Ask me anything about my pokefic (repost)

Pokefic Discussion

Hi,

I'm currently writing (well, not really. But I'm thinking about it a lot) a pokefic.

The setting is similar to medieval fantasy, there existing things like dungeons and the Adventurers Guild instead of the Pokémon League. Pokeballs do not exist yet.

The Region: It's based around Paldea and Kalos, but I don't have an exact parallel to where it'll be in those regions and I don't have a name for the region yet.

Dungeons: They are like your typical Fantasy dungeon. They appear out of nowhere, filled to the brim with treasure. But you might encounter pokémon inside, but they are not your regular pokémon. They are made of a shadowy substance, living by pure instinct. At the end of each dungeon you'll find the boss of it.

The Adventurers Guild: Here you don't have "trainers", but adventurers instead. There's nothing special to tell about them besides what you could probably already expect.

Battles: Since pokeballs do not exist, adventurers of course can't have that many Pokémon. The max. are most of the time 4. But unlike the battles you know, all Pokémon fight at the same time. That's why most adventurers came up with the strategy of how to battle. Most often you have a Tank (imagine something like Aggron), a Attacker/Assassin (like Greninja or just generally a strong Pokémon) and your support. (like Clefable)

Other factions:

The Seven Sins: They are seperate and don't work with eachother, but they are often named together. They are criminals known by many, their crimes befitting the sin. They are the main antagonists for the story.

The Cults: There are three. For one there's The Order. They worship balance and order, Zygarde being their deity of choice. Secondly there's The Preservation. They believe in nature and life, trying their best to uphold it. Then finally there's The Withering. They worship destruction. But they never cause it out of malice. They are actually very neutral, even though there's a slight rivalry between them and The Preservation. They are also quite hated because of a certain event.

Main Character/s: I don't have a name yet for the MC, but he's an adventurer. As a child his village was destroyed by the events known as "The Calamity". Yveltal awakened, causing destruction everywhere. The entire village was turned to stone, him being left the only survivor. He swore to become stronger that day on. His main partner is a Rowlet and a special Honedge. He found Rowlet once on the shore. Nobody has every heard of Alola, so it's a pokémon never seen before (I plan on making a fanfic based on ancient alola too). His Honedges blade is made out of bronze instead of your usual steel. Honedge are very common in this time.

Later on there will be two more characters introduced, but they aren't fully fledged out. But if you're interested, please ask about them.

The main focus of the story: The MC is finally allowed to enter a dungeon. From there on he meets new friends and Pokémon. But there will also be many conflicts, especially with the Seven Sins. You can ask about my thoughts there too.

Special mechanic: Crystization. It's a mix of terastilization and mega evolving. The Pokémon when crystalizing form crystals all over their body, enhancing their powers to a high degree.

I think this is it? Sorry for the long read, but I thought I just really wanted to blabber out some of the thoughts I had for this. My DMs are closed due to age restrictions (I'm 17). So write in the comments or if you want to write in Dms just tell. Hope you liked reading about my hyperfixation haha
