The Pokemon League of Sinnoh Elite Academy Trainer graduates are the movers and shakers of the Pokemon World. Few gym leaders, Elites, and frontier brains have earned their position without a certification from an Elite Academy. After receiving your acceptance letter to Sinnoh Elite Academy, it’s your turn to be the very best, like no one ever was.
Elite Academy is a statless, literate Pokemon college role play. Students are limited to one Pokemon at the start and may gain more as they progress. We strive to create a literate, collaborative, creative environment where people respect one another and have fun.

A Quick Summary
[attr="class","eapcon2"]
Sinnoh Elite Academy doesn't just have the very best students, it has the very best teachers. Every member of the faculty is at the top of their field, from their fiercely competitive battle instructor to the passionate and artistic head groundskeeper. [break][break]
As diverse as the staff may be, they all work in unison to help the school pump out the very best trainers, scientists, and performers that the world has ever known. [break][break]
It's easy for students to forget that their instructors have personal lives, as well as secrets that they keep from their class and even each other. But there's always whispers to be heard, the rumors surrounding the more prominent members of the faculty. But there's so many that they can't ALL be true. Right?

KEY FIGURES
DEAN / HEADMASTER
Shinji Shigetaka
[attr="class","eanpcon"]
The official in charge of SEA, Dean Shigetaka helped form the academy over 50 years ago. He has no cell phone and struggles with most technology unrelted to Pokemon battling. The current rumor is that he's a reanimated fossil. Walks with a limp. Stern and old-school, but hopeful for the enthusiasm the next generation will bring.
CURRENT MASCOT
Grumbledore IV
[attr="class","eanpcon"]
Grumbles is the fourth in a prestigious line of Munchlaxes to represent the academy. He takes his job very seriously and assists the dean in patrolling the academy grounds when needed. Don't let his unevolved state fool you, though--Grumbles is capable of taking down the strongest of Pokemon, all on his own. Also, the Munchlax you see picking food out of the dumpster? Totally not him. At all. No way.
PREVIOUS MASCOT
Grumbledore III
[attr="class","eanpcon"]
Grumble is the most recent mascot to evolve into a Snorlax. As a recent graduate of the institution, she spends her days blocking sidewalks and roadways in Hearthome City proper.
PROFESSORS
Battle Professor
Olivia Barnes
[attr="class","eanpcon"]
Bonafide badass and former member of the Unova Elite Four Olivia Barnes will kick your butt on and off the battlefield and have fun doing it. She's relatively calm most of the time but can’t help but get hyped up in the presence of a good battle. Her whole life has been spent training with pokemon and she's proficient with all types, though she has a preference toward Bug, Steel and Poison types. There’s rumors that she took this position in order to find an apprentice to personally groom into a champion, but after years of teaching she has yet to do so. Her methodologies rewards unorthodox tactics and thinking, even if it includes underhanded strategies. On the other hand she absolutely despises cowardice and overly defensive strategies that lack proper thought behind them.
Physical Conditioning Professor
Kentaro Kawaguchi
[attr="class","eanpcon"]
He will make you and your pokemon wish you were never born. He’s all about pushing it to the limit and then dragging yourself another hundred yards. This man lives to feel the burn. His training companion is a shockingly muscular Gardevoir that he claims could beat any typical Gallade in an arm wrestling match. When he’s not working out he’s usually working on his self help book that he’s been trying to get finished for over a year now. He often tests his motivational theories on students, using them as guinea pigs as he documents their reactions and performances after his usually lengthy speeches.
League Policy Professor
Haruto Abe
[attr="class","eanpcon"]
A bureaucrat through and through. Very stiff and expects perfection from his students. No one really likes him, but the students who want to learn can see that his heart is in the right place. He desperately wants his students to succeed, though it’s unclear if it’s for their sake or just to make himself look good. His course offers little reward for creative thinking but always commends a by the book approach. In secret he likes to unwind by reading saucy romance novels that he keeps locked in his desk, though he usually hides them behind textbooks so no one knows what he's actually reading.
Pokemon Sciences Professor
Abraham Carter
[attr="class","eanpcon"]
He’s smarter than you, and he knows it. A prodigy of the sciences with an encyclopedic knowledge of everything he teaches. Abraham doesn’t care how his students work or what methods they use so long as they get the job done and come to the correct results. He's often described as being stoic, deadpan and very sparse with commendation. Oddly enough he has promised a reward to anyone that can make him laugh. Though many suspect this is just a technique he uses to weed out the clowns, as he often kicks out students who goof around during class. Plays the saxophone in his spare time and has a love for theatre.
