Other Pokemon

If, however, a player desires to start with a different Pokémon in mind that is none of the ones listed above, it is encouraged that they submit a request to the GM for the specific Pokémon they wish to start with, as well as any narrative reasons as to why they wish to do so. For example, a player wishing to start with a Growlithe because their family has ties to Law Enforcement will likely be accepted; a player wishing to start with a Regigigas because they’re just so naturally talented will likely be rejected; If you want your character to catch a Legendary, it cannot be trivial. It will require narrative justification, long term work, and GM approval.
