You just found it—the first ever short story contest for the light role-playing experience, Gotta Catch ‘Em All. This is your opportunity to obtain a special starter Pokémon for your GCEA adventure! This contest is open to all GCEA members—if you’d like to enter, but are not a member yet, feel free to sign-up today!

So let’s get cracking!

In order to earn this special starter Pokémon, you will need to write a short story that meets the following requirements:

1.) Your story must be over 1500 words
2.) Your story must include your GCEA character but here’s the thing; your GCEA character does not have to be the main character in your story. You can have your story be through the eyes of a Pokémon, friend, family and so on!
3.) Your story must be turned in before the deadline on September 22, before 12:00 EST

And those are your only requirements! As you can see, this contest is pretty much open to your creativity. Anyone and everyone who meets those two requirements will receive a starter from their character’s home region.

But that’s not all—the best entries will also receive bonus items to boot! These will be based on who had the most creativity, with the least amount of spelling/grammar errors. So get out there and do your best, but don’t forget to have fun!

How to Submit an Entry:

1.) Post your story in the Writer’s Desk board in the forum.
2.) Post a link to your story in the contest thread in the Gotta Catch ‘Em All
3.) Feel like a boss ;)

While there’s no limit to your creativity, I have a few simple rules:

1.) Stories must abide by all forum rules
2.) No content above PG-13; I would humbly request that any strong language be censored

With that said and done, have at ye! :D
