Introduction
What is This Book All About?
Do Porygon Dream of Mareep?
is the official Pokémon Tabletop United guidebook for creating and running
science fiction campaigns or introducing sci-fi elements into any sort of PTU campaign. Not every sci-fi
campaign will benefit from using all of the content of this book, but GMs are recommended to pick and
choose elements they like to create their own campaign world. Treat the book as a toolkit.
Chapter 1
outlines several different sub-genres within sci-fi and how they can be used with Pokémon. After
all, there’s a world of difference between a galaxy-spanning campaign about Spoinks in space and a near
future dystopian cyberpunk campaign. Here you’ll find rules for handling situations that don’t often come
up in normal PTU play, such as changing gravity levels and traveling through a vacuum. You’ll also find
suggestions for how to adapt the Pokémon world to a sci-fi universe, from coming up with new origins for
Pokémon to the implications of a sci-fi setting on core Pokémon concepts such as the PC storage system.
Chapter 2
is the gear and equipment chapter. Everything from new weapons to Poké Ball modifications to
vehicles and Pokébots can be found here. Included are cybernetic augmentations to Trainers and Pokémon
alike, with variant rules depending on whether your game takes a grittier or more idyllic approach to the
topic. Be warned –
there are a lot of subsystems in this section!
While they are included to provide GMs
with many options,
using them all can quickly make the game too complicated.
You are reminded to be
judicious in choosing what to include in your campaign. Knowing where to simplify is an important skill.
Chapter 3
provides brief ideas for non-human Trainers such as those in robot bodies and introduces four
new Trainer classes! First is the
Engineer,
who creates and uses robots called Pokébots. Second is the
Jailbreaker,
a tinkerer who creates add-ons and modifications for Poké Balls. Third is the
Upgrader,
a
cybernetics expert who creates augmentations for Trainers and Pokémon. Last is the
Glitch Bender,
a new
supernatural class for characters who’ve been touched by MissingNo. or a glitch in reality itself.
Chapter 4
offers sample settings and campaign ideas to give new GMs a head start. Each campaign concept
comes with a detailed setting description, several plot-hooks, and in some cases, optional rules for use in
that campaign. Sample locations and encounters are also included for any campaign.

Meet Pory and Mary
As with the other Pokémon: Tabletop United books, there will be notes on rules clarifications or
suggestions for GMs and players. Look for these gray boxes and Pokémon for those notes!
Greetings, reader. I am Pory, the Dreaming Porygon-Z.
My comments are intended to elucidate matters of rules
and mechanics within this document.
Hi, I’m Mary, the Electric Mareep! I’ll be handling
anything that’s on the fluffier side of things, from
making your setting stand out to building your plot to
just plain commentary on this book’s contents.
