Creating Play
Here are some ideas when writing for players:
In order to create play, you need to know what play
looks like. For players, and not GMs, play looks like this… For storytellers who want to explore the plot and people
of the world you create…
- Build a character you want to play. - Incorporate their origins into the world and if you

being intentionally disruptive to gameplay.
For puzzle-solving players who like to resolve obstacles
For game master’s gameplay looks more like this… with their wit…
- Build a world for your players to play in using - Create rooms with solutions that are not strictly

- Inform players of the world so their characters fit - Reward players who plan ahead of upcoming

you want to write, that’s great! Go for it and have fun, but if
you’re struggling consider your players to know what you
should be writing.
A good way to write scenarios that you know you players
will enjoy, consider the many different kinds of players in
tabletop gaming. Some players are explorers, some are
combatants, other enjoy solving puzzles, telling their own
character’s story within the scenarios you’ll create, or some
who just like to make things happen.

The World of Pokémon Most people respect and love Pokémon, but there are
many who hate Pokémon, do not treat them as anything
In most Pokémon canon, the world of Pokémon is physi- more than tools, or simply exploit them for personal gain
and dominance. There are law enforcement agencies

advancements. Many real-world places have Pokémon world equiva-
lents, but very rarely have the same name. Regions replace
a country’s states or even entire countries, sometimes. For
example, the Kalos region coincides almost perfectly with
the country of France. The Alola region on the other hand is
the equivalent of Hawaii, a state located in the middle of
the ocean.

In the following section, the world of Pokémon will be

fleshed out so you may build your sessions within general
things that many people who are not new to Pokémon
might expect to be able to find. If these things are not avail-
able, communicate that with your players.
The world you sculpt is ultimately yours to define, so if
you find your players saying, “we’ll go call a PokéRide to our
destination,” when there are no PokéRide services where
they are, just inform them. At the same time, if a player
makes an assumption about the world that isn’t unreason-
able, like looking for a move tutor in a small rural village,
you can just whip one up and make them have a limited
amount of moves they are teaching.

Even natural mountain ranges in the real world like the

Ezo Mountain Chain in Hokkaido have Pokémon world
equivalents, in this case Mt. Coronet. This means that while
players cannot necessarily visit London, Wyndon exists and
has many great places to see. One thing to note however is
that unlike the real world, much more space on a map is
claimed by the wilds. Wild Pokémon do not really allow
highways to be built through their homes, even railroads
are destroyed by wilds who wish to maintain their space as
they see fit. The world of Pokémon therefore is a little less
connected through conventional travel, unless you’re using
Pokémon to get from place to place.

History At some point, Pokémon were able to be captured
through ritual, sealing them into relics. Some were staffs,

pects of reality, more and more of the world came to be. The modernization of Pokémon training, beginning with
the first Poké Balls, rapidly advanced technology around
the world. While energy is so plentiful it’s free almost every-
where and scientific advancements in the medical field, war
is almost non-existent in the modern Pokémon world.
Still, the world’s population rises and begins to strain
resources, the world gets warmer and affects Pokémon
habitats worldwide, and individuals who put themselves
before the whole world aim to conquer what they see as
weak. The Pokémon world is not without strife and strug-
gle. By setting your campaign in a more medieval time, you
could have adventures without the modern Poké Ball. You
could play through the conquest of Japan during Nobuna-
ga’s campaign. You could even play in a future where travel
between dimensions is not commonplace and many new
Pokémon training opportunities exist.

Humans
Humans in the Pokémon world are very similar to… hu-
mans. The relationship between your player’s human
trainers and their partner Pokémon will be the center of
your campaign. Humans in the Pokémon world are a little
more hardy than humans in the real world. While an elec-
trocution will often leave a real person permanently affect-
ed, if not outright killed, in the Pokémon world a trip to a
hospital will fix them within hours. A broken bone that
might leave someone in a wheelchair for months might
have someone in the Pokémon world in crutches for a
week at most.
The most obvious difference however is the innate hu-
man abilities of psionic telepathy, telekinesis, or other vari-
ous forms of spontaneous elemental creation. While not
every human actively displays this power, it comes out in
strange passive ways– such as how most Pokémon species
seemingly just understand human speech regardless of the
language being spoken. In addition, through rigorous train-
ing there are humans who develop their toughness enough

