If anyone else is I'd be interested in setting up a Pokemon journey RP. This would be linear (not open world) with a generally light tone befitting the series with realism when necessary and while being set in an alternative universe outside of canon. Pokemon would be "sentient" in the way you might personify your pet, and what settles for a "Pokemon" can vary between a fire-breathing puppy and the accumulation of hundreds of vengeful souls. The emissaries between these creatures and humans are Pokemon Trainers, though in the modern day, some prefer to work an ordinary job instead. Talk about boring! Our characters are the exceptions, people of varying ages and backgrounds who want to bond with Pokemon and travel the region while doing so. Your character can have a goal outside of beating the gym challenge
Option A: Our characters would be one party traveling together through cities and routes. They could be a ramshackle bunch, but they would know one another, and they would share a common goal: to beat the gym challenge and maybe even work towards becoming Champion! Still, maybe there's more to this human-Pokemon bond than encouraging Pokemon to to fight each other...
Option B: Our characters would start at different points of the region, going on separate journies with inidivual goals. What connects them is one Pokedex Project started by an anonymous so-called "Pokemon Professor." The Pokedex Project is a wiki open to the general Training public intended to "democratize" the Pokedex; Trainers can update their own observations on the Pokemon they catch as well as communicate with each other, giving advice and swapping battle strategies. Still there are some that think the Pokedex is a closed project for a reason and there may be forces looking to interrupt our characters' travels as a consequence.
For region, I'm more attracted to a canon one with new Gym Leaders and other supporting NPCs. I could put together an original region though if there's interest in that instead.
If you're interested, which option would you prefer, A or B? And if you have a preference for which region to set it in, or any other questions, let me know below!
