>>39440705>villain is a psychopathic poacher who makes money by stealing peoples pokemonBut why? They are literally fucking everywhere in near infinite supply. The only ones that'd be worth going after would be the exceptionally rare like unknown legendaries or shiny pokemon which could be sold for large sums of money
>she believes humans are just pokemon and wants to make herself evolveSo shes Howard Clifford. He didn't actually believe it to be literal but he lives by that exact philosphy but wants all humanity to evolve too
>player characters father is the professor and has been researching the origins of pokemon and humansThat'd be in line with the pokemon games Post XY, your mom or dad have to be famous now for some reason which always ties to the Professor of the region, in XY its why you were able to go on a journey in the first place.
>the villain burns down your house, steals your fathers research and catches him in a pokeballDark. Also.... is your Dad a pokemon? Please tell me hes something silly like Ditto and you're actually one of his many illegitimate children/research projects
>rest of the game involves finding and saving your father and defeating other poachers who are trying to collect a bounty put on you by the villainInstead of poacher why not make them corrupt officials and the bounty on you makes it seem like you are villain which is why every trainer in the region ambushes on sight, they either want the bounty or they simply want to stop who they think is a criminal
