Since I'm balancing myself between Gundam and Pokemon now
I'm restarting that old 'Hakumei Region' thing. And in doing so, restarting said Pokemon comic. I probably won't have it sprited since that limits what one would want to do. So it'll be drawn; with sprited comical interludes when I feel like it.
I'm still using the Shikoku Region as a base since I already have a map of it which I'm not going to abandon anytime soon and locations already- uh ooooh the locations are on my refusing to work External Hard Drive. But whatever. I'll do something about it.
Currently I only have the map and the region's first out of three main Trainers to present. The rest will come to you with time. With training.
tl;dr it isn't that long

--The Pokemon Hunters--

You saw right. Hunter.

--Other Individuals/Groups--This is not Dustin's actual Trainer sprite I was planning for him, but an experiment. It came off rather badly, so I'll try a new pose until I get it right. This isn't his 'official as of now' sprite.
Following his becoming Champion of the Yorai Pokemon League at 14 years old, Dustin set off on a journey to complete his Poke'Dex. As he traveled all around the world, he decided to make a stop in Vermilion City and visit Ex-Team Rocket Member Lt. Surge. He specifically requested that Surge train him in military methods and tactics. When Surge probed him for a reason, Dustin answered "to catch Pokemon that would otherwise be impossible to catch". With a smirk, Surge agreed to take Dustin on as his pupil.
A full year passed by, with Dustin completing his 'specialized' training. As a personal respect to his instructor, Dustin clothed himself in attire similar to Surge's own, and continued to wear the dogtags Surge had granted upon him on the first day of his tutelage. As the next few months flew by, his Poke'Dex was completed. As a Pokemon Master, he now travels the world with unknown intent. Badly worded, but close enough. That isn't all of his history either.
