1. Being generally OK with breaking laws is probably fine for Palila. Illegal doesn't always mean unethical, tbh.
2. Makes sense they wouldn't bother with defeating traditional gyms. Being tested to move to the next rank sounds fine and interesting, but if we are going to try to run a similar gameplay style, I'd like the test to be a pokemon battle similar to gyms. Maybe it is defeating a team rocket grunt who is a level above them?
3. I figure stealing pokemon and items will be the way we GAIN items and pokemon as villains- instead of wild encounters and positive, helpful NPC quests, we see someones Pokemon and take it? Will we need a new system for these things, or will we still be using points to capture pokemon?
4. Plot points, story direction. Check check check. Its already happening in Platinum and every other game so I figure everyone is ok with that.
5. Rash actions or foolish plans leading to jail is.... interesting. Most of the main characters are under 18. Juvie? Ok. Being detained and having to pay bail or something? Sure. Actual jail? Seems pretty extreme for a teenager!
I love having repercussions for actions and choices, but it is still a pokemon world, right? If we are going to break the law, I hope the justice system can be well defined enough for us to know what genre of punishment our characters are in for. Roleplaying being in jail for 15 years might get boring :P
6. Being in simultaneous world stories is cool! Hopefully we can function at approximately the same time-rate. I figure if the DMs move time along in the threads as close to each other as possible, we shouldn't have too much trouble if it comes to a crossover battle (if one team ends up weeks in time ahead of the other, imma call shenanigans!)
The idea that one story will influence another will probably keep me reading both, if I have the time- just to be able to watch the whole show (if that makes sense- like game of thrones, where POV skips from one story to another, and they can intertwine. So cool!). It would still be alright to read Platinum GoodGuys ver. right?
