>>18993497well now that i think about it, i can take a game i recently played as an example to action- based pokemon game
1. mmo. you create a char by selecting a basic pokemon. as you advance the game you can preorm subquests to unlock more pokemons to create-or, you know, buy them online, because thats how mmos work
2. side scrolling with platforms
3. equiping moves on quick buttons. only 4 moves can be equiped, but many can be learned.
4. pvp mode.
yes, i think i could totally play an action pokemon game like that.
not that there is anything wrong with the current games or something.
