Cars...known to be a point A to Point B type of transportation. Sure that is a undying fact, but they are so much more! The art, the power, the reputation, the engineering, none of it goes overlooked. Those who understand this knowledge, appreciate...
You know me...right? If you've looked around my other books, you might know. But for a few more things to add here. Since this is a closely related "real-life-like-world."
Relationships are almost key here. You should value the people you ride with. For the heck of it. If you want, could be a single, irresponsible teenaged adrenaline-junkie. You don't have to be a kid though- grownups are fun too. The more people involved (talking character-wise) it generally makes a more emotional story. Be it: Parent, sibling, relative, best friend, whatever you think of. But, if you're a 'lone rider. I can respect that.
Now for the car stuff. You wanna have style, you want to be fast? Want to have you and your car and crew noticed? Trying to be the best street racer ever? There are other reputations to take. But it's gonna take work...but I can help you. Here's some things to follow.
First thing. When your form is done, say who you want to race with. I have two characters to choose from. One or the other.
If you want to have the best start possible. You need a car...but you need something good, not your dad's old range rover...no...you need to be quick to compete! And if you want an even BIGGER reputation, try to use something...super nice. Decals and body kits give a distinctive look, and also might show what type of driver you are.

Here is another example of a clean build. Nice exhaust, spoiler, Bodykit, rims, and tires. This will show your simplicity, yet 'tasteful' modding. This word is extremely subjective, due to how opinionated the car community is...but if you're not that educated, don't worry about a thing. Just make something, mmmm, descriptive!

But if you want wild, crazy and sharp? This reflects it perfectly. The car is a perfect blue, but there is carbon on it for some extra style. This is will be the center of attention on the road. You can go the aggressive route, or keep your subtletly. It's all up to you, really.

This is extremely laughable...even if you win with such an ugly car, you won't be given any positive credit. And stands out in a bad way. This is a hint of what people in the car culture call "rice" but there's worse... It used to be: Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancements.
But now it's just... Really immature Car Enthusiast...yeah. Bet you don't want to fall on that train.
Messing with the cops will also get you noticed. You'll be known as the "troublemaker". And some people mat look up to you to take the heat off of a street race, to avoid arrest. If you can do that, that is also another way of getting noticed around the country...but the cops remember too...
Remember, to be the very best...you have to work for it. Be fast Be unique Be bad.
Also, all Pokemon will be anthropomorphic. As I said, it's just a unique replacement for humans. Maybe their powers can give some special effects to your cars?
If the whole, Pokemon/car world infusion is confusing. Let me explain.
See the Pokemon still have a useful purpose here. Some can make smarter mechanics, more effective ones. Something simple that I can explain is
An Ice-type cooling off, let's say an overheated engine, or perhaps another useful component with their powers. Considering they can do it without freezing the oil....
Fire types can play a little dirty. Deflating opponents tires with their powers to get an extra edge on the competition (If you're into cheating) Poison-types, probably the same. If you're into dirty racing...
Physics are a little safer and smarter. Sometimes able to lightly increase their speed with their Telekinesis, although small, it can give a slight boost. Also being able to weave through traffic much more agile, or pushing them out of the way so no one dies. Tuning is as well easier. Being able to manage car components without the need for tools. Bolts, nuts, and bearings should be easier to unscrew and tighten with the help of their powers, making it faster and more effective.
Only thing Electric types are useful for is charging up dead car batteries, and jump-starts, or Hybrids...Other than that, not much use.
Any other types, I haven't thought of yet. All else would be rendered useless. But, if you have an idea, let me know. Makes them more logical in this crossover anyway. If you don't like the idea, it doesn't have to be included. Just a way to legitimize the Pokemon-logic.
