BUGGER IT! Missed you! And if you want to privately discuss plot stuff over PM, feel free to. I don't mind.
Well it's up to you whether I put my plot suggestions here or not. It's your story. It depends on how much you want to give away if you choose to do it. Yes, water routes.
So, potentially, one of the party could have a large water pokemon mostly used for transportation in this area. Kinda like Ash's Lapras in the Orange Islands. Hmm...hadn't thought of that. I suppose so. The one that immediately jumped to mind was Wailord, but that would be pretty impractical for non-water routes...

Well, Min wouldn't be the one to have the water pokemon... she specializes in fighting and fire.

I thought that one too. I think, if nothing else, I'll stick Raine with the water transport Pokemon, since she's not really a fighter. Unless someone else wants a water type that's good at transportation. Well, Min wouldn't be the one to have the water pokemon... she specializes in fighting and fire.
Damn it ILS, stop making your character so eerily similar to my one trainer I was going to use!

Fair point. If my character has a water pokemon, I'd like it to be one that's at least somewhat comfortable on land.

Sorry, I just modeled her off a basic chararcter archetype D:
So far, what roles do you want the party to consist of? I mean, we know you want a gym battler, who hasn't been decided yet, a pokemon researcher, who HAS been decided... what other goals could the characters have?

*puts hand up* Actually, could I put my character forward as a gym battler?
As for other roles, I think there's contests, and I think someone suggested something similar to the pokethalon. Or however you spell it...

*marks down Gar and ILS's characters as potential gym battlers* I'll wait for David to respond and see if he wants to position before I start seriously deciding who gets the job.
I thought of another reason a trainer might be in the group: Bodyguard.
If you read Pokemon special, apparently during the Diamond/Pearl arc, the whole reason Diamond and Pearl were originally traveling with Platinum was because they were supposed to be her bodyguards....or that is to say, she thought they were her bodyguards.
Maybe Professor Maple asked one of the trainers to look after Raine?

Can I make another suggestion to go with that?
If there's going to be an evil organisation in the story, maybe there could be a character focused on bringing them down. Maybe not in the main party, but a recurring character that helps them out and asks them for help sometimes. I'm kind of inspired by Platinum's "Looker" here...

I only ask because, while David's idea of Min fighting for the fun of it is really good, and I vouch for it being implemented, I'd still like to give her some sort of long term goal... you know, just to avoid her becoming And Zoidberg.Oh, and if Gar and anyone else really wants the position, I'll step down. I said from the beginning that I wasn't going to fight teeth and claw for it.

Hm... Maybe Min could be Raine's bodyguard. I mean, if she likes battling as much as you say...
Also, your mileage may vary on just how awesome Zoidberg really is. He's one of my favourite characters...
I will however admit that I'm warming up to the idea of my character being a gym battler.

Hmm... that's also an option. Would also be quite funny, as Min would often demand a battle with Raine.
And I'm not saying Zoidberg isn't awesome (because he is), I just mean it in the sense that I'd like to avoid it being like, "Trainer A has a lifelong dream of being an X! Trainer B wants to do Y! Min is just.... kind of... there. Battling and doing stuff."

Yeah.
Sorry... typing it out actually makes it sound really selfish.

No, it's fair enough.
It's kinda like you don't want Min to become the Max of the story.

That's actually a pretty good analogy... Max was there, and he did stuff, but it never reallly served any specific purpose... he was just kind of there.
Yeah, that's the kind of stuff I'd, at least in some way, prefer to avoid.
