✦ Synopsis

Hello and welcome to Pokémon 5e! My name is Joe and I am the creator of this supplement, general D&D and Pokémon lover, and DM/Host of the "You Meet in a Tavern" D&D podcast. Pokémon 5e is very different than any other D&D game you have played before. No longer is your PC a powerhouse with a slew of dangerous spells and deadly weapons. You are now a Pokémon trainer – a mortal in control of your Pokémon with an iron fist or a gentle heart. As such, player characters have normal abilities and skills, but your focus is not in hand to hand combat. In fact, trainer vs. trainer and trainer vs. Pokémon fighting is strictly prohibited by laws. Your ability to stay in the game is dependent on the status of the Pokémon in your control. Although the threat of death is still very real, the battling and utility in the game is mostly transferred to your Pokémon. I set out to create this guide as a way to run a simplified Pokémon RPG using basic rules from an already well-known and popular TTRPG system. If you are jumping in on this without knowing anything about 5e D&D, check out the Basic Rules here! Many things in 5th Edition do not transfer well to the Pokémon world we know and love, so do not expect the statistics of Pokémon, effects of moves, etc. to play out exactly as they would in the games. This has been a project full of love for the game, and for the people that play it, and I hope it brings something new and exciting to your table!
