Pokemon Z interest check / worldbuilding

Insofar, what I have is;

In the aftermath of the downfall of Team Flare, it seemed that tranquility and peace was restored to Kalos. However, due in part to the sheer finances involved and the friendship cultivated between Lysandre and his cadre, many members of Team Flare burned with a desire to see him avenged.

And it was in this environment, of a sudden surging groundswell of unrest, that THEY appeared for the first time. Calling themselves The Four Wise Men of Arceus, they decreed they were inheritors of Lysandre's ambitions. The world, they decreed, was corrupt and the strong took and victimized the weak as much as they desired. And this unjust world was now due for heavenly wrath.

With the Flare Boss' condition and status still unconfirmed though assumed to be deceased, these Four Wise Men declared their intention to create a Kingdom of Eternal Beauty and Order that would last more than a thousand years in the ashes of the "last world" - The Millenia Kingdom Plan.

With Team Flare barely fully snuffed out before this began, Professor Sycamore decided something needed to be done. He would not see these people pervert his old friend's memory for this grand disturbance.

Taking up a base in lands to the east of Kalos, the Wise Men began excavating, hoping to find and empower the "Forgotten Legendary Pokemon" Zygarde, believing it to be the keystone for their plan.

At the same time, a group of trainers arrive to Vaniville Town. At the same time, others embark on their journey from other locations. The mood is ominous on the road, but the path is clear - to the Pokemon League and toward battle with the newly revived Team Flare.

Essentially;

• Team Flare is revived with some of the old membership sticking around for one reason or another. The new leadership is composed of the Four Wise Men, whose identities are spoilers.
• You start out in Vaniville Town or in another early area, but if you join later you can have higher level Pokemon.
• The feel of this RP will be close to Pokemon Special, in terms of battling and the general nature of things, though this will follow after Pokemon X and Y.
• Some members of other villainous teams will join up with the revived Team Flare, including members of Team Cipher, Galactic and Plasma. Some incarcerated members have been implicitly "rescued" by the Four Wise Men.

Possible interest.

• Shadow Pokemon will be making a come back, though there will be a conflict of interests in their use - the higher level bad guys do not like it, and eventually this results in an interesting event.
• One of the rivals you'll see starts with a Goomy for rather comical reasons.
• There will be custom cities in the eastern regions beyond Kalos, and there will be a longer plot and other subplots beyond what was offered in X and Y.

Possible interest myself as well.

I may or may not have interest depending on certain factors. Not sharing them, though.

Also possibly interested.

So, given there will be some new cities / towns, do any of you have ideas about these?

Hm, since there's going to be Shadow Pokémon, we'd most likely need either a way to travel to Orre or another place with a Celebi Sanctuary or a lab with the correct equipment. One could probably base one town around that.

Yeah, I am thinking about a town called Sanctum Town in the east that is said to be home to Celebi, whose sanctuary there has water with mystical properties.

Can any of you guess who the Four Wise Men might be?

Interested. I don't really do RP's but I love Pokemon and this seems like it would be fun.

It'd be neat. I'd have to see what the options for starting pokemon would be before committing though.

What would be the preferred starting Pokemon open to us?

I mean, given we're in Kalos, the Kalos Starters will be a given, but what else do you guys want?

My favorite pokemon will always be Mawile.

Which admittedly, is probably one of the less good choices, but still. I like it.

Another option would probably be some of the other starters, from other regions. It's a slight cop out but still.

We couldn't come with our own pokemon (under a certain level and such) could we?

I'll probably take Froakie. He's probably my favorite Kalos starter.

Well, you could be trainers people from the starting town meet up with on the road and decide to travel with.

Hence, you could choose your starter, but I'm just saying it shouldn't be something massively powerful right at the start.

I'll allow starters from other regions, too.

I've never played X or Y so I can't join in. Plus I'd want a buffed up immortal Totodile and an immortal Trainer to play as. Plus I'm in another RP. Too much else to commit to.

For a second there, I thought this was a combination of Pokemon and Dragon Ball Z. :P

Glad to know I wasn't the only one.

I've been thinking about R Ping a scientist and will thus likely choose either Magnemite, Voltorb, Porygon, Ditto or Abra assuming all unevolved Pokémon will be available.
Wouldn't mind being limited to the starters or something else though.

Personally I feel like starters should be open to any low-power basic pokemon. Limiting to just starter pokemon would be very... Unpleasant. It basically kills variety.

I would totally play this if I weren't involved in another pokemon rp.

Even then, this does seem rather interesting.....

Yeah, that's alright with me - heck, maybe the Pokemon you get is a gift from a parent, or something caught with a borrowed pokemon, like Wally's Ralts.

I'll post the sign up sheet - I think we've got a good amount of interest.
