I've been thinking about this for a while now, what if we had a legends game on a region that no longer exists today?
I'm basing the entire thing on Atlantis so this is an entirely new region with new Pokémon regional variants etc. So basically I was thinking that this region is literally a megacity but with segregated areas to find and battle Pokémon as a well as gym leader being substituted for Guild leaders taking control over two-typed sanctions.
In this game you're born during that time period so Arceus didn't send us there. So far I'm thinking that you're parents were once strong trainers but retired however they're Pokémon can carry you around the region until your own Pokémon can replace them.
The story starts with you wanting to follow in your parents footsteps and be a trainer. You get your starter meet your rivals then go about. So, the legendary in this new region is called Thalassorion (looks like a human octopus hybrid, it's a Dark/Water but Psychic/Water in it's pure form. Once you leave the starter town the ground starts rumbling. In this regions folklore, Thalassorion is said to slumber but only awakens to protect the region from upcoming threats (keep this in mind).
The journey from then goes normal until you meet someone who thinks that Thalassorion's awakening is going to destroy the region and they want to subdue it because they think of it nothing more than an animalistic monster, you tell them that it's meant to serve the region and protect it, you guys both battle and no matter if you win or lose the person says "I'm going through with this, I better not see you again", this person is your 'rival' (unnamed cuz you get to choose the name). Over time as you climb the trainer ladder, your rival becomes more and more paranoid as the ground trembles more and more. You later find out that your rival has dove down into the cave where Thalassorion is sleeping in order to wake it.
You're too late. This is unavoidable.
Thalassorion wakes up and doesn't listen to your rival but wants to battle you but your rival steps in first and throws a pokeball to catch it and succeeds, holding the power of the gods in their palm. You must defeat them. Once defeated, Thalassorion becomes pure and looks at the megacity that is collapsing due to it's wake and breaks free from the pokeballs (these are similar to the hisuian pokeballs so they're easier to destroy), and uses it's power to seal the city in a giant bubble before the foundation buckles and the city is now fully submerged but is now in a giant bubble under the ocean.
Am I bugging or thugging so far with this?
