Let's say Pokémon were real, and gyms weren't for getting muscles, but for fighting masters of Pokémon. Where Pokémon don't have "levels" and don't only have a limited moveset. And where 10 year olds leave their homes to try and become the master but end up just standing in one spot for the rest of their lives (that part's actually the game-mode, but I felt like adding it in =P).
You have an interest in Pokémon, so you want to leave someday and try to become something, but what that is is your choice.
How old are you when you left/will leave?
Which region do you live in?
What will you do with your life? (Maybe try to become a gym leader, or Elite 4, or the master, maybe just fight crime [like Team Rocket or something], or maybe JOIN the bad guys, or maybe you just wanna become strong and fight random people around the world)
Which starter would you choose? (based on the region you're in)
Would you travel with anybody? If so, who?
Would any of your Pokémon stay outside of their Pokéball?
What would your team eventually be? (Stay withing region possibilities, and no legendaries due to the fact that they would be a hella lot harder in reality than in a game, and I doubt you'll be getting any master balls on this quest)
Then if you decide to leave the region (can't if you're a gym leader or poké league), what would your Pokémon be in the end?

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR A THREAD LIKE THIS.
Too bad I didn't find out about it sooner. I hope I'm not too late. I was going to post this yesterday, but my Internet suddenly stopped working while I was finishing my post. D=
To tell you the truth, I LOVE Pok?mon and everything about it so I fantasize about this A LOT. No joke. Make fun of me if you want, I don't care. Anyway, here are my answers:
Age: 11-14 depending on who/if I travel with/anyone.
Region: Hoenn
Life: Trainer who gets all gym badges. I just want epic adventures. Plus I'll contribute to the various professors' Pok?dex research.
Starter: =3 Who do you think? (MUDKIP!) But the others are great too. Torchic comes in close at 2nd and Treecko close at 3rd.
Traveling companions: No idea, but as for people in the real world who like Pokemon and are good at it, maybe Ridley and Red from this forum. I personally know them. Or maybe a few of my other friends who play Pok?mon well. I'd totally travel with Ash and his friends if I could though. But if couldn't, I'd only take three others with me. UPDATE: Or I'd find an attractive and interesting girl to travel with, if you catch my drift. 8)
Pok?mon who stay outside of their Pok?ball: Not sure. Maybe someone who's overall reliable or someone who floats or flies.
My team would probably eventually be (for Hoenn region Pok?mon): NOT SURE (must find old guide)
If I leave the region, in the end, my Pok?mon would be (mostly for their awesomeness): Swampert, Scizor, Weavile, Gengar... there's so much to choose from. I really can't decide. UPDATE: these, plus anyone from this list: Glaceon, Umbreon, Ampharos, Kingdra, Sudowoodo, Politoed, Sableye, Aggron, Luxray, Rampardos, Bastiodon, Floatzel, Lucario, Rhyperior, Golem, and Yanmega. Whoa, I just named 20 awesome Pok?mon. It's a lot, I know, but I like to have a big selection.
i would capture pokemon just like ash ketchup
How old are you when you left/will leave?
I'll leave home when I'm 15-16. I was an idiot 10-year older.
Which region do you live in?
Johto
What will you do with your life?
I wanna be the very best
Like no one ever was
Which starter would you choose? (based on the region you're in)
Either Chikorita or Cyndaquil...I'd think I'd choose Chikorita in real life
Would you travel with anybody? If so, who?
Yes, whoever, happens to be my friend in this alternate universe.
Would any of your Pok?mon stay outside of their Pok?ball?
Yes, all of them, expect when it's impractical to let them roam.
What would your team eventually be?
In Johto, I'd become the champion and own challengers before retiring and leaving to see the rest of the world.
Then if you decide to leave the region (can't if you're a gym leader or pok? league), what would your Pok?mon be in the end?
I'll have to eventually go to Hoenn to get a Sceptile and to Sinnoh for a Garchomp. Of course, I'll keep my starter Meganium and my Togekiss that evolved from the Togepi I somehow obtained in Johto. I'll also need something to counter anything with ice, so I'll use Infernape. And Wobbuffet, just because. Actually, I'd probably change my team quite a bit in real life.
How old are you when you left/will leave?
Sometime between 16 and 20.
Which region do you live in?
Kanto
What will you do with your life?
Which starter would you choose?
Bulbasaur
Would you travel with anybody?
Nah
Would any of your Pok?mon stay outside of their Pok?ball?
I don't see why not.
What would your team eventually be?
Leafeon, Parasect, Farfetch'd, Exeggutor, Walrein, and a Ditto
How old are you when you left/will leave?
About 17. If this is realistic, then I'm not gonna go on a cross-country adventure when I'm a freaking pre-teen.
Which region do you live in?
Kanto.
What will you do with your life?
Traveling trainer, but I'm more on the researching side than becoming the best fighter.
Which starter would you choose?
Charmander.
Would you travel with anybody?
Definitely. I guess a couple friends, and maybe some new people along the way.

