About the adventure
You have been selected as one of six finalists for a rare opportunity: to become an official Lab Trainer for Professor Adrien Elm. Your final evaluation begins in New Bark Town, where all six finalists will compete in a tournament using rental Pokémon provided by the laboratory. Winning matters, but Elm is also judging how you adapt, command unfamiliar Pokémon, treat your partners, and conduct yourself as a Trainer. At the end of the evaluation, three finalists will be selected to become official Lab Trainers. Even those who are not chosen will still receive a rare Pokémon from Professor Elm for their time and effort. From there, Johto opens up. Travel familiar routes, explore expanded cities and entirely new locations, challenge Gyms, investigate strange events, meet recurring rivals, and build a team that reflects the kind of Trainer you want to become. Wild Pokémon encounters have been rebuilt from the ground up, with custom habitats and separate day and night tables designed to make Johto feel like a living region rather than a copy of the video games. This Pokémon Tabletop United campaign focuses on actually living as a Pokémon Trainer. Tactical battles are important, but so are exploration, research, training, Pokémon care, rivalries, and roleplay. Your Pokémon are more than battle pieces as well; over your journey, they will grow and develop their own personalities, preferences, habits, and relationships with you and the rest of your team. New players are welcome, and no previous PTU experience is required.

About me
Hello! I’m AJ, a Dungeon Master with experience dating back to 2018, including nearly four years of running games on stream. My approach to play emphasizes the three pillars in this order: social interaction, exploration, and combat. I focus on immersive storytelling through careful attention to detail, including vivid sensory descriptions, believable NPC behavior, and environments designed to feel natural and internally consistent. I usually run games in my own custom setting, but I am equally comfortable using official settings when preferred. While combat is third in my priorities, I still make it engaging, dynamic, and challenging. My goal is to create meaningful tension without becoming unfair or overly punishing. Players can expect encounters that reward smart decisions and teamwork rather than simple endurance. I am also very comfortable working with new players. I have introduced many people to the game over the years and enjoy helping them learn the rules, build confidence, and develop good habits for future campaigns.

Safety
How AJ creates a safe table
As with any group of players, you’ll be asked to complete a brief survey about your comfort levels with certain topics. This helps me adjust the game ahead of time to ensure a respectful, safe, and enjoyable table for everyone. We’ll also take a 10-minute break midway through the session for water, snacks, and to check in if needed. If anything during the game makes you uncomfortable, you can privately message me “Yellow” to signal that things should ease up, or “Red” for an immediate stop. This applies to in-game content and player behavior alike, I’m committed to maintaining a positive experience for the whole group.
