Pikimon

Plot
The player begins the game to find that their character lives in Hocotate Village located in the Pikmania Region. As a young individual, the player's character was given an egg that hatched into a Bulborb Larva. During the years of the character's life, the player's character begins to train their Bulborb Larva in the hopes of discovering what it will evolve into later in its own life. The character's Bulborb Larva enjoys growing and learning to see for itself what it may become in the future. Because the player's character's rivals had also received their own Bulborb Larvae, the player's character and their rivals battle each other. Rivals always want to compete with each other to see who is better, and this causes the player's character and their rivals to battle quite frequently. The player then begins their journey across the Pikmania Region, striving to become the revered Pikimon Champion. The player will battle both wild Pikimon and other trainers' Pikimon to level up their own and become stronger. However, an antagonist organization known as "Group Pik N' Take" is present in the Pikmania Region. Group Pik N' Take's mission is to snatch any strong Pikimon they can find. Considering that the player will have increasingly stronger Pikimon, Group Pik N' Take encounters will become more common until the leader of the group is defeated in an intense battle. With Group Pik N' Take slipping from existence, the player will be free to challenge the Elite Four, and later, the current Champion of the Pikmania Region.
