I would SO buy it! Now what system would you use? A standard D20 system like D&D, or go like 7th Sea with exploding D10's? Oh! Or Amber dies less?!

And then the character sheet, I understand the trainer will have a condensed sheet like 4ED D&D. And then for each pokemon the trainer owns, will it act like a summoned creature for casters? I can imagine the 'Pokemon monster manual' being really similar to the D&D monster manual. I'm sure 4ED would be perfect to model it after, since it's so heavy in the battling side of it vs. 3.5 that was very 'role playing' heavy.

Sorry! I am so showing my nerdy colors here. Both my husband and I are huge role players. My husband more than I but I've had my experiences. D&D 3.5 and 4th ED, 7TH seas, Star Wars, and some White Wolf. I would be awesome if it were real!
