Jesus monkey christ. Im gone for 2 hours and this thread grew 10 pages. Bolded is my reaction to your sig btw But yeah, this league/writing series/game is a pretty legit idea. I'm waiting for an official decree before I start writing stories, but the ideas are written down. It should be pretty cool. If not....... intense. I know, isnt lugia great?!

Here's how it's going down. For the sake of nostalgia, we're all going to be starting out in the Kanto region, which means we'll all start out our journey from Pallet town. You will start out by picking your starter Pokémon. It does NOT have to be one of Kanto's starters, nor does it even have to be a starter at all. It just has to be a basic form, so you can pick Meowth, but not Persian. You can pick Tyrogue, but not Hitmonchan, Hitmonlee or Hitmontop.
Once you start out on your journey, you will have a rival of your own creation. How you introduce them, and what they are is up to you. If you want them to be a friend who challenges you now and then, that's fine. If you want them to be the master thief like a couple of them, you can. It's whatever you want. The only catch is, you must have their first Pokémon be the direct opposite to yours. If you pick a water, they much have a grass or electric. If you pick a bug, they must be fire or flying (I think you guys get the idea.)
How you progress from there is entirely your call. You must follow the general guideline of Kanto, so you can't go challenge the 5th gym leader first or anything...but everything else is up to you. Try to keep it semi-realistic when you're writing your battles and post battles. Don't have your Charmander evolve into Charmeleon after its first battle, against a Caterpie. Progress naturally, you know?
As for your story/sub-plots, that's all up to you. If you want to write a story where you're directly involved in foiling Team Rocket, Magma, Aqua...any of them...or even you own custom creation, that's fine. If you don't that's fine too. Use full advantage of Officer Jenny, Nurse Joy, Bill and any other characters that have appeared and custom created ones also.
If you want companions to come with you, go for it. If you want to take one of the gym leaders with you as is the case with Lucian, Brock and Misty in previous series, go for it. It's your story...do it as you see fit. If you want to do Poké challenges, like the competitions they threw into the games and series, go for it.
Gym Leaders. Throughout the writings, you'll have to fight a total of eight gym leaders. Seven of your fellow WF mates and one person of your own creation. It was pretty much agreed upon that I'd throw the names in the randomizer and however they came out would be the list of what numbered leader everyone is to keep SOME consistancy within everyones stories. The gyms will be as noted, as this is how they came out of the randomizer:
1. Angus, You'll be burned alive, 2 pokemon 2. Ben, He will shock you, 3 pokemon 3. Diego, He'll deliver unto you some psychic fury, 3 pokemon 4. Silva, These plants are sharper than they appear, 3 pokemon 5. James, Feel the wrath of his normalcy, 4 pokemon 6. LLLBD, He's buggin' out for a reason, 4 pokemon 7. Honkey, He'll leave you scared to your core, 5 pokemon 8. Jack, He'll drown you with his skill, 6 pokemon
Obviously since you'll be writing a diary as yourself, you won't be a gym leader in your story. So, wherever your name appears...that's where the custom leader must appear. They can be any type you want them to be. If you're a late joiner, then you just use the eight listed. Another thing, you choose what Pokemon each person has. You just have to keep to the type. Like Silva, he's grass. You can have him have a Syther in your story, but in mine, I can have him have a Roserade. It's all up to you.
After that, it's all up to you. How you progress, who you beat, how many times you lose, what Pokemon you catch, use etcetera.
How do those rules look guys?

And I figure, if this is a success, we could then later move onto the other regions with different people as leaders with different types and everything, ya know?
Just hoping this works out, is all, as this is a great idea.

IDK about having to start in Pallet. I think it would be more interesting if we could start in other locations. Also, do the gyms HAVE to be in the same order? Like Angus' gym is in Pewter city, so that we are all on the same path? That seems like it would be a little too boring; I want to bend the general guideline of Kanto. But if we NEED to start in Pallet, could we just, say, make up reasons why we need to go through the Diglett Cave and end up in the middle of Kanto? Basicly I want to start in the middle of Kanto for a creative, fresh perspective. I think it will be more creative and less "cookie cutter" than everyone else's- there still will be plenty of protocol that make our stories similar, and there will still be the nostalgia of gen 1 and the locations.

Basicly I want to start in the middle of Kanto for a creative, fresh perspective. And make up reasons why other places are blocked. Even though we are going on the same path, alot will still be unique for each player. Since we have access to every single pokemon in existance, our stories will be much different on how we find our team members and even their personalitys. Plus some of us might travel slower and try to see everything while others might try to go as quick as possible and make mistakes along the way. It will also be interesting seeing how each player handles each gym leader, can they beat them on the first try? Or will they make a mistake and learn from it.

I was more or less just writing up everything I had read and putting it together...

Okay, I see what you're saying. I was just wondering if that would be okay... I'm flexible and didn't write anything down yet. If everyone else is going to start at Pallet town, I'm fine with that. I don't want to be THAT guy that starts out different. I'll do Pallet if eveyone else does, but I think it will be more interesting if we have different starting places/roadblocks.

Damn I was expecting to come back to 55+ pages and it is only 44! Less to read I suppose. But this sounds kinda cool. My main confusion is since I am the grass type master do I have to use ONLY grass types? Because I wouldn't really want to if I had to face all the gyms. For my gym because I can only choose 3 pokemon for everyone to face I would make the three these three: Leafeon [my strongest pokemon] Ludicolo [second strongest and helps with pesky fires..] Roselia [Roserade would be my choice but since I'm the 4th gym leader I will have one 2nd stage pokemon on my team of 3.] So yeah I already know that my starter pokemon is going to be an Eevee!

I think tonight I'll play a quick bit of FireRed to reintroduce Kanto to myself. I was thinking about starting my story in Vermillion, honestly, with it being a very nautical-sailing-boat obsessed town... it can be the strongest gym. Because Jack is so strong and never around because he's doing boat stuff, my character was always discouraged from being a Pokemon trainer. Not to mention everyone told me to do boat stuff. I just wanted to be a normal kid (C WUT I DID THAR). Eventually I found me a Meowth on some route. Then go to Saffron or something. Basicly just doing something more similar to GSC's Kanto in the respect of where I start and go. Oh crap look I sorta started my story.
Is everyone okay with this sort of remix of Kanto, or do y'all wanna just do the Pallet Town, first gym in Pewter sort of sequence?

You can use any types on your journey. And if we get to pick what people face in our gyms I would like Charmeleon and Combusken I guess since im the Jobber gym leader I wouldnt want to have full evolutions.

First Gym Leader- Angus - Volcano BadgeCharmeleon and Combusken Not bad. If we actually pick our gym teams(which I think would be cool) Should we give them movesets too?

I will use a custom team then. But if everyone starts out in different cities won't they face the gym leaders in a different order meaning the gyms team should be stronger or weaker depending on their order that they are challenged? So I'll be posting my team of pokemon ranging from 2 who are weak for the first 2 gyms, 3 that are getting stronger for 3-4, 4 pokemon when I am the 5-6th gym leader, 5 when I am the 7th gym leader and if I am someone's final gym leader they will face my full team of 6 [although as a gym leader I won't have my legendaries so NO Virizion/Skymin] they will be added if I am ever in the Elite 4/Champ.
