Writers committed to writing begin writing this weekend. This isn't going to be about going crazy or being innovative, but about writing solid material and exploring Pokémon as a world and setting.
Unit 1: Introducing your reluctant protagonist.
Pokémon journey stories naturally begin with somebody who isn't a trainer getting a first Pokémon. In the games, it seems like a culturally natural thing to do. Thus, we have our first opportunity to be creative.
• Imagine your personal protagonist—be it Author Insert or an archetype whose shoes you would like to wear—as somebody who would live in the Pokémon world but doesn't live the cliché lifestyle. You have freedom of choice among the route trainer types seen in the games to guide your design.
• Your MC does not own any Pokémon. Imagine a reason for this, but do not reveal it.
• Open with a scene that indicates without TELLING what kind of person MC is and that unfolds to subject MC to a problem that would be solved by becoming a trainer of a particular (kind of) pokemon.
• Let MC recognize the drawbacks of getting one, and after weighing the options, choose to get the one that is best suiting, or so MC expects. (Let's refrain from legendary/unique, but method of acquisition is your choice. Be interesting.)
• Conclude this unit at the exact moment MC and Starter (in that role) would first make eye contact.
I'm guessing about 1750 words, let's try for a due date of Wednesday sunrise, since this weekend may be a little busy for some. Your hometowns are as follows, determined somewhat randomly but not really.
