>>32860600Slice of life character-driven cartoon about a small country town in Hoenn. The show is focused mainly on how Pokemon interact with the humans in their daily lives, from the helpful (Staryu helping water plants etc) to the not so helpful (wild Tailow eating crops ect). Follows about 4 major characters and 10 or so secondary ones, with firm episode-to-episode continuity as they tackle problems and develop their relationships. Very little battling. Near the end of the series, a "game protagonist" character comes through and everyone gets excited to have a real gym challenger visiting their town, leading to a series of battles in which the protagonist effortlessly bodies everyone's teams of 1-3 unevolved shitmons, including one of the main characters who prided himself on being the best trainer in the village. The final arc is him regaining his confidence in time for the annual town battle festival, which is the final episode of the show, culminating in a climactic battle with his childhood rival, another one of the PoV characters.
The episode ends on the final clash and the winner is never revealed.Plot ideas:
• A storm is coming (implied to be simultaneous to Kyogre's rampage near Sootopolis), and everyone has to help out to get the berry harvest before it's ruined.
• A mass migration of Zigzagoon causes all manner of mischief as they overrun the town.
• A mystery in which a villager is attacked and a family heirloom stolen, following all the characters as they search for clues.
• One of the PoV characters thinks he catches a glimpse of a legendary Pokemon in the woods, but can't convince anyone it's true. Despite attempts, they don't find the legendary Pokemon, but they do find a footprint they've never seen before, causing them to believe.
TL;DR the daily life of NPCs
