Eh Quickie's pretty much the same way and she's doing great. As long as you don't add too many characters it should be okay.
If I do decide to participate, I'll try to keep it to no more than three characters and at least one Pokemon owned by each of them depending on who I settle on when that time comes.
I stopped playing after Johto. I forgot so many things that for the sake of simplicity, I gave all my Pokemon to a refuge and just deal with Mewtwo. And for anything plot-related, I stick to the stuff I know well. Like Team Rocket.
Any further memory I have of Pokemon was taken from the anime probably up until Pearl and Diamond with a small sprinkle of Black and White, so if anything, I'll just use that as a basis until I get a better grasp of what goes in on the RP (Or I seek Bulbapedia for in-game information).
