First, fate must decide which Pokémon you become: https://randompokemon.com
Settings to Use: Generate 1, All Regions, All Types, all boxes checked (Natures optional if you feel like giving your pokemon a little extra in characterization). Take a screenshot so we know you probably weren't lying. Alternatively, if you're feeling much more truthful, go ahead and roll in the thread for your pokemon! (1d898). Some legendaries and mythicals have been dropped from the roster, due to their problematic powers and lore implications. Assume that the box art legendaries are unavailable.