My starter and/or an Eeveelution.
What would your team eventually be in region?
Charizard, Vaporeon, Sandslash, Raichu, Butterfree, Alakazam

What will you do with your life? (Maybe try to become a gym leader, or Elite 4, or the master, maybe just fight crime [like Team Rocket or something], or maybe JOIN the bad guys, or maybe you just wanna become strong and fight random people around the world)
Win epically and adventure
Which starter would you choose? (based on the region you're in)
Cyndaquil (Its got fire on its back. Why wouldnt you choose it?) or Totadile (I would learn to like fish and send it to catch me some)
Would you travel with anybody? If so, who?
Friends
Would any of your Pok?mon stay outside of their Pok?ball?
Yes. How can they expect to get any stronger if I am carrying them around all the time?

Feraligatr or Typhlosion, Ampharos, Quagsire or Magmar, Noctowl or Pidgeot, Heracross, Dragonite.
Then if you decide to leave the region (can't if you're a gym leader or pok? league), what would your Pok?mon be in the end?
Feraligatr or Typhlosion, Ampharos, Gyarados or Magmortar, Staravia, Heracross, Garchomp.
How old are you when you left/will leave? Umm... When did Red/Blue come out again?
Which region do you live in? Hoenn, then move to Sinnoh
What will you do with your life? Train to beat the champion, then shiny breed and EV train.
Which starter would you choose? Mudkip, then Piplup
Would you travel with anybody? If so, who? Probably just me and my Poke'mon
Would any of your Pok?mon stay outside of their Pok?ball? Some of them. They would make good pets.
What would your team eventually be? Be shiny and EV trained and ready to kick butt. Oh, you meant Poke'mon? Then... Swampert, Garchomp, Umbreon, Charizard, Venusaur, and Lucario. Some can be switched in and out with various others.
Then if you decide to leave the region (can't if you're a gym leader or pok? league), what would your Pok?mon be in the end? They'll stay with me til the end of my days.
Leave when I'm 16 in Kanto and get myself a Charmander so that I could ride around on a Charizard and fight crime in Celadon City like Batman defends Gotham.
They'll hear the cry, and then the sound of their flesh burning under the intense flames.
Criminals that is... but isn't everyone a criminal at heart?

YOU PEOPLE ARE AWESOME AND I LOVE THIS THREAD.
You know, it always baffled me how a parent was completely fine with their child leaving before they were even teenagers.
Anyways, I'd probably finish schooling (so 17-18 for departing) , start with Charmander (so Kanto for starting origin). As fo what I'd do, I'm going to go with just wander the "world." This would probably consist of battling gym leaders and maybe later the E4 and whatnot, but not set on it. I'd travel with friends if they chose to come with me. As for keeping them out of the Pokeball, I have no idea, same as what the team would be at any point.
Ideally, I'd think the only benefit of being in the Pokemon world (based on the anime mind you) is that money is no object for travel and room and board, so I could freely travel the world without ever worrying about financial matters.

