I'd be interested, as I have a similar feeling about Pokemon RP's. The journey and development through failure and success is the fun part (though I think that's honestly any RP to an extent) and trying to rush to a certain point for characters isn't as enjoyable.

I have an old character in mind that'd be great; I haven't had the chance to develop him much as I dropped out of roleplaying for awhile. I don't know how familiar you are with the Orre games (Pokemon Colosseum/XD: Gale of Darkness) but he's a young man from that region studying Pokemon, specifically their emotions and relationship with people. His starter is flexible, though if nobody else wanted it I'd be taking Mareep.
