>>58818226 (3/4)there are a few other subtle hints to support that idea like Poke Balls not having a red light come out like the anime or anything like that. just to get it closer to the feeling of being in the world of specifically the gen 1 games, not the anime (even though Yellow does take things from the anime) or the game series in general, without making it so obvious and blatantly saying "This takes place in the world of Pokemon gen 1 games btw" in the story.
If Yellow is included he should have Pikachu as a starter, but the Pikachu he does have hangs out beside him like Yellow, and he has a Wartortle by the time he reached Vermilion which implies he chose Squirtle as a starter so he doesn't have to get one from Officer Jenny. so kind of like combining some of the logic of the gen 1 games together.
so in PokeNormal from what I read so far, although it does take place in Kanto like Vermilion PD, a lot of later stuff is mentioned like Poochyena, Komala, Alolan Raticate, Rotom phones, etc. I'm definitely not saying that's a bad thing, just if there were a crossover it would really break the rules I've been trying to follow for the world, especially with Poochyena being a main character.
It would definitely be interesting though with Jenny and Rookie who act like more serious characters linking with Tobio who is more goofy, and the police officers + detective roles fit together, it sounds like a fun dynamic/interaction. since PokeNormal does deal with paranormal and stuff like that, maybe Tobio could be sent back in time or something if I had to try to force it. but still, him being from a world that has more than RBY just existing kind of also breaks the "Mostly only everything in RBY" exists rule because in that world none of the later stuff even exists at all or is thought of as a possibility yet.