 Inherent to Pokémon are several fantastic powers not
demonstrated by real-world animals, such as the manipula-
tion of electricity or fire. Pokémon exist instead of real-
world animals in the Pokémon world. Many Pokémon are
able to evolve from or into other Pokémon, a process that
typically makes them larger and stronger, and more closely
resembles growth and development or metamorphosis
rather than evolution in the real world. Pokémon typically
know several techniques that they can use in battle or else-
where, either to defend themselves or their Trainer, or to
perform a task.

other humans, and some who wish to enjoy luxuries in life
without direct subjugation, instead ruling with fear and
mayhem. In most canon lore, humans create the problems
that other humans solve together with Pokémon.

Pokémon
From the beginning, Pokémon have been friends and
partners to the humans of the Pokémon world, helping
them with various tasks from constructing buildings to ex-
ploration to farming to peaceful coexistence. Many people
in the Pokémon world take Pokémon with them on
a journey to compete in the various Pokémon
Leagues as trainers, using them in battles against Pokémon
both owned by other trainers and found in the wild. In ad-
dition, there are many different tournaments in which
Trainers can compete together with their Pokémon, such
as Pokémon Contests and the Pokéathlon.

Pokémon choose their human trainers just as much a

trainer chooses their Pokémon. Their trust and aligned
goals meld together to become bonds that are unlike any
found in humans and animals in the real world. As a Game
Master, you want to try and encourage these bonds in mo-
ments of roleplay. Tell you players that their Pokémon

phant next to their trainers in victory.

who research Pokémon and Pokémon phenomena. There
are individuals that organize events and manage the organ-
ization at an executive office, others who deal with the
league’s finances all of the various facilities located
throughout the regions, and league members who serve as
the Elite 4, as Gym Leaders, or as various other referees,
and gym support staff.
The Pokémon League is a international organization,
and while individual regions may have slightly different
rules concerning how their Pokémon Centers are run, or
how many Pokémon you can carry around at a time, there
are some basic rules that are consistent throughout the
world.

of ultra wormholes. Both groups are sometimes consid-
ered legendary because of the lack of information regard-

there isn’t much information regarding them unlike other
legendary Pokémon who have centuries of legends and
lore about them.

auras, telepathic powers, and even elemental forces. There
is no evidence that people must be born as a psychic in
order to manipulate the world around them which suggests
that anyone has the biological potential to tap into their
innate supernatural human abilities.
The reason humans can do this is handwavy as well, but
there are many ways to do it. You could summon forth the
inner fire from your heart, or empty your mind of superflu-
ous waste that gets in the way of your innate powers, or
just get really angry at something. There are hundreds of
ways to make it happen.
It is believed that in a time long past, humans and Poké-
mon were not very different. This could explain the innate,
often inactive abilities humans have, but for whatever rea-
son, humans do not evolve like so many Pokémon and they
also quickly developed tools and technologies that made
them the dominant species. There’s more technology that is used everyday, too.
Short-range teleportation is possible and even used in plac-
es of business at times. Objects as large as motorcycles
have also been made to seemingly appear and disappear
with handheld devices for compact use and carry. Clean
limitless energy is available in most regions. Hologram
communication is a handheld convenience. Scientists can
reanimate long-extinct Pokémon by extracting information
from their fossils. With small objects like the Poké Ball, even
worldwide teleportation is possible.
It’s no wonder the Pokémon world is relatively peaceful
when everyone has access to clean water and plentiful
food, there is unlimited energy everywhere, and with the
help of Pokémon, living spaces are readily made in no time.
This is also why so many careers have to do with Pokémon.
Without Pokémon, so many of these things would not be
possible.

Pokémon Centers
Pokémon Centers exist to heal Pokémon. They have in-
credible technology that can restore a Pokémon's health
and cure it of all afflictions while the Pokémon are still in
their Poké Balls. Many regions in the world don’t even
charge a fee to restore Pokémon to health!

