    I think we need to come up with a new region. I've already got one in mind, but there's no new Pokémon that I came up with. Just changed the standard concept of starting out with a Fire, Water or Grass-type Pokémon. Anyone care to comment on my idea?

    Sounds like a cool idea! Have you got types in mind already or is that undecided yet?
    I was thinking ghost-dark-psychic would be interesting, but you'd be at a pretty big disadvantage against rivals if you picked psychic;;
    Maybe rock-ground-steel, and have a focus on minerals for the villain team or general environment of the region

    Hmm. Well considering that Ralts was one of my proposed starters for this region. You've got a good idea. The region is an island region called the Atlantica Islands. The villains there are Team Trident and Team Blizzard.

    The team uses ice and water types then? That's a pretty interesting twist to the usual setup.
    If you were going to go with the psychic-dark-ghost combo, you could use the Sandile line for dark and Ghastly/Litwick for ghost. There's Deino for dark and Honedge for ghost as well, but I'm not sure how you'd feel about steel and dragon for starter types. The levels for evolution are much higher than Ralts' and Doublade needs a stone to evolve, whereas Kirlia evolving with a stone is optional. Of course, there's no need to stick to the usual formula, it would make things interesting after all.
    The secondary types can match up quite well too; dragon<fairy<steel

    The types that I had in mind are Psychic, Normal and Ghost was actually one of them. Otherwise I might have gone with Grass and not use the Grass type Starters. Plus in this region, you have much better chance of finding shiny Pokémon plus even a 50% chance of having a shiny starter Pokémon too. Anyway, the Normal-type starter I had in mind was Eevee and have 50/50 shot of getting either a male or female Eevee rather than 87.5% chance of getting a male and a 12.5% chance of getting a female. That's just wrong.

    I figured the gender ratio for Eevee was to preserve its status as a fairly rare Pokémon, since you typically only got one per game. It doesn't matter much now that Eevee is common though, so changing the gender ratio should be fine. Have you got an idea for the ghost type?
    I'm assuming you're having Pokémon from all regions? Are you sticking with preexisting Pokémon only or do you plan on including some of your own creations, too?

    Not really. My top choices were mostly Litwick, Gastly or even Pumpkaboo. And each starter would have a one of it's abilities, regular or Dream World ability. Plus the breeding mechanism is a bit different from standard breeding plus acquiring items like the Shiny Charm and Oval Charm are much different than Gen V and VI methods. Plus there would even be a Dream Charm too.

    How are you changing the breeding mechanics? Sounds like it could be interesting.
    Is the dream charm for evolution or an equipped item?
    I'm wondering about the villain teams actually, do you plan on there being a magma/aqua sort of relationship, or perhaps more like partners? Have you got any ideas for their goal?

    Both genders can pass their abilities on to their children. The male can pass their ability naturally, but the male requires to have the Dream Charm in her possession. As for moves, the father can pass their moves on to their children, but they can't be holding the Everstone, the females are opposite they don't need to any items. The Dream Charm is a hold item that have different effects a Pokémon of a different gender holds it. For a female, it's used more for breeding and for males, your chances of encountering Pokémon Dream World abilities goes up to 80% and in hoardes by 65%. The Shiny Charm also has different effects too for both genders.

    I am thinking

    Starters Type:

    Fight= Riolu
    Psychic= Ralts
    Dark= I really don't know >.< or Maybe an Eevee to make it more interesting :D

    Maybe there could be more than 3 starters? That would be a fun twist to add to things. Changing the number of gyms or having more rivals than usual could be a viable change, too. Maybe several specialists that act as rivals, but you choose one or two, or it changes depending on the starter. Kind of like the stat trainers from gen 4, but with types rather than stats.

    Interesting choices Darkest Ninja.

    Magpeonia: The Shiny Charm, when held by a male Pokémon increases the encounter rate of shiny Pokémon up to 55%. I originally had it at about 80%. Decided to drop it down. For females, they have a much better chance of having shiny offspring by 70%.

    This is an interesting item idea, it'd make shinies a lot easier to come by for sure. Pretty helpful for unlucky players like myself, haha;;
    Maybe you could have a similar item for Pokerus? An item that increases the encounter rate somewhat, or maybe a really rare item that gives your Pokémon the virus directly. A one time encounter item like a master ball, maybe?

    The Pokérus.... it's uncommon for trainer-held Pokémon to contract it. They have about a 35 to 40% chance of contracting it from being captured in Net Balls, Dusk Balls, Repeat Balls and Premier Balls.

    Sounds pretty interesting, have you got a reason for the specific Pokéball types?
    I remember reading about a relationship between pokerus and Deoxys, not sure if it was just a theory or written somewhere official. It was interesting, since Deoxys is associated with DNA and has the ability to change its stats. Perhaps a link could be made there? The Pokeballs idea is definitely interesting though.

    Sounds like a good idea. The region has seven gyms. None of them are based on type. Four of them are based stats and the remaining three are specialty gyms with the last gym granting the trainer the right to go to the Royal Cup competition.

    I like that idea, specialising in stats would fit gyms as well as having specialists, it would make taking them down more of a challenge, as you'd expect gym leaders to be. I'm curious about the Royal Cup competition? Is it a twist on the usual E4, or is it more similar to the battle frontier?
    Maybe a combination of both, that would be fun and challenging!

    What do you mean by E4? It's more like the Pokémon World Tournament. But in order to participate, you have to have the final badge from the Royal Gym. And getting that badge is no easy task. 15 gym lieutenants plus the gym leader herself.

    Your gym idea sounds much more challenging than the current one. It seems more fitting for what a gym is supposed to be. I like it.
    So there won't be an elite 4 to challenge? [what I was referring to by 'E4'] Or will they be a separate challenge you can attempt?
    Maybe you could do something interesting with contests, and make them more challenging and similar to the gym leaders path. It would be more fun than just having it as a side thing.

    There is an Elite Four to challenge. But to challenge the co-champions, you have defeat the Elite Four and get to the finals of the Royal Cup.
