>>53931198>>53931214>>53931294Going from these tangents, it'd basically be a story in the post-apocalyptic genre. But you'd have to decide on a few groundwork things; namely the nature of the PMD pokemon and how they communicate. Are they more like the anime/mainline pokemon, or the intelligent mons from the PMD games? If the latter, and they can communicate among themselves, how? They all have vastly different physiologies that don't allow for physically making the same sounds, so does each species make their own noises but it gets "magically" translated between mons? Would the human get that same benefit? Or do they all speak a common language that the human may eventually learn? Written language tends to be more structured; is there one in this setting? If so, the human may be able to learn and communicate through it. If the pokemon are as clever as he, but he still remains unable to communicate, then he also has extended isolation to deal with, same as if the pokemon are more akin to mainline.
Now think about it from the pokemon perspective. One of these mythical humans has appeared, in the flesh and completely unaltered! If there's a major pokemon civilization/society in this setting, that'd obviously cause quite a stir. How do they react? Lash out, remove kebab? Try to protect and find a way to overcome the communication barrier? Put him on display like a zoo animal and try to study the nature of humans? A little bit of all of the above? Obviously how the human reacts depends on the character you're writing. I think it can be made to work.
And yes, I did just spend a few hours penning down some non-guild pmd related ideas, thanks for asking.