Many Poké Marts also double as supermarkets that have

food and goods for your home, or on the go. These larger
Poké Marts also will have kits and other trainer pack bun-
dles. Larger department stores will have even more op-
tions, from clothes, to tools, or even various tech you might
need on the road, or just in your home office. As the GM,
you don’t need to provide every item in every Poké Mart.
Pokémon Centers are also equipped to heal Pokémon
who are not in their Poke Balls. Doctors and nurses will
work as long as it takes to heal your Pokémon, though it
only takes a couple of minutes if the Pokémon is within its
Poké Balls. In larger cities, Pokémon Centers also double as
hospitals. In smaller towns, Pokémon Centers are usually
separate from any medical centers that would work on
healing humans.
Like Pokémon centers, many hospitals will also work to
heal those who need it. Some regions do have bills, howev-

they are primarily tasked with protecting the Pokémon

For this reason, sometimes it’s better to just tell a police
officer. Luckily, police stations are often connected directly
to ranger stations in larger cities since the two organiza-
tions often work together to protect everyone that they
can. You should have a Ranger Captain in mind for your

tack their trainers or allies, instead choosing a kind of civil

Loyalty matters not only for roleplaying with Pokémon,
but also for Pokémon evolution. For this reason, keep track
of your players’ Pokémon’s loyalties on a sheet. The follow-
ing section will show what to look for in order to grant high-
er loyalties and eventually, evolution.

taining the relationship with their Pokémon.

*** A Pokémon should not have its loyalty lowered unless a

trainer is abusing their Pokémon or repeatedly feeding it bitter
medicines and foods. A trainer who is apologizing for mistakes
should not be punished unless they continue to put their Poké-
mon in danger. In this case you might suggest that a Pokémon
is unhappy with a description of the Pokémon’s behavior and
that will hopefully curb continued abuse.

potentially bypass any investigative questioning of locals or

insight skill checks can be used to determine a winner.
Diplomacy / Persuasion
Using flowery words and gracious language and flattery
is sometimes all your players needs to get what they need
out of one of your NPCs. If players are trying to convince an
NPC to help them, or tell them what’s in their best interest,
they’ll need to make a diplomacy or persuasion skill check.
Task Difficulty Example

session- play shouldn’t stop because of downtime. It
should be a note as the next day starts or as players are
waiting for a specific time, for example a player might have
a contest they’re participating in at noon, but in game it’s
only 6:00 AM. They might say, “while we’re waiting for the
contest to start, I spend time grooming my Quilava and
then fix the broken Poké Balls from yesterday.”

You should decide with your players in advance what

players will do if a session ends on a cliffhanger, or when
the players are otherwise under significant time pressure
and downtime isn’t appropriate - either by skipping the
downtime you would have had, or having it retroactively be
added as a past scene.

Quality Time
Spending quality time with a specific Pokémon helps to
form meaningful bonds. When your players are specifying
how much time they are spending with their Pokémon, you
can use that time to potentially raise their Pokémon’s loyal-
ties to them. Aim to have them spend these minimums to
raise loyalty on your end.

Loyalty Value Downtime Commitment

Class Features and Downtime: Loyalty 0 to Loyalty 1 10+ hours

Original Downtime by Mackenzie

If there was a particularly bad way in which a Pokémon

came to be owned by a trainer, feel free to extend the loy-
alty 0 to loyalty 1 to 20+ hours. While individual events dur-
ing play could also cross these loyalty thresholds for your
notes as well, this is one way players may shorten the extra
roleplaying you might have to see for their Pokémon to
raise loyalty otherwise.

Each time players work on a long-term project, you may

ask them to make relevant skill checks to see how produc-
tive they’ve been. If someone is helping your trainers out,
even a Pokémon with relevant skills, they could add extra
bonus checks to the check per your decision. A fresh per-
spective or new set of eyes may be helpful, so your players
roping in allies or acquaintances may be helpful to their
endeavor. Have an idea of how much time you’d like them
to put towards a project. That amount of time can be pri-
vate if you’d like, but a trainer building a car from spare
parts would have a good idea of how much longer it’d take
them to finish their project while a trainer inventing a new
move with their Pokémon may never know how much long-
er until they succeed until they do.
Original Downtime by Mackenzie

Players will be looking for your guidance for a long-term

downtime project. Work with them and try to say “yes” to
their goals, even if you decide it’ll take over 500 hours of
downtime to complete their long-term project (taking off
extra hours for good skill checks).

