[@Xan the G] A random event is as presented: it can be anything and everything. I have multiple random events planned for the Huji region, with some being route-specific. They can be incredibly beneficial or detrimental for many reasons. There are instances of battling trainers and catching Pokémon, but random events are definitely not limited to this, and should not be used as reliable means for catching or training. 

[@Delta44] Beautiful and descriptive character. I love the backstory that you’ve included, and how it fuels her motive to become a Pokémon master. I would ask to limit your knowledge of Giratina as much as possible, as these Pokémon are legendary for a reason. Few people know anything about legendary Pokémon. Even less might attempt to study them seriously. They’re mythical, written like the Loch ness monster in our world. You’re essentially hunting a unicorn. That’s not to say that unicorn isn’t out there…

It’s fine that your favored type is Dragon, but unfortunately Gible is on the rare list, and I am not allowing rare starters. They must be earned. And further bad news, all dragon starter candidates are considered rare, as I believe Dragon to be a very if not the most powerful type in battle. This is not only for balancing, but for the fact that I have always considered dragon types and their trainers to be epic in proportion. One doesn’t start their journey with a dragon. After going through my list, I am willing to make one exception, but they don’t start out as a Dragon. Skrelp is Poison/Water, but will become Dragon/Poison (Dragalge) eventually. I’m not sure how important it is for you to have a Dragon as your first Pokémon, but that option is there.

Your responses to the questions are further insight into the wonderful character you’ve developed here. As long as you choose a non-rare starter, I’m willing to give this one an approval. You’ll start off in Argentglade as soon as you choose a new starter. Feel free to ask me any questions before then. I'm allowing for all new trainers to PM me a wish list they might have of Pokémon they wish to see on their journey. It's no guarantee, but it may come into play for future encounters.

Everyone else, I’m working on your posts currently. I’ll unfortunately have to take over for Zardoric in the meantime, but we’ll get things moving for Redorchard.
