>>22185452I insist, what could be an interesting turn in the Pokemon series is making parallel stories, and makes a lot of sense due its "dual version release" thing Game Freak likes to do.
Have this hypothetical case:
Gen 7 games are Pokemon Lux and Pokemon Umbra. The games have 6 starter lines, 3 for each version: Lux has the classical Fire-Water-Grass while Umbra has Poison-Psychic-Bug.
The protagonists should also be different and start in different cities. Gyms are beaten in different order for each game.
They often cross paths in their journey, making an interesting rivalry story.
Finally these stories converge in the same Victory Road, Elite Four and League Champion.
Pic related, a crazed Lucario is fine too.
