So, I'm taking this all into consideration, and I think what I'm going to do is that starter pokemon can be any pokemon with there evolutions, or any starter. I'll make up a quick character sheet so I can start getting player numbers in my head and a quick heads up on starters so I can check them and make sure they don't pick something that would destroy the game at the start. Not even going to be subtle about this, I'm looking directly at TBF due to previous behavior of his.

I would be in for it.

Reading from what you said about freeform, did you read the Pokemon Adventures/Special manga ?

I have not, though from my admittedly limited knowledge it seems like that may be a bit darker than what I intend?

Do Megas count as a third evolution?

Another question: Are there Pokémon from regions beyond Generation 3? If yes, can characters be from those regions?

Mmh, not so "dark" to me, more like realistic (and a little bit more "mature" than the anime). The manga universe isn't a crapsack world at all, and deals with many interesting concepts.

The main part that may appears dark to some would come from the first "season", the one that dealt with Red/Blue/Yellow, as some Pokémon died on screen (they were portrayed as mindless mooks though). One Arbok got cleaved horizontally, and a duo of Magmar got frozen and shattered.

But in following seasons, the series took a less "dark" tone, yet still keeping the realistic feel. Well, to me at least.

You should give it a try, it's a really interesting read !

edit: So no, it's not dark at all. It's great. No crapsack dark edgy world.

Maybe I will.

Also, in unrelated news, I made an initial character sheet. You may not the absence of a certain infamous question. That's so you can portray your character as any gender you want and surprise everyone when it's not that.

Character sheet, I choose thee.

Spoiler: Nakalys (click to show/hide)

Name: Nakalys
Age: 17
Description:
A young woman with typical green hair tied in a long braid. Her hairs are clear green. She is rather tall.

She typically wears sport clothes, as they are easier to move around in. Occasionally she will wear a tunic with a short.
She has a light jacket tied around her hips when she is not wearing a tunic.

A dynamic and caring person.

Backstory:
A young woman filled with hopes and dreams. She left her hometown and arrived recently in Hoenn, leaving her little brother behind.

She is only starting her trainer initiation trip now because she decided to study first before completing her initiation trip.

The siblings are orphans, their parents having died in an accident when she was 8. They were taken in by close friends of their parents, and lived a happy life thereafter despite the tragic accident.

She has known Sleafy, her Treecko, since childhood. She basically sees him as her second little brother.

Preferred type: Grass
Starter: Treecko

Spoiler: Sleafy, the Treecko (click to show/hide)

Name: Sleafy
Description:
Apart from the fact that he has a bracelet made of woven palm leaves from Nakalys island, there is nothing particularly outstanding about Sleafy compared to other Treecko.

Backstory:
Sleafy was one of those Pokémon who were always curious about the human world, despite living in nature.

Very early he decided to go on a journey to meet humans. He didn't leave alone, going with his best friend, Gobou the Mudkip.
Together they crossed the jungle separating them from human lands, until they reached the surroundings of a human city. As he was watching from a tree the buildings erected by humans, he heard some noise.

There were two children playing, a girl and a very young boy. Curious, he told Gobou, and the two of them approached the children, watching hidden.

The two children were role-playing as Trainers, battling with imaginary Pokémon.

Sleafy was immediately smitten by the energy of the young girl.
Gobou felt a feeling of kinship with the calmer boy.

And on a sudden whim, they bursted out of the grass and appeared in front of the two surprised children. They posed as their Pokémon.

There was only a second of surprise, for the two children immediately followed the flow, playing with the two Pokémon.

It was only the beginning of a lifelong friendship between the four individuals. Afterward, the two Pokémon were accepted in the family. They stayed together with Nakalys and her brother even after the siblings parents accident.
