>Legends Victinimid-to-late twentieth century region inspired by Miami/southern Florida, A villain boss is trying to use victini's "victory power" to gain more power in and beyond this region
Starters - Fomantis, Darumaka (Unovan) and Slowpoke (kanto) are the starters, because they evolve around the same levels, final evos have similar bst and I like them
when you get to pick your starter you get to choose it's ability (including it's hidden ability), with the text box saying something like
"This Fomantis really shines in sunny weather" (Leaf Guard) or "This Fomantis doesn't let a tough situation get it down !" (Contrary)
"This Darumaka likes to go full force, it's moves lack a bit of finesse " (Sheer Force) or " Despite it's -Insert Nature- you can feel a zen like aura off this darumaka" (Inner focus - Zen mode as Darmanitan)
"Little Slowpoke doesn't pay attention to little details" (Oblivious) or "Slowpoke lives by the beat of it's own drum" (Own Tempo) or "This Slowpoke can really spring back after a short rest" (Regenerator)
you can obtain the reginal variants for these starters after a short miniquest, about the time when your starter evolves you can get the items to evolve the variants
Fomantis doesn't get a regional variant but instead a bug catcher/Maniac will give you a Scyther after confusing fomantis for a bug type
I also have a this vague sort or regional dex of mons i would have, although they can be replaced by analogues or better suited ones.
the region I envision doesn't really have a functional traditional league, it would have battle facilities that can form a sort of pseudo-league/ rite of passage, but this is like a side plot to the main story
