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

Damn. This is the sort of stuff that my old, old character Ventus would write and hypothetically write in-universe, and as a Pokemon Sociologist with several PHDs and a natural (if severely messed up) Human Empath that is high praise indeed!

Honesty, I could see this as the abstract for a research paper published by Sylvia or another character in the campaign, and I'd be more than happy to incorporate and tweek it to better fit into the world. The only one I can think of right now is that Pokemon could indeed have 'human' or easily 'understood' names - even if they sound jibberish, likek Zycxga for example - and that body language and a certain amount of spiritua1ity/Insight is more significant for Communication in genera1 . However, that's on1y Wor1d of God speaking - In Universe the said Abstract could be presented as is and generate debate and supporters from the research community, if I or others really want to track down said geopolitica threads and come up with research together in game. For example I got ideas for 'books' about Trainers and how each Region and their culture perceives and shapes them, or the status of Pokemon Rights vs Human Rights. 

Most of the time I sit on this sort of stuff, though, since I don't really want to force worldbuilding down everyone's throat and I have a hard enough time keeping the game updated without said tangents or supplementary material being made. Still, if enough interest is there I do make said 'lore dumps' , and I hardly object to others coming up with their own takes on what I laid out!

He he!
I'm a worldbuilder myself, so this is one of my joys I'm all for lore dumps, if you've got the time and interest

In terms of Sylvia publishing, yeah, I don't mind that. She's a reader to the point where I had actually planned on her having writing as well. That said, whether she'd publish scientific papers or fiction... actually, I think she'd do both. Though if her fictional publishings are ever brought up, that'd get a real fierce blush out of her... *sly smile*
This gives her an in to knowing (of) Zephy, too, which makes that interaction fun
