>>39030421You're a ranger that finds a rare pokemon egg, it hatches into rare pokemon. Bad guys want the egg/mon, some to sell it, others because they believe it grants immortality or some gay shit.
Your goal is (with the help of other rangers) to dismantle the bad guy smuggling ring and reunite the pokemon with its mother
>The game can have different mechanics for battling/catchingCatching mechanic like SMT. Some Pokemon will just straight up join you because rangers are cool guys, other pokemon can be bribed with items or food, others need to be fought etc.
>BattlingWild encounters are not a battle by default, as some wild pokemon may be bargained with for items or intel
If you defeat a smuggler in battle you liberate their pokemon. You may recruit them. Smugglers pokemon may have moves and abilities unique to their species
