Prologue
Ominously orbiting the innermost planet of the Kanto system, the Death Pokestar makes its way to the center of the galaxy where it waits for the devious Emperor Darth Psydius to arrive and execute an order of destruction.
Meanwhile the Rebel Alliance and its skilled armada of pilots hide on the prosperous city-planet, Celadon which sits near the edge of the system. An ambush will take place once the Rebel Alliance confirms that Darth Psydius is at the outer ring of the star system.
There in space the Emperor will be defeated and peace will bring an end to his oppressive rule over the galaxy. However one enemy is unaccounted for, the tyrant's prodigy Darth Lucar who is know for his cunning tactics and merciless use of The Aura.
Few hours remain until the ambush takes place. The Rebel Alliance bides its time until then, going over every contingency of its leader's plan.
Princess Ledia motivates the armada with the words of a courageous and passionate ruler who will one day maintain peace in the galaxy. People of the galaxy look at her with hope in their eyes and to see the spark of rebelling flame igniting a new era.
Fledgling users of The Aura are the only offense against the Emperor. May the Aura empower them and guide them in the battle to come.
About The Galaxy
The Republic.
Long ago the Galaxy was resting in an era of prosperity, only threatened by the ambitious Federation. It united plants across the galaxy for thousands of years; however, when the Master of The Dark Aura guided the Federation against the Republic not even the Medi Council could foresee the turn of events that lead to the fall of the Republic and rise of the Empire.
The Empire.
For a couple decades Darth Psydious has spread his tyranny across the galaxy, enslaving hundred of worlds to crush the former republic and take control. At the side of the Emperor, Darth Lucar leads the front of war and seeks out users of the Aura. Together they utilize the Death Pokestar to destroy entire worlds if they don't surrender to the might of the Empire.
The Rebel Alliance.
What was left of the Republic accumulates in the shadows of the Empire where they cannot see the growing force of the Aura pushing back against them. Its leader Princess Ledia is its leader, her home world long gone because of the Empire's destructive weapon. To reverse the wave of destruction, Princess Ledia seeks out users of The Aura, hidden in unknown places or newly born before they are capture by Darth Lucar.

About this RP
It's rated T for
I'm going to push the story forward linearly. Where other RPs are Sandboxes, this one has a clear plot and story that doesn't have a lot of room for variation. What you do will matter because there are great forces at work who need your help to ensure their mission is completed.
If your character is unable to fit into the story then I'll have to deny it. Please invest yourself, don't just sit around to make posts.
Some Additional Background
The Seven Systems.
Kanto, Jhoto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, Kalos, and Alola are star important systems of this RP that have the greatest populations and biggest influence on the galaxy. Within them are worlds that resemble the locations of those regions. As you might have caught on, Celadon is a City in Kanto and made parallel to the Star Wars location of Coruscant.
Consider each town and city to have its own planet within its star system. Moons or nearby objects reflect what's in the games such as an asteroid belt named after Diglett Cave.
Between star systems there will be interesting astronomical structures that aren't in the pokemon games but exist out of imagination.
Evolution.
It is not a common event for pokemon, as most remain at the first stage of their species line. When Evolution does happen its because of story importance rather than battle experience or age.
Darth Psydious for example is quite old and is a Golduck. His evolution occurred long ago when he ended the life of his Master.
Darth Lucar is a Lucario who started as a Pod-Racing Riolu but evolved when he joined Dark Psydious in using The Dark Aura.
Princess Ledia evolved from Ledyba when she decided to lead the Rebel Alliance.
Wild Pokemon.
Some Species of Pokemon will be treated as wild animals. Such examples may include Space Monsters that only remotely resemble a pokemon. There will be an attempt not to have a sentient species of Pokemon also have a wild animal counterpart.
Species Variation.
Consider that every plant has just a small handful of pokemon species on them but with many ethnic varaitions between them. Also consider them to be related to their Star system such as Gen 1 Pokemon in the Kanto System but not many in the Unova System.
When you pick a species of pokemon you can change it up quite a bit and adapt it to the story so that you have yourself something different than a simple pokemon.
The Aura
The Force renamed to fit a pokemon theme is what holds the universe together. Any pokemon can access The Aura as it's not specific to any pokemon type. Rather it's an accumulation of the unnatural: Psychic, Dark, Ghost, Fairy, Dragon, etc.
Pokemon that are one of those types have a natural connection to The Aura but often find technology serves as a more useful tool in daily life.
When the Republic was still together the Medi Order was made of pokemon who could use The Aura. There were strict rules on remaining on only using The Bright Aura and to stay away from The Dark Aura. However this cause The Aura to become unbalanced throughout the galaxy. The Sith were more powerful because The Dark Aura was exclusively used by them. They used this to their advantage and clouded the eyes of the Medi Council and concealed themselves in a veil of mystery.
Ultimately it was the lack of balance that brought down the Medi Order. But a few masters may hide throughout the galaxy still, balancing their own life with darkness and light to ensure neither side becomes too powerful for the galaxy.
Technology
For the most part, space ships are among the most advanced forms of technology in the galaxy. Droids are useful but in the end it's all about who can zoom through the stars with the biggest guns. The Death Pokestar is the biggest of these ships with a large canon that can obliterate entire planets.
Fledgling users of the Aura may feel inclined to use a weapon called a Lightsaber. They are able to cut almost any materiel, deflect plasma from guns, and also make a swoosh sound in the air. They're not for everyone as they need a great deal of training to use. Old Medi masters still have them and a few people in the galaxy know how to make them.
Cybernetic Enhancement is not uncommon, especially as replacements to hands and legs that might be nipped off in battle. They're not flesh and bone but they are pretty useful for hiding gadgets and gizmos. Darth Lucar himself depends on this type of technology for his own survival as he was once burnt to a crisp on a volcanic moon a long time ago.
Types and Moves
In this universe pokemon using moves is restricted heavily. If one can use The Aura then it's possible to use pokemon moves however rarely even if they wouldn't normally have the move in a pokemon game. Darth Psydious for example can use Thunderbolt by channeling The Dark Aura.
Types play a lesser role here. Water types obviously have affinity for environments with water while flying types have an affinity for the sky. Only when it comes down to weapons designed to affect certain physiological structures (a raygun that shoots electric type plasma for example) will type really come into play for everyone.
Misc.
As we continue the story there will be other parallels between Star Wars and Pokemon. For the most part the story will be based on the original trilogy of Star Wars but with original ideas to spice things up.
So don't plan on Empire vs Rebel Alliance to be the only conflict.