Evolution and is well liked for
his own battle prowess by the
league. He has a massive
laboratory in Lumiose City where
he studies Mega Evolution in action in his in-house battle-
fields. He even has a lab that is used to create artificial
mega stones. Sycamore is a determined researcher who
follows any trail of information to its end.
Sycamore loves to distribute starters ever year for the
league and inspires a love of Mega Evolution with demon-
strations during seminars leading up to distribution day.
This can sometimes be a problem, as Mega Evolution
stones and rings are not exactly easy to come by. The pro-
fessor holds his event in Aquacorde Town as it’s a much
less busy location for thousands of trainers to flock to a
year- it’d be a mess in Lumiose where his lab is. He’s always
happy to help those in need when he can, so he ends up
spending some time in Aquacorde every year to set up and
stick around for new trainers who are choosing starters.

When found, he’ll often judge whether or not he’ll accept a

Wulfric battles aggressively to the point when he even

be achieved if the trainer really trusts his Pokémon. He

Creating Pokémon
As the Game Master, you have the power to create your
own Pokémon. You will choose how they look, what moves
they may know, they could even have an elemental type
unique to the campaign you run. When deciding to create
your own Pokémon, it can be difficult to assign stats, so
consider using a stat block, typing, and move proficiencies
already in the Pokédex. While not all Pokémon are built
equal, the Pokémon in the Pokédex at least work within
Pokémon Tabletop Adventures system.
If you are going to create your own stat block, consider
the total amount of stats distributed across various Poké-
mon within the Pokédex. While looking at HP in the
Pokédex, divide its value by six in order to determine its
approximate value in comparison to other stats.
Consider proficiencies, passives, and starting moves as
well and what kinds of evolutions it might experience. Take
a look through move lists in the PHB to see what might
make for a fun Pokémon. You should avoid creating invul-
nerable Pokémon, so be sensible when making Pokémon
unless you’re aiming for creating an Arceus-like threat for
your players.

If you are importing Pokémon from a fan made game, or

even another franchise entirely, it’s quite easy to do so.
Divide each Pokémon stat by ten and round down to get
the new Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense,
and Speed of the Pokémon. You can then multiply the di-
vided-by-ten HP stat by 6 to get its new value. If you’re im-
porting a Yokai, Digimon, or anything without the six Poké-
mon stats to use as a Pokémon in PTA3, just try to approxi-
mate the stats as closely as possible.

 It is said that when an Articuno and Moltres combines
their powers of ice and fire, they are the source and cradle
of the nearby oceans, and that a Zapdos with its electric
energy creates the currents and streams. These three leg-
endary birds are closely bound to the guardian of the
ocean, Lugia. They hold a fierce rivalry between each other
and will bicker and infight until chaos in the sky is loosed
throughout the lands nearby. Lugia is said to rise from a
nearby sea and quell their fighting. The birds will return to
wherever they live if they are broken up during their
fighting.

Zapdos causes savage thunderstorms by flapping its glit-

tering wings. Zapdos flaps its wings, and summer storms
appear, throwing lightning every which way. It's said that
you can hear this legendary Pokémon coming, as its wings
make a very distinctive popping sound as it flies. In places
with droughts, it is a great blessing to have a Zapdos fly by
and bring a downpour with its lightnings storms. Zapdos
found in remote isles are famous for an aggressive nature
and its willingness to challenge any foe it believes to be
equal or even stronger than itself. With its shrunken wings,
these Zapdos are poor fliers, but it more than compensates
for this with its superior speed and strength. It uses its
blinding agility and powerful legs to dash and leap about
mountainous terrain and kick foes from all angles.

When Articuno flaps its wings, it can chill the moisture in

the air around it, making snow fall. It flies from icy moun-
tain to icy mountain. According to legend, it appears before
doomed travelers lost in icy regions. Articuno sometimes
aids travelers and guides them to safety. Articuno lives in
cold, isolated locations. Articuno are far more elusive when
in distant isolated isles. There, they strike both fear and
awe in the select few who manage to catch a glimpse it. It
wields powerful psychic energy to great effect. Articuno can
focus precise beams of its power from its eyes to complete-
ly immobilize foes. The ends of its feathers are actually
blades of condensed energy that are sharp enough to
shear steel; it prefers to use these to finish off weakened
opponents.

