Setting:Warhammer 40,000 for pokemon tabletop united

this is the page i have created for warhammer 40,000 with pokeymans! i will be the project organizer and one of the fluff writers. the first section will be all about the project. then the second will be a description of the changes to the 41st millenium to facilitate the pokemon parts. part 3 will be a description of all the factions and their stance on pokemon and the various facets of the topic (this will be written from a in-universe perspective) chaos will have its own section (because chaos is chunky) and last few sections will be whatever we need them to be. because this project is related to pokemon and warhammer 40,000 expect *some* derp, rage, and skub in conversations (but not from me) (idk im prepared for the worst)

About this "project"

This project originated in the mind of savagereaper when after playing pokeymans vidyas he played a game of kill team (the orks vs death guard if you are interested) and it clicked: put pokemon in the world of warhammer 40,000 and see what sticks. so he went on /tg/ as you do when you have an epiphany and blabbed about it to fellow neckbeards (probbably you guys) and this page was born. he talked to his bro in real life (are you jealous im not alone?) and had some ideas and started working on a sketch (it'l be finished tonight) but then went to bed (it was late) so here we are now. WHAT ARE YOU DOING STILL READING THIS? GET TO WORK ON THIS MASTERPIECE! (lulz)

diffrences from vanilla

because pokemon have been injected into the setting of warhammer 40,000 we need to account for some things. 1. who has pokemon? what pokemon are allowed for people to have in the imperium? answer: pretty much everyone has one or two pokemon at their disposal but, not everyone uses them to battle. some have them to assist with menial labor, for example lots of machops machokes and machamps are employed in the astra millitarum to assist with loading munitions. electric type pokemon are unfortunatley not seen as much more than glorified mobile power generators. the guard may hook up poor raichu to a lascannon to power it if there is no other options for electricity because big guns must never tire. also the imperium may use certain pokemon to aid them in battle using the specific advantages granted by that pokemon. for example onyx can dig tunnels under enemy lines to flank the enemy with. but you can be BLAMMMED for having certain pokemon youre not supposed to have. there are certain laws dictating what kind of pokemon trainers are allowed to have. for example: any psychic pokemon are confiscated and placed on the black ships to go to holy terra because 1,000 psykers pokemon or not are needed for the service of the emperor. those that are not sacrificed to the emperor end up in the service of astropaths and other sanctioned psykers. other pokemon that are heresy are pokemon tainted by chaos (more on that later) any pokemon with a mark of chaos are BLAMMED on sight. also some pokemon are considered filthy xenos (also more on that) 2. what pokemon are involved in warfare? well almost all species, especially powerful ones (you wont be seeing jigglypuff fighting heretics alongside the guard) for example: charizard might use its flamer-like abilitties to fry a swarm of hormagaunts. others arent ususally directly involved with fighting. like the aforementioned raichu abra may aid the psychic powers of a sanctioned psyker or a space marine librarian. or they may be placed in more mundane battlefield roles. its not uncommon for a rather humanoid-looking pokemon to be handed some flak armor and a lasgun and shoved out into the field often with dubious results. (expect a hilarious sketch.) (lulz) 3. pokemon healthcare? human healthcare?? because of the grimdark nature of the setting im basing this on and due to a fact human healthcare is already held in low regard in the 41st millennium dont expect much more for pokemon. the few pokemon centers are usually in the top of a hive city or at the center of a community and all of the pokemon centers are under the supervision of the adeptus mechanicus. the tecnology used to heal pokemon is usually considered HOLY and is ill-understood and spread thin. for those without access to a pokemon center. old-fashioned medicine will have to do for healing pokemon. bandages, painkillers, anything in a standard medkit shouid do. 4. does the imperium see some pokemon as xenos? yes. the imperium usually has pretty vague policies on what pokemon are considered xenos. elgeyem and beheyem are definite examples. its really up to the gm.
