Kairuu; it is the name of a region little-known to the outside world. Its history is filled with uncertainty; with a background based primarily on myths and stories, no one is completely sure about what formed this great, beautiful region. But one thing is fact: skyscrapers piece the heavens, wireless connections buzz through the air, and people are wired. Despite being built on legend, Kairuu is a region of technology and science. Even so, the environment is well looked after, and Pokémon thrive.
Kairuu is filled with possibilities; from becoming the Elite Champion or Coordinator to conquering the Superbeasts that roam freely. Will you take on the challenge? The limelight is waiting.

We've got huge news. Some of you may not be so eager to hear it, but Jen and I have made our decision. We hope you will all be supportive and follow through with us onto the next big thing.
It's been a blast, Kairuu. The memories will always linger, and they will be held close to our hearts.
October 6th, 2009.
The October Promotional is now up! Go claim your goodies.
September 25th, 2009.
This is just a notice that TP [Travel Points] are no longer in use - we've removed them from the rules, and they will no longer be required as payment for any features, such as the Amia Estates, Adoption Agency, or any other Other Areas. -Bijuu [aka Jen/Near]
September 22ed, 2009 Click here. Rules in the board sticky. Participate. Oh, and we need some mods. So go apply--right now, we're being extremely lenient, so... do it. -Alli
September 4th, 2009 Mod/gmod applications are now open. If you have what it takes and plan to stay loyal, feel free to apply.
*note: For the next month or two, we are allowing some leniency with rules requiring activity on Kairuu. You must obviously be trying to be active, but... well, just read the notes in the thread.

August 8th, 2009 Check out the announcements.
Not all announcements will show up on every board, so make sure you check by there. Moderator applications are now open. Also, remember to check the Events side box under the cbox, you'll see a lot of stuff show up there! Currently we still have our opening promotional up, and it'll be up for a little while longer. Remember to read the rules, even if you were a member before, because they've ALL been rewritten and redone, and there's a lot of new stuff, including the contests. Also, if you have any suggestions for how we could make the breeding profession work on Kairuu, please send in your ideas here.
And yes, I still need to fix the new hacks guide.
-Alli
August 6th, 2009 Kairuu's back!
Obviously. If you didn't notice the increased amount of light emitting from your screen or the fact that you can now actually access the place. Yeah.
Alright, well, here we go! Welcome to all new members, and welcome back to all of our old, dear friends! I'm not going to rant on here; check out the announcement for a list of new features and such. There's a page in the cafe that will tell you about the new hacks, as well. Well, get to work guys! -Alli
Note!: The new hacks guide is giving me a little bit of trouble, so give me a bit to fix it up. I'll tell you guys when it's corrected! Sorry.
Seasonal information will be available ASAP.
I just need to make the images and such.

A new business has rocked the region as of late; Cohen Industries, it is called. No one knows how it became so popular so fast, but it's CEO has become a very rich man in a very short span of time. It has lent Kairuu technology that has benefited some of the most important functions of a Pokémon Region, such as Pokémon centers. No one knows what they're planning for, but it seems that stopping by wouldn't be a waste of time...

A new NPC has emerged--Calista! An NPC profile will be made for her soon. Until then, check out her quest bulletin! Her quests are special in that no single person can claim it; it will always be open, and updated occasionally to request new types of berries.
A new shop has popped up! Go here for the chance to get a rare berry once per day!
There is now a subboard under character profiles specifically for NPCs. If you have any NPCs under the contest version of NPC creation, in the contests board, please move them. Each NPC should have it's own thread; if there are any sorts of groups, such as bands, they should share a thread--the title should be the name of the group (such as the band name). An index will be made eventually.

Updates and Announcements This board is just that. Announcements show up on all boards, but they'll always be posted here. We recommend reading them, because most of them will affect members somehow.
The Encyclopedia (1 sub-board) The Kairuuan Encyclopedia contains bits of history and folklore that are constantly being added to as new information surfaces; it also includes a Pokédex of beasts unique to the region.
Members are free to create new Pokédex entries for their creations as long as they are accepted by staff.

Do not try to guess the password; it will be changed.

Talent Search (1 sub-board) Got talent? Can you draw, paint, create cool graphics, take awesome photos, dance, sing, or do anything not listed above that is considered apart of the artistic world?
Well, post your drawings, graphics, photos, videos, and whatever else inside, and let others feed your ego with compliments.
Also, this is where you may open commissions.
