Well, as long as I have a chance to get a different Pokemon from a later generation in the future, I guess it's okay. If the RP progresses that far, yes. Ditto is a little unique, but in later games, it can be found in the wild. So if more people want Ditto on the list of uniques, that's fine. Popular demand said no. Couldn't Abra have the move 'hidden power'? Seeing as they can use that move Well, I was thinking more along the lines of Confusion, but that also works.

About that popular demand against Gen 3... +1 no 1.) Generations 1 and 2, maybe 3 if anyone else felt like it +.5 yes +.5 no (arguable +1 yes) I like both Gen I and II, maybe III, but definitely do not include IV +.5 yes +.5 no 1: I never even looked at generation 4, but I grew up on 1, 2, and 3. +1 yes Gen I/II. Fuck Gen III and beyond. +1 no I wouldn't mind Gen 3 in there alongside 1 and 2. There were some gems of Pokemon in that series. +1 yes . . . . . 3 votes yes, 3 votes no, arguable for 3.5 votes yes, 2.5 votes no or 4 votes yes, 2 votes no based on the way Shackles Alastor and Icebrigade voted.

Unique Pokémon currently includes:147 Dratini (sorry grent) Ah, it's okay. I told you I had a second cho- 3) Pokémon from Johto (152 Chikorita - 251 Celebi) I might very well kill you. Not really, but seriously, I told you what my second choice was and you didn't say anything about no Johto pokemon... :C Also why is Scyther on the "unique" list?

Most Pokémon currently on the list are evolved, Legendaries, pseudo-Legendaries, Pokémon unique to the Safari Zone, or Pokémon that required trades in the games. I wanted one too but I think Scyther is too cool to be a starter

FINAL POLL After spending 3 weeks on vacation, I've finally mulled over everything enough and gotten enough help from people with much greater RP experience (both for the story side, and the system side) than I, I have one final poll to take before I launch the RP. Once this post is typed up, I will continue work on typing up all the information for the RP. I have a set system (which is also a bit of an experimental system - no one has done an RP for Pokémon before because of the complexity of the game and its mechanics, so please bear with me!) which I will be giving you the needed information for. All of that aside, the million dollar question:
Where in Kanto would you like to start this RP?[/i] I want to get away from the "Start in X town, linear progression" formula of the games. Whatever major, game-canon (gen I, II) Kanto location has the most votes will be the hometown/current city of all Trainers that are part of the group. If there is a tie, there will be a tie-breaker vote where the only choices for the city are the cities that are tied.
Addendum: Note that, since the game's formula of "start in x town, linear progression" is absent from this RP, all enemies will be scaled to your level. So if you start in Cinnabar or Saffron, and immediately try the Gyms, you will not be level 5 starter Pokémon taking on roughly level 35-40 evolved Pokémon.
The story will also progress dynamically, wherever you choose to travel to. There will not be a forced "Hey can you do this for me?" with the only answers being "yes" and "yes", or where "no" will simply ask the question again.

I vote Cerulean. Or Saffron, since you were talking about possibly outlawing Cerulean.

