not so much an original character as an original region with many original characters living in it, based off my own 'region' of the world as it was in the late 90s when the first pokemon games came out.
welcome to the maahso region!
> Maahso is a cold coastal region just east of Unova.
> In the distant past it was a bustling kingdom of exiles from Galar, which was torn asunder in the war between the heroic twins who created Reshiram and Zekrom, the legendaries of Unova.
> In modern times it is a hub of technological and cultural innovation that is beginning to rebuild its aging roads with modern highways, and has recovered from a crime wave that once crippled the region.
> The capital city of Boston is especially famous for the large number of inventions by its locals, the convenience of its harbor and the prosperity of its trade.
> There are many universities that produce some of the smartest and most skilled professionals in the world.
> Sports (ie; specialized battles with multiple trainers on both sides) are integral to the city's pride and large stadiums host battles between the region's most powerful trainers as well as tournaments between those that wish to challenge the Pokemon League and its gyms.
> Nearly everyone in Boston is a Pokemon trainer and do everything from kayaking to running businesses to even just lounging in the park with their Pokemon, however, local laws in Boston and its neighboring suburbs only allow people to own one Pokemon.
> Getting around Boston has become nearly impossible due to the Big Diglett, an ambitious project that seeks to build an advanced underground highway in the big city and its surrounding suburbs.
> It is wildly over budget and well behind schedule.
> Popular in this region is the Pokemon Card League where people play a trading card game for big prizes, and many people join the Pokemon Rangers to keep Pokemon and the environment safe.
