Pokémon Link is a newly released MMORPG that has quickly become the most popular online game with over 30 million players. Instead of being a Pokémon trainer though, you play as the Pokémon. Well, kind of. Players have to go through an extensive registration process, and at the end of it all the game decides your Pokémon for you. Your human character then links with the chosen Pokémon.
Once formed, players cannot break the link between their chosen Pokémon and themselves. Currently, you cannot link with another Pokémon. Legendaries cannot be linked with. The linking process is a mystery, but Pokémon that are considered rare are rarely linked as well (This includes Shiny Pokémon.).
Players gain new moves as you level up, just like Pokémon. You can also find TMs scattered throughout the game to use. HMs do not exist in this game. The ability to delete moves and relearn them exists. Evolution and Mega Evolution is possible.
You cannot catch Pokémon in this game, though they still exist in this MMORPG's setting. Lots of Pokémon are seen in their habitat and other environments to interact and play mini-games with. They don't fight, but they can help you! You might see abra at teleporting stations or pidgeot that you can ride to reach somewhere quicker. Be careful though, as there are some Pokémon that are used in the game as traps.
Players cannot engage in battles with other players or NPCs just anywhere, you can only fight in the wilderness areas or battle arenas. There are multiple kinds of servers, each based on the actual regions from the Pokémon game. The cities in Pokémon Link are made to mimic the cities in the regular games exactly. The goal of the game is still to beat Gym Leaders and The Elite Four from all these regions.
Game moderators and administrators are present to ensure the rules and regulations of Pokémon Link are being followed. Players can create and join guilds, and that comes with its own set of features.
Recently, Pokémon Link has been involved in a big controversy in the gaming community. A notorious group of hackers, going by MissingNo., have been stealing other player accounts. They have successfully fused these stolen accounts with their own and can switch between their many links at any given time. This is absolutely not allowed, and anyone caught doing so will have their accounts permanently banned. Stolen accounts' appearances cannot be changed, so that is one way to catch a hacker.
If that wasn't bad enough, rumors are that a few members of this group have somehow obtained legendaries from the game's database and are able to link with them. This is big news because the game makers have always been against legendary links.

Thank you for reading all of that! I know it was a lot of information. I actually came up with this concept a long time ago, but unfortunately I didn't have enough people interested in it at the time. I decided to bring it back because I really like the setting. I hope you guys like it!
I think with a big setting like this, group effort is a must. Please talk to me about how the story should progress, and just kind of bounce ideas off of each other about anything really. I was wondering how many moves should a player know. Should they know four? more than four? unlimited? Tell me what you think!
I'm also still figuring out how Mega Evolution is going to work here, since I made this when that wasn't a thing.
*We will be using Pokémon gijinka or humanized Pokémon for our appearances.
Lastly, grammar and clarity are very important to me, so please keep that in mind!
