Looking for suggestions for Trainers for Pokemon Tabletop campaign

>>30451790
(( OP here. Full post was too long to put in the thread starter so continuing here... ))

The setting I'm using is the normal "modern day" Pokemon setting, just in a Region of my own creation (based on the area around the eastern part of the Mediterranean with Italy, Greece, Turkey, Egypt, etc). It ostensibly takes place (I'm not really hard-set on the timeframe) around three decades after the events of Gold/Silver/Crystal. If anyone has any questions about my campaign that would help narrow down their suggestions, or even questions about the system in general I will try to answer them as best I can.

I'm also more than willing to receive suggestions for special wild Pokemon encounters, sidequests, and anything else of the sort that I can throw at my players. The more unusual and novel the better, and don't worry about the potential difficulty or level of mortal danger any of your suggestions you may have! The game has built-in rules for going well beyond the usual cartoonish damage limitations seen in the games or anime. I'm welcoming any and all ideas!

Bumping for hope :c

pity bump

>Luchador that uses Hawlucha, Incineroar, and Steelix to grapple war pokemins while the trainer grapples the trainers, preventing them fro giving effective orders

6 heroes of justice, who spring forth, the Prism Rangers! Pokemon? What're those? These color coordinated chumps take the fight to the player's pokemon directly. Remember your basic Sentai roles when giving them moves and stats. And Red's the leader.

I'd definitely use this idea if I wasn't already planning on having several superpowered asshats that constantly harass the players. 'Course they have actual reasons to do so. Plus, the setting is a little too well-controlled to allow for random teams of chucklefucks to run around beating up Trainers unless they wanna get the law after them.

This is actually an excellent idea for a deputy in one of the Gyms I've already built. Thanks a bunch!

Honestly might be a better idea asking on /tg/. PTU threads are rare, but when they do show up they typically last longer and do better than they do on /vp/.

>Not inciting a turf war between the Prism Rangers and the Hexagon brothers the party doesn't want to get involved in, but is forced into anyways.

>>30452532
See, I would give them type shifted pawniard or bisharp, at least as an ace, that match their color scheme

Could make a rock band out of sonic and social combat classes. One guy as provocateur, another a roughneck, a musician, a dancer, and an athlete roadie?

>>30452736
Ah, thanks for the advice.

>>30452811
Would be funny, surely, but it would be a hell of a lot of work for a sidequest that would go literally nowhere. Still, I might condense that idea somehow...

>>30452896
Re-create the Trojan war as an arc. Now you have roles to fill. PokeOdysseus would be pretty fun. Especially when you have the Odyssey as a campaign

>>30452888
Sadly, I've already got two different "band" groups ready to savage certain players, so another would be a bit redundant. I do like your method of thinking on that, however, covering all the archetypal bases and whatnot. Actually, the idea for a roadie never even occurred to me. Would give me a good excuse to boost the numbers on one of the pre-existing groups.

>>30452811
I may steal that one.

>>30452967
I'm afraid the level of technology and the state of what amounts to a government in the Region would not really allow for a sidequest arc like that.

The campaign itself is a "hidden intrigue"-style plot regarding a new "Team", with the plot itself operating underneath the guise of the bog-standard Pokemon League Challenge as a way to encourage the players to venture about the Region.

There are plenty of trainer types in the games to choose from with implied personalities and preferences of what pokemon they use.

>>30453089
That's fair. Is your campaign going to take inspiration from contemporary events in the inspired areas or are you looking for something unique? Also is there a new motif to this new region?

>>30453128
I'm well aware of all the canon Trainer types (and also how to use bulbapedia, thanks). What I'm looking for are novel, hopefully more unique and "characterizable" sorts of Trainers to keep the level of creativity in this campaign at a sufficient level. Besides, most of the commonly-seen Trainer archetypes from the games and such have already been turned into Classes for the system.

>>30453162
Except for the natural landscapes and habitats from the different real-world areas that make up the Region I'm barely taking anything from them to include in the campaign, let alone contemporary events of any type. To be honest I'm taking quite a few creative liberties on the habitats and landscapes as it is.
I'm not really certain what you mean by "motif" though. Elaborate?

>>30453465
Well Unova had a very NYC feel to it with subways and skyscrapers. And france has the whole berry fields and eiffel towers.
Are there any stuff like that. Like say a town canals and gondolas or stereotypical egyptian desert city. Will the ruins in the Greek Area have a Greek architecture?

>>30453646
Oh! Yes, of course. All towns and cities based on real-world locations, especially the major cities (Alexandria, Cairo, Athens, Venice, Rome, etc) will all have varying degrees of motifs specific to their cultures and histories. Of course, a lot of it is streamlined to work with the Poke-centric feel and history of everything, but for the major cities I'm definitely trying to keep to their more quintessential features. Lots of ruins, that's for damn sure.
