I'm considering a soft reboot of a Pokemon RP that I used to run. I've had some recent ideas that I think would make it run smoother. Here's the pitch:
The story takes place here on Earth, in an alternate reality where the Pokemon world and our world are one and the same. I've already mapped out (in a private document) where all Pokemon from Gen 1 to Gen 7 are located, and I can add Gen 8 Pokemon along the way.
The technological landscape would be about what we could hope for out of an Earth 2100 landscape combined with all the questionable technology of the Pokemon world. So flying cars and cities floating on water will be a thing, Pokemon PCs are of course a thing, and healthcare is surprisingly efficient/free. On the other hand, we're still partially relying on non-renewable energy sources, and space travel isn't really practical yet (at least without the magical assistance of certain Pokémon).
Players could control up to two characters: a newbie trainer and/or an expert trainer. This would depend on your preference.
As newbies, you'll be focused on the slow grind of building your first Pokemon team and traveling around the world for the first time. You'll be able to take on low level missions or just free roam and see what kind of trouble you can get into.
As experts, you can skip to having a decent collection of Pokemon (about 50 or so). You'll have to spend a while building your character sheet with me, but when you're done, you can go on basically any adventure imaginable.
Activities in this RP would include but not limited to: Gym Battles, Tournament Battles, Pokemon Contests, Marathons, Breeding Pokemon, Photographing Pokemon, Investigating Corrupt Organizations, and taking on Various Missions of all kinds.
I suggest starting with a Newbie Trainer, so we can get started sooner. You can create an Expert Trainer, while your playing as your Newbie Trainer.
So, do I have any takers?