Yeah, I've often thought about that too
not that I have fantasies about me being in the Pok?mon world. The Pok?mon world is near perfect. The worst they have is just about the same germs and whatever that we have, some crime organizations, and natural disasters. No pedos preying on lost traveling 10 year-olds or anything. It's
too perfect. I'd go there in a heartbeat if I could, though.
How old are you when you left/will leave? Probably fifteen. That's the age when I hate my parents enough to go (what? I'm a ninnyy teenager), and my parents are irritated enough to let me (really ninnyy). Also, I'm mature and all that other poop.
Which region do you live in? Kanto. Original = Best.
What will you do with your life? I'll expand my collection, train and fight in each Gym, and hopefully travel across the region to become the best. I'll want to travel to each region and collect all of their badges, as well as try and catch as many Pok?mon as possible along the way.
Which starter would you choose? Squirtle <3
Would you travel with anybody? I'm a loner at heart. It'd probably be just me and my Pok?mon. But assuming everyone I know is also going to be a trainer, I'd have a problem. First of all, my boyfriend is going to want to accompany me, and honestly I don't think I can spend every waking moment with him. Then there are a few friends that will want to come with me, and once again I don't want to spend every moment with them either. I'd probably end up going with my boyfriend and a couple close friends, and eventually split up and remain in touch, blah, blah, blah. I hope I can see friends, but travel (for the most part) alone.
Would any of your Pok?mon stay outside of their Pok?ball? I'd let them out to play and train, but otherwise they'll stay in their balls unless they protest.
What would your team eventually be? Blastoise, Gengar, Raichu, Alakazam, Arcanine, and Pidgeot.

i am exactly the same way, dude. no joke.
How old are you when you left/will leave? AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!!!! I WOULDNT WAIT.
Which region do you live in? hmm. not sure. blazikens my favorite, but my dream team consists mainly of sinnoh pokemon.
What will you do with your life? just go with the flow. pretty much what the last guy said, but id probably focus on expanding my pokedex.
Which starter would you choose? if im in sinnoh, id go with turtwig.
Would you travel with anybody? probably not. only if my friends would come with their own team.
Would any of your Pok?mon stay outside of their Pok?ball? id let them all out whenever possible. but here comes a problem. as they evolve, they will get larger. significantly larger. and some would get more aggressive. thats why i would probably keep them in their early forms as long as possible.
What would your team eventually be? my dream team is blaziken, swampert, torterra, gallade, dusknoir, togekiss. but since they can only be sinnoh pokemon, swampert would have to change to quagsire, and blaziken to infenape, who is only a CHEAP RIP OFF OF BLAZIKEN!!!!

Is it alright if I send you a buddy request or whatever it is on this forum? We've crossed paths before and you seem like a cool guy on the same level of thinking as me (as in daydreams lol).
Was I supposed to PM this?Anyway, Blaziken
is awesome. I have one in
Emerald along with my starter, who was Mudkip ;D. In my
Pearl, I chose Turtwig. And in case I forgot to say, I'd start in Hoenn and then move to Sinnoh eventually (keeping Hoenn as my home though).

Yes, it would be awesome. You could travel to all of the regions if you wanted, I assume. I would definitely make it a point to explore all of them.
As a kid, I always wondered why not every trainer didn't need a starter with them (with the logic I often use in games just because), and it kinda carried on 'till now, after replaying Emerald a bit, it finally clicked "oh derp, maybe they did what Wally did :O"
So, you wouldn't need to have a starter be your first pokémon, it would have to be based on where you live, but I won't add this to the beginning of the thread since it would just make things a over complicated.
Come on guys, what else would you do with your Poké-lives?

