[Game Idea] Pokemon Umbrella Academy

    I'm making an Umbrella Academy Pokemon game. You come from the world in the Netflix show, and have just travelled with Five to the Pokemon dimension to stop an apocalypse that is going to happen there in the Akardme region. The Temps Commission, committed to preserving the timeline, will try to stop you in any way possible. Five goes back to your home dimension with the help of the legendary Pokemon Solgaleo, as human powers don't exist in the Pokemon world, so if they try to enter, they will transform into Pokemon. This is the same with the Commission's weapons that they try to bring into the dimension. You then decide to get your first Pokemon, and gain the trust of the Umbrella Academy members from this dimension by beating their gyms, and here your journey begins.

    Protagonist
    ================
    You play as one of eight teenage characters from Earth-674, the dimension The Umbrella Academy Netflix show is set in. Five has recruited you to stop the apocalypse in the Akardme region, and you journey out to do so.




    Gym Leaders
    ================
    Pogo:
    Pogo is either a grass, water, or fire type specialist depending on your starter, and the first gym leader you face. He used to be an Oranguru (or Mankey, haven't decided which monkey Pokemon) owned by the champion Reginald. Then in a terrible accident Reginald injected him with a serum to save his life by making him more humanoid and able to talk. He runs the trainer school, and is also the professor of the region. He studies Pokemon types, hence being interested in the synergy between grass, fire, and water. After getting your starter and finishing the trainer school, his gym is the last thing you must overcome before starting on your Pokemon League journey. He does not have a legendary Pokemon.
    Luther:
    Luther is a rock type specialist, and the 2nd gym leader. His gym is based on a space station/moon as he lived on the moon for some time. He is eager to help with stopping the apocalypse. His legendary Pokemon is Regirock as it symbolises his super strength and durability. Could also be Terrakion.
    Diego:
    Diego is a fighting type specialist, and the 3rd gym leader you fight. I'm not sure of his gym design yet. He is quite cocky and sure of himself. His legendary Pokemon is Keldeo as it is part water type (tying to his book power) and the horn is a reference to his knives but Rapid Strike Urshifu was also an idea.
    Allison:
    Allison is a fairy type specialist, and the 4th gym leader you fight. I'm thinking of a movie studio themed gym as she is an actress. She is friendly but a bit skeptical of the apocalypse scenario. Her legendary Pokemon is Azelf (who I will make fairy type as it is small and fairylike) as it is the willpower Pokemon and Allison can control people's wills.(edited)
    Klaus:
    Klaus is a ghost type specialist, and the 5th gym leader you fight. Not really sure what his gym theme should be while still keeping it PG. He believes you about the apocalypse but doesn't really care. His legendary Pokemon is Marshadow, as it links to his power of speaking to and summoning ghosts.
    Five:
    Five is a psychic type specialist, and the 6th gym leader you fight. I'm thinking his gym could just be a standard arena, maybe with different terrains, as his main focus would be on the gym battling itself. He is extremely suspicious of you. His legendary Pokemon is Solgaleo for his Earth-674 self (The Netflix show world) or Lunala for his Pokemon world self as they can create ultra wormholes, which travel through space and time.
    Ben:
    Ben is a dragon type specialist, and the 7th gym leader you fight. Not sure of his gym yet, it might be linked to Klaus' in some way as maybe Klaus will use Marshadow to summon him for the battle? He is quite cooperative and believes you about the apocalypse. His legendary Pokemon is either Zygarde or Giratina, as they looked the most like the monster that comes out of his chest (especially Giratina Origin Form) but am leaning toward Giratina because it is part ghost type and Ben is, well, a ghost.
    Vanya:
    Vanya is a sound type specialist (a new type I'm going to make), and the 8th gym leader you fight. I'm thinking either someone else owns the 8th gym, or it is abandoned, but when or after Vanya awakes to her powers (legendary Pokemon) and tries to destroy the world, she takes over the gym. Before this she is also your friendly rival. Her legendary is Meloetta as her powers relate to sound, and I have thought of making a new form for Meloetta, possibly violin themed.


    Elite 4
    ================
    Grace:
    Grace is an electric type specialist, and an Elite 4 member. She is the robot mother of The Umbrella Academy children.
    Dave:
    Dave is a ground type specialist, and an Elite 4 member. He is Klaus' love, and fought in the Vietnam War. In the trenches he encountered many ground type Pokemon.
    Agnes:
    Agnes is an ice type specialist, and an Elite 4 member. She is Hazel's love, and runs a donut shop. I think Vanilluxe should be her ace.
    Patch:
    Patch is a steel type specialist, and an Elite 4 member. She is Diego's love, and is a detective. She uses bullets and puts people behind steel bars, hence the steel type.

    Champion
    ================
    Reginald:
    Reginald Hargreeves is the adopted father of The Umbrella Academy, and the champion of the Akardme region. His team consists of 6 Pokemon that each symbolise one of The Umbrella Academy members (excluding Vanya, as he always excluded Vanya). Possibly Conkeldurr for Luther, Malamar for Ben, Slowking for Five (just examples).

    The Temps Commission (Evil Team)
    ================
    Grunts:
    Will be based on the look from the bowling alley and theatre attack in the last episode with the red gas masks.
    Hazel:
    An admin of the Commission, and often fights you in a double battle with Cha-Cha. Specializes in flying type Pokemon (a reference to Agnes' bird watching hobby).
    Cha-Cha:
    An admin of the Commission, and often fights you in a double battle with Hazel. Specializes in poison type Pokemon (or possibly bug).
    The Handler:
    The leader of the Commission. Specializes in dark type Pokemon. Very fashionable and talks to you as if you were friends.

    Other Character
    ================
    Leonard/Harold:
    Your secondary rival. Acts more like a traditional, mean rival, although not too mean. He is very nice and understanding to Vanya though. Either a poison type specialist to reference toxic relationships, or a bug type specialist to reference him being cast aside and treated like a puny bug as a child, then growing up to be strong and powerful.
