Reading info posted on the other forum's OOC thread, and will place future info here
Gym Typings you know of:
Siennaridge, The fairy tale fairy type gym, Magneport the Flashy Flying Type Gym, Tealstar the Oceanside Water Type Gym and Diamondtip the snowy Mountainous gym, although you haven't heard of a typing for that last one interestingly enough. Also heard of Lawngreen's grass type.
In your wishlist, if there are any Pokémon you'd rather you didn't encounter shiny/type shifts of, stick an asterisk (*) on the end of their name
If you level up medicine education then I'll give you extra info on the hp of your enemies.
On the topic of Gym leaders and Elite Four.
It takes an experienced trainer to control 2 pokémon at once, and they're usually not as effective as they could each be individually.
But Gym Leaders? They can EASILY handle at least 2 Pokémon as effectively each as you handle 1 Pokémon. The worst of them can handle 4 at once and most can handle 3. So even with only a single gym leader, they can still pose significant threat to even a team of trainers challenging them, which is what lead to the group format adopted in this region.
The reason Elite 4 trainers are truly scary? They can easily handle having all 6 Pokémon out at once, while also fighting themselves.
They are damn near impossible to defeat solo, and still hard enough in a team. So before you face them you need to be really ready.
And of course, the fable of Heatran that Ceres has based much religion around:
Thousands of years ago, before the ice came, when Mt. Cuspis still stood solid. The region was covered in forest. Only a few settlements existed. The biggest was known as Gigalith City. However, the gods of the land had grown restless and spiteful of mankind’s progress. The region was plagued with terrible earthquakes. It was feared that the land would rise up and kill all those that made it their home. A hero arrived, wielding a sacred weapon and fighting alongside a powerful Pokémon he had proven himself to: Heatran. He ventured to the domain of Regigigas, the monstrous god who was shaping the world to fight back at the humans and with his power slew the dark god there.
But the foul creature would not let the hero win so easily. Before dying he split what remained of his essence into several Golems to continue his dark work. The Golems were able to awaken Pollucite ridge, which unleashed a mighty eruption, along with several other volcanoes around the world. When the hero returned to his once great city he found only ash-covered ruins. Only the towns further east survived. But even when he found these he knew the Regis had had the last laugh. The world was darkened by smoke clouds and the temperature dropped. It was only thanks to the hero and his Heatran that Petalite, the new refuge, was able to survive as glaciers formed on Mt. Cuspis.
Heatran was the true god of this land, protecting humanity through this ice age long after the hero’s passing. When the world finally warmed again Heatran no longer appeared, no longer needed. To this day however, there are still shrines built to honour it throughout Ceres.

Rank | Details |
1-3 | Vague descriptions, you may be able to infer if they've passed 50% |
4-5 | I will inform you when they drop below 25% increments (25%/50%/75%) |
6 | I will inform you how many full ticks they've lost, i.e. when they drop below 90%,80%,etc. |
8 | I will tell you exact current hp/maximum hp (but will not tell you injured hp maximum; nothing will get me to tell you how many injuries they have except using cruelty's ability) |
