I just realized that not many people are doing this challenge, probably because they haven't read the rules yet. So here you go.

1. Can take place in PMD world or regular Pokémon World

2. Must have minor permadeath. (Means that if you die in the story, you die in real life and others can't revive you, unless a Mythical or Legendary does. Also means that Reviver Seeds, Reviver Orbs, and Max and regular Revives are deemed useless.)

3. For people doing this challenge by yourself, pick your favorite Pokémon—as to be in first or second form. This Pokémon counts as you, but if you don't want to use a real name for privacy reasons, fake names are allowed.

4. For people doing collabs with one or more people, you can only choose one Pokémon that counts as yourself. i.e. Two people can't be Eevee as themselves.

5. Once the writer's Pokémon form finally gets chosen, you can't recruit/catch that same species or evolutionary line. You can use the same species for side characters though. Example: Carl chooses Charmader as his Pokémon form. That means he can't recruit or his trainer can't catch another Charmander, Charmeleon, or Charizard. However, another Charmander, Charmeleon, or Charizard could be used for different roles, as long as he/she isn't a part of Carl's group/team.

6. The plot is all yours to choose, as long as it isn't confusing.

If anyone would like to try this, I would really like to see what ideas you have in mind.
