Helpful Links, Player Handbook and Pokemon Guide

Also it is my intention to give you your starting Pokemon in the game.

Do we still get to choose our starter Pokemon? Or will it be from a list?

my plan was to limit it to the 3 Kanto Starters (Bulbasuar, Squirtle, Charmander) and add Eevee and Pikachu. Theres already one person who is leaning towards going a different route so if you'd wish to not go that route please tell me and I may adjust the story some.

Personally I would like to choose a non standard starter, but I'm ok with the choices above. If we get non standard, is it limited to Kanto region?

not necessarily just if you look in the Pokemon manual their SR has to be 1/2 or less.

I admit past gen II im a little less knowledgeable.

Alright, backstory is done and written in the notes section.

Ok. One last question. Is variant human allowed?

I suppose? It would depend on the feat.

Probably something from the Pokemon handbook

within reason, I wasn't expecting any psychics or anything.

Money : 8x100 = 800

Character Submitted, just need to make my starter

I'm okay with stock Kanto starter in my mind though my Chamander is black though or wears a vest...

Looking at the handbook there's more to it then picking a background and filling the state block so I'll work on that today

Aren't you able to choose your starting pokemon's nature?

Maybe but I prefer random gen stuff so... Fickle pokemon make sense to me.

Ah ok, just checking because I would have redo my Pokemon nature otherwise
