Pokemon is generally not my first thought when I consider mature/deep story telling.
And yet I kind of crave it, not so much on the swearing/violence/other adult things front. (some characters do swear but not often) More so on the more 'meat on the bone' front. If that makes sense? Narratively I'd like to write something similar, but more for adults maybe in my same age range, rather than the usual crowd.
Pokemon stories are often Simple, and I'd like to keep my story simple too, just have it be a bit more mature. Without resorting to the cliches of so, so many fan games.
The Biggest hitch I have encountered while crafting my Original Region is making my Gym Leaders have interesting roles while not overstepping their 'boundries' much. For the uninitiated, Gym Leaders are characters who are more like Road Blocks you encounter once or twice, you battle them, and then never see them again unless you go back to their Gym and Greet them. They tend to be 'one note' but can have a lot of charm or can be annoying to deal with. Same with the Elite Four and Champion although those trainers do tend to have a stronger story presence than the gym leaders.
