The next thing we need to clear up is how much this roleplay will stick true to Pokemon and Mystery Dungeon mechanics. Preparation of items and such might just be a hassle for you guys, and battles might be more interesting if they're freestyle (albiet with moves) rather than Pokemon's attack system. At the same time, stats could also be confusing for some to handle, but they could also add some depth to each character. Though, if we do go this route I'll have to balance the characters out and such.

I still think items would exist, though, but we also need to decide whether they'll be based on Sky's items, on Super Mystery Dungeon's, on the main game's items, or a mix.