As tradition has it, the onset of spring heralds the return

of Moltres from its southern home. Its bright orange color
and fiery aspect lends to its overwhelming appearance. If
Moltres is injured, it returns to a volcano to heal its wings
with magma. It can turn the night sky red with every flap of
its wings creating a dazzling flare of flames. Black winged
Moltres are feared for their devilish aura. Though remote
isle Moltres leave no physical damage with their flames, its
aura spreads much like a flame and seems to burn away
the willpower and energy from all that it touches, leaving
them as listless husks. The intimidating aura it emits is so
strong that many Pokémon are physically unable to even
approach it.

 The three legendary beasts are said to embody the three Suicune has the power to walk across water and purify

these legendary beasts from harm whenever it can.

If you see a bolt of lightning flash across the ground in-

stead of from the sky, you may have just caught a glimpse
of a Raikou. If you hear a peal of thunder that lasts longer
than it should, that may be the roar of a Raikou. The rain
clouds it carries on its back let it fire thunderbolts. Some
stories claim that it descended with lightning.

Entei embodies the passion and complete dominance of

magma. In myth, it is said to have been born in the erup-
tion of a volcano. It sends up massive bursts of fire that
utterly consume all that they touch. It’s said that nearby
volcanoes erupt when it roars. Unable to contain its sheer
power, it races headlong around the land.

Tapu Lele is known to scatter glowing scales, which

touched at once. An old legend says that Tapu Lele ended a
war by healing the tired warriors with its scales. Its strength

 Landorus seems to live above the skies. It comes down
to quell the massive destruction the other Forces of Nature
commit when they get out of hand. Neither Thundurus nor
Tornadus become too destructive unless they meet and
begin to compete for the most destruction. At this point,
Landorus will descended to lay down its law. It will take on
its Therian form if necessary to pounce on and tear through
the destructive Forces of Nature. Landorus enjoys many
shrines built in its name and will kindly water fields of crops
for those who pay it homage.

Latias and Latios are sibling legendary Pokémon, always

paired with another. They serve as the guardians of Soul
Dew, a relic from an ancient time that empowers both of
them. Both, either through physical transformation or
through some kind of illusion are capable of temporarily
taking on the appearance of a human they’ve seen. They
are exceedingly fast, becoming blurs that jet by at near-
sonic speeds. Both are capable of using Mega Stones to
Mega Evolve. Instead of using the power made from a bond
with a trainer and their Pokémon, it is their reliance on
each other that can empower them to Mega Evolve without
the use of a Key Stone.

Known as a 'Herald’ and ’God’ of Spring, Enamorus flies

from the north at the end of winter, bringing life-giving
spring rains as it travels across the sea. It is said that this
rain and its unbounded love brought new growth to any
frozen region it visits. These spring rains were considered
by all to be the official end of winter. Enamorus is also said
to be temperamental when it came to the sanctity of life. If
it witnesses a living thing being desecrated, it will bring
down a wrathful storm onto the offenders as punishment.

 Long ago, Regigigas is said to have pulled the continents
into place, and then created the hundreds of titans from an
icy mountain, rocks, magma, and crystallized dragon energy
in its image. Regigigas was apparently worshiped at one
time, alongside the other legendary titans, by ancient peo-
ple. Due to it being so powerful, Regigigas was sealed away.
The many other titans were spirited away all over the
world.
Regirock is a titan that is made entirely of rocks and
boulders. If parts of its body chip off in battle, Regirock re-
pairs itself by adding new rocks. Supposedly, Regirock was
the first kind of titan Regigigas built.

Latias ruffles its feathers and cries loudly when there is

hostility toward it. Its glass-like, downy feathers can enfold
its body and refract light, which allows it to become invisi-
ble or alter its appearance. It is highly intelligent and is ca-
pable of using telepathy to communicate with others. Latias
has the ability to share what it sees with its sibling Latios. It
normally does not make contact with humans or other
Pokémon, and disappears when an enemy is nearby.

Regice wears an aura of terribly cold air. Small things will

hums the loudest with a near-constant high pitched safe should any rampage beyond control. They are elusive
screech as it continuously generates power within itself. Pokémon who are prone to fleeing and under most circum-
stances hate conflict.

