How to Join

On this page you will find all you will need to know on how to join Pokemon Nation. Please follow the instructions listed here and on the Joining Journal on the site in order to successfully become a member!

Preparing for Opening Day

The first thing you should do is review all of the journals. In doing so, you can familiarize yourself with the group's rules, regulations, and processes.

  • Once you believe that you have read over everything thoroughly at least once, the only thing you can do now is wait for Opening Day. PKMNation has monthly openings, usually on the first Saturday of each month. So take the time to look everything over precisely!
  • You can take a look at current references, images, journals, etc. that are in the group to get familiar with how things operate more. It can be easier to understand everything by doing this.

Opening Day

Once Opening Day comes around, Join Requests will officially be open. One of the Champions will post a new journal with the questions that you need to answer in order to join. Here's a general "to do" on opening day.

  1. Look over the new questions for this month's opening.
    • These questions are always different every month. They can range from easy to difficult depending on how much of the journals you read.
    • Please do not request or accept help from people who are already members. The moderators will likely deny your request if we see or hear about this. It would not be fair to those who did not gain assistance.
  2. Work on your answers.
    • Join requests are typically open from 12:00 AM that day to 11:59 that night. You have almost a full 24 hours to send in a request. Take your time, look closely and don't skim.
    • If you find yourself getting frustrated because you can't find an answer, we encourage you to take a break and do something else for a bit. Once you've cleared your mind, it may be easier finding that answer that you couldn't before.
    • If you absolutely cannot find an answer, put down your best guess. The worst you can do is not answer a question.
  3. Send in your Join Request with the answers on them
    • Usually putting the question and the answer in your request is encouraged, but not required.
    • Please remember that we are a primarily English speaking group. While we do have members whose native language is not English, we still need to be able to understand what it is you're writing or it becomes difficult for all parties involved. Please be patient with us if we have to ask you to clarify on things.
    • Please be patient when waiting on a reply. Most of the moderators on the team are in school and it's possibly we aren't available at the time. As long as you get your join request in within the allotted time, you have nothing to worry about. We will get to it.
