All right, so reading Kururu's post just a few posts below this one made me realize that I was going to need a ton of help on one of my newest AU's. Namely, the KH/Pokemon one

Yeah, looks good! However, I...kinda thought that their adventures would be somewhat in the background while the canon events of Kingdom Hearts happened, but this sounds good.
Silver, however, seems like a pretty good candidate for Riku's role.
This is probably so far from comprehensive it's ridiculous, but here's some questions/ideas I came up with that might help you establish some parameters.
1. How closely do you want to follow KH's story vs just borrow its setting? You're going to be a lot more restricted if you try to slot Pokemon characters into the roles of Sora, Roxas, Riku, Ansem, etc. than if you just explore 'what happens when their worlds are overrun?'- but the latter also puts a lot more character dynamic/worldbuilding stuff on your shoulders.
2. What happens to the pokemon? Not just the ones belonging to your refugees (or villains, or Nobodies, or whatever) but also the wild ones left behind? What are their Nobodies and Heartlesses like, if any? Should Manaphy take on special significance in this setting because of its heart-based powers
( ... )
Adding, to the point of number four, that if you're okay with the implications, one League's worth of Leaders/Elites/Champion does add up to 13, so if you're directly mirroring the story of the KH games that's worth consderation.
5. KH-style Darkness vs. Dark-elemental pokemon- how similar or different do you want them to be? If the Heartless are effectively Dark-elemental in terms of Pokemon physics, do Steel and Fighting pokemon have enhanced resistance to Heartless attacks? Do they treat Dark pokemon (or maybe just pure Dark-types) as one of their own? Are Dark-types and their trainers feared/stigmatized in the wake of the disaster?

...on the other hand, some of them don't exactly translate all that well for human-ish characters, so leaving out a few may be a good thing.
