>>52814681This gives me an idea, DC characters but adapted to the pokemon world, no superpowers, they would be more attached to the franchise's NPC trainers (as far as possible), their sidekicks/minions would be replaced by pokemon, only using the most representative characters as trainers.
For example, Diana would be a 10yo buff tomboy recently arrived from an unknown region, she is adventurous and reckless, to the point of fighting together with her Aegislah pokemon.
Clark the friendly rival, a Pokemon breeder who lives on a farm (Actually he came to Unova as a baby from Ultra Space along with his Cosmog)
Bruce the edgy rival, a rich kid who constantly changes his main Pokemon, first a Riolu, then a Charcadet, followed by a Hawlucha,.....
Lex would be a gym leader with aspirations to become the champion, basing his battles on strategy over brute force.
Barb is a member of Team Rocket who only joined for her own selfish interests, her ace being a Liepard.
J is a Juggler/Clown/Harlequin trainer looking to destroy the league, just for fun, his partner is a female Meowscarade who would do anything for his trainer.
