>>42009909SMT x Pokemon could be extremely cool if they actually let a team who cared about it handle it. If they kept with the cyberpunk themes they of the older games they could even justify them not really being "Pokemon" so maybe TPC wouldn't be as protective.
I would just love it if they made a normal SMT game and swapped out all the demons for Pokemon. Treat the Legendaries as actual characters, add Negotiation, and make fusion a thing where you can swap skills. Maybe they could up the skill count to 6 like SMT and make Abilities into Skills so you could swap them around. Megas could be like the late- or post-game super demons, so you can get Gardevoir midgame but getting the Mega in your Pokemon Compendium requires a quest.
