Uh, I'm in but I have a couple of questions
just a little niggle, what genre would you actually place this as outside of sci-fi? If we're going to continue with the anime terminology, is this a more mature shounen (aimed at young boys) or is it a seinen, straight up meant for older audiences? I ask out of formality. Knowing you it will be the latter rather than the former but I dunno, maybe you wanted to keep a small ember of the innocent fire that continues to fuel pokemon today.
Also, how long do you think this plot will take?. I'm slowly learning that having a rough time scale for an RP is a very good idea
