Terry Crews is the ONLY nickname for Machoke/Machamp.

As for groups, that's ultimately up to you guys. You're free to travel in groups or alone, but RPing is boring when you're the only one.

Also worth noting, due to the lack of gyms, I'll have a different incentive for travel. You guys will have a certain amount of time to travel from point A to point B, and to train and build your team in the process. That will be how it'll work except when the plot attacks. When a new location becomes relevant, I will be posting a description of it as well as any noticable features, wild pokemon, and anything else of note.

Also yeah, there aren't any actual starters on the list because those have been done plenty of times before.
