Poll I guess?
8 years ago
I've been thinking of doing something a little different, and I'm just kind of scanning for interest if anyone actually, you know, reads journals, let alone mine, but if I were to do a short series, told from the eyes of trainer pokemon as they are captured and dragged through an adventure, not unlike the games, told as journal entries and from an actual like, in-game pokemon world (mostly so I don't have to come up with everything -- creativity is hard when you don't have a brain or other functioning organs).
With this in mind, which gen's town and general world would you like to see represented in the stories?
For reference, there's:
Kanto (Gen 1 - pallet town, viridian city, pewter city, etc)
Johto (Gen 2 - new bark town, violet city, azalea town, etc)
Hoenn (Gen 3 - littleroot town, petalburg city, rustboro city, etc)
Sinnoh (Gen 4 - twinleaf town, jublife city, oreburgh city, etc)
Unova (Gen 5 - nuvema town, striation city, nacrene city, etc)
Kalos (Gen 6 - vaniville town, santalune city, lumiose city, etc)
Alola (Gen 7 - iki town, hau'oli city, heahea city, etc)
It'll be a little while before I start working on this, so feel free to offer input! It'll be told with my... let's say, unique narrative voice and follow a plot of my own devising, rather than the game's plot. The gen is just there to make things a little easier for me in terms of things like badges and towns, y'know.
Please, offer your inputs below!

I stopped playing for the most part at like Gen 4 I think, so 1-4 is probably my limit in suggestion. Alas I'm not particular, but since most Pokemon are in the later gens, I guess I'll pick Gen 4 by default.
Are you saying make them 'journal entries' as in like this journal entry, or just a story upload that is done in a journal-style?
I would say it has natural potential depending. It just depends how you do it. If you follow playing through the game and, for example, stick them in a day care, how does that affect it? The plot is vaguely per-determined cause we know the general game plots, so how different or similar would these entries go with that?
It's like publishing these pokemon's diaries or journals as actual stories as they look at their role in the greater arc of their team as they go along an overarching story.
So, with that in mind... I'm voting for my blatant land of water and trumpets bias! Be it gen 3 or 6!
Yeah, it's inspiration. I've had this on a backburner for years now. It's time to move it to a front burner
