This RP takes place in an alternate history, in an alternate universe.
In this universe, pokemon are found all around the world, but the vast majority of them can be found on the pacific islands, particularly near Asia. Normal animals co-exist with pokemon, but usually not in the same ecosystems. This is because it's very hard for a snake to eat an electrified mouse.
This RP will mostly take place in Kanto and in Johto, both are US territories.
Recently, a group of criminals has appeared, known as Team Rocket. They're a rather large gang that's causing all sorts of trouble. Nobody's entirely sure what their motivations are, just yet. They seem to operate for money.
They're an extremely bold crime syndicate, and are audacious enough to break into houses and attack police in broad daylight.
There are 3 factions:
1. Team Rocket (and its subfactions, like Team Magma): Try to spread lawlessness throughout the region. Possibly take over the world.
2. Police: Try to maintain government control. Possibly disband Team Rocket.
3. Independent: Compete in the Pokemon league. Possibly become the Pokemon master.
There are 3 types of combat in this RP, and they are:
1. Pokemon: Thanks to the invention of the pokeball, it is possible to capture pokemon and use them for battle.
2. Weapons: Pokemon have not rendered tools like the firearm or melee weapons obselete. To compare, pokemon are about this powerful compared to guns:
-Rattata=Air Gun
-Bulbasaur=Handgun
-Ivysaur=SMG
-Venasuar=Assualt Rifle
-Venasuar MEGA EVOLUTION=Light Machine guns
-Weaker legendary pokemon (Mezpirit, Moltres)=Heavy Military weapons (miniguns, rocekt launchers, ect)
-Stronger Legendaries (Mewtwo, Regigas, Arceus)=Weapons of Mass Destruction
3. Biotics: Thanks to genetic engineering, it is possible to merge with pokemon DNA. It's harmless and completely undo-able. This is made possible using Poke-bands. They're bracelets you wear on your arms. Wearing one gives you 2 attacks. Wearing 2 gives you four. Using these may also change your appearence, but doesn't have to. All moves need to be from the same pokemon's movepool, by the way.
Just so you know, if you have a weapon or poke-band, you can only carry 3 pokemon. If you're carrying 2 weapons or pokebands, or carrying a weapon and a pokeband, you cannot carry any pokemon at all.
