Pokémon Trainer Version 3 brings rebalanced monster companions, improved evolution, new Poké Ball abilities, and tactical team-building to Dungeons and Dragons 5e.

That question inspired my Pokémon Trainer D&D class. Pokémon and Dungeons & Dragons already share many ideas. Both focus on exploration, dangerous creatures, teamwork, growth, and overcoming increasingly d
