    Well...they're really vague at the moment, since they don't really work, but oh well.

    The first idea I had was that wizards/trainers had a 'partner' instead of a wand. Like in canon, the Pokemon would choose the user. Wizards (I'll just call them that) would channel their Pokemon's magic. Depending on their partner, there would be subjects they would be better at, though most wizards should still have a broad range of spells they could cast (in other words, it depends on the Pokemon's movepool; being stuck with a Magikarp partner would be...ouch).

    But then I thought about the connection between Voldemort and Harry's wands, and just the complicated wandlore rules in general (ex: a wand could change its allegiance), so I thought, okay, maybe I could keep the wands in but add Pokemon. So then I thought that each wizard could have a guardian spirit or something like that, in the form of a Pokemon, and that their wands' appearances would depend on the spirit. (For example, a wizard with a Charizard for a guardian would have an orange wand, maybe with wings?) And their magic's strength would depend on the user's strength of spirit and the 'synchronization' between the wizard and the guardian.

    And THEN I thought, what if Pokemon were magical creatures? So then a magical person would possess Pokemon traits: essentially, Pokemorphs/Gijinkas/however you want to call it. This idea isn't really creative and doesn't appeal to me that much.

    So...any ideas?

    Hmmmm....I guess the second ideas good. :) I guess you can tie it in with a spell like a Patronus? Maybe you can channel the spirit through or something?

    And Gijinkas....I'm not sure :/ We tried that already like twice int eh past 2 months or so.

    Hmm...so maybe the corporeal Patronus could be the only way a wizard could see his guardian's true form (since it would be a spirit the rest of the time?)...

    This sounds a little like the golden compass (the whole guardian thing).

    Well guys, I've started working on my TWEWY/Pokemon crossover. Set in Unova this time!

    Yup lol. That was something like what I was referring to the time I was thinking about a Golden Compass and Harry Potter mash-up RP.

    Yay for Unova! I am still liking the new Pokemon..even though they're gettin' old. xD;;

    I've never played TWEWY, though I always wanted to (still do). So I guess I'll be looking forward to this! : )

    • Question: Is there a list of all completed RPs? :I War Between PKM & Humans is about to end and I'm just wondering if there is a list. XD I'd be really interested to see which other ones have made it.
    I've only been on PC long enough to see the ending of Odyssey :/

    Every RP I've joined has died very young. :C

    Making my SU for Hydroxylapatite (I love that name <3) right now. Crap, I think I'm running out of character archetypes.
