yeh ok, I was just hinking we dont want them to start with anything too common or too rare. What pokemon you going to start with and I'll get started. I think I'll go for either Onix (big school tough guy), Aron (normal guy), Houndour (goth guy)
Now, what shall we call the school, the place the school is and what the school does.
I was thinking it should be an archipelago of tiny islands, many with large cliffs on their coasts. They are joined by several large archaic bridges. Those are the inner isles. The outer isles are joined by ferries. The school could be on on one of the inner islands, next to the capital island of the region. Some of the outer islands have very different weather conditions, one simply a mountain rising from the sea, another a swamp almost retaken by the ocean. We could take trips to different ones of these, to catch different pokemon, as well as going around the inner ones, and some battles at school. Around the school are common pokemon. I think everyone should have a max of.... 3/4 pokemon?
