You can use any pokemon, and your character can be from any region.
Oh, and I never answered your pokedex question. I'm sorry. The answer is yes, you can have a pokedex, there already is an internet pokemon database in-game, with all sorts information about certain pokemon, depending on how common or not they are.
I do have a vague destination, but other than the events, I have no plans for the journey. I'll take charge when it feels like things are slowing down too much, but otherwise I want this to be somewhat sandboxy.

It's relatively good advertisement.
On that note, I'll make it known that I still plan on joining but I am very busy as of late, have about twenty chapters of Dickens to read and have less than two days along with other work.
I suggest we take roll call for all the people who have signed up and begin the roleplay. Maybe we'll get more members once they see the RP being active. Just a suggestion.
