Hello everyone, the story is not abandoned. Real life happened, so I barely ever have time to write. Here I just want to ask you all for who you think the starter should be. The most popular answers and my own desires will be put in a poll in a week, and then I'll take it from there, based on that and my own preferences. The main thing is no legends, and as much as I love Riolu, and may have the SI get a Lucario later, I'm not going to go with that, as its far too cliche, and for that reason Pikachu is also most likely out. Sorry if you love him, I have nothing against him, I just want him to be unique. Keep in mind that I'll try to write all of them in a fun way, so even something more random like a Trapinch or Alolan Vulpix could work. Just throw out names. No galar ones though, sorry to the Snom lovers.
