For a start there are no humans, so how will the pokemon fights work? Is there even Pokemon fighting? How knowledgeable should I be of the pokemon universe, what I mean by that is should I know every kind of gem, food or special item that a Pokemon can digest and every attack a pokemon can have? Should I consult a wiki for that? Also claiming Mudkip, Jigglypuff, Snorlax, Feraligatr.
Alright, so Pokémon Mystery Dungeon is in fact an actual sub-series of Pokémon. In this, Pokémon are sentient and live much like humans, though if you want to get a feel for it, you can search for it online, such as this one. Yes, there is fighting, though it's treated like fights in other RP's (just taking into account type effectiven. If you want to know what a certain item does, you can either look it up on Bulbapedia or you can ask me in pm's, though for picking out moves, I'd recommend Bulbapedia (taking into account the rules). Also cool choices, though would you mind telling me which group your claims will be associated with (The Rescue Guild, The Residents of Crescent Moon Island or Darkrai's Cabal).
What's the difference between the three? You haven't given descriptions to any of the three guilds. Judging by the first's name I'd say that it's the "hero league" of pokemon, the second one is the "civilians" but I have no clue what the third one is.
Claiming Croagunk and Corphish for the rescue guild, Floatzel for one of the residents and Banette for the Cabal

Bubbles lost his father to “and accident” that happened a few years prior, where he was found dead in the nearby forest.

When he was just a riolu pokemon started picking on him and ever sense that day he promised to make sure to get revenge by proving to other pokemon he is more successful than them. After getting good luck. He then realized that battles aren't just about revenge but its about something that you can love doing.He is widely known to do justice but no one knows that he's doing it just for revenge. He even gets paid thousands just for his good work on his exploration team. His family is poor but he still supports his family. He does have more brains than bronze.He always practices and trains. He is probably very smart. so don't underestimate him. Also when he was a riolu he was homeless. If you're willing to beat him i have to warn you he has gone through a lot of training. Pokemon don't see him as more of a hero but more as an athlete. Sure though he is very lucky to still be alive after all these years hes been through. He is willing to risk his life to save pokemon just to take revenge on those who laughed at him when he was just a riolu.

He may not be as strong as his best friend sittch but he has a lot of potential. He is known to be sneaky. some pokemon even think he can be quite strict sometimes. You won't like him when he is angry though. Don't get on his bad side. You would need to be smart to outsmart him. He can go fast and he is quite helpful. He started out as a Trainee.
