    Cool!

    I'll update when I have characters and run them by you to see if they work!

    So I have three ideas, but one of them may not be usable but I'm working on fixing her

    All three of them are foreigners and two of them are the same cause but different personalities

    Cassian: He's a secret agent from Galar and he's infiltrating the evil organization. I don't know if we're going with Galaxy, making one up, or if there isn't one at all. Just sharing my character. His partner is an Amped Form Toxtricity. He is good at fitting in with evil organizations since he's comfortable acting bad, playing dirty, and making deals to get what he wants. He's very arrogant and often causes problems. He just fits right in with the people he's tricking.

    Obsidian: Probably a weird name for a character, so that could be his code name or something. Anyways, same as the guy above, he's here to sneak into and shut down the villain organization, however he's from Paldea. His partner is a Ceruledge. He's logical and straight to the point. He does what it takes to get the job done. He'll seem emotionless and often rude, but that's just his personality. He's actually caring on the inside.

    Jasmine: This is the one I'm working on to make her usable. I'll explain why I think she's not okay in a second. First I want to explain her. She comes from a wealthy family in Paldea and is destined to own their company. However, she's been repressed her whole life, having to act a certain way and present herself as nice and innocent. She has no control over her life and is forced to be someone she's not. She ran away to Sinnoh with her partner Diamond, a Shiny Ceruledge. Her role in the story is she becomes the main villain that maybe the other characters group up to defeat. Her becoming the villain is part of my worries.

    So here's why I'm concerned about using Jasmine. I don't know if you remember from the Sun/Moon series but Guzma's Golisopod holds down a Primarina and continuously uses Poison Jab until Primarina is literally unable to battle. Well that's what this is like. Jasmine is trying to get into a gang and the guy won't let her in. He agrees to let her if she beats him in battle. Well after knocking his Lucario to the ground, she continues to use Night Slash. After finally stopping, the guy allows her in. As she enters she says the lines "Good. I didn't want to have to finish that" and "Better get Lucario to a Pokémon Center. It doesn't have much longer." I don't know how bad those are so I've been thinking of alternatives and I found one that should be okay. She still uses Night Slash when it's down, but it's not relentlessly. Just once. However, Ceruledge does stand over it and keep a blade pointed at it. That's not overly aggressive but keeps the point that she's cruel. I would keep the "didn't want to finish this" line because I think it's pretty vague and not enough to be considered explicit or bad. I'd leave out the Pokémon Center part because I think that's pushing things.

    The next chapter for Jasmine it shows that she turned the small gang she battled to to enter into a full on criminal organization and she's the leader. She is considered heartless and cruel and is feared by all. The whole reason she does this is for total control, the one thing she never had in her entire life.

    If you want, I can put one or both versions in the comments and you can determine how bad it is or I can just scrap her and use one of the guys.

    I think you should choose a different name for Jasmine, since that's the name of the Steel type Gym Leader in Johto.

    Ok

    What about Hermosa or Preciosa?

    The first one is a Spanish name for beautiful and the other gorgeous

    Paldea being based on Spain is why I specifically chose ones with Spanish origin

    It can continue to signify the amount of pressure and expectations put on her by her parents to be perfect

    To be honest I am not a big fan of all of these characters, maybe for a character you can make one similar to Mine from the Like a Dragon series or make something you think will work.

    Whoop! I got another one.
    Addison: An rascal of a girl who uses poison Pokémon, mainly a Salazzle. She's annoying often but also always manages to get herself in the favorable situation for her. She's creepy sometimes as well and occasionally manages to flirt her way into just about anything.

    No clue what "Like a Dragon" is, but it's hard to say what will work when I don't have any plot or story to try to fit them in to

    I don't just think of a character by itself

    When trying to make a character I go based off of their reasons, plot, back story, etc

    So by not having anything my brain ends up making something

    I'll keep thinking, but I don't know what will work until we get another person and start making the story
