Setup for this compaign is very straightforward. They make a standard Lv. 1 DND character and a story about a day in the life of their character (Not too long unless you want the session to go all night). No two characters have to be related. They can be from different times, different cities, different universes... It doesn't matter. One character can be a prostitute on another planet with 7 different STD's unique to his/her planet and another can be a formal diplomat and be born 100 years after said prostitute is dead. Let the players have fun with it. That is all that is needed from the players to get this session underway.
2 small square maps. There will be one encounter in this session. It is designed to introduce the characters to each other and to introduce the story and drop the suprise that it is a Pokemon based DND compagn (so don't tell them before hand). It will also cross worlds with the Legend of Zelda a little bit.
Have each player read out their story about the day in the life of their character. When all the characters have concluded their days and fallen asleep for the night that all have the same dream. They are a fairy, floating in the air in front of a living tree. The tree is old and wise. He tells them "In the vast deep forest of Hyrule, long have i served as the gaurdian spirit. I am known as the Deku Tree. The chrildren of the forest, the Kokiri, live here with me. Each Kokiri has his or her own gaurdian fairy. However, there is one boy who does not have a fairy. Listen to my words, the words of the Deku Tree. Dost thou sense it? The climate of evil descending upon this realm? Malevolent forces even now are mustering to attack our land of Hyrule. For so long, the Kokiri Forest, the source of life, has stood as a barrier, deterring outsiders and maintaining the order of the world. But, before this tremendous power, even my power is as nothing. It seems the time has come for the boy without a fairy to begin his journey.
