See, I love the idea because I love the characterization trope of a badass blind warrior. It's half the reason I love Toph from Avatar so much. I <3 blind characters.
And now that I'm thinking about it, there are a lot of awesome Ghost types in the Fifth gen. And seeing as how Black and White will at least be released in Japan by the time we would begin this RP, I think the obvious question must be asked.
Are 5th Gen Pokemon allowed?
I'd say no, not right away. I'd prefer to leave it with the Pokemon that we currently have. Now, I was thinking that after a while, depending on how long this RP goes for, we could have travel between the different game regions. And by that point, we'd hopefully have some of the English names, and then we could start allowing them.
Or is that too unfair? I mean, I'm sure that we could make some exceptions, like if it's only one Pokemon on a team, but no teams full of 5th generation just yet.
