[Meta Thread] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure 2: The Wild Lands

(...) Yes, they can freely travel between Sutalor and the Mageocracy, and have enough clout to take at least 1 Other Person/PC with them, so long as they vouch for them and keeps a 'close eye' on their activities. This means that the party will be somewhat split if you decide to take someone with you to the land of magi, but if we're starting in Bayhama that's less of a problem than most considering I have planned for it to take awhile for everyone to explore it.(...)

Yesss! That's good news, great ones even! \(^ヮ^)/ Hyped to explore these secretive islands and get familiar with Special Encounters/fortune-triggered things exactly there! Because oh boy, I feel like this is going to be a thrilling ride, in a good and bad sense - that whole homerule of Fortune and how it has an influence on things is definitely something I am excited to see in action. Looking forward to see what y'all others have chosen to go with, characterwise and fortunewise!

Unfortunately for you people though and sorry to say that, my lone-wolf-PC is pretty surely not going to take anyonelse with 'em to the Mageocracy, for various reasons, the biggest one is that it's plain in stark contrast to xem's nature/view on things in-chara, and has chances it may be put them into a bad light due to their position. Sorry again! (>o< ) I...hope this won't cause problems too much since we'll be somewhat split as a party then at the start until we start to leave Bayhama, but seeing you have already planned for exploring that big city to take quiiiite a while - that's relieving to know. Less anxiety on my end, phew.

Following the train of thought though I have to ask you another thing: Pokedexes! Given we're not the ordinary fresh and completely-new type of PC that starts from zero (read: New Trainer embarking on very first journey like in the canon games), do we actually start with a Pokedex? Are they even a thing, how important/game-relevant are they to own, or do we have other means to stay in contact with one another in-person? Are customized or 'special' Pokedexes a thing, similar to the Almanac Dex I had in TheSkullRuins (if so, I'll send you a PM with an idea for that for my PC)

Tiny update: I'll be completely free on Thursday, aforementioned short appointment has been re-sheduled by the other party to Friday instead.
