I posted this ages ago in the discussion thread but I never made an RPG out of it. I am now doing it so enjoy!
In this world (hereby after reffered to as the animal world) pokemon are naught but a fictional idea, created to entertain the minds of the youth. It comes in many forms like trading cards, TV shows, video games, etc. But what if they exist for real in another world. An impossibility that could occur if this were the case would be the merging of the two worlds, the lines that kept them seperate became blurred and unnoticable. What if roles were reversed and pokemon became inhabitants of the animal world and animals were plunged into the pokemon world? How would people react? What would people do? Would pokemon be embraced and loved like pets or shunned aside like wild beasts? Would the humans of the animal world allow another thinking species on the planet, would they allow smarter life-forms to co-exist with them?
These questions cannot be answered in theory or by specualtion, only by the actual happenings of the events. This is something that needs to be looked at in further detail.

Ok your characters will know all of that mentioned above except for the part about eradicating all pokemon. Your characters also know that the gyms were closed but then started working underground. (Underground as in secret, not underground as in under the ground in a hole)
You are a new trainer aged 15-18 that is about to recieve your first pokemon from Professor Minty. (If you notice something keep it to yourself) He has a wide array of pokemon to choose from but alot of rare pokemon he doesn't have so don't go choosing really rare pokemon. You are going to go around beating the underground gyms (there is no elite four.... not yet any way) but you may get side tracked. A lot of the people that are involved in pokemon will be quite young as alot of the older people didn't get into pokemon. The 'Professor' isn't actually a recongised professor but he does have an extensive knowledge of pokemon and he is 20 years old.
Here's the sign up stuff. There is limited spaces for this RPG but only the people I accept will get in, not necessarily the first people to post their characters. When I post my character I will not allow any sign ups after that time.

-extract from the diary of Ytnim, December 7, 2004.
The date is June 4, 2005. The 'Ytnim' that wrote the above text is missing and no-one has any idea of where he or she is or might be. His diary was posted encryted on the internet and as of yet this is the only part decoded. It was written only 2 months before the 'shift' happened. The shift, as it has been commonly referred to, is an event that we have no real information about.
What we do have is information on what it has caused. Early reports of the shift's effects are sketchy and at the time most of it was ignored but this is what has been scraped together. First all the animals except humans vanished from the face of the earth. Completely gone without a trace of what has happened to them. They have been replaced by creatures that are much like animals but are known to some as 'pokemon'. They are a fantastical idea created for the enjoyment of children in the forms of trading cards and TV shows. But now they are in fact real living creatures and they are populating the planet earth.
Now they are the most significant change the shift has caused but not the only change. In almost all towns and cities strange buildings have popped up. They are normal enough to look at and according to the signs on their walls they are called 'Pokemon Centers'. Inside they are much like a hospital but filled with equipment that has now been shown to be for the healing of these so called pokemon. One or two people in each town have miraculously gained the information to run the machines inside the Pokemon Centers.
Also items that did not previously exist have been appearing in shops and the owners have been selling them. The items are all very different but all seem to be for the use of pokemon. They appear to be made using technology more advanced than our own.
Now the people who knew about pokemon as a fictional idea and what to do with them bought some of the new items, specifially the spherical ones called 'pokeballs', and using them they captured some pokemon. We have gotten all available sources on pokemon and are having them researched now.
Using the pokemon contained in these pokeballs people used the pokemon to fight each other and make their pokemon stronger, some of them changing forms in rapid evolution. People who had the strongest pokemon opened facilities called 'Pokemon Gyms'. These are places where people come to battle their pokemon to make them stronger. The best battler stays in the gym and travellers challenge him or her to battles for a symbol they have defeated a strong trainer, usually a badge.
We have seen the potential danger in these gyms and have had them all closed. Furthermore, we see all pokemon as a threat to our existance and therefore, need to be eradicated. We urge for this to be passed.
