I also like the Gym leader aspiration and Nuzlocke inspired ones as well as a more structured, chapter like RP as those seem to do fairly well and I like the structure of them.

Almost forgot that I could vote too, lmao

I feel obligated to vote for Option #2. The idea of a chapter'd journey RP would really get things moving in something that could potentially go stale very quickly and time restraints wouldn't be an issue with proper OOC communication, I believe. I'm also not completed opposed to journeying in a fan-made region with even fan-made Pokemon. Just keeps things refreshing, and there are a plethora of amazing "fakemon" that aren't, like, sparkledogs.

Seems like the players as the bad guys and the contest/pokeathlete RPs are pretty well-liked. Hmmm maybe I should start looking into one of these. I've been wanting to GM lately and this would be a good starting point for an idea.

I really love the idea of a twisted journey. One of my favourite fan fictions is "A smell of Petroleum prevails throughout." By Cutlerine, which basically had eldritch abominations chase the protagonist. It also had an interesting readers control the character concept... But mainly it was a dark and twisted version of the Johto story.

But contest stars also sounds interesting, if difficult to pull off

It's interesting to see people's thoughts on this as it's always been something that's crossed my mind in building RP premises (and something I've tried to implement with the Steampunk x Pokemon idea I posted a while back)

I think the most pressing issue that journey RPs seem to have is that they're generally very predictable. To me the OP always feels like "here's the premise, now go!" and you can kinda see where it's all going.

I do quite like options #1 and #6, because I feel like dark RPs are very underdone here on PC.
