So, I figure I won't jump right into a story line but more lay out the basics and have you lay out yours. :)

Let's see, I'd like for it to take place in the Kanto region, but that doesn't mean we have to strictly adhere to Kanto pokemon. Kids can be the offspring of show pairings, too. Like, Ash/Misty or Gary/Dawn or something. Even fifth gen, like N/Touko is pretty popular. I dunno.

Anywho, my character.

Name: Anyssa Greene
Age: 16
Sex: Female

General appearance: Light, tannish brown hair that falls to mid-back. Dark brown eyes. Clothes tend to always be some shade of green. (I'll draw her eventually, too.)

Mini-background: Started travelling when she was younger and stayed with a breeder friend for a while in Goldenrod City, but left to return home to Pallet Town for a while. She got cabin fever again, though, and told her mom she'd be leaving for good this time, wanting to strike out and catch and train Pokemon. She's off to the see the Professor and is going to ask if he wants help out in the field. (Or at least, she will be when I write it.) She doesn't have any of her own Pokemon at this point.

Pokemon:
Squirtle
Pidgey
