I just want to make sure it's understood that the GLs from the game/anime, even in different regions, won't be in this RP due to the advanced timeline and that it's largely an alternate universe than the games/anime/manga.

This goes for everyone:
Wherever you start/travel/end up, flesh it out. Give it a Gym Leader, or don't. Give it a landmark/something special that makes it stand out. Make it your own and make it have some kind of impact (however small) upon your character. This world is for everyone to create. Flesh out as much as you want about he region in which you being or to which you travel.
