I have discovered that you can set statuses.

Figured it was worth asking this as I've not seen it talked about too much (not that I've looked super well, admittedly!): What sorts of campaigns are everyone interested in seeing, here? For example, standard gym crawls, scifi games, fantasy games, games where you can play supernatural or B&D things? Speak!

Let's see. So this is based of my own experiences with what sort of games tended to get the most applications as well as a few chats I've been a part of looking for specific things.
To start off, games with elaborate custom regions including stuff like maps, new gyms, etc, tend to get a lot of interest. Having the region developed in advance and having a lot of information set up in advance to share tends to draw people like crazy.
Games that let you play as pokemon, either using the PMD rules, your own simple conversion rules, or just letting you play as a trainer as normal that's just fluffed as pokemon, etc. People seem to love playing as pokemon.
Gym Crawls tend to get a lot of interest, but they also tend to be the region games, so there may or may not be a bit of an overlap.
There's a specific idea that gets kicked around as a joke that I know a few people would go fucking nuts for: Feast of the Gods. Supposed to be a plot about a group who, for some reason, are hunting down and killing the legendaries to actually eat them or serve them and absorb their powers, that sort of thing.
Opening up less commonly allowed things will also draw a crowd, but up to you if you actually /want/ to play for double elementalists or glitch benders, etc.
Crossover games get a lot of interest, from what I've seen.
Overall, though, I think the amount of interest you get for a game is generally proportional to the amount of information and prep you've done before you throw the game up. The more effort you show, the more people you'll interest who might otherwise be more picky.

I, personally, have been hoping for a sci-fi game. Something like a Shadowrun-esque setting that also allows supernatural classes/BatD would be pretty cool. A "runners amongst the intercorporation wars and industrial espionage" focus seems the obvious choice for this kind of setting, but you could also go for a gym crawl that happens to be in a futuristic region (probably with heavy trainer combat), or a very far future where technology is so advanced it's just indistinguishable from magic and mankind is setting out to explore the universe and its myriad mysteries.
Actually, yeah, a space game with supernatural stuff as psionics/genetic splicing would be pretty sweet.

The personal dream is to play in a Shin mongami tensai game (Shin megami tensai crossover with pokemon). Love the series, and really wanna one day actually play in a game based off of really any game in the franchise (Save for persona 4 dancing in the night)

A Legendary-involved campaign that uses the full book of Blessed and Damned will be awesome. I can see how hard it is to balance all the Gods and the mighty powers that come with them so it makes sense that this type of game is rare.
I am also a fan of some unique ideas like the one with a superhero theme I joined in the main site and maybe some ideas that I have not think of them being associated with Pokemon are all cool.
Classic gym crawl games are awesome as well, I especially like those that are in new region because that's like playing a whole new edition of Pokemon game.
These might not be "types of campaign" but I will be delighted to find a campaign, probably a gym crawl, that support multi-Pokemon format like Double Battle or one that I can run a Weather Team without hurting my teammates. But I think these are more solo-oriented so probably not the way to go for PTU.

I favor games that are vanilla and do not stray too far from the classic generic world and its rules/setup. Gym crawl, catch 'em all, find and stop the Evil Team, etc. Something based more heavily on the manga over the anime and games would be nice, though. Something that paid more attention to Trainer combat and didn't disallow it in League-related battles would be interesting as well.
