Edit: What do you mean by tone of the game? This campaign specifically or the tone of PTA?
The tone of this campaign specifically, though I guess this one is looking like a bunch of coordinators / breeders so far. Especially since I sort of also want to be a Breeder.
The other campaigns can be super thwarting-evil or whatever. We'll be winning contests, breeding awesome pocket monsters, and generally rolling in cash moneys.
I'm considering the following 'mons, because they're generally awesome:
-Murkrow (Ace Trainer choice)
-Swinub (Cute, and an Ice type!)
-Mareep (Cute! Also, I love the shepherd-theme with breeders.)
A game full of breeders and coordinators is just fine, though I'm having difficulty locating how a Contest is actually played out in PTA...like, I'm not even sure if the creator ever got around to making the rules.
Lucedes, you can get your Pokemon however you want. Though yeah, I'll deal with the starting moves.
Also, I'm not sure how much about the "tone" of the campaign I should give away, whether I should give any advice/hints about builds or future applicants, etc.

Pretty good. Is there any backstory at all, might I ask? Like, where she got her Whimsur, a little about herself? Just a bit of fleshing out of the character?
Emelia's a very laid-back pokemon trainer, though she loves encouraging her pokemon to grow to their full potential. Her mother works as a pokemon breeder, while her father runs a successful small business selling specialty pokemon grooming implements. The two have a small pokemon ranch, which Emelia grew up working on. She's a little too short for a lot of the heavy labor, but she worked hard and diligently, picking up a lot of her mother's pokemon breeding wisdom and her father's honest, straight-forward sales approach. At the age of fourteen, her mother decided to give her an egg from her own breeding stock, and Emelia carefully warmed it for days! Emelia and her Mareep, The Fuzz, have been an inseperable team since that day, going everywhere together.
The Guardian's Festival is a great chance to sell some specialized grooming implements, as well as get out and see some of the world. Her parents urged her to go out and attend the festival, but both needed to stay at the ranch to work on their own projects. With her pokegear, The Fuzz, a useful knife, and a satchel of oddly-shaped grooming tools, she heads to the nearest festival, at Lake Verity.
Emelia's sort of thin, with reddish-brown shoulder-length hair, and usually wears a green tunic with blue jeans. She also has a green bandana with a white paisley design on it. She's kind of clumsy, but pretty strong and healthy for her size.
Features
Egg Factory: Breeder Feature
Static
Target: Eggs in the possession of the Breeder.
Effect: You may make up to 7 different Breeding Checks per day; the check for Breeding is 35 instead of 25; and when making Breeding Checks, your rolls are not penalized if your Pokemon spend less then 12 hours together. Your Pokemon must still have at least 8 hours together.
Natural Edge: Breeder Feature
Daily
Target: A hatching egg.
Effect: Add half of your CHA modifier to any of the pokemon’s base stat and add half of your WIS modifier to any different base stat of the same pokemon. This becomes your pokemon’s new base stats.
Short Blade Weapons User: Arms Feature
Gifted To: Breeder or Coordinator or Martial Artist
Prerequisites: 16 CHA
Effect: The Trainer can use Knives, Daggers, a bladed weapon less than a foot long or any other Weapon that would fit into the Short Blade Weapons category. These weapons deal 1d6 + CHA modifier.
Starter Pokemon: Mareep, "The Fuzz" (Male / Calm)
The Fuzz is an exceptionally long-haired Mareep; one might go so far as to say shaggy. He's cute, and very calm, almost zen. Once, Emelia tie-dyed his fur, and he didn't object very much. The Fuzz doesn't really make a huge effort to do anything unless it's a real emergency. All that wool provides an extra defensive edge, but cushions any attacks he makes.

That is an absolutely great name for a Mareep, Lucedes. Nice to see you did all the stat work for your starter, too...the move-list is a little thin, but that's not an issue at this moment.
Also, The Fuzz doesn't actually have any moves that use special attack, so he's pretty much stuck using Tackle for five levels with an Attack of 2.
That's the kind of situation where you start begging the DM for an egg move, but really 5 levels isn't that bad. That's probably like only a couple encounters, depending on how stingy the DM is
Name: Arden Drake
Age: 26
Gender: Male
Origin: Kanto
Background
"Don't worry, we'll get there eventually..."
Arden had a simple, uneventful, upbringing. He spent most of his time away from home travelling the Kanto region with his father, Bill, a Ranger. Helping travellers get from place to place, and sometimes getting them out of trouble. For years Arden stayed at his fathers side, often straying into the wild to find a random pokemon to play with. Bill's oldest Pokemon, a Snorlax called "Old man" would always be sent to keep him safe. it was a good and easy life.
Unfortunetly, his father simply got too old to continue his long treks across the region and decided to stay home with Ardens mother, a Pokemon Breeder.
This simply wouldn't do!
Arden decided to set out on his own. With some final advice from his father, and a young Munchlax from his mother, Arden boarded a ship in Vermilion City which was heading to the Sinnoh region. Rumor has it there is big event happening there. Should be worth a look.
-
Arden has short dark blond hair and a seemingly constant 5 o'clock shadow. He is usually wearing comfortable hiking gear.
-
He is very layed back and generally prefers the company of Pokemon to people. When not traveling some place he is often seen relaxing under a tree somewhere with "Tiny". Often perceived as a slacker, he is always ready to help someone in need.
Effect: Once you successfully Restrain a pokemon, you may give it the Helpful title. Until this ally is attacked, severely distracted, or has helped the Ranger in a significant manner once it is under the Ranger’s control. You do not get a complete list of the Helpful’s attacks, and it cannot be taken from the area you found it in or it will run away. You may only give the Helpful title to one Pokemon at a time.
Companion: Ranger Feature
Static
Trigger: You restrain a wild with the Styler.
Effect: Once you successfully Restrain a pokemon, you may give it the Companion title. You may only have one Companion at a time. If you give a new pokemon the Compainion title, you free the other pokemon and replace it with your new Companion. To make the wild a Companion you must sacrifice half an hour upon giving it the Companion title to bond with the wild. The Companion gains experience and levels exactly like a Captured pokemon.

