Here goes:
So basically my idea is a sort of role-playing deal, but more interactive between the members. The premise is we are a bunch of weak, unevolved pokemon (ex: mareep, axew) who fell into a valley and can't get out. So, we train together and work together to become stronger and fully evolved (ex: Ampharos, Haxorus). We finally get out of the valley and set out on a journey to find our parents.
To level up, we fight each other on pokemon showdown and each win equals one level. When we level up to the evolution level, we have the choice to evolve or not. We add and delete moves based on the current 6th gen level up system. We win egg or TM moves based on the number of posts in the thread. People can come together to make clans within the valley, where each player can add more pokes and train with their clan. By the end when we escape the valley, we can see which clan is the strongest and maybe there can be some sort of final tournament. From there, it is strictly role play.
The issue is, i have never role played or ran a role play thing like this. Is this a good idea? This is just the basic rundown of the whole thing-we can add details later.
Would this work? If not, tell me. I would like to know. :)
