Yes, but not in standard battles. Only in the wild can they use multiple moves.
No, as most of them are born from inanimate concepts or hate each other
Yes, there are quite a few Pokémon in Locasol that are capable of human speech, but all the Pokémon are sentient
There are some regional forms, but I’ve been toying with different colors and styles
No, some are artificially created, or birthed from matter
Some mythical pokemon are talked about, but as Locasol is an entirely different universe, no one knows who tf Volcanion or Phione are. Some are folklore
Locasol starts their journeys at 18. That way there aren’t angsty teenagers with weapons of potentially mass destruction. Also so they have an education
For the most part, very truthful. The rarer Pokémon don’t have much info about them other than rumors and speculation
It is just fate, and it is not a rule, just a pattern
Levels are a measurement of power and growth, it can be measured and used to classify different Pokémon of the same species
Trade Pokémon tend to evolve when claiming new territory. Stone Pokémon tend to evolve when exposed to a large concentration of the element is. Friendship Pokémon tend to evolve if they have a strong bond with their pack/group
Some do, some can understand tones, others hand signals, and some are deaf
The genes can be passed down, but shininess is recessive and very rare to emerge
Perhaps, like small birds, fish, and insects. But not larger ones
They aren’t technically Gyms, more themed trials based on either a style, gimmick, or theme. They are multiple all over Locasol, maybe 20 or so, but only 10 are required to compete in the leagues
They are called Shinies because their skin reflects light more than their non-shiny counterparts do
Yes, unless they are regionals
There is no champion, but it does grant you status and fame. More of a club of sorts
There are plans for customizable clothing that grants stat buffs, a new status, both overworld and battles for catching Pokémon, Styles from Legends Arcues, including a few new ones, and maybe more