Here's a little teaser~ A Timeline and History of the Tohjo Continent NOTE: Most of this information is a summary of an amalgamation of the game, anime, and Adventures manga canon. If you already know most of that, this information should just be a review, and you can skip to the next section. (The Following Years) Two years prior to Red’s ascension to Champion, Mewtwo is genetically engineered from samples of Mew’s DNA in a laboratory off of the coast of Cinnabar Island. Over the next two years, Mewtwo quickly gains unsurpassable amounts of power, eventually destroying his lab of birth. The off-shore laboratory is destroyed, and all personnel are reported deceased. The Pokémon begins a rampage, destroying multiple buildings on Cinnabar Island. Most notable is the Cinnabar Mansion. The Elite Four and Champion arrive at the island to quell the super-powered Pokémon. Mewtwo flees, unable to defeat all five Trainers at once. He is spotted over Kanto on occasion, before settling in a cave just outside Cerulean City. For the safety of the people, only the Elite Four and Champion are allowed entry to the cave. The cave remains calm and quiet.
Red, Blue, and Green are called to Professor Oak’s Laboratory in Pallet Town. Their journeys intertwine across the following months as each progress through the Kanto Gym Challenge. Both Red and Blue challenge and defeat the previous Champion, Lance. Each is revealed to have a special bond with Pokémon.
During Red’s ascension to Champion, the three also fight Team Rocket, a criminal organization that, on the surface, dabbles in smuggling, stealing, poaching, selling, exploiting, and experimenting on Pokémon. Their Leader, Giovanni, shows signs of having ulterior motives, although they are never discovered. It is rumored that he has an illegitimate or bastard child. Giovanni is later revealed to be Viridian’s dilapidated Gym’s Leader. After his defeat at the hands of both Red and Blue, Giovanni flees Kanto and has not been seen since. After both Red and Blue’s ascension, he is also stripped of his status as a Gym Leader. Red is given the position, but declines. Blue assumes the position. Both relinquish the position of Champion back to Lance, although both retain the title.
Following his ascension to Champion, Red returns home, then mysteriously disappears. He is spotted in Johto the following months, and quickly defeats all 8 Gyms. He again disappears. Rumors state he is training at the treacherous Mount Silver. There have been no reported sightings of him since the disappearance, and is reported dead.
Three years after Red’s ascension to Champion, two young men, Gold and Silver, along with another young woman, Crystal, begin their own quest to defeat the Elite Four and Champion. Gold and Crystal are residents of New Bark Town and friends of Professor Elm. Silver is a mysterious lad with no known history. All three take on the 8 Gyms, and in their triumph, the Elite Four and Champion. They all earn the title, and leave to explore the region on their own.
During the trio’s ascension, they uncover a nefarious plot by ex-Administrators of Team Rocket. The trio of Rocket Admins assumes control of multiple locations in Johto, attempting to locate and/or contact their missing Leader, Giovanni. Gold, Silver, and Crystal all manage to topple the plan, and Team Rocket once again disappears.
Following the trio’s ascension, Gold, Silver, and Crystal part ways. Gold climbs Mount Silver to challenge Red. He disappears for just under a year, returning to New Bark Town inches from death. He recovers and stays in the city, helping Professor Elm. He becomes a renowned Breeder of Pokémon, known for his handiness with hatching Eggs. Crystal accompanied Gold to Mount Silver, although the two left each other to their own devices. The young woman trains outside the cave system where Red is rumored to be, and has found a hospitable old woman who gives her free room and board, so long as Crystal continues the training. It is said that Crystal can catch any Pokémon. Silver has disappeared as mysteriously and quickly as he appeared. The rumors go that Silver is the son of Giovanni, and entrusted the information to Gold and Crystal. However, both refuse to confirm said rumors. During his short time in Johto, it was said he could haggle with anyone and get them to trade any Pokémon he desired. The OP is currently: 8 pages (12 point font, Tahoma, formatted for the forums) 49 paragraphs 2,660 words 16,091 characters (this includes spaces) 13,479 letters (this excludes spaces) And all I have is backstory. I do not have anything typed up for characters locally, I do not have the system typed up, I do not have a character sheet.... I may add on half of what I already have in just that stuff.

The OP to the RP should be complete.
I am going to run it by a few friends that I believe can help me finalize the OP and make sure it's actually ready for release. If it all checks out, the RP can be released as soon as I figure out where everyone's ideal location would be. We currently have 2 votes: 1 for Cerulean, and 1 for Celadon.
Oh, and in it's current state, the OP is: 8 pages (12 point font, Tahoma, formatted for the forums ) 79 paragraphs 3,096 words 18,605 characters (this includes spaces) 15,588 letters (this excludes spaces)

So with no votes, I think I'm starting you all in Saffron. It's a very nice, central location, and with the backstory I have in mind, it makes quite a bit of sense. As well, it gives me a nice way to manage giving you all your Pokémon. Also, a little teaser tidbit of info~ It will be possible to catch every Pokémon from Generation 1 in Kanto, if you are so inclined~ Yes, even the fossils~

If your salivation starts to become over-bearing and you find yourself drooling in rather large quantities, bowls will be provided for you to drool into, and towels so that you may clean up yourself and any messes that you may make.

I'm just going to give a yea or nay now. Trying to work on completing the list (because it's not done yet) on top of doing all the required bits in PS to get them not-blurred is too much work, so I'm gonna keep down on time.
Just added Porygon onto a list.

Magnemite? Yes. Also, reworked map is in order: Note: I know neither Mewtwo nor Mew are on the list, nor is Route 26 through Indigo Plataeu on there. There are reasons for this that may be revealed.
