Pokemon is pretty awesome. I think very few people can disagree with this, no matter their age. The thing is... I don't like trainers. I like when the pokemon are free to do as they please without some powerless dude who just happened to fling a ball at you screaming at them to attack their fellows.
Pokemon can attack their fellows on their own just fine, thank-you-very-much.
So! I was thinking of severely twisting the dynamic of the Pokemon games.
I'm thinking of a group of adventurers - several heroes delving into various dungeons to do tasks. Helping the townsfolk and training themselves to take on the "Gym Leaders" and "Legendaries" in a very different world than what you might be used to.
The major twist? Your characters are all human versions of your favorite Pokemon (not anthropomorphic characters, though a few traits might bleed through). You are a human with a personality, appearance, and powers similiar to a Pokemon, though you're free to expand on the personality and abilities of their particular character, the based Pokemon is used mostly as a guideline.
I'm really wondering if anyone would be interested in playing a game in such a world... and if so, where should it be? A jump-in game with everyone coming and going as they please? A full-on 'Fantasy' game with character sheets? A weekly RPbox game? A dungeon-spanning D&D game?
If we're going somewhere with this: where will I be taking you?
