I'd be quite interested to know what kind of characters you are expecting and what kind of Pokemon systems you'll be using. This might be stuff you want to save for the OoC, but, hey, might as well ask anyway. :3

Well I expect everyone to be of rather high skill, but they each would have their own trades. One might be a military officer asked to act as a guard, another might be a scientist from the university. Spoilers on my character I'm using an inventor/engineer from the university. Don't think that means we can't have another in the same trade just stick to a different part of it. Jasper, the character I have prepared, is a specialist in small devices (pretty much pokeballs, guns, all those smaller more clockwork based machines, but also has a couple larger things, but no massive boilers or engines or any of that.) another person could know all about the ships and even the automobiles which are starting to show up.

As for pokemon I'm following all of the standard sorts of rules I'd say. type weaknesses are the same, pokemon are trained for sport as well as for work (and the sport is fully accepted as safe as pokemon don't kill each other their just tire themselves out as I mentioned before.) Could you specify the question a bit more? Since there are differences like we can fight pokemon ourselves with fisticuffs or a weapon if we carry one, but thats done to protect us or our pokemon from wild pokemon.

One thing about food, wild pokemon are feral monsters, when they begin to be trained they're mental capabilities improve and they go off their reason rather than their instinct. some pokemon already go off reason, but others are just animals.

How accessible are weapons in general going to be in this setting? Are we in danger of having our pokemon be gunned down in a drive by?

Weapons aren't too impossible to get if you know the right people. We for example are being sent into unexplored wild territory we all have been provided with at least one weapon unless character backstory makes it reasonable for more. Ex. a soldier who is positioned as a guard for the group. normal people might have knives or revolvers etc. simple weapons. crime exists of course, but even then pokemon can take bullets like a steel attack, it will just lower their HP, but not injure them really. if a pokemon is out of HP and takes a bullet then they are wounded. Labs, apothicaries, and other utilities will be around to tend to injured pokemon.


Anything I missed?
