Re:Kanto

I'm a big fan of a manga called Re:Monster. It's also a light novel. The premise is a human psychic from an RPG science fiction universe is murdered, and he's re-incarnated into a fantasy RPG universe as a monster.

Since he was a psychic, some of his powers were tied to his mind and not the brain, so he was able to retain all of his human memories along with a few specific abilities. The story then challenges, "what now"? The main character decides to just focus on survival in his new life, rather than reflect much on his former life, but uses his knowledge and abilities to shape the world around him.

I've considered what it would be like to apply this framework to Pokemon. I don't think it's particularly interesting to copy and paste the Re:Monster plot exactly (hero to villain), so take it one of two ways:

1. If Ash remembers everything in the anime, what would happen if he woke up one day, and it's the day before his journey began in Kanto (coma theory).
2. What if you the UPN poster were Ash, starting in Kanto. What would you do?

I feel these are interesting questions. I'm not necessarily looking for "I'd battle until I met the Elite Four, and then become the champion" - because that's video game thinking. This is living within the anime world, and once you become the champion, the story doesn't end like it does in the game. Sure, you could imagine that route I guess...but talk about what happens afterward.

I'm only interested in Kanto because Kanto-Johto, to my knowledge, are the only series that are directly related to one another. Each subsequent game that wasn't a remake took place ostensibly contemporaneously. I saw Cynthia in B/W but there wasn't any indication B/W took place after DP.

But because of the Kanto-Johto relationship, there are changes during the Johto era that posters need to be cognizant of. You should also rewind Johto and imagine how it was during the Kanto era. Like, was the Goldenrod Radio Tower even broadcasting in the first year of Kanto...? Stuff like that.
