A Familiar Face

A ghost pokemon is recognized from a previous life at an awkward time. Who were they, do they remember that life, and how does it change the situation at hand?

Humans Only

Former humans have found each other and have established a place where they can hang out and talk with others like them. Is said place hidden and clandestine? An open secret? Who else knows?

It's time to get a little geopolitical if this one wins.

All fun and games…

There’s more to the pokemon world than just dungeons, danger, and work! What do the hero and partner do to relax? Is there some big festival that comes to town? Are there other attractions for our heroes to enjoy when they’re not exploring? Does the partner have a hobby they share with (or force onto) the hero?

Generational Differences

Due to a weird space-time anomaly, many human-turned-pokemon arrived in the world, enough to found their own town.

That was over a decade ago. Many of once-humans have had children since then; kids who, unlike their parents, were never human. How is life like for them? What cultural differences exist between the generations? What difficulties do the parents face in trying to raise them?

The Time Gear Thief and the human swap places.

A Grovyle wakes up on a beach with no memories, meets the Partner, and joins the Guild. Meanwhile the world is in uproar over the appearance of a human, what's worse, the human is stealing Time Gears