Uxie is known as the origin of knowledge. People learned

to solve problems once it existed. It is said that if anyone
sees its eyes, their mind will be wiped clean.
Mesprit is known as the origin of emotion. People
learned joy and sorrow from it. It is said that if you touch
Mesprit, you will no longer feel emotion ever again.

Regidrago is a being that is made entirely of crystalized

draconic energy. It is thought that at one time, Regidrago
resembled an ancient Dragon Pokémon. Supposedly, the
powers of every Dragon-type Pokémon are held within
Regidrago and Regidrago is capable of releasing that draco-
nian power during battle.

Azelf is known as the origin of willpower. People learned

to act and do as they wished. It is said that if you harm
Azelf, you will turn into a statue, unable to move ever again.

Regigigas is a skilled craftsman. It created the legendary

titans out of inanimate objects and brought them to life.
Regigigas is also capable of controlling the titans, though
they have changed beyond their original design, so if any-
thing Regigigas can only really aim them. It can survive ex-
treme conditions as it is able to work with the boiling tem-
peratures of magma as well as frigid ice. When Regigigas is
disturbed from its slumber, it can sometimes go on a ram-
page, angry about being locked away for millennia.

 Glastrier has a coat of ice covering its face extremely
tough. It emits extreme cold from its hooves and possesses
incredible physical strength. Glastrier is noted to be an ag-
gressive Pokémon that forcefully takes resources. It was
also known to be very proud and arrogant, preferring to
serve those it deems the strongest. It is known as a mount
of Calyrex.

Calyrex is the "King of Bountiful Harvests." Calyrex brings

lush vegetation and harvests yearly. The right hand of
Calyrex can cause the land to be covered in verdant grass
and blooms. The left hand of Calyrex allows it to make the
fields of fruit ripe and heavy. Calyrex provides healing or
blessings and while it shows no mercy to those that stand
in its way, it will heal the wounds of a repentant foe after-
wards. Calyrex is powerful enough to move an entire forest
and its Pokémon to a new location. When united with one
of its mounts, Glastrier or Spectrier, Calyrex has its combat
prowess grow greatly so it may ward off any threats to its
land.

Spectrier traverses its surroundings without using its

sense of sight, as its single eye is normally closed. Its kicks
are said to separate a soul from its body, and it can feed on
the life force of sleeping beings. Spectrier is active during
the night, since it desires isolation and silence. Spectrier is
known to be very disdainful and conceited, preferring to
serve individuals it deems the strongest. It is also known as
a mount of Calyrex.

get to have unending nightmares, which can be stopped if
exposed to a Cresselia down feather. However, the un-
leashing of nightmares is actually a defense mechanism,
instead of an intentionally malicious act. It can become a
shadow and escape danger or contact with humans in
most cases, but will lash out when corners or when defend-

Darkrai does not only cause nightmares; it is also attracted
to them. When an evil force is causing nightmares it will
often consume the nightmares, sometimes curing an
afflicted person of a terrible curse.

Deoxys was formed by the mutation of a virus from

brain appears to be the crystal in its chest. That organ is

 According to legends, Zacian is believed to be the elder
sister of Zamazenta. It is known as the Fairy King's
Sword by friends and foes. She can turn itself into a statue
in order to slumber until need and is capable of flight. It can
also cast illusions including a projection of itself even when
asleep to protect its slumber. Zacian can attack so graceful-
ly the movements can captivate its opponents. The sword it
holds in its mouth can cut through anything with a sharp
edge capable of harming even the greatest threats as if
they are made of paper.

When together, the siblings can negate the power of

Eternatus, even in its Eternamax state. When reunited with
their sacred relics, an old ancient sword and shield, their
true power is revealed and they can stop power spots from
spreading havoc across the lands.

In legends, it is known as the Fighting Master's

Shield due to its ability to defect any attack. Zamazenta is
both feared and respected by all. By becoming a statue, it
can rest for eons and even while asleep, it can cast illusions
including a projection of itself. His regal and majestic move-
ments enable it to overwhelm opponents who he faces.
Zamazenta fends off the attacks of foes by using the golden
shield that covers its front. No battlefield, no matter how
terrible, can make Zamazenta flinch in its resolve. By bash-
ing the enemies with its full might, it is said that the power
can cause cracks in the land and that the resulting shock-
waves can lay waste to hundreds of enemies.

many times, it enters its cocoon stage, Cosmoem.

