Choosing a character?

Mind that you read the features of the game before you post anything.
The features you are talking about are quite restricted compared to what we will offer.
- All possible starters are choosable at the beginning of the game.
- All pokémon will be catchable in the game.
- In case there are more starters you want, there is a trade/sell system.
- Create your own customizable trainer, Hair, Skin, Clothes and Accessories are available.
In other words: Your idea is mostly already implanted and even better than yours.
There will be no character choice, nope, even better, YOU CAN DECIDE FOR YOURSELF WHAT YOU WANT YOUR TRAINER TO LOOK LIKE YAAAAAAY!

Yeah, I get all that but disagree. I don't see how it's better.
First, I'm not suggesting all pokemon are uncatchable to Bug Catchers, etc
Second, I'm talking about having character sprites and a storyline based on them with different starters.
I just think my idea could be implemented on top of just being the stupid kid who starts every pokemon game, working for Professor Oak. I'm "suggesting" a character style alternative, like in World of Warcraft and starters based on that character to keep some continuity. And if programmers are adventurous, even an alternate storyline and starting location for the characters because it wouldn't make much scene for Oak to give a Team Rocket member a pokemon.
Team Rocket Grunts can start at Celedon city, where Giovanni offers you 3 poison type pokemon to choose from.
Pokemanics can start at Bill's house.
Blackbelts at the Fighting Dojo (offering a choice of 3 fighting pokemon)
Bug Catchers at the Viridian Forest
Swimmers at Misty's gym.
And if it's too hard to pick a place and 3 starting pokemon for a character sprite, dont offer it. Start out with just a few.
But I can think of plenty more alternatives beginning scenarios. But if it's set in stone, ignore the idea and close the topic. Just thought it was a cool idea.

The game is not set in any of the regions, instead they are making an entirely new region with different maps. I think making my own customizable character is better than a set char.

True and agreed.
The way i see it, having a character set is for people who cant make up their minds about customization or is just lazy. But customizing a set character to your liking but still defines what you are, that may be a different story.

Oh nonono it ain't hard, and the ideas you're having might be good, but you should come with LESS COMMON pokémon for starters otherwise people will never start with one certain class just because the starters in that class may be very common/weak like you came up with for Team Rocket. (Infinite zubats in caves). And I can see the bugcatcher getting quite impopular with most people if you offer caterpillar pokémon.
The main reason Nintendo went for specific starter pokémon of three basic types is to introduce new players to type advantage and disadvantage.
