>>45514102im not sure what your game is gonna be like, but the arching story could be a thematic story like an existential threat or a war or a statement on the healthy and unhealthy relationships between people and pokemon in the pokemon world
one of my favourite films is a black comedy ensemble cast, with multiple separate character stories loosely overlapping but all building on different parts of the main point of the movie which is about how peoples sexual drives impede on their happiness. one character is a single woman whos family is pressuring her to get married, one character is an old man who divorces his frigid wife of 40 years so he can get granny pussy, one character is a paedophile, etc
