There are two main locations for roleplaying.
The Laboratory:
The Laboratory is located in Viridian City, in a building that used to be a Pokemon Center. It looks rather small, but this is because it stretches far below ground-- that's where the magic happens.
There are four floors beneath the ground, of varying size.
B1: The first below ground is the actual laboratory, and is off-limits to anyone who isn't staff. It isn't pretty in there, anyway!
B2 & B3: The second and third basement floors are the barracks.. These floors benefit most from the lab's history as a pokemon center. Hospital-like rooms can be found here with equally as medical-inspired beds, the remnants of the old center patient rooms. Experiments are allowed to stay and take rooms here. Think about what a floor of a hospital would have, and you'll have a general idea of what's available.
This is also where the terminal is for the train, to get to the mansion.
B4: The fourth and final basement floor is the arena. This is the deepest and widest room, the floor made of earth. This room is particularly fortified, meant for the testing of experiments' powers. Now a days, experiments they've sold and their trainers can use this space to test their ability.
The Mansion:
Connected to the underground of the laboratory, there's a small but complex subway system that transports both pokémon and humans to the mansion. Miles outside of the city, the mansion is very large, with a good expanse of land around it for exploration and training.
When a trainer is given a pokemon from the lab, they are also assigned a room here. It can be seen as a 'boarding house' of a sort. The trainers can leave the lab to return to their real homes, of course, but pokemon must stay in the mansion, or the lab.
Dai's family ran a prosperous business, manufacturing both items and accessories for pokémon. Due to the success of their products, they were able to acquire quite an empire and, consequently, a fortune. After the seniors passed on, their fortune was left in charge of their only son: Dai.
After the laboratory was set up and the pokexperiments came to life, the staff realized they could not allow for this new variety of pokémon to be discovered - so the mansion became the shelter for their creations.
The map of the Mansion is still in the works; however, each pokémon and their trainer will have a room to stay at if they desire. There are no single rooms, however, so pokémon will be paired into double rooms with their trainers (or other pokemon, if they have no live-in trainer), and on rarer occasions, triple rooms - there's room for everyone!
There are also other things such as a dining hall, a large kitchen, a common room, a pool, and a game room that has been modified to allow for lighter physical training. The use of powers/abilities by pokémon is strictly forbidden inside the Mansion, however, but are allowed outside of it as long as they don't ruin the garden.
More details to be posted soon.
