Yup. I don't want to start it too huge yet. Start off small, make it interactive for the most part. Then D and D mostly comes into play when u explore forests and routes. End of the day you earn items, poke cash, etc.

When it comes to traditional Pokémon journey fics and RPs, there's something I try to recommend to people. Try to make it stand out and feel uniquely different from what the anime and games do. Too many times, I've seen rehashes that usually don't make it past the first gym battle.

If this is what you plan on doing, I'd say try experimenting with the world and structure. Try an alternate reality, such as what would the world be like if say Team Rocket (or whatever bad guy team) really did successfully dominate the world. Would trainers have the same freedoms, or would they be constantly under authoritative oppression? How is life and the new Pokémon League different now and could the RPers be the source of positive change for the future? Or maybe scale back the time period. What would Pokémon Leagues and battles be like in an era that was like the 1940s in terms of technology and cultural norms? Or what if this was a Pokémon League taking place in a post-apocalyptic aftermath similar to Fallout and Mad Max? How would things be different?

So yeah, I'd invite you to maybe try experimenting with stuff, taking creative risks, and possibilities like that, but if your heart would rather stick with the traditional, that's always an option.

Slightly offhand, last night, I had a dream that someone posted a cool idea for an RP that had a storyline where instead of RPers taking command of Pokémon trainers, the storyline instead focuses on one female trainer's six Pokémon. The female trainer broke one of her legs in a forest and was unable to move, and it was up to her six Pokémon (who the RPers control) to head out and get help for her. After reflecting on that kind of RP (after realizing it WAS just a dream and no one had actually posted that), I think the only drawback it would have is it would need something else going on in terms of other challenges, as that kind of conflict could be solved relatively easily without all THAT much trouble. If the six Pokémon got the attention of just one human with a communicator device and lead them to her, bam, problem solved. But, it did provide an interesting starting point, however.
