[@Rune_Alchemist] The thing with the PC was a solution I came up with in order to avoid ethical problems with one of the core aspects of the Pokémon universe. If people around start seeing that as a bad thing, then the player characters WILL be the bad guys, because in any other universe that'd be a bad thing, and I want to avoid that. Grey morality can be fine, buuuut... In this matter the Pokémon Trainers would be obviously in the wrong! XD

I'd like to point out they wouldn't inherently be the bad guys unless they were abusing their pokemon. That's the thing with gray/real world morality. It can be argued as both something that could be good, or wrong. It just depends on which side you sympathized with more. It'd be better to not have any blanket statements saying 'this is absolute' and instead leave it vague, and up to each individuals characters interpretation. 

Obviously, in the pokemon world its something that's been happening for a long time. It's accepted as fact by the [i]people[/i], therefore obviously no one is going to think about it too much so you don't really even have to worry about this a whole lot in the first place except maybe by a handful of people who think otherwise.

But, as you said, if all pokemon fundamentally don't mind being in PC boxes than anyone who thinks that they do are inherently wrong, as it would go against the natural order of this world. Which is silly from a narrative/story standpoint if someone believes that because that just makes them seem like they're evil/contradictory for the sake of evil or contradiction. Which doesn't make for a compelling character or organization.

but eh, enough of that.

Aside from me having a to make a few changes to Claire's personality - and maybe Ralia's (Because as she is, she probably would hate being shoved in a PC box) it doesn't really matter too much.

I'll try to get a post up with Claire soon...dunno what she'd do here. She doesn't like that Jacques is being an 'arrogant sleazeball', and would take him up on the challenge...but route 2, man. She wants to get this journey started xD

I'll try to have a post up soon.
