So are the pokemon mutated creatures?  Will we be able to partner with them or are they just like any other wild variety?  Will there be pokeballs or some other capture mechanism?

The idea was that mutated Pokemon have replaced the normal mutated creatures. Bloatflies are now Beedril, Rapid dogs are now dog pokemon (With elemental attacks and such, watch out!) Yao Guai are Ursarang, Mirelurks are Crabby/Corphish/Crustle depending on the environment, with kings being their evolved forms. Supermutants and Centuars are replaced by heavily deformed pokemon-human hybrids. Deathclaws are still there, though. Not even crossovers are strong enough to kill them!

There will also be 'pure' or 'normal' pokemon that haven't succumbed to mutation thanks to the fallout, but you'll mostly see the mutated versions. There is no capture mechanism, its all about trust out in the wastes. Mutated pokemon are generally too feral to tame, but you might get lucky with some of the 'pure' Pokemon.

And, before anyone asks; Yes, human/pokemon hybrids will be allowed, but I'm allowing a maximum of 2 (TWO) total, and they will be HEAVILY scrutinized, and will very likely need a lot of discussing and re-balancing with me before I give them the okay. 'Pure' pokemon are rare. Hybrids that didn't come out super-mutants or centaurs are going to be much, much rarer.

And yes, they can be legendary. I'm just going to scrutinize them all the more, though. You're going to have to do some very clever weaving and writing to get one past me.

Also, a question; Would you rather I set this up in DC or Nevada? I don't have the time to set up a whole new region for this, so I'm going to modify the story of either Fallout 3 (and name it Fallout P) or New Vegas (clever rename pending).
