no but for real I highly recommend just absoltely fucking around with canon. pick the single most obscure character you can find from a single piece of lore dialogue in, you know, for example, pokemon black and white and build an entire world around them and also realize in horror in the group chat that you've been writing them for nearly 10 years. Not that I'm speaking from experience.

the Pok茅mon Conquest Crash Course: the Headcanons
alright so here's the nitty gritty on how we made conquest make any remote amount of sense. Why is god here? Why do legendaries just magically pop up? Why is Ransei named shitsfuckedville? All will be explained!
Basic history:
For one reason or another, Arceus created Ransei* as a part of a Higher Plane(TM), a bridge between earth and "the heavens". Probably because a lot of legendaries are very physical and that doesn't super mesh well with the whole transcendent heavenly being concept, so there needs to be a transitional space.
*Ransei is not called that yet.
There are people on it! They have cool powers! They're, like, somewhere between pokemon and human. They're human, but they can communicate with pokemon, they evolve like pokemon, all that cool stuff. Arceus even has a human they're buddies with! They're in charge. :)
Oh no, the people are fighting! Arceus' bestie dies! Arceus is pissed off by this, so they kick this little continent out, says fuck you guys then if you want to fight then you're gonna fight forever and I'm only letting you come back if it fucking stops. Downside: they're still weird and liminal, so they're also, like.... not quite on Earth? Well, they are, but time is... weird here. They kinda exist at every time? Sorta? Also, they're called Ransei now.
This is also why legendaries can just kinda.... pop up whenever.
Flash forward a few - hundred? Thousand? Honestly, we don't know - years. So now there's this new human that Arceus thinks is neat. But Ransei is still, yknow, bad, so they can't hang out. :( They give this new human some encouragement, but a rules are rules. No helping until Ransei isn't fighting anymore!
(This human is Hiroko.)
Uh, so, Warriors?
Warriors are kinda like psychics. And also kinda like Aura Guardians in the anime. And also kind of not comparable to anything else. Linking is a sort of metaphysical bond between a human and pokemon, in a way that fundamentally alters both of them. The stronger it is, the bigger the changes.
(Note that I forgot in the canon bit: not everyone in Ransei has the capability to link with pokemon. Only those that do are called warriors.)
Warriors can only link with so many pokemon (that part is canon) as it can be strenuous to have a lot at once. The stronger a link is, the harder it is to separate a pokemon and warrior. Putting a great deal of distance between them or certain artifical barriers, like pokeballs, can cause mental and physical damage to both parties. Do not separate them!
anything else?
Nothing important. There's a lot of smaller lore and politics and what have you that we've developed over the years, but this is Ransei 101. None of that matters right now.

villain arc hiroko verse rundown: some time after arriving in Hisui, Hiroko regains some memories of Ransei and her life prior. Upset by Arceus choosing to use her to solve problems here while Ransei is still suffering, she starts her own path. Using her ability to link with pok茅mon to convince people, she starts a sort of cult under the presumption that she's the chosen/prophet of the almighty sinnoh. Probably working with Volo in some capacity though they're probably both convinced that they're using one another to get to their goal. Hiroko's goal is to summon Arceus, forcibly link with it, and use its power to restore Ransei to its rightful place, bring an end to the war once and for all, and also maybe become God in the process bc fuck this guy.

I also need Hiroko to befriend more PLA protagonists so they can bond over the shenanigans they went thru on god's behalf

All said if you ever want to interact with me but know nothing about my blog or conquest or whatever just pop me an IM, I don't mind. I have a "pokemon conquest for the uninitiated" post that I need to link in my pinned once I'm done with the move and basic formatting isn't a nightmare
