What? I was feeling creative It just feels a bit off for the setting. The big reason being in the Pokemon world you're legally an adult capable of living on your own and carrying around six WMDs and owning many more. He could've left a long time ago. Then there's the obviously religious anti-gay buas his parents have. We have never seen any sort of organized religion in Pokemon Pokemon except my one building in Hearthome City and it is noted to be foreugn as in not native to the Pokemon Nation. There has nrver been an anti-LGBT Bias in Pokemon either, there's even a transgender Trainer in Kalos.

Okay, I'll edit it in a bit. Didn't know how dark I could go and how close to the show/games you wanted. Though even if we havent heard of any Anti-LGBT types before, couldn't there still be some? With regards to religion I can understand though, I see what you mean.

Ninjas murdering the Champion, Elite Four and most of the Gym Leaders is dark. Homophobic and abusive parents as backstory kind of screams that you just want to be edgy and it's not likely to come up so what does it add? Sorry, that probably reads as rude, that's not my intent.

No, I dont take it as rude your fine. I kinda see what you mean but I wasnt really trying to be edgey as I more focused on the fact I had never played a character like that before. At least on the gay part, the abuse just wrote itself. I tend to put alot of thought on a character and backstory. But I can fix it to work better for story.

Hell my longest running OC is a lesbian. It's the abuse as backstory thing.

Personally, I think abuse and murder are on the same caliber, but to each his own.
Edit: I've got two OCs that have some kind or form of abuse in their backgrounds, one of which is actually Katrina! And really, no one form of abuse is better than another.
Edit 2: Any limits on learned moves? (TMs)

- Does it add anything to the story?

I guess I see where you're coming from. I just felt any world should accommodate it's people, not the other way around. Ultimately though, it's up to "the Gods".

Well we are working in an established setting and while I am making it a bit bleak, it's had several near apocalypses in its past. Overall though Pokemon is a cheery setting. The issues of gay rights and parental abandonment, and religious bigotry don't come up, it's generally a happier world. Murder, even if not of humans is documented though (Marrowak).

Edit 2: Any limits on learned moves? (TMs) Sorry I forgot to answer this. Any move that a Pokemon can legally learn through any means be it leveling, TM/HM, Breeding, Move Tutor is fair game. You only have four move slots per Pokemon though so choose wisely.
