As far as I've seen, the only things that that Elise and Serra have in common is ice-type and tragedy. As the game plays in a post-war country, it's obvious that LOTS of people had some form of tragedy in their lives, and since most fan games are doing 18 gyms these days to make sure the game isn't too short, it's also obvious that each game has an ice-type leader. My thoughts on an ice-type gym as 1st gym: it's going to be a very easy gym, as most ice-type start out very weak, slow or fragile (and usually remain that way as well). Alolan Vulpix and Sandshrew would be good though, Vulpix for Snow Warning and Sandshrew for countering rock-type (though they would still be pretty fragile). It could be a harder fight if item evolved pokemon will be used in the gym, such as Cloyster or Froslass, but using too many of these could make it overly difficult for a 1st gym. (Ps. the part where it's common for people to have tragedy in their lives is a little bit of a reference to Lindow Amamiya from God Eaters.)

Abra won't be getting Confusion, but Round instead, since it can't learn Confusion in any way and forcing it on Abra would mean that Kadabra's learnset would require some changes.

@ssbCasper Jess and I both came up with trainers based off of ourselves and were able to figure out your thought process by "teaming up". Might be fun to include a sort like event in the game.

@ssbCasper the more topics I find about Pokemon Empire, the more I'm looking forward to the actual game. Doubt this is intentional, but the more topics you create, the bigger the hype becomes.

I was actually thinking that the admins would be chess based and the E4 card based, in which case the admins would also be theme-based in the way I thought it would be. Also, it would really fit the E4 as well, seeing as they're always type-based. @Jess Vespiquen would actually suit the queen set more, as it's supposed to be the queen bee.

Better name imho would be Team Loyal (as they remain loyal to their "true" ruler), Team Monarchy (as they wish to restore the monarchy) or Royal Guard/Knights (doesn't have to be called "Team XXX" every time). About the members and admins being named after chess pieces or cards, grunts would be pawns, meaning nothing special about their team, rooks would be mostly tanky types, bishops specialize support/special attack and knights would be swift hitters, queen obviously uses all of those. The cards give me the feeling of Spades being steel-types, Diamonds rock/ground types, Hearts probably fairy-type and absolutely no idea about Clovers since simply grass type wouldn't quite cut it. Also, the king being the most vulnerable piece in chess, the heir to the throne probably wouldn't do much fighting himself, or as most important piece he'd be around champion level.

Thought it would be a better alternative, as using Confusion would require changes in Kadabra's learnset.

Unlike Confusion, Round doesn't get STAB, making it actually a weaker move on Abra.

@ssbCasper little problem, Abra doesn't get Confusion as egg move, or any special attack for that matter. Using a TM move instead could work though, in which case the most likely move would be either Round or Charge Beam, as the rest are already too high in power.

@ssbCasper changing the grass starter from Bellsprout to Bounsweet might also be a possibility which would also allow Horsea to become a water starter. Also noticed that Abra isn't getting any love at all, which is most likely due to the fact that most people don't know that it'll have an egg move right away.

Changing electric starter to Mareep is definitely a good idea. As for a different water starter I was thinking that perhaps Horsea might be a good and apreciated alternative, as far as I know, there isn't any fan game with Horsea as possible starter, and the fact that it has Kingdra, which has very few weaknesses, as final form, could also make it a popular starter. Perhaps changing the fairy starter from Flabebe to Ralts would also be a good idea.

There is 1 dragon pokemon that already has Adaptability (as HA), Dragalge, imagine that with Draco Meteor.

Metaknight met a knight with a Metanite XD Anyway, I know how OP that would be, I've seen the power of contrary Malamar and Serperior, a pseudo dragon with contrary would be far too OP.

I understand what you mean. It's quite a bit LIKE an RPG, but not quite the same as it's really story based instead of just doing whatever you want. In that point of view it's going to be a very unique fan game.

Grats on your victory! Too bad poor little Susan couldn't quite handle it yet. Doesn't really matter, to me Susan is still part of the absolutely cutest dragon line.

Doubt many people do. I just step into the 2 shadows, fight the Woobat and exit the area and re-enter right away, goes pretty fast because you don't have to look for random encounters. Also, you can just hit them with ground moves thanks to the field.

Good luck and DESTROY them. Also, my EV training spot is underneath the bridge against the Woobats, they give only 1 speed EV so it's never a wasted point.

Reason people don't have any problems with Banettite is because the final part doesn't have a double pronunciation like Dragonitite would have. Draconite, however, actually sounds like a plausible name for the mega stone, far better than Metagrossite, should've just called it Metanite.

So instead of an RPG it's going to be more of an interactive novel game? Interactive novel games, unlike RPG's, are more like reading a book with a few choices, so people don't have to relate to the MC. In that case I guess the fixed gender can't be helped. I'll definitely try this game when a demo is released, so I'll be looking forward to it.

I would want it, if I had twitter

Isn't that one from Pokemon Sage?

How about using a little bit of Susan's poison?

Obviously Flabebe and Bellsprout aren't getting any love at all.

IIrc, Dragonite already was a dragon-type in pokemon yellow.

If only it didn't need a special item in order to evolve, right? If it would actually be changed in Pokemon Empire, I might just choose Sneasel myself.
