Haha, I of course love this idea, big Pokemon fan. And, I'll take the simple route and say we keep the same map and most of the mechanics of the current LoL.

As for chooseable Pokemon, I think they would have to meet a minimum requirement BST. (base stat total). So that weaker pokemon or lines just aren't viable...like Dunsparce or Sunkern etc.

Let us keep the level 18 max level, because if we are keeping the exp mechanic, they will grow at the same rate. Now there will be major balancing issues, like stated above, Salamence would techinicly destroy a butterfree just because of BST. But, then again, if this was to happen, they might only allow 100 pokemon into this, to which all would have very similar BST. (Think of the OU tier if you are in competitive)

As for moves, keep to 4, plus the passive (which many would have to be removed due to them being useless in this type of game style, like rain dish, chlorophyll etc, unless random weather was added...or Politoed..). As for the moves, I think they should follow current design to which they are the same every time, but grow over time, just like they do. But to make it more unique..let's take Torchic-Blaziken. Starts off with Ember, Scratch, Low kick and Blast burn for ultimate. Now, as you level, your move gets more powerful, so a point into your Ember skill, would turn it into Fire spin, a slightly better move, as it gives DoT...another point would be Flamecharge, then Flamethrower and finally Blast burn. Scratch->Slash->Mega Punch->Take down. Low kick->Force palm (chance of para)->Brick break(lowers def)-> Dynamicpunch. and the ult would just gain power.

Items would be a bit harder, but let's keep the current items,and make Special attack into Ability power, and just Special def. to magic resist. Creeps could be nameless pokemon like bidoof etc, and jungle monsters, Baron could be Arceus, and Dragon, Rayquaza etc. the minor creeps such as lizard, houndoom maybe? idk.

I think that the co-op could be fun and have gyms as challenges, and or Elite four, getting progressivly harder.

Anyway, my 2c
