I just read the rest of the thread to get an idea of what we had already talked about. I think the original 151 would be cool for the initial setup, but what's just me. I've played Blue, Silver, Crystal, and Sapphire. I actually don't even have any problems adding the G/S/C Pokemon, but having 450+ Pokemon would be insane and not very cool. RBY and GSC were the best, so I think we should stick with those ones. Stick to Johto and Kanto.
Also, (*assumes he's been made GM already*) I think we should start taking reservations on characters. I'll take Brock for sure right now, and maybe later another character.
Also, I just wanted to clarify main character names as their offically unofficial names, for clarification.
RBY - Red (male starter), Leaf (female starter), and Blue (rival).
GSC - Gold (male starter), Kris or Crystal (female), and Silver (rival).
So...I'll make the list.
