The idea is basically humans or humanoids with Pokémon powers. Our characters enter the Battlemage League and collect badges from Battle Gyms scattered across different regions identical to the ones in Pokémon games. Once we have all the badges from a region, we can sign up for that region's annual tournament. As for Pokémon types, in this reality they will be referred to as Auras, and Battlemages switch which Aura they have active to call upon powers from that Aura. Strengths and weaknesses between the different types will be the same as the games. So, if you currently have your Water Aura active and your opponent has an Electric Aura up, their attacks will be super effective against you. And with experience, Battlemages can eventually learn to activate two or even three Auras at once. Below is an image showing all the types.
Each year in late Spring, the League Season opens and lasts for about three months. During that time, there are a variety of Challenges, Trainers/Mentors, and Boss Monsters scattered about within a semi-controlled environment. These help Contestants hone their powers on the journey between Gyms, and they each have an interactive Region Map within the League App on their smartphones that allows them to track the locations of these events.
As for the story, I'm thinking our characters start off as students of Uva Academy in the Paldea region, and our Summer vacation starts early so we can compete in the League Season. And once we complete the annual tournament, we could become foreign exchange students for one year at Blueberry Academy in the Unova region, and then we enroll in that League Season next. Then we can travel to other regions in the future. Feel free to ask any questions XD.
