>>26662502>>26662718>>26663164>>26663341Wow, just now checking back after a bit and it's cool to see my question sparked so much discussion!
My original question was a little misinterpreted so I wasn't sure if I should respond and put more focus on me, but since discussion popped up anyway there seemed no harm in it. This isn't as much the type of plot where once it's conquered, the RP is over - I more needed to create the setting and needed it critiqued.
But after reading what y'all had to say about antagonists, I decided crime to still be a prevalent issue but in the form of smuggling rare Pokemon. That way, players will be presented with the moral dilemma of participating in illegal black market trade or missing out on the rare Pokemon of their dreams.