Known as the beast that calls the moon and its light, Lu-
nala has long been honored as an emissary of the moon.
Lunala constantly absorbs light to convert into energy and
can obscure daylight with darkness. When it spreads its
wings to absorb light and glitters, it resembles a beautiful
night sky. It is said to sometimes live in another world,
which it returns to when it opens its third eye. Lunala will
try to hide in other dimensions when pursued by the pillag-
er of light.

Incased in its sturdy, cocoon-like shell, Cosmoem seems

unable to move. Certainly, not by force as it weighs more
than two-thousand pounds. It grows as it absorbs starlight
and the dust in the air. Its body is warm to the touch. Cos-
moem shells are said to be harder than any known materi-

while seemingly remaining asleep.

while Yveltal expands its wings and steals all of the life en-
ergy of every living thing around it turning into a massive
cocoon. Zygarde has Cells that are always monitoring the
balance between Xerneas and Yveltal, and whenever it is
disrupted or destroyed, Zygarde reforms as a whole and
comes to unleash its wrath.

Some cells constantly remain together, in order to have

a better array of knowledge to monitor areas of destruc-
tion. In these larger forms, Zygarde may even go out and
seek offenders and end their harm to the balance of the
world.

Xerneas has the power to share nearly eternal life. When

is chooses to, it can give thousands of years to a person to
live out, usually to atone for something they have done.
Xerneas is a well of infinite power and at times seems to be
the source of life everywhere. Xerneas is one of two legend-
ary Pokémon who can power the ultimate weapon which
uses the power within Xerneas to wipe life out everywhere.

If Zygarde is able to, it will gather hundreds of its cells in

order to destroy whatever threat it meets. In this form, it
will attack in large sweeps indiscriminately to quell any dis-
ruptions to life’s balance– other than itself.

Yveltal has the power to absorb life energy by spreading

its wings and tailfeathers. When is chooses to, it can even
share thousands of years of life force with a person, usually
to punish them for something they have done. Yveltal is a
source of near infinite power as it collects energy from all
things that pass. Yveltal is one of two legendary Pokémon
who can power the ultimate weapon which uses the power
within Yveltal to wipe life out everywhere.

 Long ago before time and space existed, a being created
Palkia and Dialga. Palkia swung its arms around and creat-
ed space and movement. Dialga breathed in and roared
and time began to flow. The two clashed often but eventu-
ally retreated to spaces between worlds and remained in
their respective realms of space and time and did not often
interact with the Pokémon and humans in the world. After
the Pokémon world became populated, both Dialga and
Palkia emerged from their respective realms and clashed,
wreaking havoc across the lands. So, the greater being cre-
ated a negative space where the cuts in space and time
would be moved to and displaced, a distorted realm
watched over by Giratina. Giratina, who had existed as long
as Dialga and Palkia, would serve as a protector of this dis-
tortion realm and prevent the quarrels between Dialga and
Palkia from affecting the Pokémon world. Dialga can warp time by either speeding it up, slowing it
down, or stopping it altogether. It can also travel through
time to visit the past, present, and future and is responsible
for the flow of time. Dialga primarily resides in a private
pocket dimension, rarely ever coming to the Pokémon
world. It has been shown to be very protective of its home
and will violently clash with any intruders. In history, Dialga
has been seen in violent conflicts with its counter-
part Palkia. It may stop time to defend itself when combat-
ing a threat and with repeated rapid restriction of time, can
threaten existence itself. When at peace with space and
unified in mind with their creator, Dialga can return itself to
its original form which resembles its creator.
Palkia has the ability to warp space, though it is also said
it is responsible for creating alternate realities as well. The
space it controls can become more stable when Palkia ren-
ders it as finished. Palkia lives in a different dimension and
will go without coming to the Pokémon world for centuries
or millennia at a time. In history, Palkia has been seen in
violent conflicts with its counterpart Dialga. It is known to
be very protective of its home realm as well. When faced
with invaders, it will tear holes in reality and threaten exist-
ence itself. When at peace with time and unified in mind
with their creator, Palkia can return itself to its original form
which resembles its creator.

