Alrighty! We'll run the Aotearocket game with the Original Six, less a Lucian and with retooled Nada and Jack. If you want to start putting a sheet together, we can borrow/steal Jacq's character sheet because I'm lazy.
We'll do the thing from last time where your character is Level 5. This means character creation will require the following:
I've broken it down like this in case you want to penalise your character so you can have more cash/better starting Pokemon. I'm not going to set hard and fast rules on this but fudge it as you feel is fair/appropriate.
On the page labelled Levelling Path you can write what you retroactively took for each level; this would be a good place to write a sentence or two of backstory about the situation where you gained the skills necessary to perform the Feature you took for any given level. (e.g. How you ranked up after taking a Skill Edge, or spending some time at a breeding facility so you learned Breeder or Egg Index. It doesn't have to be overwrought, it just helps flesh out the character.
To account for the fact that Level 5 trainers have traveled a bit with their Pokemon, you'll be able to have assembled a team by now. That, or have one slightly stronger Pokemon. Here's my rules on the matter: https://mibpaste.com/jgxSln
If you find that you're left with points left over and really can't be assed packing a Weedle, feel free to note that your team's notably underpowered and add a "compromise" somewhere else in character creation. If you've got upwards of 70 points worth of STATS on your team and still want egg moves, for example, you could settle for being Trainer Level 4. Just play it by ear, ok?
There might be other stuff worth mentioning but we can discuss setup in this thread, and start the reboot up once everything's squared away.
E: Cyber's messing around with Team Making shows that, apparently, the 80point limit nets you either a lot left over when making one 'mon, or two lumps of mediocrity. You're welcome to go a bit over the 80 points if you, for example, opt for Trainer Level 4 instead of 5.

peace to the unsung peace to the martyrs | i'm johnny rotten appleseed
clouds is shaky love | broke as hell but i got a bunch of ringtones
eyes blood red bruise aubergine | Sue took something now Sue doesn't sleep | saint average, day in the life of
woke up in the noon smelling doom and death | out the house, great outdoors
staying warm in arctic blizzard | that's my battle 'til I get inanimate | still up in the same clothes living like a gameshow
