Gamefreak have given you an assignment. They want you to draw up a plan for a sequel to Pokemon Diamond, Pearl and Platinum. You will design two companion games that take place a few years after the events of these initial three games.

They wish to move away from the Dialga/Palkia/Giratina storyline and focus on a brand new storyline, preferably with new pokemon in the spotlight.

Some issues to address in your plan:
>Two new mascot pokemon
>A new bad-guy Team, or an updated version of the old one
>Preferably a new starting town, and your plans for how you will move around the region from that new town
>A few changes to the old Gym Leader roster and/or E4
>Your personal tweaks and additions to the region

Go!
