[@Balthazar007] Hi! It looks like you're roleplaying by yourself, and that's kinda sad. I think I'll try to join. I have a few questions.

1. What Pokemon are around Baltimore, Maryland, United States?
2. What is a reasonable chronological age for someone to go to college in this world, and what age would they look like? 
3. You originally said we could have trainers of any level. Could my trainer start with two Pokemon, both around level 10? It would show that she's had Pokemon for a little longer than Reno, but it wouldn't take long to catch up.

I plan to have a character originally from Baltimore but starting college in TN, so she will have a reason to run into Reno. She will be just starting to give up on her "childish dream" of becoming a Pokemon Trainer and aiming for a "real career," unless chance encounters lead otherwise.

Edit: Oooh, idea. Would it be okay for my character to have "lost her trainer status" due to not completing requests? But she ignored multiple requests because they seemed kind of fishy? Some kind of vague villainous thing going on under the Pokemon League's nose, and nobody believed the newbie trainer. So she owns Pokemon but would have trouble doing trainer things without the League's support, thus going to college for a "real career."

Edit again: Oof, December 29 happens to be bad timing for the college idea, haha. Uhhh I'll figure something out.

Haha! Yeah, I'd love the company. First... your three original questions.

[b]Answer 1:[/b] Pokemon in and around the greater Baltimore area: [b][color=fdc68a]Pidgey, Psyduck, Gastly, Snubbull, Gulpin, Lunatone, Shuppet, Drilbur, Yamask, Litwick, Clauncher, Klefki, Pumpkaboo, Togedemaru[/color][/b]. As long as you're in the north east, these Pokemon will be generally the same. Also, the more experienced a trainer your playing as, the more Pokemon will show up in your search. 

[b]Answer 2:[/b] I would say that going to college and becoming a trainer would happen around the same age. Becoming a trainer is basically an alternative route to going to college. Therefore, the average age for college would also be 30 ([i]yet still looking around 10[/i]). If you don't like the idea of being a younger looking character, I don't see why they wouldn't have optional growth pills that temporarily help people age faster. These would be available, after you are at least 20 years old ([i]and looking about 7 years old[/i]). 

[b]Answer 3:[/b] Yes, she can have level 10 Pokemon, just as you were thinking. 

I like the college idea for your character. And yes, this time of year there would be no school, but maybe she is starting in the spring semester?