"Winning isn't everything... it's just the most important thing."
Elle is the trainer's trainer. She attained her Pokemon Trainer's License a year early at 17 using a technicality. With the help of her first Pokemon, Crybaby, she passed the preliminary tests with flying colors and began planning her rise to Sinnoh Champion. Three days after receiving her Pokedex and a set of Pokeballs she took Crybaby on a journey into the wilds in a hunt for her first quarry.
Returning home a changed girl, Elle handed off Crybaby to her younger sister, Hannah, claiming 'I don't need that thing anymore.' Now she spends every other day training with her new partner, Bruce, the aggressive and loyal Pokemon she found on that journey, preparing for the day when all of the regions accept and acknowledge her prowess.
Description: Elle is a young woman who wears a jacket over a T-shirt and cutoff denim shorts. She has long wavy blonde hair and green eyes, and though she is quite pretty, people tend to be turned off by her intense focus and ambition.

An intelligent, but withdrawn, teen, Zee's Torchic, Celsius, was an attempt by his parents to give their son a healthy, positive role-model. When he happily introduced the small fire type to piercings and eyeshadow, and it started getting him to buy it cigarettes, they began to seriously question their choice but by then it was far too late to separate the two. Not wanting Celsius' attitude to rub off onto any of their own award-winning contest Pokemon, Zee's parents were relieved when he showed an interest in leaving home on a Pokemon journey.
Zee would describe himself as a "coordinator", nearly everyone else in the world would describe him as a "terrible coordinator", the judges in any given contest would simply say "oh no, oh no no no not him, please no".
This is because Zee brings to his contest-goings a focus, intensity, and drive that would be the envy of any other Pokemon Trainer. The problem is that he and his Pokemon are... well... awful.
When he sends out his curiously deep-voiced and antagonistic Torchic at a "Cute" contest, Judges assume he is making a mockery of the whole institution. He, however, seems to take the whole thing dead seriously, even managing to receive the attention of a few "fans" who ironically enjoy just how spectacularly he manages to lose, despite his admirable technical skill and detailed knowledge about both contests and Pokemon.
To his credit, Zee maintains a cheerful outlook. One day he'll find a contest with less close-minded judges, or maybe "creepy" will become a contest type. Until then he continues onward, conscientiously updating his surprisingly informative coordinating blog with his sketches and experiences in the field.

An intelligent, but withdrawn, teen, Zee's Torchic, Celsius, was an attempt by his parents to give their son a healthy, positive role-model. When he happily introduced the small fire type to piercings and eyeshadow, and it started getting him to buy it cigarettes, they began to seriously question their choice but by then it was far too late to separate the two. Not wanting Celsius' attitude to rub off onto any of their own award-winning contest Pokemon, Zee's parents were relieved when he showed an interest in leaving home on a Pokemon journey.
Zee would describe himself as a "coordinator", nearly everyone else in the world would describe him as a "terrible coordinator", the judges in any given contest would simply say "oh no, oh no no no not him, please no".
This is because Zee brings to his contest-goings a focus, intensity, and drive that would be the envy of any other Pokemon Trainer. The problem is that he and his Pokemon are... well... awful.
When he sends out his curiously deep-voiced and antagonistic Torchic at a "Cute" contest, Judges assume he is making a mockery of the whole institution. He, however, seems to take the whole thing dead seriously, even managing to receive the attention of a few "fans" who ironically enjoy just how spectacularly he manages to lose, despite his admirable technical skill and detailed knowledge about both contests and Pokemon.
To his credit, Zee maintains a cheerful outlook. One day he'll find a contest with less close-minded judges, or maybe "creepy" will become a contest type. Until then he continues onward, conscientiously updating his surprisingly informative coordinating blog with his sketches and experiences in the field.
