Sorry, I can be really confusing...
What I meant was that I somehow wanted to keep up where everyone is. If we are on a big area, or someone is even in another town entirely, it might not even be possible for two OC's to even meet. Okay that didn't help at all, did it?
Lets say Devlin was in this city called Red. It is a quite big place and the Pokecenter and Pokemart are on different sides of the city. Devlin in in the Pokecenter.
So then, Cecil is in the Pokemart and suddenly starts talking to Devlin. That is not really possible, because Devlin is on the other side of Red.
Or, Cecil is in the town called Green and in its Pokecenter, and starts talking to Devlin. Again, not possible because Devlin is on another place.
That is what I meant with if there is another places and the possibility of meeting them. I might be confusing you even more, or annoying you, but I am like this -3- I wanna know where everyone iiiiiisssss~
But if it is just a big city where we are, I have just complicated things to myself, so you don't have to note my ramblings.
Oh, and about the lay out. I suppose that if you don't know the lay out of the place right now, we can think that it is just a general place with rundown Pokecenter and Pokemart, some buildings and stuff like that?
Long long LONG rambling. I think I will go to the RP side of things now
