PMD Crossroads - World-Building and Story so Far

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Crossroads
World Building and the Story So Far!

This thread is to create and track the world-building progress of the Community Comic. We are not allowed to plan or plot things for the comic's story, but we can gather here to discuss world-rules and how they should apply to the comic. This will be done to maintain consistency in how the different writers treat the world.

For example, the types of things we need to discuss would be: Is this a PMD world in which humans existed in myths? Yes? No? Or is this 100% a Pokemon world. How many moves can Pokemon learn? Do explorer badges teleport teams out of dungeons? Does normal water physically harm fire types- or only water type attacks? We can't have a Flareon swimming on one panel then have a drop of water from the top of a cave KO her!

As the comic starts and new ideas and places are introduced, we'll log them. If our characters end up in a forest, we'll mark that the forest was near their previous location. If one artists/author introduces a guild, we'll write down what we know about the guild. Heck, we can even try to add a bit to what is seen in the comic. So long as no plot-related decisions are made, it's fair game. It's also very much subject to change if not officially presented in the comic.

If someone working on a page wants to dispute or go against anything here, they may do so within reason. They may not, however, change anything that has already been set on page.

Established World Rules

Reviver Seeds do not revive the dead. They can revive fainted Pokemon, but not to full health.
Fire Pokemon are generally weakened by water but can, in most cases, swim or come into contact with water without serious repercussion.
Explorer Badges cannot be used unless the user is standing still. It also has limited charge for one trip. This is to prevent 'Get out of jail free' cards. It may also teleport enemy Pokemon if they are in close proximity to the user.
Carnivorous Pokemon exist.
No move limit currently in place, but natural growth should be used.