Giratina is responsible for making sure the feuds be-

tween Dialga and Palkia remain contained within the distor-
tion world. Giratina takes it charge very seriously and will
even forcefully attack either Palkia or Dialga when they are
clashing in the Pokémon world and drag them into the dis-
tortion world. Giratina has complete control of the distor-
tion world’s reality, both time and space, rendering Dialga
and Palkia vulnerable to the punishment of Giratina for
their quarrels. Giratina takes a haunting form in its own
world and a much more mentally palatable one when visit-
ing the Pokémon world.

other Pokémon can Dynamax or Gigantamax when near
it. Eternatus can remain Eternamaxed indefinitely. While
Eternamaxed, it is treated as a Dynamax Pokémon, but
may still use its non-Dynamax moves and is not restricted
in its movement.

 Arceus does not interact with the Pokémon world often
and it’s possible that its elsewhere in a parallel universe or
time. When angered it will appear and pass judgement on
those who have angered it by disrupting the balance of the
universe. It’s possible that the being who appears is not
even really Arceus, but just an aspect that materializes as
an avatar representing a small fraction of the full power of
Arceus.

According to legend, Arceus created everything from

nothing. Arceus shaped the Pokémon universe using its This theory has some ground behind it, as there are

mon world in ancient times and protected it from cata-
clysms such as meteors. Arceus would show gratitude and
compassion in return to those who treated it with equal
kindness. Arceus does not suffer fools. Arceus will attack in
a violent rampage if betrayed or deceived. It also holds long
grudges if betrayed by those it considered allies.

Arceus can also create more of any given legendary

Pokémon, presumably when one is killed or weakened
when captured by a human Poké Ball. It seems these recre-
ations contain the same mannerisms, knowledge, and ex-
perience as those of the detained or departed legendary
Pokémon.

Being a Game Master…
At the end of every session, you can ask yourself, “did I
have fun?” and, “did my players have fun?” By checking in,
you can tweak whatever rules you want to improve play for
everyone. Whatever you settle on, as long as you’re con-
sistent and fair, your players can rely on you and trust you
to lead play in a fun direction.
Everything in this guide and the other Pokémon Tab-
letop adventures guides are just that: guides. If your play-
ers will have more fun if legendary Pokémon are more
common, but not as powerful, go for it. If playing a Poké-
mon RéBURST campaign where trainers become anthropo-
morphized Pokémon is something you want to try, go for it.
If you want to recreate a time in history but with Pokémon,
go for it. If you want to run a game that is Pocket Monster
Hunter, Pocket Monster Rancher, or Digimon– just go for it!
The tools in this guide are to help and definitely are a
great baseline to use but once you get the hang of any tab-
letop game, you should explore what your play group
wants to play and hopefully, Pokémon Tabletop Adventures
will be a part of that journey.

 At its core, Pokémon Tabletop Adventures is about realizing your Pokémon
adventures that aren’t found in other Pokémon media. Part of this is making sure
everyone’s having fun. Tabletop offers an unlimited amount of experiences and
scenarios, but that doesn’t always mean any player will enjoy any given scenario.

Game Masters: Always make sure players know what kind of things to expect
in a campaign in terms of any less friendly themes and do a good job of stopping
poor player behavior that’s directly affecting other players’ ability to enjoy game-
play.

Players: Know what kind of game you’re getting into, try to make sure you’re
not stepping over any lines, and be aware of whether or not you’re making your-
self the center of attention. There are other players, including the GM, so it’s im-
portant to give everyone a voice and not cut off other players with too many in-
terruptions.

Whenever there’s any problem talk it out. Together, tabletop games can stay
fun and keep going. When players and game masters only treat each other as
opponents, sidekicks, or obstacles instead of treating each other as people, games
fall apart and end.

Happy 25th Anniversary, Pokémon

You made an amazing world to

play in, filled with creatures that we
all loved to raise up and be strong
with. We loved it so much that we
had to make a world where we could
play out any scenario with Pokémon
that we could possibly imagine.
Here’s to another 25 years!

- Dr. Mr. Stark
