In most MMOs, you can have one or two pets at a time. In City of Heroes, Mastermind characters can have 6 or 7. Hey wouldn't you know it that's just enough for a pokemon team wouldn't that be a neat proof of concept. Also there's flying built into the game, and you can teleport and run really fast so like, just animate your character hopping on one of your pokemon's back and you've got travel powers or whatever. I don't play Pokemon very much hehe but I like the aesthetics. https://wiki.ourodev.com/Volume_2_Build instead of abilities on your action bar, you'd have movement commands for each individual pokemon.
