Unfortunately, the group I've got is pretty narrow in terms of what they want so Collectabeasts has simply sat on my hardrive.I'm not sure if this is what he's referring to, but it's what I found when I did a google search for "Pokemon D&D": <a href="http://www.scshop.com/~ritaxis/" target="_blank">http://www.scshop.com/~ritaxis/</a>I've got some serious love for BESMd20. It's not a perfect system (and I dislike how BESMd20 went with combat being a skill instead of just staying with BAB), but it's got a lot of potential.If you can find a copy of the Stingy Gamer's Edition, pick it up and you'll be good to go. You can get the pdf version here: <a href="http://enworld.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=1&products_id=374&it=1" target="_blank">http://enworld.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=1&products_id=374&it=1</a>Don't believe the Amazon sellers that are trying to sell their copies for $50+. That's crazy. The book itself sold in FLGS for $10. I see a copy for sale on Ebay for $8, and it looks like there's some copies over in the U.K. depending on how badly you want it.Note that there's a few different Stingy Gamer edition books out there. The Silver Age Sentinels one is different from the BESMd20.Of course, Guardians of Order was nice enough to SRD the BESMd20 system in the form of the Anime SRD. So if you don't mind a presentation that's a bit more boring (but has all the rule bits you'll want) you can just get the Anime SRD and save yourself a few bucks.The Guardians of Order site has finally disappeared, but you can still get the Anime SRD here:<a href="http://www.opengamingfoundation.org/animesrd.html" target="_blank">http://www.opengamingfoundation.org/animesrd.html</a>As an additional bonus, GoO did a breakdown (unfortunately it's not a detailed breakdown) of what the core D&D classes look like when converted over into Anime SRD terms. Whether you agree with their way of costing things or not isn't important. What is important is that it gives you a baseline to look at the other classes as well as the abilities and so forth, and then make modifications as you feel from there. They included that as part of the Anime SRD, which is a really nice bonus. Usually that's the kind of thing that wouldn't be included in an SRD.Combine Collectabeasts with the Anime SRD and you should be good to go. If you want to get crazy into designing monsters and stuff, that's a whole other topic. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
