Pokemon -- Apocalyptic, gritty, dark version.
Okay, so normally--well always--we always aim for your typical, happy world of pokemon. Standard. It'll get darker as we go on, and such, but we never get that far.
What if we did a Poke-RP where the setting WAS dark? We have a number of options, either post-apocalypse... a place where training has been made illegal... And just a general, dark and gritty setting as compared to our typical Poke RP.
We'd probably confine to one city, or a few at one time... We'd do away with 'oh newb trainer fun introductions', we'd aim for 'pokemon battles are scary and not just for fun', and 'we're probably going to die' a lot more often than not. We might do full, post-apoc(which would be sweet<3), or 'dark and gritty city well on its way down the path of destruction'.
We always do the opposite, so maybe that's why we don't go any where?
Basically, we'd just shut down the current Poke RP, and boot up this one instead. It'd be more mature, darker, more illegal, and generally more awesome.
Who would be game? I'm namely aiming at those already in Pokemon Re-Creation... but I'm open to new players for it too. c:

I like it.
from the bit I've read here the battles would be illegal and underground, giving more of a street gang kinda vibe to the whole deal. It'd basically be sub rosa but with pokemon. From what I remember, Sub Rosa was pretty awesome, so that's a good start.
I can throw a few ideas. One I mentioned earlier, the whole Deoxy's virus. It's good but I'm less inclined to use it since it's literally ripped straight from someone elses idea. The second would involve team rocket or whatever their equivlant would be named, Axis from the last RP maybe. With this one you could play for either side, with Axis being a sort of kingpinish crime rule that serves as the main competition and enemy. On the other hand you can flip those roles with the players themselves being members of the crime organization, and the main enemy in this case being the pokemon league themselves, possibly having some sort of tyrannical rule over the city or region this takes place in.
Personally I rather option 3 meself, but if you have any fancy ideas of your own I'd be glad to hear 'em.
Oh, and water gun destroying a 30 foot rock serpent? That shit better not work in this version!

I did like that idea of rabid pokemon. Definitely a concept that can be worked with--I mean I have seen it before. Just create it another way, it should be fun.
There will be a criminal syndicate, as well, just far more dangerous and competent than Team Rocket could ever hope to be. Plus, we'd have the enemy of law-abiding citizens, and all kinds of stuff. Oh, can't forget wild pokemon.
Basically, I'm thinking Underground Black Market, run by the 'rockets' of this verse. Where Pokeballs and all that exist.
Pokemon will be a large part of the world, but are now regarded more as pets. They are not to be used in fighting, but can act on defense of the Trainer if a wild poke is encountered, or something. They will mostly do beauty contests, breeding, you know, all that recreational, non-battle stuff. There will also be a lot of pokemon not allowed to be owned, considering the violent nature of some.
As said... Pokemon do exist in the world, but over time, it has been decided that combating/training them became considered wrong, so they outlawed it. Still a very strong underground following though, extremely dangerous, winds you in jail for a long time.
Because of the lack of regulations, battles are far more deadly. We'll be seeing constant thread of death of not only our pokemon, but also the trainers. There will be less focus on being 'the very best' and more so on 'being able to be a trainer at all'.
I may, or may not, create a league of power houses in the pokemon league that sit higher up--like the Elite 4, though they would not accept challenges and stuff. They'd be more of the elite order force called out to quell the seriously dangerous trainers.
Overall, yeah, it does have a bit of an SR vibe, but I want to avoid that in some sense. I want this to be its own thing, far more broad than just a single group of kids that hang out and fight sometimes. This will be more of a movement, around the world, run by more than just a bunch of teens.
I have the basic premise, that virus will be a nice thing to work with, and so on. I just need more interest on peoples parts.
AGAIN, this would REPLACE pokemon RE-Creation, so that frees up those people. c:
