okay
hear me out
i know this has been tossed around before, but like --
pokemon panfan when?
imagine your character/muse being dropped into an original region, and, they're presented with the decision of three pokeballs, which are actually starters, and have to pick one to start their journey.
would characters/muses have powers? that's a tricky one. i'd say.... no? if only because it takes away from the whole 'pokemon' aspect in my opinion. Like how unfair would it be for your muse/character to be going against another muse/character in a battle, and have to worry about both *the pokemon* and *the trainer* battling their pokemon. but then again, some characters, their whole appeal
is the fact that they have special talents/abilities/magical transformations... so maybe that's something that could always be explored/hashed out?
Idk, this is just something i'd love to see around that's been sitting in my head rent-free, but I don't have the time or the sanity to run something so extensive. Pokemon sites are already a lot, and add that to being a panfandom... you'd need a dedicated moderating team and at least a five-stack staff.
