this time, I will do my best to give you prior notice and say when the update will occur.
Players
There are 25 slots available initially. If more people want to play, I will create more slots. If demand is less than 25, I will knock off a few slots so that the game may start. There are three sub spots going if you would like to substitute for a player if they can no longer play, or if I feel like given an inactive's role to someone else.

I hope you all have a lot of fun.