PKMN-Human Studies Professor
Inaya Ali
[attr="class","eanpcon"]
She thinks pokemon are people. She loves them like her own children and has great reverence for the role they take in history and society. Isn’t too fond of pokemon battling, but does her best to hold her tongue about the topic. Instead she encourages her students to pursue lasting relationships with their pokemon that are focused around mutual understanding than bonds forged through battle. She's also a staunch vegan that gets queasy at the mere thought of eating a pokemon or any pokemon byproducts, though she does a very good job of hiding her distaste for such things. She heavily rewards people who show love to their pokemon but very harshly judges people who don’t show proper respect to them.
Coordination Professor
Takehiko Yamauchi
[attr="class","eanpcon"]
Coordinating is serious business, and Takehiko expects all of his students to view it as such. He’s a hard worker who puts everything into every single performance, and he pushes his students to do the same. In the world at large he is a renowned fashion designer as well as a top performer with a reputation for finding the beauty in unusual pokemon, such as his signature duo of Torkoal and Conkeldurr. He places a high emphasis on including the trainer on performances rather than simply standing by and allowing the pokemon to do all the work. As hard as it is for newer students to believe, Take plays just as hard as he works. He may be harsh and rigid during his classes and when conducting business, but some students claim to have found him roughhousing with his pokemon after classes are out and having the time of his life.
RESIDENT ASSISTANTS
Pearl Resident Assistant
Jane Doe
[attr="class","eanpcon"]
The most feared woman on campus. She runs the dorm like a drill sergeant, barking orders and demanding that everyone follow the rules put forth to the letter. Her punishments are as harsh as they are creative, ranging from forcing students to perform embarrassing acts to signing them up for additional courses against their will. No one knows anything about her personal life, but some students claim that they have spotted her off campus but all of them say that they hardly recognized her. The most common rumor is that she was seen going to a local karaoke bar dressed in a fancy dress, something far too extravagant for such a place. She dismisses these rumors without a second thought, stating that they are simply tales spread by dissatisfied students attempting to undermine her authority.
Diamond Resident Assistant
Akira Joy
[attr="class","eanpcon"]
One of the few males born to the Sinnoh Joy family. Like most Joys he is an experienced pokemon doctor, but his personal interests spread across various fields. It's immediately obvious that he's a soft hearted man who wants nothing more than for the students under his care to become happy and healthy individuals. He always makes sure that the common area is stacked with healthy (aka not tasty) snacks and is always willing to lend a listening ear should any problems arise. He's also constantly trying to think of fun wholesome activities for his students to help keep them out of trouble, and continues to do so despite a lack of attendees. But one should not be mistaken, as he is aware that discipline is an important part of a stable upbringing. It may not be easy for him, but one shouldn't confuse his kindness for weakness.
Platinum Resident Assistant
Minako Fujita
[attr="class","eanpcon"]
The RA with the most hands off approach. She's very calm and relaxed in all her ways, giving her a very peaceful and generally pleasant presence. She prefers to allow students to make their own mistakes and correct them then rather than constantly nagging them about following the rules. When she gets serious she has an icy glare that would even make a rampaging Tyranitar stop in its tracks and second guess itself. One of the worst things a student could do is make her set down her tea to deal with them, which is always a sign that someone is in some very serious trouble. Running or attempting to hide things from her only makes things worse, as any experienced student could tell you. Once she catches wind of something being amiss she rarely fails to find out all the details she needs to handle the situation.
GENERAL STAFF
Head Nurse
Ruby Joy
[attr="class","eanpcon"]
In charge of all things related to student medicine. Runs the clinic with an iron fist. During cold and flu season, hunts students down to harass them to get vaccinated, and forces any contagious students on bed rest. There will be no sickness at the academy on her watch.
Head of Janitorial Services
Adam Beckert
[attr="class","eanpcon"]
This tired ol' guy is always trying to keep his head down and blend in to the crowd. He avoids students at all costs, but has a lot to say if he gets cornered. In his time he's seen just about every type of student come and go in his time at the academy and knows all too well what is needed to fail or succeed. Anyone who listens to his story will learn that he flunked out of the Academy in his first year, only to spend the next two trying to get any sort of position here in a desperate attempt to absorb whatever information he could from the school. Wound up in an entry level janitorial position and has been here ever since.
Head of Grounds Keeping
Suzie Quigg
[attr="class","eanpcon"]
A disgustingly cheerful and relaxed woman with the greenest thumb you’ve ever seen. Loves grass types and her flowers, and will chase down anyone and anything that dares threaten her babies or disturb their beauty. She's always watching the students, and has created a list of frequent and potential vandals and a Trevenant she uses to turn nature against them and their antics. Always rewards students who volunteer to help maintain the grounds or chase off any pests with big hugs and baked goods. Though there’s rumors that she sometimes puts a special something in the brownies...