YES! MORE ACTIVITY IN THIS
AWESOME THREAD! =D FINALLY!
I didn't want to look weird for "reviving" it; it's kind of old. But I'm glad you did. HO DANG. I just checked the date of that last post and actually,
I'M the late one anyway, lol. Well, here's my post.
I've also thought about this myself. I just thought that different Trainers started their journeys in different ways; therefore, different Pokémon are caught/received for aspiring Trainers to get started on their adventure. Not everyone lives near the town with the Professor, and not everyone travels all the way there to start their journey.
If I were to start in Kanto without a normal Starter, I'd want to start with... actually, I'm not sure. I guess I'll make a list: Gastly, Nidoran [Male], Poliwag, Vulpix, Zubat, Psyduck, Abra, Machop, Geodude, Shellder, Cubone, or Voltorb. I just chose Pokémon that seem good to start off with, easy to train, etc. Also, I'm just going to make one more list--for Hoenn, my favorite region--, the one for Kanto is just because it's the first region. As for Hoenn, non-normal starters include: Poochyena, Zigzagoon, Shroomish, Nincada, Whismur, Makuhita, Azurill, Nosepass, Sableye, Aron, Meditite, Electrike, Gulpin, Carvanha, Camerupt, Spoink, Trapinch, Cacnea, Barboach, Corphish, Baltoy, Shuppet, and Duskull. If you didn't notice, I only listed Pokémon that evolve, mainly because the lists are long already, but also because all normal starters and most non-normal starters evolve anyway. Sableye is an exception because it's one of my favorite Pokémon and fits the list otherwise.
I'm just going to summarize my previous post and/or add on a bit I guess. This is all
probable (if any of this would ever happen that is). I'd start my journey after school, travel with a friend or two (plus a hot girl that I'm
totally interested in :3), catch as many Pokémon as possible, contribute to Pokémon research, challenge the Pokémon League, travel abroad, meet new friends, etc.
OH YEAH, I still love this thread.
How old are you when you left/will leave? Somewhere between 18 and 22
Which region do you live in? Hoenn
What will you do with your life? Travel, make friends, fight crime
Which starter would you choose? Mudkip
Would you travel with anybody? If so, who? Yes. Girlfriend and best friend(s)
Would any of your Pokémon stay outside of their Pokéball? If any, my starter.
What would your team eventually be? Swampert, Dustox, and who knows what else
Then if you decide to leave the region (can't if you're a gym leader or poké league), what would your Pokémon be in the end? Swampert, and who knows what else

YEA BOI. Mudkip and Swampert are INSTANT win. I agree with everything, but
especially these things.
To all else: let's keep this thread going strong, 'kay?
Please?
How old are you when you left/will leave? 14
Which region do you live in? Born in Hoenn, travel everywhere.
What will you do with your life? I would gain all of the gym badges, then become a mysterious badass for a while.
Which starter would you choose? Treeko
Would you travel with anybody? Just my pokemon.
Would any of your Pokémon stay outside of their Pokéball? Grovyle and Alakazam once they evolved.
Then if you decide to leave the region (can't if you're a gym leader or poké league), what would your Pokémon be in the end?
Grovyle - Alakazam - Nidoking - Primeape - Metagross - Arcanine
Another thing guys, try to be realistic, do you plan on living in the same city your whole life in reality? if so, you probably wouldn't travel the world if Pokémon existed. Do you plan on traveling the world when you're older? If so, then you probably wouldn't be a gym leader or whatever.

I would travel the world for at least 2 years; longer if I really want to. If I get married or something and want to sort of "settle down," concerning Hoenn, I'd probably live in Fortre, Slateport, Rustboro, or Mauville City. My living decisions are based on the games by the way, seeing as I can't remember all of the features they had that were shown in the animé. For Sinnoh, I'd live in Jubilife, Eterna, Hearthome, or Veilstone City. For Kanto, I'd live in Cerulean, Celadon, Fuschia, Saffron, or Viridian City. I don't think I'd be a Gym Leader or anything like that. I'd prefer being a Pokémon researcher and maybe part/spare-time breeder.
Gosh, I wish they existed. =P
