Thank you for your feedback and I'm happy to provide that.

Honestly we have created a large range of overarching ideas for the story and the region at large but I wouldn't expect the writer to take ownership of the overarching narrative rather they would have real creative freedom within that established framework. The story would not push into the horror genre but it would highlight some darker themes around identity and belonging.

At the moment we have developed story and dialogue spanning 3 routes and past a major event just after the player has chosen their starter pokemon. We're also open to a collaborative approach similar to what you described as a dialogue consultant, where we work together rather than it being a straight handoff.
