It wouldn't really mean that the pokemon need to be legendaries exactly, but there'd need to be ways that they became very powerful if they were otherwise normal pokemon. I think it'd take a bit of tweaking to the world that's been established canonically but it could be really fun.

So you mean Mega Evolution... Most Mega Evolved Pokemon can go head to head with legends and it isn't hard to make custom Megas. Just change/add a type and change the special ability.

But yeah, that slice of life thing sounds great to me. It'd be pretty fun, I think, though maybe limit the number of Pokemon we have to around three to start with? Just so we don't go around all being Champion-tier strong trainers. But eh, I'll probably be fine with anything just throwing my two cents in.

I don't think we should limit the number of total Pokemon per se... but limit it to one Mega-evo capable pokemon and maybe two or three other powerful Pokemon, with the rest being more like pets or babies. And we can just scale the Champion up a bit.



As for another Idea... maybe we take turns "Hosting" events. So for one event say Paper host the event while his character leaves town for one reason or another. The next event has my character leave on a mission while the rest have to deal with something else. Another one where some/one of us stay at the city (and host) while a group goes on a mission of their own. In between of these major events we would have slice of life event sections possibly spanning years between Events.
