[@Raijinslayer]GM controls the enemies because there is XP and at times items that come from them. The only thing the GM doesn't control is player-player interaction and how you fight. However, I do post the results of each turn when players battle each other or enemies.

This period of the game was for trainer-trainer interaction. I don't expect everyone to acquire 6 Pokemon since this game didn't draw as much attention as I thought it would, so if they want to go to Pewter City, then they should start transitioning there. They must do so together though. Therefore, communicating in the OOC is best.

No one is allowed to get ahead or a leg up on other characters in this story. Not Pokemon-growth wise but journey-wise. Because if one trainer goes ahead to Pewter and 2 trainers are still back in Pallet Town. It makes the game not flow. That's why the hotel is available.
