/vp/ always say that all pokemon stories are bad regardless. If that's true, then I would like for you to come up with a better story for a Pokemon game. Here's the checklist:
>Rival
>Gym Leaders
>Champion
>Team Organization and Team Leader
Any other side characters, including canon characters (e.g. Looker), are optional. Legendary Pokemon, made up or canon, are also optional.
>"hurr pokemon doesn't need a story."
Entertain this idea for once. Feel free to criticise others.
