[quote=@Astrali] I'd consider expanding to Johto is that's what people would want! I don't see any reason to do regions beyond that due to lack of Team Rocket presence in then though. [/quote] At the very least it means we wouldn't have a weird lack of dark types if we included Johto (and [i]maybe[/i] some Hoenn if we ever do anything in the Sevii Islands but that's getting ahead of ourselves). That and it would mean we wouldn't have to dance around the issue of babies and evolutions introduced in gen 2 (if I'm picking Zubat as a starter I want it to eventually become a Crobat!). I get why you'd want to limit which Pokemon we can get like this though, there's over a thousand of the damn things by this point and if we included [i]everything[/i] then we'd all just spend forever trying to pick out a roster. XD EDIT: My actual suggestion would be to go with Kanto and Johto at least to begin with (for one thing it would mean that dark isn't the only type that's completely absent that way), plus whatever evolutions were retconned onto Pokemon from those regions in later gens, albeit with the caveat that said evolution has to be actually feasible in Kanto (eg. no strong magnetic fields means no Magnezone). I just think it makes the most sense that way I guess.
